    i really like my ivs vacs. they've been super reliable since new almost 20 years ago! occasional coin jams and replace a motor here and there and they just keep making money.

    Looking for a used Wash Select II in proximity to WA state

    You'd probably get a better response if you started a new thread for this because it is a totally different topic than the original topic which was about a floor stand for a razor car wash

    Unexpectedly high water bill, has anyone seen meter over report due to air in the line?

    It also seems like other big water users would be hip to this idea as well. Hotels, restaurants, hospitals etc. use tons and tons of water

    Razor Powder coated vs Stainless frame

    I have a stand on my razor package and I bought the stainless steel one. There was really no choice in my mind because The car wash environment is so harsh I wanted the best chance possible to have the stand last and look good for a long time.

    Soap in Rinse water

    disconnect the main hose from the pump going out to the bay for high-pressure. Reconnect a new Shorter length hose with a gun assembly that you can pull out the door and spray from your equipment room. Test the rinse that way and see if it's OK that will tell you if it's the hose going out to...

    POLL: Which of these issues keeps you up at night the most….

    it's been a long time since I worried too much about any of these things in my business. Probably the most important thing on this list to me is the expenses of the business. I don't lose sleep over it though because as long as I feel like I am taking the appropriate action to keep expenses low...

    Obsolete Gold Line with dial up

    i switched to a mars validator when i added cryptopay. another awesome upgrade. much better bill acceptance than the xe. yes i lost tokenote capabilities but i was ready to stop the tokenote madness anyway.

    Vacuum hose length

    vac hoses are commonly 15' in my experience. that allows people to return the hose to the vacuum, making 2 or 3 loops. it's up to the customer to return the hose after they finish vacuuming. lots of lazy people just toss the hose on the ground and leave it for 'somebody else' to pick up. if...

    Wax Issue

    did you check for the proper voltage at the solenoids when the wax is selected? Did you be sure to install the right type of replacement solenoid valves? On my set up, the valves are normally closed and when power is applied they open. It's easy to put the wrong valve in without realizing it...
