IMO Vacs would be first and highest priority. However you do it. I would look to refurb or buy used. I have 2 IBAs and 3 SS bays and 6 Vacs. I charge $1 for 4 minutes of vac time. My Vacs collectively generate as much monthly gross revenue as 1 of my SS Bays. Next Would be Air Shammee...

I read through this thread and I'm interested in testing this out. I currently do a low ph pass then a high ph pass then a high pressure rinse. For me, this is a very simple thing to change in my PLC program. The question I have: As we move toward summer and hotter temps, do you have any...

Not arguing, but here is my rational.... HIgh ph Presoak is alkaline. Viton is for hydrocarbons

I am using a flow jet pump to dispense low pressure high pH presoak to my self serve bays. I am using the Santoprene G57 pump. It is dead-headed at 80 psi to a 3 port SS solenoid manifold. When you select presoak from one of the self serve bays, that particular solenoid gets energized and...

Whatcha think causes the "snot bloom"? I've been using Bubble Up for a little over 2 years. Even leaving it sit stagnant in it's chem tank for most of the winter when I switch to foamy brush with methanol. I've not encountered this..... FWIW my chem tanks are stainless...

Firstly, I use KR's Bubble Up and I think its absolutely fine. Smells good, has great color and foams up great. I've not had any gel or coagulation issues......ever. There is a reason they want you to dilute it first. It's because with the old screw in style tips, there is too big a ratio...

We closed for 3 days in Jan when the temps went well below zero. In front of each bay was a full sized traffic cone with a laminated sign on it that read " Closed Too Cold/Cerrado Demasiado Frio" On the morning of the 4th day (where temps were finally going to rise into the teens) I arrived...

Yep, all set. Thanks

Below 17°F I close my touchless IBAs. This is usually at night. I only have doors on the exits, and even though my presoaks, and other chemicals are heated to 60°F, they freeze on the vehicle before the high pressure pass. This cold stretch we're having right now is the coldest I've seen...

Side note, I am closed. I've been closed Mon, Tues and today (Wednesday 1/22/25). It's too cold. Low last night hit -13°F, actual temp. No wind chill BS but the raw actual temp. Today's high is supposed to be +13°F. Tonight's low is forecast to be 0°F. I'm not missing much. I've got the...

Yep I understand all this. I just wish folks would list dimensions, the critical ones are the .430/11mm stem dia & the .875 overall height. It's used on a variety of gas valves, and I think I'm going to keep an eye on ebay for a reasonably priced used one and buy it for a spare. New valve is...

No part numbers, Only markings are 24 vac and .22amp. I included a rough sketch

Sadly, no. They wont sell individual parts for the gas valve. So buying a complete $1300 unit was the only solution. Should be here tomorrow. I am currently closed. Daytime highs are low teens, and tonight we'll fall below zero. Similar temps on Wednesday. I plan to open back up on...

Just did, super informative. Thanks!

Thanks but it's none of these.

Closed for MLK day

I need the part number of the 24 VAC solenoid coil shown in the pics below or suitable replacement part number. Please help, any useful info is greatly appreciated!!!! I've exhaustively searched online and I can't seem to find it. Part numbers involved: Boiler RayPack H1-0541C Serial...

There is a great need for a sarcastic font. Sorry, I'm not making fun of you, it's just I feel your pain. During preseason testing last year, I discovered a leak in my floor heat that was about 1.5 gal day. Luckily for me, it was the manifold under my boiler and I was able to repair it...

I'm relatively new to this also, this is my second winter as an owner/operator. Here's my experience. It's about the change. For us here in the high coal country of Pa, we just got sustained cold after record breaking warmth this fall. Right now, highs in the upper 20s during the day...
