Yes the valve is bad. You dont need it or the pulsation dampner honestly. Pull them off and put a plug in the head or buy a new pressure relief valve.

Did you show them the photos? How did they react? It always amazes me how people are so quick to check their cars for scratches or whatever after a car wash but not every time they park at a store with shopping carts and other cars in close proximity as if the only place a scratch can come from...

Were you physically there to witness this? Or was this a phone call that the customer explained what happened to you? Either way if it's not a recurrent issue or you cant replicate it your self then I wouldn't worry about it. There are gremlins in the industry and cryootoay also had an outage...

An iq max won't fit unless you raise the ceiling by 5ft and extend the bay 50ft plus widen it to 19ft. Im pretty sure a razor will fit in your bay. Been in your position before. Try to find a good razor on CWC. They usually are newer machines less than 6 years old from 40-80K. Finance it from...

It all depends on the hose used. Parker 387-ST seems to last the longest for me.

Exactly. I had a customer threaten me that my touchless machine dented their dually and they're going to sue me. Reviewed footage and they ran into bollard posts by my pay station just trying to scam. They asked for my insurance and I told them to F off. Three demand letters later from their...

Yup exactly. Name any other industry that gives you anything away for free. Free dash wipes. Free vacuums. Free Air. Free towels. We only hurt ourselves by continuing this BS. I have had countless PE tunnels and even IBAS move in around me that give away free vacs. Im at a 1.00 for 4 min and...

OK so I googled the street view to get a better look and that is a wild build the way it is. I cant believe someone built that with no stacking space. This is just my opinion but personally I would not worry about losing the bay. Unless you're running close to 2000 cars a month theres no need...

I dont know what your property looks like but can you reverse the flow when you install a new machine. Make entrance the exit and vice versa.

No problem. I don't think you will be able to use an over head sensor though. Other then how I have hooked them up using the timed output the only other way ive seen done is with a ground loop in the concrete. Problem with that is if a car is just sitting in bay the red X comes on. I completely...

I use these lights and use a double pull relay on timed output of the timer to activate the X. If someone is just sitting in a bay, bucket washing, or drying then the next car will pull up behind usually prompting them to either insert money or move. Only when the bay meter is running will you...

So you want to keep it an even number of passes so the machine always returns home on SF. What you could do if you want to speed things up is apply the TF while the rockers are on. Then you can also delete a HP pass. That will save about 30sec. Your going to have 60 sec of dwell time which is...

Dwell is an absolute must with the typhoon or it will not clean. It is too fast. Typically I set up top washes like this: PS1 Pass Dwell Pass PS2 Pass Dwell Pass with UB Rocker Blaster Pass HP Pass Triple Foam Pass HP Pass Rain Bar Chem Pass HP Pass Rain X Pass Med Pressure HP Pass HP Wax Pass...

JACKSON V. IF YOUR ARE READING THIS JUST KNOW I AM TRYING VERY HARD TO BE GOOD:ROFLMAO:

Just cause it’s there selling point does not mean it’s true. Why don’t you do a little research buddy. A typhoon can do 16 passes in three minutes. So yes it’s twice as fast.

At the 400 cars a month it’s doing and even at your projected 800 speed is not even relevant. You also certainly do not need two automatics. I’d look into a wash world razor if I were you. A little bit slower maybe around 5 min top wash but that’s a good thing. Customers will feel like there...

The main difference between a standard razor and a double barrel is that the wand on the double barrel has turbo nozzles and separate wand for presoak. The main advantage is the impingement of the turbo nozzles and no check valves. Both machines titrated properly would produce almost the...

You are doing it right and part of that is you need to charge more. The price increase will pay your payment, the equipment will bring you more customers, and the headaches of taking care of old machines will be gone. Good look and keep us updated on your progress. It's always nice to see photos...

Waxman is on point with this one. Blowers on all washes or people willl complain. Raise your prices significantly. I have tire cleaner on all my machines and TBH it's just another item to put on the menu. Does not do a great job. Id stick with just the power towers and entrance underbody. I have...

I currently accept all forms of payment. Ive owned quite a few washes before in low income areas where vandalism occurs. In my opinion those customers are not the card type. I was maybe 10% CC. If I wasn't taking coins im not sure what that number would be. Card only I believe IMO would be...
