    Anyone know how to stop these fittings from leaking?

    I've had issues with the galvanized version from K/R leaking due to over tightening. Never had an issue before, so chalked it up defective batch of Chinese mfg. You may also be experiencing QC issues. I didn't raise issue with the cheap ones, but surely would with SS.

    Free air and Free wiper fluid !! and we did away with tokens

    docopp, We have been providing free air for 20 yrs and as you stated the traffic can be overwhelming at the hose. People love it and I love providing it, but I will chirp at some of the regulars about enabling procrastination. It's really cheap advertising and invaluable good will. Most of...

    no soap on high pressure

    I had a similar problem in one bay and it turned out to be a bad rinse solenoid which allowed the pump to pull rinse water rather than wash water/soap. It may have been getting some of both, but soap was so dilute it was useless. Rebuilt valve and problem went away. Good luck and let us know...

    Need wide labeler

    I use a Brother P-Touch with TZE tape (UV protected so no sun fading) What I really like is the split tape backing which makes installation very easy.

    In-Bay and Vac Station Lights

    Congrats! That's a lot of years of service. You must have great, smooth electrical service. I could never get that kind of life. No regrets since converting to LED though. At $100 a fixture they do everything necessary.

    Resurfacing Bay Floors

    Greetings: Bay floors are starting to erode despite annual sealing, so I am considering going over them with something that is pigmented and textured. Does anyone have a recommendation for non- slip concrete floor coatings to use or avoid? Thanks! MC

    Need Help With Source for Vac Filter Bags

    Thanks for all the suggestions. I visited with Carolina Pride at the ICA show and as luck would have it, they have about 60 filter bags on hand as "old" inventory. Should have one by the end of the week to confirm it fits then will replace all. Vacs are in great shape otherwise. MC

    Business Success and Firing Customers

    This is why business owners stay away from the cash register. Employees don't have the latitude to give discounts. Personally, I look at how good a customer/friend they are and how frequently/freely they spend with me. If they always buy the cheapest wash, they're telling me it's about them and...

    At my wits end with tankless water heaters. Need help from those who use them.

    I have three Navien 240s that adequately provides 120-125 degree water to six bays using a 125 gal storage tank. They handle the busiest days w/o a problem.

    Doors ext. mount freezing

    I have another brand mounted outside. After four troublefree years of use we had minor problems during a stretch of subzero temps last winter. I think ice may have built up in the head. Door would only raise half way. Stops were readjusted and we were back in business. Planning to add another...

    ICA Show 2016 Nashville

    Nashville is a happening town and can't wait to make the trip. Vegas has gotten "old" unless it's a launch pad for post show excursions. I thoroughly enjoyed Chicago (would have preferred later date), and am more inclined to attend non Vegas venues. BTW- the Nashville schedule provides an...

    Bill Counter - Mixed Value

    I replaced my Scan Coin after multiple malfunctions with a $200. Royal Soverign RBC1000 from Sam's Club about twelve years ago. It doesn't sort, but it has never not worked! The only maintenance has been the occasional cleaning of the optical sensors with compressed air.

    R/O arch leaking

    Define "drips continuously". Is it siphoning from the RO storage tank or just emptying the plumbing the rain bar and arch? You could install a ball valve after the solenoid to see if it is actually leaking through it. Our rain bars are installed upside down so they don't drain between uses...
