Ok, I increased the inlet temp from 60 to 70 degrees and the condensation went away, however, now my bays are running between 45 - 50 degrees on the floor with a outside temp of 19 degrees. I need to get this boiler turned down without the condensation. How many feet from the boiler should the...

When I bought my carwash two years ago, the inlet outlet temp settings have been 110 degrees F for the outlet temp and 90 degrees F for the inlet temp. This year, in an attempt to get the temp down to a setting just high enough to keep all the bay floors from freezing, I turned down the temp...

My floor heat boiler runs when the outside temp is at 32 degrees F. It has a inlet temp gauge set at 80 F and a outlet temp gauge set at 110 F. This was the settings when I bought the place. I think the inlet/outlet temp settings are way too high but I am not an expert. Any way to find out what...

My foam brush puts out foam with the viscosity of shaving cream. I have used other washes in the area that pour out the suds from the foam brush at a high rate with a lot of water more like foamy water to me. To a customer, which method would be best? Thanks!

It all started last March 2007. I purchased a new CAT 5CP2120W pump to replace an older one in one of my least-used bays. I installed it and set the pressure at 1500 PSI. I noticed the pressure at the spray gun was significantly less. I would estimate it at 900 – 1000 PSI. I cranked the pressure...

If you have some networking knowledge, Washgear will be your best bet. You just supply a PC (it doesn't have to be very fast) and the network components and your up running. They just released new software that provides card pre-authorizations so that is good. I've had mine for a year. I could...

blurdgman has a great idea. Decrease the start-up time only for credit card use. That way I can still advertise the price decrease and not go through the hassle of setting each individual timer. I can just set the minimums in the software for the CC and that's it. I would really like to increase...

I'm going to try it for two months and see what happens. I have a mix of timers so It's going to be a pain to set them all to $1.50. I wonder if I should keep the credit cards at $2.00 though.

Currently I'm at $2 for 4 minutes, but I would like to keep business consistent and perhaps pull in some more customers during the slow summer season so I'm thinking of reducing my minimum start from $2 to $1.50. I've talked to some people in the business and they have said you don't know if it...

Changer 'out of service' automation I put together a device that attaches to my USB port on the PC and along with the interface I developed, I'm able to have emails and text messages sent when the changer 'out of service' light turns on. I have two changers hooked up to this and it has worked...

I just finished my prototype notification device. What it does is detect when my changer is down (the out-of-service light illuminates). Then the software I wrote takes the signal and sends emails to any valid email address and also sends a text message to my cell phone letting me know I have a...

Check one thing... I had the exact thing happen...Exactly... and all it was was a worn spray nozzle. Just replace yours with a new one and see what happens.

I had to replace a hose on the system so the pressure was at zero until I got it replaced. I had to refill the 5 gal hoding tank for the solution. When I filled it up, the hydrominder didn't pull product in for about 15 seconds so I believe I'm a little light on the foam solution. Would the...

I have a guy coming out to my 7-bay SS wash to take thermal imaging pics of the floor heat. He says he'll be able to find all the leaks within a pencil width of their source. Seems to accurate to be true, but I already found two of the five leaks myself between the front skirt cement area and...

This wash was built in 1979 so it is almost 30 years old. The floor heat was added after the place was built by adding the plastic piping and three inches of concrete to the floor. The previous owner did disclose that a couple lines were turned off but it didn't cause much trouble. He said he...

My floor heat sucks. I have had my 7-bay wash for over a year now and I?m into my second winter. There are 18 lines running into the floor heat manifold and 18 lines running out. When I got it there were four lines (2 in, 2 out) completely disconnected from the manifold and four others (2 in, 2...
