    Hard Winter. Repairing Asphalt and/or concrete

    Around here the city fixes pot holes by cutting a square out of the bad pavement area, then fills it with granular and then paving stones. So if the problem reoccurs, they just remove the stones, more granular and replace the stones. This helps in the winter here when the paving plants are closed.

    PDQ M5: why do they program it this way?

    Looked at my settings and there are no clockwise rotation settings except for the initial offset. I suspect the machine is confused about where it is and believes its at the back. Anyway, if it's starting from the front in a clockwise rotation...something is messed up and not a programming...

    PDQ M5: why do they program it this way?

    I concur what Koliver says. The reason to go counterclockwise is that you are pulling the boom around and not pushing it.

    Topaz Valve problem

    No...it was just leaking no matter what, so a new diaphragm was needed. They all leaked before I installed a pressure reducing valve.

    Topaz Valve problem

    You can extend the float arm out some that will provide more pressure on the diaphragm. But what I have found with them is that they will overflow if water pressure is above 55lbs (our city water pressure is at about 85lbs). They are rated to 120lbs I believe, but I have yet to see one that...

    Good Drying Agents for Touchless

    All, I have been using Simoniz Super Dri with mixed results. It is the cheapest that KR sells. Can anyone suggest a better product that is available at KR as I buy all my stuff there. Thanks in advance!

    Here we go again. More frigid weather in the NE.

    Friday was a big day here too...and Saturday was off to a great start...till the snow came, then a little rain and lightning. We woke up to snow in the form of cement. Lots more snow coming this week.

    Turning New Customers Into Repeat Customers

    The sierra controller along with a unitec entry system, like a Wash Select II would allow you to have a loyalty program such as "every 10th wash is free). The system would use a magnetic stripe card and the customer would swipe the card before every wash selection. it doesn't do anything but...

    What is this solenoid for?

    Not sure if I'm looking at the right one...but it looks like it was added after for the LP manifold. I don't see why you would need it. I have a Laser M5 which is very similar and I don't have it. BTW, in the future, circle the part in Microsoft paint or something and show the picture in the...

    Here we go again. More frigid weather in the NE.

    We'll I'm about 1hr away from Watertown NY. Nov and Jan have been very slow. Usually snow and ice are good for business up here, but so far the winter has been relentless. In order for us to capitalize on the weather, we need 'weather breaks', where the sun shines, its not so cold, streets...

    Wash For Sale, Effectiveness of Ad in Car Wash Magazine

    cfcw...agreed. I remember looking for a particular boat a while back. Drove all over hells half-acre trying to find one. Then I visited the marina closest to me, he had one he was keeping for himself (so not advertised), but was ok with selling it.

    Phone Systems

    Certainly prices and services change constantly. What I like about ringcentral (or any virtual PBX) is the flexibility.
