so is air dryer worth installing at a super busy wash?

My IVS 2 motor vacuums. I want to get the most power/suction I can with a standard 2 motor set up. They are on 30amp breakers. What do you suggest?

Has anyone tried this vac motor? https://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-2422-lamb-ametek-115334-2-stage-1-speed.aspx

I have a very busy self serve location, I've been thinking about adding air dryers but worried about the traffic flow slowing down. I know customers are paying for the time but can it cause a negative impact on the site? Also having more equipment = more maintenance, hoses get tangled up in...

I've been using Rowe changers for 10 years. Only issue is the constant hopper jamming or not climbing the track. I've been very hesitant to try other changers because of my comfort level with Rowe changers. I was thinking of a Triad bill breaker/changer unit. What do you all think?

Isn't that their turbo motor? https://www.fragramatics.com/Products/Product/replacement-parts-model-sav/fm-turbo-motor-xl

Where do I order that? You have a part #?

fragamatics says their 2 turbo motors are the same as 4 lamb motors. Does the domel 492.4 fit in a standard IVS vacuum?

Does anyone use a turbo motor from fragamatics? They claim their 1 turbo motor suction equals to 2 lamb motors. They said if I want the most maximum suction use 2 turbo motors. Any thoughts?

bill breaker only or bill breaker/coin changer?

Anyone use a Triad bill breaker only? I currently use Rowe changers and don't want to change from them. I can fix 95% of the problems. I was thinking instead of my employee giving change I can buy a bill breaker. Any thoughts?

Very interesting. I notice fluid control makes a 90degree boom swivel. What's the difference between there 90 degree swivel or if I use a female elbow and use a standard fluid control swivel? https://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-1553-fluid-controls-90-boom-swivel-1-4-mxf-brass-bb-3500psi.aspx...

General Pumps seem very good. Those pumps used mostly on commercial pressure washing units.

how long do your hp hoses last ?

I've thought about using a 1 or 2 ft whip hose and putting the swivel inline with the hose like you said. I haven't done it because I was thinking that's just another hose I have to change and more changes of leaks. Do the whip hoses on top of booms last pretty long? I use to put a hose guard...

Those don't work good for me, they don't last.

I currently have been using fluid control 1/4 2000psi swivels. They last a decent amount of time before leaking. I've tried mosmatic which are worse and more expensive. Anyone know a better quality swivel which costs more but lasts a lot longer?

Do you see a difference between 310s and 310?

I've been using cat pump 310s at all my self service locations. I was thinking about trying a general pump emperor. Any suggestions?

I've been using General Pump YG5000 for by bays. They seem a little heavy especially for women customers. Does anyone recommend a different brand that is durable and light for customers?
