Oasis Typhoon?

Glanced quickly through the older posts and couldn't find anything on the Oasis Typhoon.

Any one have any opinions on this IBA?
 
Im not gonna step on any toes, my opinion after putting one in years ago. there are a lot of good machines out there Id look into some other options.
 
Maybe you had problems years ago but the Typhoon would hold its own against any other touch free unit on the market.
 
I have had 3 Monsoons and one Typhoon. I would not go with a Typhoon again unless I had an existing location that I new was extremely high volume. I have been happy with my Monsoons until the last one I bought. It had an updated pumping station with a factory design flaw that blew my pump out in less than 2 years of operation (It never worked properly and had an extreme vibration). Oasis has refused to help out with my $2,000 parts bill but my supplier (Townco Equip.) was nice enough to give me the labor because they are honest people.

Good Luck,

Russell
 
Thanks for the info.

How much maintanance does an IBA take on a weekly basis? Is it necessary to have the wash staffed when operating the IBA? I currently only have SS bays and am able to do the necessary work (cleaning, repairs, etc) by myself and I don't need to be there watching it all the time.

Basically, how reliable are they and will I realistically be able to keep my full time job if I put one in?
 
A great Distributor and a location close by is the key to your delima. Search out the most solid performance Automatic you can find that requires little maintenance. There are a couple depending on your location.

I'm in Iowa. Any you recommend?
 
I'm a long way from you, but if I were looking I would hit the shows, talk with every operator that you can find. They will be doing a lot or bitching if they have a bad Distributor and are having trouble with their automatics. Don't considers Oil Company Automatics--they don't even notice what they spend or how often they are broken down. Find the Distributors close by and get information from operators on their performance. Like I said, a good Distributor close to you will make for success. You are going to have constant problems that need solving and some Automatics are just more durable than others. Not being over engineered and simplification in design soon have great meaning ( Not just a pretty face). From the forum you can pretty quickly tell who is having the problems and why. I hate to try to name Automatics, others would probably feel differently, but you can find them among the top Manufacturers here on the Forum.

He gave his opinion. He SAID it's his opinion. He didn't make any statement that needs to be backed up by fact.

As far as us all being adults, why do your messages look like the texts of a 12 year old?
 
I would contact Darrell Winter from Midwest Carwash Systems in the Cedar Rapids area. He covers Iowa and Nebraska and can give you the pros and cons of a few machines. His number is (319) 533-5215.
