    Stuttering Presure?

    If those pumps are fed from a common storage tank, look at how the water is being fed to the tank. It could be that the incoming water pressure is forcing air pockets in the tank and then to the pumps. Put a 45 at the water inlet to redirect the water away from the feed lines.

    Sharia Law info, just in case you had some doubts

    How many is enough. In a discussion with a relative...a flaming liberal, he asked me what I thought about 9/11. I told him , thank God Bush is the president, If I were president, the entire middle east would be glass by now. He was astonished and asked me if I would kill that many people in...

    Interesting Consumer Resource?

    It should also suggest that the car owner inspect his/her vehicle prior to entering the car wash. How many times does the car owner find damage after the wash and try to blame it on the car wash when the damage was there long before they got to the car wash.

    Sharia Law info, just in case you had some doubts

    It is a known fact that Muslims want to take over the whole planet and subject everyone to Sharia law. As for the so-called peaceful Muslims, you can bet your sweet ass that if the radicals were to blow up America, or enact Sharia law, they would rejoice in the streets, just like they did when...

    Best way to move an automatic car wash?

    I recently moved one ( a Futura touchless)from Belton, MO to Maxwell, Iowa. We loaded it to the new owners 20' flat trailer towed by his pickup. No problems. It all fit on the trailer and a lot cheaper than hiring a transport company.

    Middle eastern operators

    Thank God I will be retiring next year, but as far as dealing with mid-easterners, When they call for a quote or service or to buy equipment, I highball the price by at least 10%, stand firm on the price and if they but it, fine, if not...no problem, I won't have to deal with the hassles. Even...

    Two sided card reader from Unitec

    I recently upgraded my card reader from the old style backwards card reader to the new two sided card reader from Unitec. The changeover was easy and only took a few minutes. Had to change out the CPU board (mother board) and drill out the holes a little bigger, but all in all it was very easy...

    I thought I had seen it all...

    But this is a new one. A guy comes into my car wash and walks straddle legged to the meter box and deposits his money. Then he proceeds to wash his shorts. It appears that he has dumped a load in his shorts...maybe diarrhea???. Anyway he has brown stuff all down his shorts and legs. Now I can...

    What's the effect to changing Start Up Price?

    I wish I could get $2.00 for 3-4 minutes. I recently raised my price from $1.00/4 min to $1.25 for 4 min. It is the going rate around here. Only a few comments from customers about the increase, but when I explain that the cost of utilities was killing me they seem to understand. Utilities just...

    D&S i5000 Report and a Question

    I don't understand why manufacturers don't program automatic resets. When a customer buys a wash at my car wash and they don't make it to the treadle in time (3 minutes) the wash cancels their wash and is automatically ready for the next car. If they start the wash and move off the treadle, it...

    Are we naive or what?

    This whole topic makes my blood boil. If they ( the muslims) are so bent on bridging the gaps of civility between us and them, why are they so intent on building their mosque there instead of somewhere else. They could accomplish the same thing with their mosque anywhere...but there??? Now they...

    Futura millenium faulting out

    Usually when you get the nf. instead of the --. it means that you are not getting communication between the controller and the modem. Have you checked the modem? Also, have you changed any modules recently? If you have then there is a possibility that the modules are not properly connected, or...

    Futura Millenium

    No Washman, that is not normal. My Millennium has over 150k washes on it and has not missed a beat. I'm not sure what to tell you about your problem as it not one that I have ever encountered in my 25 plus years in working with Futuras. Your pressure gauge should read 0 (zero) when it is not...
