    Allen Bradley Relay

    No. Good idea however I swapped breakers with a good pump stand. Replacement worked.

    Never mind. I figured it out by looking at the replacement part on the KR website. Easy.

    Allen Bradley Relay

    The breaker component of my Allen Bradley relay keeps tripping. I reset the breaker (blue button on lower part) but it trips again after 30 seconds. I guess it has gone to a better place and needs to be replaced. Trying to figure out how to release it from the back brace on my KR self service...

    Is Etowah valley equipment still in business?

    I hear you and understand the sentiment. That said in the ten years I have been in the industry they have been this way for almost all. On the flip side KR does save some solid brands that were just mismanaged into the ground. They are very different than the way Amazon operates who just...

    3 bay Touchless Car Wash Purchase

    SecondLine which is now called conversations by Go Daddy. You can port a number over or they can assign you a phone number. Used to be a great deal at $5/month but now $15/mo so at that price is is worth looking at the various options. Alt is to get a Google Voice number and forward to...

    Cash Counting Machines

    Better than new models when it comes to old, worn, bent, and taped bills. Easy to use and keep clean.

    Cash Counting Machines

    An old Cummins Jetscan that has been maintained. Much better than any of the new models that have too many sensors detectors and is very sensitive. Via FB marketplace or eBay. B

    Advice needed on raising prices

    It is very location and demographic specific. One location too wash is $20 and more than 1/2 use it. 1/4 use the $18. The other packages are $18,$15, $13. Think of the Costco gas station model. They offer 87 and 93. That’s all. Simple decision. I am temped to try this model. We even...

    Nope. Used them a long time ago for another company and was not impressed. Not going down that path again.

    Inherited CarWash with purchase of a lube shop

    No worries I do not take disagreement personally. People can have different perspectives and experiences. Not familiar with the recovery you refer to or if you are talking about system production capacity per hour or day. Our settings work for us. We over sized our RO system so we do not run...

    Anyone convert a wash to something else?

    Plastic but not much pipe extended out if the floor so cap was a challenge. No sheeting. We did seal the edges of the steel plate with a type of bond that adheres to the steel and the concrete floor. I will post pics whenever I get back to the building.

    Anyone convert a wash to something else?

    We did but seal was not tight so the sand added a layer of protection.

    Anyone convert a wash to something else?

    I will get pics when there next. The sand in the pits can be sucked up by a wet dry vac if you wanted to covert back to a wash. That said conversion back is not in the cards for us as we are taking down some internal walls and adding drywall to make office space. The pits are 3’x3’x18” deep...

    The other issue is that financing a carwash has become extremely difficult to do. Banks are nervous again, more than ever before. The better idea might be to see if the current owner is looking or would consider an exit strategy and make them an offer they cannot refuse. You would be in...
