Self Serve Air Shammees

[C.Duncan]

I am looking at installing Air Shammees (air blowers) in my bays. Many of my customers have requested them so they can dry their cars....and more importantly their door seals in the winter to prevent their doors from freezing shut. Does anyone recommend a brand that has worked well for them? Perhaps there a few models a guy should steer clear of? Tks, Cam

Cam,

The air-shammee or others (Blastodry, etc) won't work to dry off the doors seals in the winter. The problem is that the vac motors used in these systems don't generate enough heat to rise the air temp to a level that will allow the water to dry instead of freeze. My air-shammees draw air from my heated equipment room, but that stills isn't enough to do it even on mild winter days.

The other problem is that ice builds up on the guns and hoses from the wash water and so unless you constantly knock it off, people touch them.

So basically they are almost completely unused here in the winter. The only good thing is that you don't have to weep water though them

Thanks Johnny. That is the relay I recall seeing. Simple and inexpensive.
