IDX has a wireless system. Looked at it at the ICA show. Give Mike Oliver a call. You can choose your merchant provider.

Slash, let us know how it goes. I have rust build up as well. Might just purchase some if you like what you see.

We started installing Champion air compressors 7 years ago and have had great luck. Either the Centurion or Advantage series would be an excellent choice. The Advantage series comes with an automatic drain, on-board air cooler, and low oil alert. Look for a 7.5 HP with either an 80 or 120 gallon...

Most Hydrominders come standard with the 1/2". You can replace with 1/2" with no worries. Tip colors are the same ratio with both sizes.

What kind of ratio are you getting with the Super Kleen and TM057 after you premix(24:1,36:1etc)?

Belanger Kondor or a Saber with no on-board dryer would fit.

This should be the pump. Click on this link. http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/wwg/search.shtml?searchQuery=11W067&op=search&Ntt=11W067&N=0&GlobalSearch=true&sst=subset

I think the cost of converting a bay is offering operators many challenges. To take an existing bay and add a trench with proper drainage can cost some serious money not to mention if your existing electrical is not enough. Converting from an in-bay to a mini-tunnel better really pencil out for...

Here are the requirements: Self-serve & In-bay automatics recylcle their spot free waste water into their rinse water. Tunnels have some form of reclaim system. Cost is $49 per location(up to 5 locations) $250 for 6+ locations

Eric from the ICA spoke with everyone at the SECWA road show in Memphis about the program. They are trying to get as many as they can to join WaterSavers so they can use it to show government, state, and city leaders that carwashes are not the water hogs that we are portrayed as. We all know, as...

I work for a chemical company not affiliated with KR. We use the same Ropak U5 lid. We use the above tool on our pails in house when we need to remove a lid. It works much better because it's longer and has a bar to leverage against the top of the lid. It takes us maybe 15-20 seconds to remove a...

Here ya go. Check out the 21" aluminum lid remover. Just insert pull and keep moving it over until the lid pops off. http://www.labsafety.com/store/item/5646/

The Ropak lid is a great lid. My company uses them because they are the best for staying sealed. We tried switching to a different lid and our damage claims shot up. I think most would rather have their chemical arrive in one piece then an easy lid to remove. I didn't look at the picture of...

You can now get the Air Blade as a freestanding model for in-bay automatics or tunnels. My interest is in the freestanding model instead of the one on-board the Freestyler.

Just wondering if anyone has installed the new Air Blade dryer system in tunnel or automatic. What kind of results are you seeing?? Is it better performance than traditional blowers??
