How am i pushing equipment? I work on car washes everyday and i know you wont have this problem with hydraflex because its on demand. No mixing tank that just sits and coagulates.
Flush and regeneration are two different things. A purclean ro flushes for 2 mins every 4 hours and whenever you turn the power off/on. By default the regeneration happens every 7 days.
I always change all seals on cat pumps if any of them are worn. Youre unloader could be wearing out. Check cages and o rings on the check valves. See if there is water mixing with the oil. Make sure none of the plungers are cracked. What model cat is it?
When i first opened my basic wash was $6 and it cost me just over $2. With all the chemical cost increasing monthly its hard to stay on top of the cost analysis but ive gone up my wash prices recently also to help offset.
