    Replacing the Solid State relays on IVS Select-A_Vac

    If the front door is one piece, it is not a unit we manufactured. Prior to 2004, Fragramatics manufactured those and private labeled them for us. You will want to reach out to them to see if they are still supporting them. I believe they are but it wouldn't be the first time I was wrong.

    Replacing the Solid State relays on IVS Select-A_Vac

    Can you post a couple of pictures? We never had a vac called a "Select-A-Vac" that I can remember. The device you're describing sounds like a diode pack that was used a long time ago in an attempt to limit spikes. It never really worked as hoped, if I recall correctly. If this is one of our...

    Ginsan Lumitouch button not lighting or selecting function

    I would swap boards. If the board is less than 15 years old we usually can repair them. Email me at dkamsickas@ginsan.com and I'll get you an RMA.

    Meter Box Identification

    That is a retrofit door we did. There will be a white sticker on the inside with a serial number on it. It will start with an "S" followed by 6 digits.

    If it were your car wash... New owner

    Did you see actual business records or tax returns? I would never trust a rough estimate from anyone.

    WEEPMINZER SETUP?

    That's...interesting. Like Randy said, typically the Weepmizer is used to control a normally open solenoid that feeds all the bays. We also put a normally open solenoid on each bay that gets shut off when a low pressure function is selected so as not to dilute those chemicals.

    WEEPMINZER SETUP?

    What kind of equipment do you have? The plumbing will vary a bit from manufacturer to manufacturer.

    Tunnel Wash Competition

    Short term it makes sense. Long term, selling memberships for a poor product sure doesn't seem like a good business model. There will be a crash. There has never been a boom that didn't precede a crash.

    Tunnel Wash Competition

    Not totally joking. I know a couple operators who've done it with positive results. Too many of the new tunnels popping up all over the place aren't in the business of turning out clean cars, they're in the business of selling memberships.

    Tunnel Wash Competition

    Put up a sign that says "After your cheap car wash come here and get it clean".

    Dillon Harris Vend Master - Lock identification

    D/H did not manufacture that. It was private labeled by RPD Vending. You can probably reach out to them. https://rpdvending.com/

    Long Bay Petit

    What about the noted easement? They can be both a short and long term pain in the butt.

    Replacing "STOP" with "PAUSE" on Self Serve Decal?

    I've done several new doors and new decals for customers where we changed it to "Equipment Safety Stop". Seems to have worked pretty well.

    Deal or no deal

    That statement always makes me cringe. I put it with "those washes are a license to print money", "It's really passive income", "I'm tired of working long hours so I'm going to buy a wash". Your enthusiasm is great but you may want to temper your expectations a bit.

    Mod Wash Express Tunnels

    Sorry, I was probably too subtle. I meant he could get what he wants if he found the right officials and had deep enough pockets.
