    Washworld Razor

    I'm sure WW had you check it already but If you tilt the arm out how far does it need to go before the yellow light on the sensor turns on? When this happened to me the error only triggered when the HP rinse turned on cuz it was kicking the arm out far enough to throw the error and I just had...

    Rewiring RO Machine

    It looks like I might have gotten lucky, it already seems to have a pressure switch on it on the water supply in. Hopefully I'll have some time tomorrow to get this thing up and running again.

    Rewiring RO Machine

    Thanks @MEP001. I guess I'm a little slow when it comes to this stuff but i'm sure it'll make sense next time I get over there and take a look at the machine. I didn't realize RO machine's had a solenoid! lol.

    Rewiring RO Machine

    Hey guys, Anyone have any idea on how I can rewire my RO machine to bypass the circuit boards and just have it turn on/off when the float switch says to? The circuit boards got hit by a hose leak and burnt up. I don't care about the TDS meter / toggle switch features it had on it but I'm...

    Polymer Presoaks

    I'm still using it but since I have so little experience with other presoaks I have a hard time giving a credible review. It's working better and is cheaper than what I had before (some sort of turtlewax presoak Low/High). I've never had a complaint about it not doing anything at all like...

    How to get rid of bad online reviews

    I just want to know what happens when you do it with a burner visa gift card. If you have $3 left on your gift card, you request the $10. I imagined it would let me into the car wash and decline the charge, they wouldn't be able to collect any overdraft fees.

    People pulling out fragrance machine hose

    Thanks guys, I guess I'll give @JCM method of modifying the hose a try. The hose they sent me barely would make it to the top of the nut with how little rubber has been removed from that hose.

    People pulling out fragrance machine hose

    The method of securing the hose to the machine that the previous owner of my car wash used doesn't work very well and hose is continually getting pulled out of the fragrance machine, making it harder to get back in the next time around and sometimes kinking the little 1/8 tubes. I asked...

    SS Bay Lights - Again

    @JMMUSTANG are you mounting those in the center of the bay across the entire length or side by side?

    MiFi Internet

    Do you need to use the Comcast modem? Usually you can provide your own and reduce your bill by not renting from them. I had a lot of issues with their equipment but once I bought my own it's been bulletproof.

    Might be worth shooting pgrzes a PM, he owns a sealcoating business.

    icoin acceptor

    I use magikist icoins in a few bays / vacs. They have been super reliable and never get jammed but like Bob Koo mentioned, when the customer rockets the quarter into the machine it will reject it. I haven't posted signs but I've had to tell a number of customers to gently drop them in.

    Anyone taking advantage of the coin shortage to raise prices?

    As a precaution I took out $1k in quarters today.. I never have quarters to bring to the bank. I recycle them until there isn't enough to recycle and then I take out more. The bank told me the coin shortage is real, the first branch I tried didn't have any quarters left. The next one wouldn't...

    Insurance

    McNeil is also who dropped me :)

    Insurance

    If you find anything let me know. I had 3 claims from a string of vandalism and got canceled. I'm also paying the triple rate price at the moment. Was told I'd need to wait another year or two without any claims before I'll be back to something affordable.

    Small business loan

    40k, I didn't specify an amount when filling out the application as it wasn't a required field and I wasn't sure how this whole thing would pan out. So I guess that's the amount they felt was good for me.

    Small business loan

    The "Advance" was $1,000 per employee up to $10k... I answered 0 employees and they still gave me $1k. The EIDL was the up to $2 million loan with 3.75% interest for 30 years.

    Small business loan

    I got approved for the EIDL Loan today. Received an email today asking me to login to confirm the amount of the loan that I'd like. Just in time as they started closing the SS bays and vacs down in my area.

    Sludge Sucker

    Does the suction increase with the amount of pressure?

    Carwash Closings

    Anyone in IL receive anything or hear anything about needing to close down their vacs and self service bays? I'd say half of the car washes in my area have received cease and desist letters and had to close... the other half are still open and haven't received anything.
