    Remote control device of some sort

    Wondering if anyone knows of a remote control device or app or some such thing where I could activate a simple action from a remote location on a phone, for example. Just to be able to pulse a relay remotely to give away an automatic wash to a customer sitting there complaining on the phone to...

    Softener Salts

    NaCl is salt. That's what you're looking for. NaCl (salt) is what your water softener uses in it's regeneration process. NaCl is NaCl. What the bag looks like as long as it contains NaCl (salt) then you're doing fine. I know an owner that uses white animal lick blocks from his ranch (buys...

    Reusable Fittings on HP hose

    When you use these types of fittings: https://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-2755-parker-reusable-hose-fittings-38-wb-x-38-mip.aspx Do you put lubricant on the hose to spin on the fitting and if so what lubricant do you use? I've tried a couple different lubricants and all they've done is soften...

    Alarm System Monitoring

    I've had an alarm system at the washes for 30 years and I understand the benefits of it- it's caught the bad guys plenty of times. The question is that my system is monitored by a company that calls me on my cell when the alarm goes off. I then get on the cameras, see what's going on and then...

    Using K-R Super wash as a Pre-Soak in Ryko Touchless. advice on foaming boost

    It really is quite simple. Solenoid valve with the wires hooked up to the same wires that run your relay on your presoak pump. On that solenoid have a regulator and needle valve and then run the air line up and out to the bay and install it into the manifold going into your machine. Put a...

    Using K-R Super wash as a Pre-Soak in Ryko Touchless. advice on foaming boost

    Inject air into the soap line right before it enters a manifold or as close to the machinery as you can. Put a regulator and needle valve along with a solenoid on the air line. Adjust the pressure and flow of the air to your satisfaction. Wire the solenoid up to the same relay as runs the...

    auto drain for compressor

    I have one on the tank but also put another one on the air line right before it feeds into the Flojets. Keeps those pumps from freezing up on those busy days. Gets rid of any water buildup in the air lines.

    High Pressure Check Valves

    I too have switched to General. I didn't know they were rebuildable. Anyone know the part number at KR for... https://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-7910-general-pump-ycv14fss-65-gpm-14in-check-valve-6500-psi.aspx ...this one? I can't find a kit online. Thanks

    Hydrominder backflow

    I agree. I've had problems in the past year or so with new footvalves leaking back into the pails/barrels or at least emptying the hose and filling with air from the air vents. I've read on other threads where others have had issues as well. I've tried different types/makes and had the same...

    Dosatron, are you using these in your wash applications?

    Just wondering how many of you are using Dosatrons in your washes in place of a hydrominder type setup. If you're using them what are you using them for? Thanks.

    Cyptopay and other systems and their delay in actual charges

    Are you talking inside the ss bay? Don't understand how this would work on a vending machine of a fixed $1 price or a vacuum with a fixed count down price of $1, example.

    Microcoin QL and it's harness corrosion.

    I've recently had two harnesses go out on the Microcoin. There is corrosion in the plug where you plug the coin acceptor into the harness. Anyone tried some dielectric great in that plug with success? Did this stop the corrosion? This is the harness I'm talking about that the acceptor plugs...

    Cyptopay and other systems and their delay in actual charges

    My application is count down. With the vacs you swipe and get $1 worth of time. I have Cryptopay on my vending machines with a fixed $1 sale price and with both the vacs and the vending I get the $10 charge on my customers' accounts for "a couple of days". The gas stations used to have that...

    Best SS wax from KR

    I agree about the coloring, especially in waxes. I don't care about colors in HP waxes. I tried one wax product that the coloring was so strong that customers were complaining.

    Cyptopay and other systems and their delay in actual charges

    Been having problems with Cryptopay's merchant providers. Tired of a customer swiping a vacuum or vending machine for $1 and having them instantly receive on their phone a notice of a pending $10 charge. Customers don't see the "pending" part of the deal. Cryptopay tells me it takes up to 2...

    Good diaphragm solenoid valve for SS spot free water?

    Looking for a good solenoid valve for my spot free manifolds with a pressure of up to 600 psi. Tired of those piston valves not lasting in this application. If you have a model number that would be great!

    Best SS wax from KR

    That "anti-freeze" is exactly our experience with Peachy Peach. Even had customers wash and then pull out to dry and drip that green wax water to the ground and then think there's something wrong with their coolant. I'm looking for new stuff.....

    Kleen-Rite Ultra Concentrate problems in hydrominder tank

    I'm having problems over time with my KR Ultra Concentrates in my hydrominder tanks. Doesn't mater if it's HP soap, FB soaps, waxes, whatever. In the tank there is a buildup of soft sludge like stuff that builds up on the walls of the tanks, floats,and it floats around in the chemical, etc...
