Advice on Booms for water, FB & Air Dryer

[soonermajic]

I have my main boom in center, then FB on Right side. I want to add an Air Dryer to the right side(cause all customers drive up on the Left & would see it there).
Should I switch do a dual arm in the center? Or, just move the foam brush to the Left side & add air on the right? That would give me 3 separate booms, & I'm afraid of tangling hoses...

I already bought 2 dual arm booms off Craigslist, a year ago...just in case...

More booms, more problems, there is always going to be tangling problems when you have more than one boom in the center of the bay, if you look how some washes stagger the booms it may give you an idea of what you are in for, there is no easy answer, you just have to try it, do it in one bay and see the result < then judge from that if you want to continue installing in the rest of you bays. I have double booms in 11 bays < in the center and they get tangled allot, because the customers want to get the most for their money and will use both at the same time, I think the booms are designed to say use the high pressure, then the foam brush, then the air dryer, but it never works that way, they will use both booms at the same time possibly < in your situation, then use the dryer at the end when they are done. They are always trying to get done in the least amount of time, when you are hoping they will spend more time getting done.

I have center mounted high pressure parked to the selector door side of the bay. Triple foam hose(no boom) parked pointing to high pressure gun. Foam brush hose and boom, and air gun and boom outward from center of opposite side of bay. Some tangles but overall not too bad, make sure they are setup to fold to wall away from each other.
