I haven't done business with either company, but rarely is it good for the current customer base when a successful small business is acquired by a large corporate company. Many good brands, in and out of the car wash sector, have been ruined and/or killed with this type of acquisition.

Yes, laurel makes some nice ones for nayax and cryptopay, check out kleenrite. There are cheaper options as well

flojets work well for FB and basically every thing in a self serve system.

I take their money and keep washing cars. They are coming to a car wash to wash their car or truck. Some people will leave a small or no mess and some people will leave a bigger mess. It usually evens out. Is it ideal to have to clean up a huge mess? No, but it is part of the car washing...

Without looking up prices, that's probably in the ballpark, but that would still be cheaper than getting 3 phase for the whole wash, which you said is a no go anyways. Maybe do them 1 at a time as the single phase motors die

Other option if you want a 3 phase motor is to add a vfd/inverter and swap single phase motors for 3 phase

mcmaster carr will carry all kinds of this rubber washers and orings

can't answer your question, but you should consider an automatic backup internet connection if your main one is going down regularly. A backup connection is cheap insurance and would probably be paid for by the $ you would normally lose by approving transactions that should be declined currently.

How is your foam brush liquid pumped out? What kind of pump are you using? This item is most likely controlling the pump, so whenever any bay is using foam brush, the pump will turn on.

Is that just a multiplexer to control a pump or solenoid for FB flojet? IDX has a replacement that would work if so.

You're going to need a good amount of business volume to get any decent ROI on the capital expense this project would probably require.

Probably just a bad gauge, they are cheap on Amazon and easy to replace
