I guess I have been lucky and have not had anyone back up far enough for that. But occasionally there will be the non believer of the sign on the dryer timer post that says "do not back up." After doing so they freeze in amazement that the dryers turn off. Then the door shuts them in. That's...

After updating, I find that the bills dispensed numbers in the cash service function are wrong. I have let PDQ know about the issue and they did verify it. I was told by them that they would look into it. In the meantime I could close shift using the other option.

Winter is a great time of year in the Midwest for carwash owners. This is when all the prep in November pays off. I take many laps thru the mech. room checking gauges and listening for odd sounds during days we are slammed. You could yell at the top of your lungs and no one would hear. (done it)...

I planned on trying one of those wireless weather stations you can buy at the big box stores and putting the temp sensor in the coldest place in the through. Then you can set the readout in your wash office and easily monitor temps. Its probably the cheapest way to go. In my case I would use the...

I hardly ever get into the weep since I put the doors up on my M5s a few years ago. (if the floor heat is on, which I assume it will be) I set mine to 34 deg F. I do not use an outside temp probe. Just the in bay. As whitescout said, you may get into weep on really cold windy nights. I have...

Have you tried to run water thru it or maybe another chemical to see if it does the same thing? As rph9168 said you may have a thickening issue due to low temp or a bad batch of chemical.

I find that the speeds you are running are good because of the fact that the distance of "coast" you have is less after the motor stops than if you run the at the higher speeds. Which makes for a more consistent stopping point at the top and bottom. If you are having to speed up the door to make...

I have one on my vending machine and it's out in the open. Rain sleet and snow and still works perfectly. I also have no problem getting to talk to a human when I need help. I'm really happy with the first year of service it has given me.

I've been trying to decide whether or not to buy a Rhino Mat cleaner myself for a couple of years now. I've been to their booth at the ICA show and asked the owners standing around for feedback. Most all of them were Tunnel owners or dealerships that didn't charge for the service or it was used...

Yea! But remember, you need to be multi gender friendly. So you would need some Chippendales guys in there also. Added costs would be blindfolds for the kids. And those pesky mobs of protesters would need to be dealt with. A HP water cannon would be in order. They use a lot of water so reclaim...

You might have something there Robert. An idea to work on. Express hair cuts. How about a 30 ft. flat belt conveyor with 6 barber chairs bolted to it. Add some cologne and talcum powder arches at the end. Shampoo and blow dry for the top package. You could use a t shirt cannon to blast a hot...

Turbo, Yes it is if your going by the math. I was trying to see if that was in and out which would indeed be 20 CPH. But I have been told before that a machine will "wash" a car in 3 mins, but that didn't include entry services or dryer. There are a few variables that will change the CPH (on or...

Including dryer? 20 CPH?

If your having trouble changing these tires, invest in a go kart tire bead breaking tool. Makes the job a snap. The tubes seem to be my issue as far as longevity goes. I usually replace a couple tubes to one tire. Foam didn't help at all for me.

I had a small issue with the doors that face the wind. especially overnight when there was little use. I found that the motor covers trapped the cold air that blew in around the door roll and the motors were getting really cold. By pulling the covers the heat from the bay was able to minimize...

X2 on the Costco MF towels. Sell really well @ $2.25. Sell very few of the Magna Shine towels @$2.00 now. Way better margin on the Costco's :)

I have matched it up and its a #10 o-ring. I get them at Lowes. The water saver regulator bore will wear a lot faster because the plunger moves more due to lite spring tension. After 1 o-ring replacement, the bore is usually too worn to hold the #10 for any length of time. I go up to a...

This is the kit that goes in mine. https://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-18663-dema-solenoid-valve-repair-kit-61-78-for-model-443p.aspx kleenrite lists this as a repair kit for a 443. Mine are not 443's. Mine don't have any numbers stamped on it but it looks exactly like a 463 but with a different...

I have the Dema's on my M5's. I rebuild them. Easier and faster than replacing the complete assembly. Haven't replaced a valve (or coil) in 6 years. They work just fine.
