Thank you to everyone here for the great help and advice received during 15 years of SS wash ownership. Many times, the wealth of knowledge on this forum helped turn a perplexing problem into a simple one. In January 2021, I sold my SS wash. I first purchased in 2005 when it was a run down wash...

Getting insurance in a wildfire area is becoming difficult. For many years I was a member of Western Carwash Assn and always insured with their preferred provider. I just heard this morning that 3 companies have refused to even quote insurance, and my current insurer supposedly will not renew my...

Got it at the local fuel supplier. Thanks!

Yes, foam brush.

I need a gallon or two of methanol. It's a long drive to the chemical supply for such a small amount. Are there any retailers that carry methanol (even under another name) in small quantities? I can't find any. This is for adding to my soap for "winter mix."

Check how your weep water is plumbed especially the valves or soleniods. When I first bought my wash, the weep solenoids were normally closed. So when needed, the weepmizer applied power to let water weep. That worked great until the power went out for a week due to a huge storm. I had huge...

I experimented with some of the round LED lights overhead in the bays. They interfere with my surveillance cameras much more than wall packs.

Same result here. I removed my dumpster. I now have no trash facilities at all, period. Many people advised: "you can't do that!" I took the drastic step because I was at wit's end with overflowing trash. I first tried a bigger dumpster. That attracted even more trash. So I had it dumped more...

That must be very frustrating after all the work and research you have done. Maybe someone here knows of a way to deal with this??

I would start keeping a log of all the time you are spending, even just searching like above, in case you file a claim against these perps.

I hope you do, and I hope they get everything they deserve to come at them. No excuse for their behavior.

I am in Northern CA. Very cold temperatures might be 10F but that is unusual. More like in the teens as winter time lows. Cost? I don't know. The propane tank is filled on an irregular schedule, so it's hard to pin that down. The one thing I can tell you is it is very pleasing to visit on a...

Good point about the glycol. The addition of that does make the transfer of heat to the slabs more efficient. When my system was installed, my plumber carefully evacuated all of whatever fluid was in the lines previously. That fluid had been in there for decades. I don't remember the...

When I bought my wash it had a Weben Jarco 350,000 btu floor heat boiler. And a thermostat. So at 35 degrees outside air temperature, it fired up and went full blast until the outside air temperature warmed back up-- usually 12 or 14 hours later. It was inefficient in multiple ways-- it cost a...

I have an enclosed "trough" under the roof, with lines plumbed similar to yours except no PVC. I'm thinking of re-doing my setup to build a trough on top of the roof, not under it. I really dislike having to do any maintenance on lines jammed into a trough above me. I'm high up on a ladder, at...

Don't remember anything like m22? What I bought is very simple-- the cloghog is a roll of semi-flexible hose, with a jet nozzle on one end and a standard hose type fitting on the other end. I unplugged the factory hose and wand from my pressure washer, and screwed the fitting on the cloghog...

OK, I will try this one more time. I use a ClogHog attached to a pressure washer to clear the stoppages I get in my sewer lines. The price and a link to the product was already posted by me above. I have successfully cleared every stoppage in my sewer lines using this product. Your mileage...

I use it connected to a pressure washer.
