    Algea on the floor

    Hey, Greg, we are the same testing products. I am trying Moss Be Gone from Quest. I've been using it in my automatic bays for the past few months and just spray it on. The algae will turn brown and goes away in a few days. It does appear to have some residual. It's a product that has been in...

    Reclaim overflowing with foam

    If you just refilled the tanks with fresh water, you may need to wash a few more cars to see if the foam level decreases. You have fresh dish water now with lots of foam, wash a few pots and pans, and the foam level will drop. If not, you need to contact your new chemical supplier and let him...

    Which Plastic wall panels?

    I installed EZ PVC for all the walls in my 5/2 in 2019. Definitely as good as Extretech or even better. When purchased all the panels came from Canada, so the good stuff, but picked locally at their facility near Tampa, FL I periodically clean it with SAW from Quest and it looks good as new...

    Unitec WS and MDB Nayax

    Greg, I've had the Nayax's going on two years now on our Wash SelectII's. They are running with boards we purchased through Mike Lowe. Clearing time is atleast twice as fast as the old techology from Unitec, plus the multitude of acceptance methods: mag swipe, chip reader, tap, apple or google...

    All in credit card processing fees

    I have 7 Nayax units that receive a flat rate of 2.5% without charge backs. There is a money service fee of 7.95 per device for a total of $55.65 per month which includes AT&T cell service to each device. My phone service is only used to remotely view my camera system now. Also, I am a 5/2 and...

    VAC IT UP SYSTEM Questions

    I have a prediction that you will be rich one day and find streaks of silver in the columns of your wash one day. I have had a Vac-It-Up system in my site for over twenty years. It's a 5/2 with four double vac islands. The system has been close to "flawless", it's entire life, but it is possible...

    icoin acceptor

    I have used Secure Coin acceptors in my bays for years and sent a batch in for service last year. When I sent them in I found out from Magikist they were offering a new upgraded design which allow the acceptor to be easily opened in the case of coin jams. The biggest surprise for me is they gave...

    Wiring a Nayax Amit 3.0 with Dixmor timer

    We just installed Nayax VPOS’s on our SS Bays with Dixmor LED 6 and Magic Kist acceptance, plus our other voltage requirement was firing our Vac It Up coin vac system The same voltage issues were encountered but rectified by just dropping a power wire from our power supply from our camera system.

    Cassida C500 Coin Counter Sorter off Sorter

    I didn't buy a Cassida, but did buy a Ribao Coin Counter from Amazon a year ago for $420 because my Scan Coin 303 was just worn out. The Ribao seemed like a direct copy of my old Scan Coin but was faster and came with spare part, belts, and tools. I can't comment on the quality of the new Scan...

    Rehab Car Wash

    My thoughts are good luck, I'm an operator with a 20 year old facility, also, in Lakeland, Florida and to be honest I am scratching my head trying to figure out where your sites are located. Hopefully, you have looked around the area since there are 2 brand new Express tunnels under construction...

    Chemicals

    I'm using the Total Shield product as my CCP passes for my IBA's noting excellent water break. But, what is unbelievable is the depth of gloss recognized on the vehicle surface and the feel of a hand paste wax, it is just a softness I haven't seen before. I will say, I have always known you...

    Chemicals

    I use Quest products for my Twin IBA's and Self Service bays. I am using all their 3X and 2X products and only have 5 Gallon containers onsite. Their products provide great foaming, scents, and cleaning. Their Total Shield product is unbelievable. Jason Huf is one of the best in the industry.

    RO production pump pressure

    Your operating pressure will depend on the type of membranes you are running in your unit. Today, we see the use of high flow/low pressure membranes with an operating range of 110 to 150 PSI versus high pressure membranes traditionally used which operated from 200 to 250 PSI
