    eductor kit for dema threaded metering tips?

    I know guys that have dema tips going into hydrominders. They just use the 1/4" barb x 1/4" MPT adapter and tap the barb to enable in a screw in tip.

    Re-using R/O reject water

    you can also plumb it into any piece of equipment or many pieces (through a new water line) using a repress pump and a bladder tank. I've set up small systems using an all in one system from grainger and i've also used the system from pur-clean. I've used it to mix with some chemicals, to lube...

    HydraFlex chemical injectors.

    I'm assuming you mean the barb fitting since it doesn't come apart. I usually would just run some air and warm water through the barb similar to what Earl recommended. That usually works well. John

    Mega Foamer idea

    That is something similar I think but different. Look at that break though! I wonder what the cpc is of that stuff.

    Mega Foamer idea

    Has anyone seen a foamer like this as a presoak arch? This seems to dump a boat load of foam on the car. Should be a great show for the customer. Anyone seen or know of what it is? I'm sure i can make something from scratch but if its already out there, there is no sense in re-inventing the...

    Gift Card Push Ideas

    Our customers get the top wash for $10 instead of $12. We have monthly pass programs at two main levels $20 and $50 a month. Discounting those is an idea.

    Gift Card Push Ideas

    I'm looking for ideas to really push Gift Card Sales this year. I plan to incentivize my employees through a contest, promote through our website and facebook, and even offer to ship to recipient or buyer. Have you had any success with discounting books or giving away a free top wash with gift...

    What product do you use for tire shine?

    We have tried many different kinds of tire shine. Our shiner is similar to the Viper system where it touchlessly applies the tire shine to the wheel while traveling down the bay. This can lead to more sling so we've struggled with different products. I like the look of silicone based products...

    So just what is it about the "Water Savers" program?

    Signage would do for sure. But the attention I got from the forbes reporter came directly from the water savers website. She didn't find my facebook or website but found the water saver's website. I agree about having a higher standard and have voiced that. But this is a great start IMO. they...

    So just what is it about the "Water Savers" program?

    For me it was a way to be recognized for reclaiming water that we are already doing. Its puts your car wash on a local search and give you a chance for more publicity. My reasoning for reclaiming water isn't as much environmental as I'm sure most of the guys here. But my customers have...

    Diy cta?

    the CTA timers are more precise I believe being able to be set in .10's of a second sometimes. I don't know that my vacuum with dip switches is that accurate or would measure in that small of a time. you don't want your CTA's on longer than 5 seconds most the time.

    Total Vehicle Protectant

    We see the function and use behind triple foam where the mom with kids sees the color and entertainment of it. I wouldn't remove it due to the customers wanting a show. maybe you can switch to a conditioner instead of a wax to save on the bottom line and still give the show.

    Xpres Wash

    we looked into xpress wash as well one thing that was unsettling was that you had to use their cc processor, which wasn't cheap. and they held your funds until the end of the month/ only transferred once a month. so essentially they get an interest free loan. I'd rather use my processor and get...

    Sudden unintended acceleration

    Has there been any recorded instances of this problem at Express exteriors? I haven't heard of any but they may just not be in the news too. If there are no cases of it at EE sites then it looks like there is a hole in the theory. IMO
