Have any of the electronics out of a water wizard 2 gantry you want. ROC16s, ROC8s, motor drivers, etc.... This gantry had less than 10k washes on it when it was taken out of service. Make a reasonable offer, shipping out of Oklahoma.

About 90,000 washes but was working fine upon taking it out of service. I have the motor with it, $500 for the pump and $300 for the motor. You provide the shipping, I am in Shawnee, Oklahoma.

Like the speed, but why does the top brush spin for no reason? Don't like sloppy engineering. Seems like a lot of the IBA machines have some of that going on lately. Wears out equipment faster, requires more maintenance touches. Thanks

I have instructed my employees to explain "we appreciate that they like our wash, but we would like them to take their business elsewhere, thank you."

One other thing no one has mentioned yet. You will not be open 24/7 in KC area with manual doors on your automatics. Anything less than about 25 degrees shuts my doors in OK on newer/freeze protected automatics and then have to reopen them when it gets above that. Not usually a problem (5 to...

Anyone else running into a problem with these? I have have two (one a high end truck and one a yukon) go through my autec and then get claimed the mirrors were damaged. Looks like they can't stand to have any pressure put on them or strip the gears. Anyone else seeing this or have thoughts on...

I count all cash coming into SS bays, vacs, vending and automatics as sales. I count only the token changer bills as sales (don't count tokens in the bay as sales only what I sale out of changer) I use an excel spreadsheet for all of this daily or tri-weekly and Quickbooks just to input total...

I was using 2507 then switched to 2505s and haven't heard any complaints, running at 1100psi, can anyone tell me what the difference in MEG vs iMEG vs other tips? thx

I used a 199k btu and for 2 bays 18x30 it seems to do the job. I didn't scientifically size it but I like Keith's numbers approach. I am in a bit more of a temperate climate.

MEP - I agree for a "replacement" T8s are very attractive and the cost is right but eventually they will go the way of MH and you still deal with ongoing maintenance costs which no one ever figures in. The LEDs I went with have a 5 year warranty and a 60k to 100k life expectancy. If you factor...

Yes, it depends on the time you burn them and rebates certainly help. Also if you look at the burning rate of scottsdales 320 (which is what I replaced) you will find that it burns about 460W with bulb and ballast and that degradates over time from a lumens and wattage perspective. So your...

This is still too much of an emotional decision on this board. Did the payback. LEDs are way to go with a 3 year payback for me from a replacement perspective, putting in new there is no doubt, 40%ish or less of electric for the same lumen output depending on which manufacturer you go with...

revenue up 15% costs up 17% Sheesh :)

I just put in a Navien house unit for 2 bays and only problem I see with it is that lowest value I can set it to is 90 degrees, would really like to be able to heat to only around 60 but it is doing the job just fine.

So how do I check into that? The state would let me know if the underwriter's were "licensed"?
