For side dryers I really like my Mammoth dryers from Sonnys. I added these to a location that had 3 10hp Ryko dyers with moving nozzles. The mammoth side dryers really provided a much better dry and with in a year I noticed that several of the local tunnels had copied me and put them in also...

I have added in line PVC check valves to all my trifoam setups. You can put them close to the injectors and are easy to replace. Hose barb fittings on each end.

I have had good luck with Lorex camera ssytems.

I posted some pictures of my Pit Boss back in April of 2019on a thread. I have posted several pictures since on the forum. I am out of town right now and don't have any pictures with me to post. Do a forum search under Soapy pit boss and you can see the tractor setup I use.

I have a Ringomatic that I used for 25 years. Always did a good job was taxing labor wise. It always struggled to get black sand out of the bottom of the pits so often would have to handiclam it. 6 years ago we bought a small 25 horse Mahindra and had a custom made front bucket that will reach...

If they salt the roads alot I would look into having a way that people could rinse the underside of the car. A rolling deck with a couple of spray nozzles. I would try to have at least a bay that could handle 2 cars Nothing would be more frustrating to a person to sit in line for long periods of...

They seek to write off 279 million in debt and got another operating loan for 30 million. They sold 6 locations in Orlando for 58 million. You can not wash enough cars to pay almost 10 million per location so there are still suckers being born everyday.

Prayers for Pat.

I have had several Lexair valves on automatics over the years and had a few go bad. I tried once to replace one with a 24 volt solenoid but in the end the Lexair valves worked better. I am talking large 1 inch plus valves.

My city had a certified meter. They took my meter a.nd hooked it in line with their certified meter to verify amount of water. When you are slow take a 55 barrel or two and run your own test and see if it is very far off. Then approach the city. Another thing to check is to see if the city uses...

Check with Royce Industries in Las Vegas. They are located throughout the west and maybe able to help.

Persaverance and the ability to spell better than me.

I plan on going although in recent years the ICA show has very little for the SS operator compared to the past. The best thing is getting to meet with other operators and exchange ideas. It would be great to have a forum dinner again or get together of some kind.

In the past I have fixed a flat piece of metal to provide shade on a photo eye. You could also use a smaller plastic tube and glue it on with epoxy around the photo eye.

Idaho $4 for 3 minutes 40 seconds $1.10 per minute after start up

You should take a 55 gallon barrel and see what your meter shows. Some meters have a multi factor to get the actual gallons used. I had a new meter at a new location installed once and it was reading very high. It was one I had to buy from the city water department. I made them replace it and...

I drill a hole in the bottom of all my waterproof electrical boxes. Inside pump cabinets I also use old heavy water softner bags to loosely wrap around pump motor so any drip don't get onto the motors.

If you have land that you can dump the pit waste on to dry and then haul off it would be well worth it to get your own vacuum pump or tractor set up. I went 23 years with my own vac trailer before retiring it and going to my own tractor and dump trailer. 7 years ago the tractor and trailer setup...

I would rather have good all stainless radiant tube heaters in a automatic bay. I have some that have been running for 30 years. I live in cold northern climate also and radiant heat will heat the rails that the machine drives on free from ice where floor heat won't. Tried the combination of...

So good to see and hear from JJ again. A true industry pioneer and foundation piece. I personally read every publication he put out and it was a tremendous help when I was starting out. Stay safe and warm JJ and hope to see you sometime at the ICA.
