    Cat 310 Hammering

    I’m referring to the main water inlet to the pump, not the soap. if you’re inlets are plumbed to pressurized city water, then the situation I’m describing is less likely, but still worth looking at. in my experience, the biggest “WTF is wrong with my pump” issues are - something obstructing...

    Water Softener

    Can that be real? Is this sourced from a well? thats like 15x what’s considered hard water. I’ve only seen numbers like that in industrial concentrators. My well water is 700ppm and that’s the highest residential number I’ve ever tested

    Cat 310 Hammering

    It will trick you because water will flow freely through the hose and check from the gravity tank and you’ll think there’s no obstruction, but it will starve the pump after a few seconds of running. I honestly love troubleshooting, but this one was traumatic for me. Best of luck

    Cat 310 Hammering

    oh my lord, I went through a similar head banger few months ago… it was terrible. Overhauled one of my pumps for basically no reason very very long story short, maybe have another look at your suction check and make sure there’s no issue there. Make sure the nipple isn’t screwed in too far or...

    Is this Self Serve a Good Buy ?

    Don’t be seduced… Always be willing to walk It’s a lot like buying a truck. You wanted a cream puff 1 owner ‘99 F-250 7.3, but 3 weeks later you pull the trigger on a clapped Chevy from Facebook with little history because the seller sweet talked and you lost control of yourself. I get it… I’ve...

    PDQ Tandem Vertical Brush

    All, looking for a vertical brush for my tandem rite touch. My brushes bristles were scythed off on a sharp rusty fender and now it’s way out of balance. New one is a lot more expensive than I thought. Just scanning for options, seeing if anyone knows of used one or alternative brand part #...

Our CC revenue is still steadily going uphe button and $15 pre-auth charge complaints vanished...

    Survival; Just bought a car wash, Now tunnel opening a block away

    Greg, were there any other express washes relatively close to this location prior to last Feb? Essentially I now know that I have an express wash a mile south of me and a mile NE of me. Trying to determine how much this has already impacted me and how much one right next door may add to the...

    Survival; Just bought a car wash, Now tunnel opening a block away

    The more I read the more I think I’m already living in the express market and didn’t know. my SS is the breadwinner and my touchless does at least 5x what my soft touch does. I’ve just assumed that nobody likes the soft touch and I’ve gotten used to it. Would be nice if that’s the case

    Survival; Just bought a car wash, Now tunnel opening a block away

    I appreciate that. My inexperience yields my ignorance, but is it possible to coexist with these giants and sometimes even benefit? I’ll focus on our strengths and provide the best for our customers. Doing that is all one can do.
