Did you ever figure it out? I had similar problem. Turns out there were a handful of things: unloader discharge was going back to tank, which increased the suction flow a lot and made the pump cavitate. The suction hose would have been ok for the normal flow, but the extra from from unloader was...

out of curiosity, are you related to Chris Berg, the carwashguy from Twitter/X? I follow him there and your comments here, just thought of asking.

I had all the finances from the owner and I did a basic underwriting to see if it would cover the loan properly. Once that hurdle was over (with a nice margin) I did a very rough discounted cash flow for the business and compared to the multipliers. All numbers looked pretty good, despite the...

Any particular kind you recommend? I see a ton of cheap ones on Amazon. I'm always afraid to trust them and then they fail and I might find out too late..

Had this issue the other day. The springs in the unloader (paraplate) were badly rusted, and the walls inside the unloader itself (where the o-ring seals) were very dirty. These unloaders had been in service for a while, since before I purchased the wash, and I don't know how well they were...

Mine was a mix of using our 401K for down payment (ROBS) and SBA 504. The bank picked up 50%, SBA 30% and we put 20% down. We also had a 7(a) approved for repairs and upgrades, but turned out that we were able to cash flow everything the first year. We purchased the land with the business, it's...

We drain the water every other day. Do you all think it would be worth it to get a UT sensor from Amazon to monitor the wall thickness? I guess the compressor tank would be the only application, but for the damage in those videos, it might be worth it. Ours is well cared for (amsoil synthetic...

Nice. Hoping to get mine like that very soon.

No kidding. And they have started 😅. My second hand Coleman Hannah skid just fell thru.. If anyone has one for sale, I'm back in the market for one..

We are bringing this place back to life. It has been idle for several years, and previous operator really didn't treat it well. They left the drains back up and a ton of sand had to be shoveled out from inside the pump room. I don't think this softener was working at all (no brine tank was...

I found it finally.. the lower turck sensor had some issue. It would come on and stay on until a power off cycle. I went to check the trucks on the boom counter per your suggestion and noticed this bottom turck was on when the boom was all the way up.. It didn't have any signs of damage and it...

Hello all, I've been operating my wash for just about a year now, and I feel that I have replaced virtually everything single piece of equipment in this machine. Usually the problems are fairly straightforward, but this one has stomped me. The machine starts the wash normally, undercarriage...

We just installed a LM18 vendor purchased thru Kleen-rite. I wish I had noticed earlier but his machine has several security and mechanical flaws. It is fairly easy to reach inside (reach the bottom drawer) from the product flap outside. The little tab on the theft deterrent flap can also...

Just as my personal experience: I purchased a Nayax VPOS to try out in March 2023. It looks cool, had the touchscreen, different payment methods (count up, count down, fixed values) and between paying for a cryptopay swiper + touch device (almost $700 per paystation, which adds up quickly withb...

I am joining the chorus of a poor experience with Nayax. Purchased on right after the SWCA this year, in early March. Spent a month trying to get a my account activated. Was about to return the unit when finally got the email. My first login to their "backend" website was like "Holy ****"...
