    Reclaim overflowing with foam

    Chemistry has to be spot on with high foaming chemicals if not the recirculation of water in the pits is going to agitate the chemical. Make sure they are also reclaim compatible chemicals. They may have a defoamer that you can use to help but you don't want to constantly be using it. As...

    Tankless on IBA

    As mentioned above it all depends on the demand. Have a buddy who ran a tankless for years. Updated his location with a new wash and the LP pump on the new equipment had a higher flow rate and kept shutting down his wash with Low Pressure errors.

    Wax question

    Too much wax also isn't a good thing. In our area, we have very hard water. We add a hard water rinse before the finishing products to help rinse and dry better.

    Air Compressor - Breaker Tripping off

    A 230V single phase motors on a 208V system suck in my experience. At a busy site, you will be lucky to get 2 years out of one.

    Corporate Express Exteriors are OUT of Their Ever Loving Minds!

    10x-12x wasn't uncommon for a great or desirable location. but this is coming to an end with the rise in rates and banks asking for more down. They can build them cheaper and build what they want versus buying something already made. For those that wanted to sell but were waiting for a higher...

    Poll: Biden vs. Trump's era

    With the increase on cost of everyday items, we are seeing about a 30% decrease in sales across all locations. People are still washing but we are not seeing the numbers we had 3+ months ago. Had a meeting with our banker and he told us they are seeing less transaction on debit and credit card...

    Car wash Security System

    At our tunnel sites, the entire camera system will pay itself off within the first month with the bogus claims that are denied. In bays take a couple months at most and with the self serves it is more to monitor people loitering and idiots trying to run their hand drying business in our vac...

    Do You Post Political Signs?

    We had one put up without permission last year and they used rebar to anchor it. While driving it in the ground they hit the edge of the 1 1/4" main sprinkler line just enough to cause a leak that was very noticeable the next day.

    Programming Laserwash M5 undercarriage after presoaks

    That's why I brought up the water saver option so you can reduce the pressure and volume of water.

    Programming Laserwash M5 undercarriage after presoaks

    Why not remove the side blasters and only use the bottom manifold? The new manifolds have extra spaces for nozzles or just increase the nozzle size to compensate for removing the other 8 nozzles. If you don't have it already, you can also add a water saver valve and decrease the pressure on the...

    My poor Fragramatics

    We got tired of repairing and replacing costly timers and people that didn't know how to read and complain that vacuum didn't turn on and only gave them 40 seconds. We have scrapped all of them and went with regular vacuums with stand alone fragrance units. Our sales increased instantly, heck I...
