Howdy Yall It has been a while since I’ve been on here but I appreciate all the help you guys offered in my carwash update about 1 and a half years ago. I ended up replacing my Wash Wizard 1.0 with a Razor Edge and Hamilton Commander paystation and it was definitely worth the change. It...

It has been 6 weeks since we took our old machine out of service. There have been Various delays some electrician being slow some distributor isduesbut I thought we are finally washing cars again. Although the flex wouldn’t work and SPR is not working. Nope! As of the time of writing this...

I removed my old Water Wizard 1.0 today to make way for the new Razor! The WW was in ok condition and was still doing a good job washing cars. The question I have is what should I do with the old thing? Try to sell it? Part it out? Give it to some entrepreneur to use again? Find a...

Howdy yall I have a Rowe changer that has been upgraded in the past but is now having problems with the bill acceptor. I am wanting to replace or refurbish the Mei AE 2611 u7 115v bill validator. Are there any available quality replacements available? If not. Where can I send this thing...

Howdy yall, I've finally got word my Razor is scheduled to ship at the end of August after ordering the equipment at the begining of April. So I have a few questions yall may answer since I feel like the supplier is not really organized and hopefully they are better at installs than sales and...

Howdy y’all, I have been seeing a few threads about running the presoak through the foam gun. I think this is something I am going to figure out for my wash. The current Coleman low pressure presoak setup sucks! I have a Graco husky 307 pump or a Procon pump and motor I could use for this. I...

Howdy yall We are have a strange issue with a bay with a cryptopay swiper. Count up. Occasionally if someone swipes their card it will run like normal then turn off a a random time before it hits the limit. After that happens, if a card is swiped it gives .25 credit on the timer but no more...

Howdy Yall, I am in the process of getting pricing for a new machine and am strongly considering the new Razor Double Barrel. Does anyone have any opinions on this equipment? Also, Are there any must have options or must nots? Hyperflex? Spectra Ray? Under Carriage with power towers? Big...

Howdy yall, Starting yesterday my triple shine had very little foam. We have 40 psi of air and get chemicals through the nozzles but it is watery now instead of foamy. I didn’t change anything it just is not foaming like it was. Would this be an issue with the chemical mixture or is there...

I have read multiple threads regarding this topic but am I seriously considering replacing my Water Wizard 1.0. At what income level does it make sense for you guys? What increase did you see from a new machine? Decrease is water usage? Decrease in maintenance? I have only owned this place 2...

Howdy y’all, I ordered a vacuum gauge to check the suction on my Jim Coleman vacuums and all of them are around 35-45. I don’t have the gauge with me but I think it measured in inches of water column. 1 has new motors and motor gaskets the others have not been changed by me but all are about...

Howdy y’all, I’m thinking of offering some extra services pending finding the right employee. I have found the demand for what I would call a light detail (vacuum, wipe off the interior trim, clean exterior) is pretty high. I could probably hire a decent attendant to do this and offer a few...

Howdy y’all I purchased my first car wash in December and I have been working tirelessly rehabbing and getting it back to top notch condition. The majority of the work is done and the results have been outstanding in my opinion. Now there is a second wash available, a bank repossession...

Howdy y’all I have 1 bay that started pulsating when on high pressure. The pressure bounces from maybe 850-1000 and it is noticeable at the gun and at the pump. Is this a common issue I could use a little guidance?

Howdy Yall, So my RO water is about 70 hardness and I am going to work to correct the issue. I had Culligan come rebuild my carbon filter and they are supposed to come back and repair the RO system but due to Covid 🤷‍♂️ they are way backed up. My incoming water is about 400 and the water...

Howdy y’all Everything has been going well and I am having ideas to help keep my new customers around. I’ve get some old threads about operators offering a towel drying station and I am considering the same. My wash is located in a good area and I have someone there 4 days a week to keep an...

Howdy y’all, We have been collecting much more in quarters than I remove from the change machine. I keep fairly detailed records when I remove the money and noticed a few interesting trends. So far, if I was to remove $100 in bills from the changer, I would remove $125-$130 from vacuums and...

Howdy y’all I am going to build a meter to vend air and want to know if anyone has a box similar to a JE Adams 6070? Like this or is there a less expensive option? I have extra Led6 timers and thought I can easily set up a solenoid to vend air.

Howdy y’all Does anyone have a plan for when you weep water or when it’s better to blow the lines out and pump in something to prevent freezing? Here it’s going to be 10 degrees tonight and 40 tomorrow then 20 tomorrow night and 60 on Saturday. I was considering blowing my lines out since...

There is a air bubble in the hydrominder chemical feed that I can’t seem to get ride of. Is there some trick to this? I already replace the foot valve, I replaced a check valve in the line. I also replaced the tube going down from the hydrominder and drilled a hole above the water level. I...
