    I actually have the Rowe working now. It just needed new LED lights on the coin detectors. Actually just one was out but I replaced them both. If you want to buy it in working condition send me a message.

    First time investor looking to get into the business is this wash a good investment?(pics in post)

    If you get it at a discount theres almost always an opportunity. First discount I am asking for is for the electrical work because it looks like some crack heads stripped your wire out of there.

    Flojet Pump Silicone Application

    Your blue hoses run product and your white hoses run air. Find a place (regulator or shutoff valve) to turn air off to the bays and then run your tire shine and see if its pulsing without the air. If it is then your issue is on the pump side if it is not pulsing you should build up a foam...

    Banker says "We can only loan on...

    Your bank wouldnt know how to run your business if they had to take it back so to them its not valuable doesnt mean someone else wont see it as valuable. Credit Unions seem to have a higher propensity to underwrite loans based on potential and look at the big picture.

    How to Improve Triple Foam Delivery

    Thank you all for the feedback on the system. It sounds like the common denominator is try different tip sizes. I am currently on a 5040 tip and like you mentioned @cantbreak80 It hits the protector and drips off the gun. Also appreciate the history lesson on Southern Pride. The build on it...

    How to Improve Triple Foam Delivery

    The video I made of this is kind of long because i included the entire installation and etc. so you can kind of skip to the end of the video. Ultimately I am looking for any additional tips on how I can make this Triple Foam the most satisfying car wash experience out there. I have already...

    Low pressure in bay from a cat 310 pump

    I have this same issue did you try a different tip like MEP mentioned? I moved the pump to a different bay and it followed the pump which makes me think its something on the pump. Mine drops to 800 PSI just like your saying.

    Wiring Help on Triple Foam Unit

    Im looking for some more advice on this triple foam unit that I also have pictures of above. I finally got everything hooked up and turned it on but the pump wasnt pulling anything and when I pulled off the hoses for the supply side there was barely a trickle of chemical. I took off the 3...

    Foam Brush

    Although quarterly may be the minimum I would think daily is excessive on the other hand. I dont anticipate my water softener to completely fail overnight. A water softener may become less effective over time and the hardness of the water should be monitored but I use other indicators as well to...

    Foam Brush

    Try increasing air first. If you can get the consistency there then you may be dilluting your foam brush chemical too much. Increase your tip size a couple notches in that case. Last thing to look into is that your water softener is working properly this is a good thing to test once a quarter...

    How do you organize your hoses?

    I am wondering what other operators do to maintain your plumbings and hoses in a somewhat organized and aesthetically pleasing way. I am somewhat meticulate on how things are run so that its easy to follow and diagnose down the road. I am adding a triple foam unit to this setup and I need more...

    I love new stuff too! New meterbox doors with Nayax

    Looking forward to hear how adding those readers changes your revenue. My car wash was not operating when I took it over so I had no previous data but I can tell you now that 70-80% of our sales is through credit card.
