    Soap mix ratio and classes

    Your chemical rep should set you up with the proper dilution tips. No one here can tell you how many cars on a gallon of soap; as all products are different. Your product label should give you a final dilution rate, to which you will have to check your particular injector(s) and meter accordingly.

    High Pressure soap getting Diluted

    Or the hydrominder is not consistently drawing as it should. Or there could be fluctuating water pressure at times.

    Razor not Measuring Cars Going all the way to the back

    So you are saying on a new WW machine you have this issue? Someone would be getting an a$$ chewing. That is ridiculous!

    Changing over to tokens?

    Geeez--these token threads kill me. I will put it simple terms. I replenished 40000 tokens this past year at my 5 washes. I use high security from Osbourne. I pay 21 cents per token= $8400. I received $40,000 for selling those tokens. That is a $31,600 profit that supports all repairs on my...

    IDX MA 800 Issues

    For what it is worth, I had those on 8 vacs at a wash I bought. They were nothing but problems. I trashed them all and put in slugbuster IIs, like I have everywhere else. They cause little headache.

    Vilco Supply

    I did one pump head with them. It never worked properly; ended up trashing it. I always use Kleen-Rite now. No issues whatsoever.

    KLEEN RITE SLOW SERVICE

    Been using KR for 27 years. I can count on one hand the amount of times I have had an issue. And those issues have always been resolved in a quick manor. I order a pallet of soap about every other week with all my vending crap on top---with free shipping including a lift gate. Now with the...

    The Owners of the Older Ginsan Self Serve Equipment

    Yea, I got tired of those. So I drill them out; thus no check valve. I installed ball valves on each air line to the flo jets.

    Trash cans are gone

    My results from the trash can pull since March 12th: Great move! The first couple of weeks, there was a bit more on the ground but overall the place looked better because there was not crap overflowing out the tops of all the cans. The ground litter has decreased significantly over the past 4...

    Caught on Camera. Why it’s good to have quality cameras.

    Your thread title is correct---that camera is fantastic. What make/model are you using?

    Cat 623....fix or pitch?

    Come on Randy...I have eight 623s that are from 1974. Yep 47 years old and they still are working great. Never had to replace any back of the pump components though. So I would agree, let 'er go.

    Do you have flood insurance on your wash?

    This is a government mandated requirement. If you have a mortgage with a bank on a property in a flood zone, you must have it. We had a property in this situation--found out one day before settlement it was in a flood zone. A few years ago, we were able to refinance another location and draw...

    Tokens

    I just ordered 27,000 of the high security token I use from them last month. Had order in 10 days. Which metal/alloy are you using?

    Batch errors

    I had a long talk with Mark @ Hamilton today. Of course he says the dial up will be going the way of the dinosaur soon. He said sometime in the future they will no longer support it. I like dial up. No one can hack into it. And it only takes about 12-15 seconds to process, so to me it is fine...

    Batch errors

    Is anyone having batch errors on their paystations in the past few weeks/months? I have been getting character mismatch errors quite frequently across different locations with American Changer and Hamilton machines. Hamilton is able to find the bad card data and delete it to move the batch to...

    Will KR give you any sample Tokens?

    Make sure you are getting a high security token with a protected radius to all your washes. Osbourne gives you 100 mile area protected. I just ordered 27k and they were $.21/each.
