Municipalities do this all the time. I can think of at least a half dozen instances locally where they have come up with some really creative explanations for their decisions. The reality is that they know most times the aggrieved party is not going to take the time and $$$ it's going to take to...

I'm pretty sure that those temperature codes are for potable water. Many washes in the US use cold water for everything because the wash water is not classified as potable.

No idea on the cost but here is a list of service centers that CPI sent me a while back.

If you can't guarantee being able to buy the dirt, I would probably recommend walking. It would not be unheard of that a big chain has a situation like yours and eventually decides that they want the dirt for something else and the wash ends up under the blade of a bulldozer.

Don't just walk through. Pay someone to with industry knowledge to look at it. It may very well be the best money you will ever spend. If the seller balks, walk way. Volume count can be cooked extremely easily. If you believe they are "motivated" to sell then you need to find out why. They may...

One other thing just occurred to me. In many states, use of phone while driving is a crime. Why would I install an app on my Dodge UConnect system that I have to pull up on the touchscreen when I can push one button on my steering wheel, ask a question, and the answer pops up on the map? In...

So they are leasing the place and going to sub-lease to you? You give them $100K up front and you might be able to negotiate a buyout in 9 years? I'm not a big fan of leasing but subleasing would be an absolute deal breaker. Also, how old is the equipment? Does the site need improvements...

I just hit the voice button on my steering wheel, say "Fried Chicken", and the closest places pop up on google maps on my display.

Wow. That is very rough looking. Those lines are most likely the lines that delivery chemical/air to the bays for your low pressure chemicals. Attached is a basic self serve flow diagram. I'm also curious about the high pressure like with what appears to be an unloader zip tied to the wall...

What is the GPM of the pump? Typically the pump is a 10GPM for two membranes with a 7gpm flow control on the output.

I can applaud your thought and effort but, to be frank, you're really off base. The overwhelming majority of people wash their vehicles as part of a larger set of travels near their home. For example: I have errands to run tomorrow morning(Home Depot, butcher shop, etc.) and because my truck is...

No reason to get snarky because I am dead serious, how many hours a week do you have available to dedicate to the wash? You'll have some weeks where it needs 15-20 and others where you will feel like you never leave the place. I've been doing this a long time and if you're already talking about...

That always has been, and always will be, the single biggest determining factor.

Not to sound too harsh, but if you don't have time to have decals made you probably don't have time to be properly operating a wash. Especially one full of equipment from a manufacturer that no longer exists.

This really sounds like a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

That looks similar to some we used to use. The secondary is a two taps. Purple is 24 common, Red is 24 hot if you have 230 on the primary and the red/white is 24 if you have 208 primary on ours. I'm not familiar with the primary wire colors. Is there any markings on it? Is the one with the 220...

Combine these three into 1 event.

If you are 100% certain everything is working well, schedule and advertise a "Free Wash Weekend" Grand Re-Opening celebration. Grill some hotdogs and burgers, maybe some ice cream, etc.

You're at a good place because the first thing is to know as much as possible about the business. We see far too many people that look at this industry from the outside and think it's a license to print money and don't realize the real amount of actual blood, sweat, and tears that goes into that...

The check valves in the attic are to prevent high pressure from backfeeding not to stop chemical from leaking. Problem is with either the solenoid or a slight leak in the line causing air to get behind liquid.
