Is that only construction cost? What type of building is it? Does it include utility taps?

Everyday they show a chance of rain all the way through the extended forecast. I can't remember a summer this wet in many years.

That is normal. The hose shrinks, and worm gear clamps do not keep them tight because they do not have spring tension. I always have to tighten worm gear clamps several months later.

What pressure are you running those at?

We do not use them for low pressure. They have memory from the way they are packed in a coil but that goes away quickly in warm months using hot high pressure soap and wax. They do not kink later.

We have been using them for several years without any issues with weep freezing or bulging. They do have memory at first, and if you install them in the winter, they may take a while to straighten out. If they had stainless steel ends, they would be perfect.

We are using 23-year-old high pressure pump stands with very few issues. It sounds like your wash was not very well maintained. If you have to replace something that looks old on one bay and all the others look the same vintage, then replace all of them. Before long, you will forget about...

Also, I wouldn't wait 3-6 months for credit card acceptance. I would do it it 3-6 days.

It doesn't look terrible to me if you got a good price on it. Is this your first wash? If so, the learning curve will be steep without some outside help. We will help you though.

It has not been great here in Western Ohio either. Business has been hit or miss and when it hits, it doesn't hit very hard. 😁 The weather is like Roz said except add that the rain was also pretty bad in April. Is hard to tell how much our sales are affected because we just reopened in January...

That is true but it's still the closest thing that most people are accustomed to. I always add in that they need to push the button to stop.

Maybe it's a Goldline.

We had issues initially with some people backing out before they got to the treadle. We have modified the Floyd Bell voice, and that has pretty much eliminated that issue. We get new customers every day, and 90% navigate it good enough to get a good wash. The next time they go through, 99% get...

They look like they have a really small nozzle compared to the Air Logic. The first Air Logic gun we bought was awesome, but then we bought three more, and they had the truck bedliner sprayed on them inconsistently. The coating inside the hole was thicker on one side, and overall, the hole was...

Overall yes. I think they are well-built and easy to work on. There are a lot of bearings to grease (36). It cleans really well, even though it has mitters instead of the top brush. One thing that I think needs to be changed is being able to adjust the arm air pressures for both forward and...
