My card readers are silver not black. The electronics in the back are covered with black plastic instead of clear

Correction I remember Diamondwash has Ryko equipment right across the street from the factory.

I contacted both RDM and Digikey neither could help me with Ryko CC readers. I am assuming that Diamondwash is not using Ryko equpment I thought I read he used PDQ. I am curious Soapy if you ever had one go bad on you? I got both of mine in 2007 and I thought we had similar equipment. They are...

Thanks. I have contacted both companies and will post what the resolution is.

I have replace 2 of these to the tune of $950 a pop. Is there a company that refurbishes these things. Ryko did not ask for the old ones back and I kept them. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction so the next time one goes I can have a spare on the shelf. Seems like a waste...

I have a 2 IBA site as well 1 friction 1 touchless. I do about 30% more friction than touch free. I also have less problems with friction machine no complaints about cleaning quality and the chemical/utility costs per wash are less.

If you read this forum then you know cost per drum vs. cost per car are 2 different things. I spent $15,000.00 in chemicals 1st year. I think that is too high also. I tried some different chems that were cheaper by the drum but was not happy with them. Before I try anything else I am going to...

CC reader kept customers card. Turned wash off and on got the card out. Did it again. Shut down the amtt altogether brought back up worked fine for a couple of hours. Now it will not process cards at all tried 3 different cards. Opened AMTT cannot see anything wrong. Any suggestions would be...

Thanks for all the replies. It seems 70-75 % is the most common. I run 45-50 %. My prices are higher than most 6,8,10,12. Do you think that has anything to do with it? I was the first IBA in a 75 mile 4 county area to break the 10 dollar mark. My top wash is located at the top of the menu. I...

The pit quote was from US Filter not Ryko. Do you have any suggestions as to who I should call for a price. 1500.00 was for pumping out solids and liquids from 3 SS bays and 2 Auto's. How much should something like that cost? Thanks for your replies.

Chemical Delivery is free you are correct. However I was charged a trip fee the last time they delivered chemicals because I had service work done. When I got the invoice I called and disputed it and was told that is Ryko policy. The tech said "If I turn a wrench you get charged a trip fee" he...

Thank for your reply I am not or was not offended. You are correct if I had known about this forum before I built this wash I would have done things much differently. I appreciate everyone's input and hope that I can help others in the future, once I learn something.

In Maryland. No website. I saw yours I see we have similar setups and equipment. I have a softgloss XS and a Radius as well as 3 ss bays. I akso see you are in Iowa close to the Ryko HQ.

Yes I believe ssupreme clean is correct as I said my ryko guys are not all together so I have not heard much about it.

I asked plenty of questions just not all the right ones. The wash is out of warranty for labor, I still have 2 months on parts. The service techs deliver the chemicals. I got free chemicals with the wash but have used all those. My intent was to stick with ryko chems for a while but when I found...

Has anyone used the new Ryko presoak for touchfree. It is supposed to be one product vs. 1 lo and 1 hi. Does it work well? Is it cost effective? Do you still do 2 seperate passes? My local ryko office is in turmoil because of some employee turnover. They seem to mainly focus on gas stations and...

1. Chemical cost per car. Is there an average target? I have a softgloss and a Radius. I marked all the barrels at the first of the month and am going to do the math this week. 2. Pumping out pits. How often should this be done? A U.S. Filter rep suggested every 3 months. He quoted 1500.00 to...

I have 4 wash packages in my 2 IBA's. My top package runs 45-50% of my sales. When I first opened a Ryko consultant told me that if you sold more than 15% of your top package your price was too low. A Simoniz rep then told me that I should be 50-75% top package. Anyone who could respond with...
