Depending on what you have for a drive, there should be digital inputs that you can program for different speeds. For instance, Digital input 1 (DI-1) would be start forward, DI-2, would be programmed for 60 hz (full speed), DI-2 programmed for 45 hz (75%). Make input common to DI-1 to enable...

I refunded a customer yesterday. First one since I've installed the CC reader about a year ago. They called and said the stop button wasn't working. Went up to the wash and tried my own card. Same thing happened to me, stop button wouldn't work. I have an IDX meter box with a Nayax reader...

My have my ss wash set up so that a relay changes the rinse from cold to hot water rinse. The relay coil is wired in with the weep solenoid. When it it cold enough to weep, it is cold enough to hot water rinse. Did this a while back. Very good response from customers. Multiple customers...

http://www.tapcoinc.com/ My dad works for a Soybean Processing Plant and i know when i was a kid in our garage we had a bunch of old grain elevator cups screwed to the wall for bolt storage bins. The website above is a company that manufactures these. I don't know that they have any interest...

You said anyone but KR. They are a different vendor. No one originally mentioned how much they would be willing to pay.

Hello All, Have been in the carwash business a little over a year and a half and up until now i have been doing my books via an excel spreadsheet. I was curious what anyone else uses for doing the books. I have a single SS in a small town so there are no employees or anything crazy. Just...

Waxman, My skin is not too thin. I apologize for the previous reply. It is hard to tell in such a short post if there is a negative connotation or if you're simply short on time. I am trying to add revenue enhancing features, SFR and presoak. I think those would be my best options for my...

Mike, I did a quick search on the web for a Endress-Hauser pressure transmitter that is rated to 1500 psi. Looks like the price is about $300. I have used Endress-Hauser stuff before. It is good stuff. I haven't really searched for any other stuff. Could probably find cheaper, but it looks...

I had another gentleman tell me that I probably do not want to run RO water thru my 310 because he has heard of issues where the RO water will eat away at the metal in the pump. I don't know if this is true or not. I guess at this point I'm debating whether i should set up a second pressure...

Thanks Mep001, Ken-Pro, and Sparkey. I appreciate the reference to the Dema 453P. I could not find such a valve just doing a little seaching. I guess I'm impressed that you guys are willing to have an adult conversation about how to solve a problem, what alternatives there are, and are...

Thanks for the replys guys, Hopefully some of the members here that have this operating in their own setup will chime in. I did call Cat Pumps today to ask them about it. The guy in their technical support department that i talked to said that putting a VFD on the motor and slowing the pump...

Hello All, About 7 months ago I bought my first carwash. Is is just a single bay SS. I have a Cat 310 pump for my wash, wax, and rinse. There are currently no low pressure functions. I only have Rinse, Wash, Wax, and Foam Brush. I would like to add SFR and a Pre-soak. I have a D&S 600 GPD...

Does anyone here use or have used any of the car wash offerings from a company by the name of Renegade Chemicals? I have a local distributor that sells their product that is trying to get me to buy my chemicals thru him. He gave me a couple of gallons of the Squadron HP soap to try. It seems...

I see your point. I didn't see it like that because I'm not the criminal type. With that being said. I think I'm going to look into a meter box that takes paper money and coins. Does anyone have any recommendation on where to purchase such a meter box, or recommendations on which coin...
