I run $4 cash to start for 5 minutes, and $5 for 6 min, $10 for 12 min, $15 for 18 min, $20 for 24 min presets on my Nayax readers based on the pulse multiplier. My nearest SS competition is 10 miles in either direction... I have not looked at their prices recently but think I am in line with...

I ended up throwing in the towel on this particular 31DS. After disconnecting the lines and still having issues, I decided to throw it on another bay and the issue followed it. I bought a new 310 and stuck this on a shelf as an emergency spare... the new 310 is quiet and strong as expected...

Has anyone here had experience with the JE Adams Turbo Towel yet? I am getting ready to start adding air dryers to my bays, and am trying to decide between the Turbo Towel and Air Shammee. I saw the Turbo Towel at the Kleen Rite expo back in November but did not get a chance to talk with them...

That you all, I am going to offline that bay tonight and do a bit more troubleshooting. I've had a line of cars most of the day today so it hasn't been a good day to do anything with it. My wash was built in 1996, so if this is that old, it makes me wonder if it was a secondhand acquisition...

Crap, should have noted above - I checked that as well (changed the inlet hose to make sure it had not collapsed internally and checked the valve to it to make sure it is fully open - it is on a manifold with 4 other pumps feeding from the same source). No check valves on the water inlet with my...

I've got a mix of CAT 310, 310S and 1 31DS pumps in my wash, and I'm having a bit of a struggle with the 31DS. Before I throw in the towel and order a new 310 to replace it, I want to see if anyone has any thoughts. This particular pump pulsates and in general doesn't seem to be developing as...

Hasn't been my experience so far, but you do you... It clings and drags, which is what you would expect. Coming from the professional detail world it behaves very similar to other cannon applied soaps.

I've been having good luck with the Kleen Rite Summer Breeze (5 gallon, not the ultra concentrate one linked above) delivered through low pressure lines and a splatter gun. People seem to get a kick out of using the foam gun, the presoak seems to cut through a lot of our road grime and oil, and...

Has anyone had an issue with an LED7 losing programming out of random after a power cycle? I had to cut 24v power to one of my bays for a few minutes last night, and when it came back on - the LED7 is scrolling "Insert $.00 to start" and will not accept the remote passcode to sign in. Given...

Lewes, Delaware $4 for 5:20 cash to start Nayax readers at $5, $10, $15, $20 prepaid selections for 6:20, 12:40, 19 and 25 minutes. $15 and $20 are popular with RVs, Boats, larger trucks and the occasional tandem axle dump truck that comes on. Vacs are $1.25 for 6 minutes. The tunnels around...

Hello all. I am building out my 5 bay which was basically a shell and need a bit of advice. My setup: 5x Cat 310 pumps 3x wall mounted tanks (HP Soap, HP Wax, HP De-Salt (I'm 1 mile off the ocean and will offer year-round for boats + people who have been on the beach). RO will be delivered by...

After a long 9 month process, I have taken possession of and have started the process of reopening my 5 bay SS in the coastal Delaware area. Most of the equipment had been removed in preparation for repurposing of the wash when I took it over, and I am restoring what I can to open things up as...

You do understand that many/most new EVs can charge from 10 -> 80% in under an hour on a proper DC fast charger, right. We’re not talking about having residential level 1 chargers installed here…

Look into the Electrify America grants. I’m thinking about taking this up once I finally sign on the line for my car wash (taking forever). My plans are to have a fast charger, install an adjacent vacuum and standalone vending machine and crest a “tidy up as you charge” situation. There are...

I hope so. Trying to come at this in as much of an educated fashion as I can. My ultimate goal is to build out a couple of places and get out of my job in corporate America... leave the desk and engineering management for something that I can see the fruits of my labor and get my hands dirty...
