How strong does your Blendco have to be on the titration test to get a car clean on a touch free automatic? I think the container recommends 25 to 30 drops on the titration test. I am using a very large tip right now, but only getting 14 drops on the titration test. I had a black car go...

Is it illegal to own or possess a bump key, or just to have it on you if you are commiting a crime? (Please avoid saying, "Why would you own one if you don't intend to break the law?" as this would not answer my question.)

What are "Buglary Tools". Is a bump key considered a burglary tool under the law?

A tote won't fit through my equipment room door. I'm going to have to plumb together 3 55 gallon drums, which will make the platform big. It is going to be 4 x 8 with only 4 legs and 9 feet in the air. There is just no other place in the equipment room. I'm currently trying to get the...

I know this topic has been on the forum before. It convinced me that I should start reclaiming the RO reject. I have a very small equipment room and the only place to put another tank is on a platform above some other equipment. It has to be a sturdy steel platform to hold the weight of all...

There is an "environmentally friendly" side to it (so they say). Since everything that is considered "green" is hot right now, I wonder if it could be a money maker. There are waterless carwash franchises. I could see this being a big money maker in California, New England, etc. Here in TN...

Which KR presoak are you talking about? They have 1A & B, 2A & B, and 3A & B. The A's and B's denote whether it is High or Low pH.

I always heard that I shouldn't vend anything that I didn't want to pick up off the lot after it has been used.

Does anyone else use high pH and THEN low pH?

I have a D&S 5000. I use 1st step of low preasure heated high pH presoak followed by a high preasure low pH presoak. I understand that this is the preferred method for D&S 5000's, but all of your posts talk about either 2 high pH passes or having the low pH put on first and THEN the high pH...

My IBA uses spot free rinse at the end and it seems to stick to the car (not bead). Would a drying agent be used instead of spot free? Would it only be used on a selections that didn't get the dryer?

I came in my equipment room this morning and the rinse tank on the D&S 5000 is running over. I think I need to replace the float valve. I turned off the water and drew down the water level, then turned the water back on to see it refill. There is a little hole on the left-bottom side of the...

I spend a good bit of time sorting out the tokens, dollar coins, and quarters before I roll the quarters. I'd love to have a machine that sorted them for me. Kleenright has a Klopp machine with a hand crank that sorts the coins, but it costs $900. As much as I hate sorting them, I only have...

where did you get the 300 gallon tank? I was going to get a 275 gallon tote, but I measured and it wouldn't fit though my door. I have a regular sized door and no other way into the equipment room. My plan was to have 3 55-gallon drums connected together, but I will have to make a huge...

I'm planning the same project. I have a D&S 5000 as well, but I just have one of them. Will a 165 gallon tank be sufficient? Also, please tell me how you designed and built the steel platform. This will be the hardest part for me. I will have to get someone to build it for me, and I will...

Anyone out there?

How do you plumb 55 gal. drums? A 275 gallon tote won't fit through my equipment room door, so I need to use this suggestion and plumb the 55 gallon drums together. How do you plumb them together? I have only operated this car wash for a few months, and I'm still learning about plumbing...

Waxman, I think I know what you are talking about when you say "250-gallon tote". These are the things with wire around the outside for stability? If I am correct on what it is, where do I get one? Thanks,

If there is a car wash bulletin, I would like to be on the mailing list. Anyone have info about it? Thanks,

It sounds like a good idea. Can you tell me a little about your proposed system? What size tank? How do you hook it in? Are you just feeding your rinse tanks like the RO reject system. I have operated a wash for only 8 months and am ready to implement such a project. thanks,
