RB, I can't help you with your issue, but I've been wanting to ask you about your i5000's and this reminded me. I have the D&S 5000, and will probably want to replace it in a couple of years. I have a low ceiling height in the bay and most machines won't fit in the bay. When you replaced...

Has anyone successfully switched from Bluepay to another merchant services company and found that they save money? I know that it isn't an easy switch, but possible.

The words "Foam Brush" do scroll across the display. It starts the scroll over every time she says "Foam Brush". I really don't know how to fix this.

I have Ettowah Valley Coin boxes with a rotary dial to select what feature you are useing. When you make your selection, a woman's voice comes over the speaker and says "Rinse" (or whatever was selected). In one of my bays, when the customer selects the Foam Brush, the woman's voice says "Foam...

I pay a high school boy $8/hour to dig it out by hand. I have a "catch basin spoon" (shovel with a long handle). My pits are about 4 feet deep.

What does "PCI Compliant" mean?

I would love to have you come look at the wash. I tailgate to most games and would be happy to have you join our tailgate party as well. As to enclosing it, have any of you guys researched all in one enclosed petwashes that I could place right next to my building? What brands look good and...

I am posting this message here, because I want replys from people who own petwashes and people that have decided against them. I have a spot where I could put an outdoor petwash tub. I am an unattended 3 and 1, but I have a high school boy that cleans up once a day. I've seen beautiful indoor...

Does it matter which of the two top nozel hoses you disconnect? Also, what do you do with the hose when you disconnect it? Just let it hang there or do you have to take it out somehow?

My machine uses a LOT of presoak. I have switched to Blendco, and want to use it at the recommended strength. At full strength, I don't think I need the VOLUME of presoak that my machine delivers. I heard that you can choose to cut back the number of "top oscillating" nozels that deliver...

I would install them. I have an unused position on my rotary switch already. My problem is that I don't know where I could install them and them not get in the way of something else. I already have two overhead 360 degree booms and one 180 degree boom on each of the walls. With 4 booms...

This isn't specifically related to car washes, but as a bunch of entrepreneurs, I want your opinions. I remember traveling in Ohio and seeing little drive through convenience stores. Your car actually drove through the building. Some of them looked like little barns with a barn door open on...

Yes. I am going to do something like that.

The 55's will be on their side. I'm going to take the top bung off of one and use for a overflow drain/vent. The other two will need a vent a little higher up, because they won't have overflow drains. I guess I could just drill a hole in the tops of the barrels. If I took the bung off of all...

After you take your camera to Hooters and document the girl's "violations", I would appreciate it if you would post those videos on here. I prefer the large violations to the small ones, but will view both for the sake of our industry.

Since I couldn't get a larger tank through the door of my equipment room, I am having three 55-gallon drums plumbed together like this post describes. My question is whether each of the 55-gallon drums will need to have its own vent. This post only calls for one vent, but I'm thinking that the...

I did the Grace for Vets last year. Free basic wash for any vets 8:00 to 5:00. It was a good thing to do with my son, since he was born on Veteran's Day, but I really don't think it did the business any good. I may do it again, since I got a good feeling from it. I do appreciate the vets. I...

I have curly hoses and mine works fine. It's not a D&S system and I don't know what the presures are.

I guess that I don't have the necessary kit to test the titration at the barrel. I am using high Ph powder in the drum that mixes itself (SuperSat). I was told that this setup keeps the solution in the drum relatively constant, because it is super saturated. In other words, it is as strong as...

What does "test your barrel" mean. I only know how to use the titration kit for the mixed presoak in the tank. I also don't know what the number 500 would mean. My automatic is the D&S 5000. This machine uses a large volume of presoak on every pass. Very thirsty machine. I think I am...
