Ok so I was checking things out today and tire cleaner totally out. In the past it was just the pump losing prime or air pressure too high, I could just shut off air for a bit and it's good. Now even with air off not a trickle out the gun. The psi gauge on solenoid bank is going higher than...

Anyone using the blue bubblegum for foam brush? I made up a drum full diluting down to about 20% before going into a hydrominder with one of those turtle wax blocks.... it still seems pretty damn strong, copius super thick foam. Thinking about diluting some more. Anyone using it? How far down...

I think the monex unit (assuming they do hold up) is the best you can get for the money right now. Cryptopay's tap reader is a good retrofit for existing setups, but why would you go with 2 pieces and no display vs 1 interactive unit that's cheaper.

Exactly, he wouldnt have to update his coin boxes if he slaps a monex on it.

The monex units do count up.

Monex has the integrated tap though... that's why I went monex. I've noticed when doing cashier duty lots of people use cash app, Google pay, Apple pay on their phones now.

You can get them right from KR, it's just a few holes in your coin box front plate and a few wire taps. Install the router antenna somewhere the terminals can hit it by wifi and can get 4g signal and good to go.

Well an alternative would be Monex, 550 per reader x 7 = $3850 usd + 350 for router = $4200 and you install them.

Hey do you know what ratio these dilute to?

Did you fabricate that foam brush unit? I want to build something like that to add a foam gun at some point.

I'm in the sprawl of Houston, not unlike Dickenson but different side of town.

Thanks for the input! Maybe I'll settle somewhere between the other washes.

That's what I needed. I don't even think it got bottomed out. Filing out the inside end will help.

Current pricing in area: Me: 1.25 for 3.75 min in bay, $1 for 4 on vacs. Competitor A: 1.50 for 3 min in bay (forgot to check wash) - tried the bay and no wax no tire cleaner and watery foam brush BUT good HP soap, a foam gun but no foam just liquid Competitor B: $2.25 for 2.2 min in bay, $2...

Yeah reusable, haven't been up to look it yet. I do remember not being able to thread the hose all the way and get the pin in far enough to thread, thinking it just wasn't done well enough.

Yeah that's the little guy with 4 bays off the main road right now. When I saw the price and then the pretty colored fragrant foam brush foam and also how busy it was, I was embarrassed and motivated at once to do better. Sounds like $1.50 for 3 min cash/ $2 for 4 credit should be ok. Max $15...

I have a leak above 1 bay from the HP line. It was a break a few inches behind the end so rather than replace the whole hose I cut it behind the break and put on a fitting. I probably messed up the install as the leak came back. Before I go back on the roof any tips/best practices for using...

I need to do the main softener too. I have that down the list as it doesn't affect whether the customers come or how long they stay. Curious what operators are charging around you, here 1 guy is charging $1/min and one is charging .50/min. $1/min felt expensive when I went to try it out but is...

You aren't in Houston by chance? :)

I can justify 2 now and move the 2 coleman timers on vac mode currently in bays to the vacs with busted led timers. That fixes 4 things. Doing the other 4 bays makes my life easier, and customers would like it but not sure it would help me recoup the Monex buy any quicker so I'm inclined to wait...
