    PDQ G5 Triple Foam Manifold

    It seems like a silly design because its a lot of weight hanging from where it threads in and where it threads in is a thin wall. Mine cracked. Does anyone have a used one that they would like to sell, or has anyone replaced this part with something else that works better or is more cost effective?

    Which Self Serve Equipment is the Best ?

    Parts are very hard to find. But WET still has some laying around. The ports on the valves get debris in them and then it floods the utility room. Or the solenoids go bad all the time and nothing will come out in the bay. It. Breaks. Constantly. I’d be happy with this guys old setup if he’s...

    High Water Rates

    I'm thinking its more likely an inefficiency in something else. This bill was eye opening. We will be looking for the problem and hopefully find it asap

    High Water Rates

    we have two touch free and three SS, and i don't feel I'm washing a respectable amount of cars is my concern. I'm worried there is an issue with my RO. if the membranes are bad would a higher percentage go to waste? It looks like we washed 1050 cars that month which is only 35 per day.

    High Water Rates

    We have a few locations so I do have some comparison and i think i already know the answer to this. But do these water and sewer rates seem insane? Is anyone else paying this much?

    Boiler losing anti freeze

    Haha, no hard feelings. I was guessing sarcasm. We are working on isolating it, the valves are a bit crunchy so we are contemplating turning them. Its unfortunately definitely in concrete somewhere. I just need to make a friend with a thermal camera. If i had that, i wouldn't be opposed to...

    Boiler losing anti freeze

    No part of me expected passive income. And it hasn't disappointed. 7 locations sort of exacerbates the issues. But we are determined to work through it. I'm not posting on here to complain, just to avoid the same mistakes that others have already learned from.

    Ha, it begins! Our first snow of the season.

    You nailed it washnshine. I guess i just have to trust in the process. But worrying is what I do best. Id feel a whole lot better if we got a nice heavy snow to bring on the slush. I feel like Rochester used to get big storms, but I could just be remembering it as a kid.

    Ha, it begins! Our first snow of the season.

    I'm told by some other local owners that mid December is when it starts in our area. We still seem to be in the doldrums of November, September and October were not to bad and then November was terrible. I am just far enough east of Buffalo that we have not had any real snow yet and they just...

    Ha, it begins! Our first snow of the season.

    We haven't really had the snow yet, and not much salt. So, we have not had a rush yet. Where are you located?

    Boiler losing anti freeze

    I'd imagine the only way to repair it is to dig up and replace that section?

    Boiler losing anti freeze

    Our boiler is needing to be topped off daily. The employees told us this is an existing problem that the previous owner knew about but didn’t fix, but did mention that the leak seems to be worse than before and it’s in the floor in one of the self serve bays. Until we are able to locate and...

    Return on a Reload

    I do like your suggestion of just doing one of the auto bays. Would you keep the other running as a g5 still or just shut it down entirely until business grows?

    Return on a Reload

    We would be reloading the SS as well. It’s unfortunately a very problematic iwash system. And it washes just about 15k a year so it’s right on the edge of needing two if we are able to increase business.
