    Thieves Cut wires on SS stand

    That's going to be quite a task if you don't have control wiring experience, it can be done though. Will take patience and a good understanding of how to use a multimeter I would break it down into parts, ie get the power working to timer and coin acceptor and make sure those are working as...

    Building a new carwash

    I wish, I know a county around here charges $2500 per water hookup - laundromats have to pay $2500 per washer they install when new.

    Sewer tap fee was $150k alone for a new tunnel build near me 2 years ago

    PRICE TO START. Advice needed please

    $1 increments are the way to go, have to train customers to that. An updated, well run wash shouldn’t be dealing in 25 cent increments in this day and age. We are working to that goal and hopefully will eliminate quarter acceptance in our bays and vacs before the end of this year. Don’t want to...

    NAYAX IS ABSOLUTE TRASH

    We have had advanced replacement in the past as well, but I still wouldn't be without spares, we have about 35 in service and they are important to our daily business. I have had multiple issues with a specific support guy there and have basically just hung up and tried again to get another...

    Mosmatic Comfort Hose

    We switched to 1/4 hp hoses in all our bays, easy to use and can’t notice a difference in flow or pressure

    Swivel name brand?

    Any HP swivel would work, that looks like an SMC ball bearing swivel. They are nice.

    Wash select II locks up?

    If I remember correctly, some of those deoxit products need to be washed away and cleaned after use, forgot which ones though

    Arimitsu 516 chatter

    Wonder if you have a very small air leak and/or restriction in your intake plumbing that shows itself as a problem after some use time? My thoughts just based on pressure water from a garden hose curing the issue.

    Stainless Steel Mixing Tanks / Alternative

    Very nice and creative. I’ve seen tunnels with 5 gallon buckets hung on hooks on the wall with hydrominders in them. Talk about a cheap/free solution and probably would last years, if not decades. Don’t know when or why these high $$$ custom tanks became the norm or even necessary.

    Sizing of water heater

    Lot of operators switching to tankless for heating their water for the wash, there are a lot of threads on this subject and a very long and thorough one on the experiences of a few operators, probably worth you checking that out. If I recall correctly, there was a massive savings on gas by...

    Whats the best new self serve equipment to install?

    While I agree with Randy and Earl, and that's they way we have done it, fix the existing equipment. I can see the case for replacing it also. If the existing equipment is totally shot or hacked up beyond recognition, and you have to hire out all the repairs to a tech, it could be worth it to...

    Whats the best new self serve equipment to install?

    We have a 20 year old mark 7 stand, it's built well, don't know any their new stuff, but mark 7 builds really good equipment overall in our experience.
