    So what would you do (self serve bay abuse)

    This exactly. I had a lady call me and tell me she's disgusted with her car wash this morning and how it was a big waste of money, theres dirt all over her car and she will never be back. My first question was ok which wash did you use the soft cloth or the touchless. She replied the hand held...

    Washworld Speaker

    The Floyd bell speakers work great. My advice is drill a little hole in the bottom of the back plate to allow the water to escape from wiring area.

    I finally got a Portal Ti, but need some help.

    Have you tried calling the distributor you bought it from? Refurbished is a loosely used word that is defined differently by who you ask and what they mean by it. Some people think putting decals on a machine considers it refurbished.

    Automatic damage and stupid people

    File a police report. It will be essential in getting your deductible back if you make an insurance claim. The subrogation department will give it back to you but you have to stay on top of it. They will not contact you and tell you they owe you money. You have to be on top of them.

    Anyone repair their own motors? (Start switches, bearings, etc)

    I have single phase motors on some air compressors and pro con pumps at least 20 of them and they have lasted 10 years plus. If there not all 10-20 years old then theres no reason for one to go bad every year or two. Check what wire gauge is feeding them. If that s good then buy a different...

    4040 RO Membrane help

    THIS. I remember starting out having no money. I use to pay a crackhead $100 to shovel and bucket a 1000 gallon pit. It would take all day maybe two. It is what it is and you got to do what you have to survive. Fast forward I order 8 vac trucks at a time and hit all the spots in one day. Its a...

    Hamilton HTK need upgrade or CC won't work starting June 17

    It's $300 for hard drive upgrade or $2300 for controller upgrade. Something about the "sockets" that process CC info is the reason for upgrade now that there finally shutting down 2 1/2 years after EOL. Beyond my pay grade. This time I did the controller but I expect in few years to only have...

    Why are you running through motors so quickly. Pretty strange to have so many go bad so quick. You should try a different brand.

    Underground RO tank

    I dont think an underground tank would collapse unless it had no water in it for a long period of time. Thats pretty cool idea though to have an underground tank in equipment room.

    Hamilton HTK need upgrade or CC won't work starting June 17

    Thought id share. Got a call from Hamilton today. My HTK is about 5 years old running windows 8. Apparently windows 8 is discontinued and the HTK's that have it need to either do a hard drive replacement for about $300 or buy a new controller for $2300 in order to accept credit cards past June...

    Chemical shipping cost?

    Dont ever go off of soap for price per gallon. It's price per car that you want to compare. All soap is differant. Find one that you can get a good cost per car even if it's twice as much per gallon. it doesn't matter. Sounds like you're new. I would not be buying online. You need to find a...
