how did you tie in the Tire shinners? Do they interfere with the side brushes at all or is the bay 50' long??? Have 5 Tandems and absolutly love them but never considered tire shinners? Thru-put effected by this addition?

Ok. First I am looking for a used PDQ G-5 and a PDQ Access. Looking for one that may still need removal which I would be happy to do as part of the deal? Second: We have a location that has a Detail bay that is 45' X 17 wide which is not being used for anything but storage. It has a drive in...

not the thermostat but the actual On board heater themselves. The thermostats would be extra of coarse.

We have over 15 G-5's currently and a good chunk of them are victim to failed on-board soap heaters. We are thinking that since the replacement costs are around $1500 a pair why not just use the available hot water on site instead. I know that the temp won't be as high but the 4000 and M-5...

Rumor has it that PDQ is going public with thier new machine but wanted to sell off at least the first batch for testing. As I understand it now they have about 8-10 units sold and 2 beta machines running? From what I have heard it sounds like a great concept on a great platform and am looking...

Gentlemen you've been most helpful. as we figureed it shouldn't be a problem. My chemical guy doesn't want us mix with any "rinses" because of the high TDS but the others are fair game. Thanks!

I am doing a wash site for a customer that is replacing his existing tunnel and also adding an IBA. The IBA will have spot free. We are discussing using the "waste water" from the R.O. unit for some tunnel applications. We would gravity feed the holding tanks and still have "city" water as a...

PDQ has some "newer" style prox switches that are notoriously failing and that could be the culperate. If they are a different style or brand from what you had in there originally that could be the problem?

depending on what type of entry unit you have you could hold the car in the que until the other completely exits. (maybe makes and breaks a set of exit eyes?) to do this. Like a Hamilton I believe you can set the passive and active switch setting to get this result? Not 100% on that but...

as brite auto said you COULD try another brand but then your starting from scratch. Keep on your distributor! They want to make it right and keep your business. On the G-5's check the soap heat tempurature and also the speed of the unit. In the winter many operators will speed up the passes...

Try your distributor If you like either the PDQ or Vector you really should contact either Carwas Services of New England or New England Car Wash Equipment and see what they may have for used equipment. Many times these distributor's are working with clients to replace or upgrade equipment...

your right peak usage would be really the only place where this would be an advantage and you'd have to find out from your power company how they bill it out. Also some companies go off of an average so that can have an effect as well. We are using a Seimens soft starter, as well a A Zoeller...

We just came up with a great wat to reduce some of our electrical consumptions used in tunnel carwashes especially but could be used in many applications. Instead of using an magnetic contactor that "spikes" the meter all the time we are using VFD's and Soft Starts. This drastically reduces...
