    Reject Water

    I've been using it for chemicals. Works fine. Storage tank, bladder tank and booster pump gives a even dilution of chemicals. Its soft water. Even use it on polishes and waxes.

    Pipe/ Tube clamp

    Pipe/ Tube clamp

    I could really use some help. I have Googled this and can not find what I am looking for. I am renovating a wash and want to use a clamp rail for the polytube lines. The old equipment had a few of them, but did not have any name brands or numbers on them. They were black plastic and had...

    Superior Fan Removal

    If you use the bolts to remove the taper lock / hub it also helps to clean the other set of threads first. I use a tap and some fluid to get the rust and gunk out so the bolts aren't having to fight threw. This will help from breaking the bolts. Also, and I know everyone won't have access to...

    Cold weather air blow down/weep

    For some of you guys that have done this before, please advise me on my current plan. I have Dixmor LED5 timers in each bay. I plan on using the rotary switch output to an off delay timer. The timer would control an air solenoid with lines to the foam brush manifold and HP hose manifold on...

    HP check valve

    Not sure I follow, but I think if I describe my setup a little more, it may help the readers. My setup is water tank, pump, then on pump outlet is a tee, then HP hose to bay. The tee is the inlet for the weep. Most of the pumps will back flow a small amount back into the water tank. The...

    HP check valve

    Each bay of my self serve has a check valve for the high pressure water line on the manifold above each bay. The presoak, tire cleaner, and rainX also attach to this manifold and they also each have a check valve. My question is: Is it ok to have another check valve on the outgoing line from...

    Dollar Car Washes

    I have owned one and operated another $.25 self serve. The one I operate increased the startup from 45 seconds to $1.5 for 4 minutes about six months ago. It is a part of a larger express tunnel complex and has seen better success with the change. I increased the cost at the one I own three...

    511 Hydrominder

    Take the syphon break parts off and use the rest. You'll lose more in shipping sending it back.

    Future of Carwashing

    This topic is something i have been contemplating for sometime now. I own a six bay self serve in a low income area. I also work for a company that operates exterior and flex serve locations. One of these locations has an additional eight bay self serve that is possibly one of the busiest or...

    clogged drains

    I dont have pits in every bay, most have a single pipe that connects to a pit which can be 50' away. I have a 1/2" PVC line with nozzle that can be connected to a water hose. This works most of the time. I have also used air with a lot of success. I have a line that I can run out from the...

    MEI bill acceptor

    Being in Vegas, I still haven't looked at the hopper. Being that I tried a different hopper and it worked, what problem could there be with the control board. Also, how do the plates work? There must be an easy fix. Loose wire, misaligned contact, bad connection to wire harness.

    DRB StatWatch

    For those of you that use DRB SiteWatch, I strongly suggest you look into StatWatch. I have been using DRB for more than 12 years, and have used many remote viewing programs to keep in contact with what is going on at our stores, but this new StatWatch is awesome. It was about the easiest...
