    Installing a rollover carwash but my bay is only 28' long

    My bay is 17x36. When my Maxx 5 is in the home position, I have to walk sideways to fit between the front brush and door jamb to get around the machine. Same when the machine is at the front of the bay against the bump stops. So...

    IBA Gallons Per Car

    Thanks Soapy. I'm going to do the water meter test. MGSMN, why do you think your softgloss uses that much more water than mine ? The 2 machines have to be nearly identical. Soapy, didn't I see sonewhere that you have a Ryko also ?

    Weep are running, weep system is shut down

    This. ⬆ Or you could also shut the valve off upstream of the water meter.

    IBA Gallons Per Car

    I never really paid much attention to this before. The water and sewer bills seemed reasonable, so I just paid them. That was with my first Ryko Softgloss for 18 years. I've had my Maxx 5 for just about a year now, and the usage seemed to be about the same. Business has picked up the last couple...

    How do you organize your hoses?

    I agree. You obviously took the time to do that right, time well spent. A lot of times mine start out that way. Then something needs fixed, usually in a hurry. Then I start zip tying stuff to pretty much anything.

    Cryptopay Swiper Mounting Holes

    Oh, Ok, that's good. The one I installed on the paystation didn't have the button, and had a plug on the wire. The ones I need for the bays will have the button, so i'm not sure how it will look like yet. That makes sense now because if it did have a plug, I don't think there is anywhere to plug...

    Cryptopay Swiper Mounting Holes

    Yep. Finally going to put credit cards in the bays. I know, a day late, and a dollar shy. Better late then never though. Good reason to raise prices too after several years. From what I hear Yinz guys say, count up is the way to go, so have to replace the Time Master timers with LED 6's, if I...
