A RO with good quality membranes (98% efficient) should be able to get 650 TDS down to about 13 TDS. Whoever did that install in your pictures should be ashamed. Looks like crap.

Tax returns are the only numbers you can trust. If you don't know anything about a car wash, find a tech or service company to inspect everything. At the minimum get names, serial numbers, part numbers, and even pictures of all equipment and contact the manufacturer to find out if A) They are...

Simple rule: If you wouldn't buy a house without a professional inspection, don't buy a wash without one.

Some distributors are simply irredeemable.

Definitely as close to the foam gun as possible.

There are lots of suggested methods and all of them can suck based on the condition of the decals. We do hundreds of doors a year in our repair room and this is what we do: 1) Remove all components from door 2) Scrap off any loose pieces of decal 3) Soak door in a vat of mineral spirits over...

It's already been said but if the three solenoids are getting energized there are only three things to consider: bad solenoid(s), trash in solenoid(s), bad(or weak) chemical. You left out the awesome tech support you got.

Nope

There is the issue. I had and accident several years ago and totaled my truck. My small independent agent got it handled in about 48 hours. When I went back to the towing lot to get a few personal items from the truck the manager was stunned to see how quickly it was handled. He told me that...

Re-read this thread and it sure appears to me that you're trying to wedge a square peg into a round hole. There have been a lot of points made about the probable issues you're going to have. With all due respect, it seems you're passion for building the site is outstripping the logics of the...

I wish I could be more help but we don't get into the central vacuum systems, although I can't see why you'd want something like that for a 2/1. Seems like overkill me. To me 3-4 stand alone pay vacs would be a better option. You could hand out tokens for free vacuum time to oil change customers.

There's been a lot of consolidation of distributorships over the last three to four years. The only ones I'm currently aware of in Arizona are Sonny's and NCS. There's probably some independent, one-man shows but they can be hard to hunt down.

They can't be repaired for the same reason we had to come out with the GS401, GS402, and GS403. The components we used to manufacture them are no longer manufactured. The base circuitry in those was designed in the late 80s.

Yup. Us. www.ginsan.com 50 or so years of building equipment. Our founder is one of the founders of the industry. We also have dealers all over the place and people like me who have 25 years of experience to support the equipment.

You want to spend the money to hire engineers to design a system for your own carwash? The list of reasons this is a horrible idea is endless but start with the economics. You're going to spend multiple times more on engineers than just buying an already proven system from a company that been...

Their drinking problem under control.

Golf, hookers, and blow ain't cheap anymore.

Maybe at a 1/4 of what he's asking. His P&L could very well be utter BS. Demand 3 years of tax returns. Non-working Auto and vacs? That's like putting a billboard out front for customers that screams "Do Not Use This Carwash". Depending on the auto you could be looking at a few grand to get...

Then it's time to replace the whole Hydrominder.

If it's all of the bays I doubt it's any sort of electrical problem. The bays are all electrically isolated from each other. The only thing in common is the tank setup. If you had sludge in the tank and on the screen that sludge has plugged up the manifold under the tank and possibly the lines...
