    Kleen-rite

    Hi all, just wondering if anyone has had issues with Kleen-Rite? Before I go into details on a public forum I'd like to contact the man in charge Mike McKonly personally. Unfortunately, one cannot contact him directly without a personal email address. Going via customer service email is...

    UPS / Industrial Power Conditioner

    Hi all, Over the years my carwash has driven me up the wall on some days with weird things happening... At the moment my two IBA entry systems "eat" washes. Customers pay and nothing is happening - sometimes 2 or 3 times in a row (cash or C/C). Then it is all good for a week or two and then it...

    Extrutech fading?

    Hi all, I am looking at Extrutech wall panels. They only warrant their white, light grey and beige against fading (UV resistance). At the moment my walls are grey and I only need to wash them once a year. You just can't see the dirt and I don't want changing this. :) However, I need to replace...

    Excessive moisture in compressor oil.

    I had water in the oil for years. I changed the oil every 3 months and still white. Then I moved the compressor from the cold concrete floor up onto the mezzanine floor. The water was gone. I do an oil change now every year.

    Nayax C/C for car wash?

    Let's say it this way: Cryptopay is not compatible. It is just a matter of time until those readers need to be replaced. The US is probably the only place in the world where you still can "swipe" even if you have a chip card... So buying Cryptopay is buying old stuff. HOWEVER, if Cryptopay was...

    Metal Halide to LED bulb

    I replaced my MH with LED floodlights maybe 3 years ago. 2x 50W LED for each 400W MH. I bought all my LEDs floodlights from a local supplier except one. This one I bought from Ebay. About 15% of the local ones died within 3years. The Ebay one also died. There is no real difference between the...

    Instanteneous electrical hot water system

    Usually the houses have split air conditioning which are great as you only turn on the units that you need and if one aircon fails you can still sleep in one of the other rooms. Some carwashes tried heat pumps but I heard they pulled them out again. No idea why. Don't ask me about gas prices...

    Instanteneous electrical hot water system

    Thanks for your reply. We've got solar and we are in an area where the ROI of our solar is 3.5 years. I was just curios if someone else had experience with it and what brands are out there. Thanks.

    sfr surprise request

    After reading the forum I changed my message board saying: OUR VACUUMS SUCK! I got asked several times when the vacuums would be working again. Unreal! Okay, I changed the board to WASH & DRY - NO IRONING! Guess what? "I didn't know you also had a laundry....":confused:

    New Cars with Auto Braking- Increasing Problem

    A few years ago I had a rental car and drove it into a conveyor. I wasn't aware of the auto breaking system. Great! That car just hit the brakes and the attendant screamed to get the #$%@ing foot off the break!! Nice! I turned the engine on and that helped. They probably wondered what I was...

    Erie hogs hair brush

    Hi all, I just wanted to order a few SS brushes when I got hit with a hammer. It was quite a long time ago since I ordered some Erie hogs hair brushes. What do you use? Is there any cheaper alternative (same quality)? Thanks.
