This is a good point. It brings up the method of determining when floor heat should run. I have seen many 'air stat' types which turn the floor heat on when the air is below freezing, and the returning fluid temperature is what is used to determine if the flame should fire or not. But another...

How!? PS , I may have had success convincing the building department of my logic. They asked for a narrative explaining this logic to be supplemented with the resubmittal and they would consider it. Problem is, it's actually written into the code books.... So I guess I will see how it goes...

Thanks for the response! However, I'm troubled with the science of this logic... The air/atmosphere is what is cooling (removing heat from!) the soil from the top, and that is what causes the 'frost line'. The reason it's not freezing below that frost line is because the ground is heated...

I was recently informed by local government officials that if I am planning on installing a heated slab outside of a building, new energy code requirements mandate the use of foam 'boards' made of polystyrene to be installed on grade and then the concrete poured on top. While I do not argue...

You absolutely need to program the coins in the dark. If you program or test the coin acceptor in the direct daylight, the sensors will not read correctly. If you are in the shade, its not as picky. But you will only get good results if you program with the meterbox or cashier door closed...

Motor run-on errors could just be a flat tire... Impact switches could be trailer hitches. Will need more info to provide any meaningful help.

What ever happened to Transco? Did Niagara purchase them? I know Zep bought Niagara after a couple of acquisitions.

Belanger didn't design the vfd cabinets right on the saber, that's for sure. Way too small nema 4x cabinet sealed with no ventilation and running 4 drives. Check the drive and see if it says fn. That is a fan error which tries to keep it cool. I have piped in conduit on the sides high and...

Yeah, but dixmor also charges low prices for repairs, keeps updating their timers, makes a timer that works forever, and offers great phone support. So yeah, they're like birds... They're not real.

A major reason for this is that warranties don't carry from the distributor sale date. They are only recognized from the day the item leaves the manufacturer. Why would a distributor take the risk on not selling an item, and then take the risk on having to cover a warranty claim when the...

For those that weren't here during the 2008 crash... Many (too many) car washes were built in the early/ mid 2000's. They were mostly in-bay automatics washes with self-service bays. It was very similar to the express wash 'rush' currently taking place. Car washes were actually 'black listed'...

I wasn't confused. It might work for some and definitely looks to be an economical option to get some value to the customer base out there that wants these services... I however, don't like the idea of paying a company for them to take over my customers - no matter if its a piece of the...

Your post indicates you previously sold equipment. What equipment is that? Why are you plugging your brand when not even mentioning the brand? Why would you have stopped selling ever? I'm confused.

That explains the issue i have with it... Who's customer is it? X car wash or Touch4Wash... I would have interest if it could be 'branded' to the car wash and be exclusive in the available locations. Also if QR Code was an option to simplify. I also am not a fan of having the customer...

Maybe you should ask about owner financing (assuming you are qualified)... The response might give you a hint as to whether the current owner thinks its sustainable long term.

If a car wash customer has the app, but happens to be closest to a compitive wash who also has Touch4Wash, the app will suggest using that wash right? There's no way to have them only be able to see your location/locations, right? I think the QR code would make less thinking. Any thinking is...

I personally wouldn't consider a lease, but if it suits you.... Most important thing would be to look at the prior 3 years and see if sales are increasing and if there's upside (memberships, extra services, new local developments). Also would heavily consider the option that a new competitor...

This brings up an issue I'm passionate about. Be sure to choose a side and stay educated! John Deere and Apple are on my ****list. Buying stuff used to mean that you owned it. https://repair.org/stand-up

Not if there's upside. Only experienced operators should buy 'on the come', but I have bought properties that aren't worth it at $0.00 based on reported and actual finances. But if you know that the site is suffering from poor operation/maintenance and has a strong location and bones, you can...
