I am going to be installing my self serve dog wash shortly and I ordered a 6 block solenoid for dispensing shampoo etc... It occured to me that I will be pulling directly from 1 gallon containers without the aid of a hydro minder with all their wonderful colored tips. Do I need a metered...

I currently have coin acceptors in my self serve bays that accept quarters and tokens only. Not sure of the brand but they are roughly 10" wide X 15" tall. I have some very nice faceplates from a Ryko conversion (That I dont want to waste) that have slots for normal coin acceptance (slugbuster)...

I have an AMTT CS touch screen pay station at my IBA. I ordered a light sensor because the LCD screen is very dim. Hopefully its the sensor. The screen may be burning out. Apprently If I have to replace the screen I can only do it with a Ryko direct replacement. Anybody had any experince with...

I bought a bunch of self serve and IBA parts and one fo the items was an ICS Tunnel Master wall mount control box. It measures approximately 16" wide x 10" high. I couldnt find it on the ICS website and I have no idea if there is a market for it. I attempted to download a picture but it wasnt...

Laser Lights If anyone decides to do this themselves I can forward some suppliers of lasers that I have used to purchase weapon lasers in the past and they were substatially cheaper than what I could find here. I would love to do this in my Ryko IBA but I have 2 large openings (about 20'...

Another Upgrade idea. How about doubling the price and having a couple dancers come out and start cleaning your ....well you get the picture. Very creative, definately makes people remember your wash.

Pump leak Thank you for the answers. I will be swapping it for a Flojet.

Super paint... "People like shiny stuff. Diamonds, gold, clear coat paint. " I know I had something to add to this post but I saw something shinny. Oh well :D

I have an ARO pump mounted on my triple foam rack. I think its the 1/4" non-metallic pump (hexagonal tube shaped). It has a brass pourous nipple like protrusion on one end. Air appears to be leaking out of this brass fitting. I dont know about these pumps but I am guessing the seals are leaking...

RO System It is tankless but I think that is more for home use. Based on the production rate I would need to store it in a water tank for later usage. The system is $700 so it's affordable as long as it does what it claims. Thats why I am getting some opinions here. I can't imagine running...

I am looking at a Hydro-Logic Evolution 1000 RO tankless RO system for my 3 bay self-serve wash. It appears to be a good system, just not sure I am looking at all the right parameters. I would have it fed by soft water, then into the RO and then into a storage tank. The production rate would...

"The scariest aspect of this crime is that it would have been 3 on 1 if either my business partner, maintenance man or myself would have been there. All would have been unsuspecting when opening the door." A small security tool in .40 caliber would help even those odds. Not an option for...

self serve wheel prep A lot of good advice. I look at it this way. How much would it cost to try this out? A brush ($20), a 30 gallon drum (probably have one) and some chemical ($10). Your into it for $30 (probably high) and see what happens. The worst thing is it gets stolen the first day...

Good work I have to say, with our busy schedules and all that was very nice of yo to take the time and reort this to the owner. I hope he appreciated it, I sure would.

stainless vac cleaning I have used a can of cloth or wadding soaked stuff (can't remember then name) polishes very well. You can get it in auto parts store. Its not really practical for large surfaces. After its polished I use a spray on stainless steel cleaner I bought at Home Depot. It comes...
