    Triple Foam Help

    This will be the quickest and easiest way to see if it is a chemical dilution issue or another issue. Try this before messing with your tips. What chemical are you using?

    Nayax MDB to Pulse Isolator

    Does this allow count up? Looks like a relay to get from nayax pulse to any timer in count down mode. It's not converting mdb to pulse

    Mark VII AquaJet GT500

    Mark 7 cleans way better than a laserwash. How many washes on your machine? Mark 7s are built like tanks, they will last with a little maintenance. Some parts for those machines are getting hard to find new, but mainly everything is still available on the secondary market

    Mark VII AquaJet GT500

    Where are you located? We did similar to a gto300 a few years back, there are positives and negatives to doing such a project. As waxman said, a new iba will run you north of $200k, so it's important to know if your site will be able to earn a decent roi on that type of investment

    Are all 3 solenoids clear and allowing flow? Are all 3 hydrominders working properly and mixing chemical concentrations? Loose hoses or connections before flojet allowing air to get sucked in?

    Soda Sales

    We don't vend drinks, but if I was out in the heat washing my car, I would be looking for water or gatorade. My 2 cents

    Environmental Inspection Scam - GRS Group

    Careful with phase 2 studies, if anything is found, they are required to report, and you maybe required to fix at that point. It's a a once you know it has to be fixed situation, don't know and it can lay as is.

    Long Bay Petit

    Issue will present itself when people take too long at the vacs, so all vacs will be full and people wanting to vac will wait in your exit lane and block all traffic coming out of the washes. Size of the vac spaces doesn't matter, it's the location primarily and the few available vacs secondary...

    Need all new equipment, everything !! Bought a closed down car wash in Pasadena, Texas

    This is more solid proof than numbers than can be made up out of thin air - another layer to prove numbers. Even this can be manipulated, but it is more solid than just financials. It all depends on end goals of each operator.

    Long Bay Petit

    This is going to be a guaranteed occurrence regularly. Vacuumers won't care they are blocking the exit to keep your washes flowing, they will block in a heart beat to get their vacuuming done.

    No presoak in any of the bays

    Are you saying your HP pump turns on to push the presoak out to the bay? Do you have 24vac at the meter box when calling for presoak? You need to figure out where you are losing 24vac. Probably going to be a multiplexer or similar like Randy said earlier.

    American Changer Hopper

    On another note, is that hopper working? Your belt looks to be upside down, I think the teeth have to go down, I could be remembering wrong though.

    American Changer Hopper

    Are they pulse or cctalk? Brand new pulse hoppers are like $100 from suzohapp, not worth repairing. Cctalk sometimes worth repair, parts are way too expensive though

    Management software

    what are you wanting to do with the software? I would guess 99% of self serves don't have a dedicated management software. we use excel and google sheets, its pretty basic stuff

    Cat 530 Vibration

    Try hooking a bay hose and gun directly to pump to see if you still have a vibration. This was something I learned from mep on this forum. Quick diagnostic that will help pinpoint your issue
