Does anyone know where I could find a basic layout for a central Vac system? I am needing a 10 bay/20 drop design. Anything would help. Thanks.

I could really use some help. I have Googled this and can not find what I am looking for. I am renovating a wash and want to use a clamp rail for the polytube lines. The old equipment had a few of them, but did not have any name brands or numbers on them. They were black plastic and had...

For some of you guys that have done this before, please advise me on my current plan. I have Dixmor LED5 timers in each bay. I plan on using the rotary switch output to an off delay timer. The timer would control an air solenoid with lines to the foam brush manifold and HP hose manifold on...

Each bay of my self serve has a check valve for the high pressure water line on the manifold above each bay. The presoak, tire cleaner, and rainX also attach to this manifold and they also each have a check valve. My question is: Is it ok to have another check valve on the outgoing line from...

For those of you that use DRB SiteWatch, I strongly suggest you look into StatWatch. I have been using DRB for more than 12 years, and have used many remote viewing programs to keep in contact with what is going on at our stores, but this new StatWatch is awesome. It was about the easiest...

I am having an issue with a Mars validator and am not sure where to start. The bill acceptor will not turn on. When i turn on the main power, the control board lights up- green light, counter- but then after a few seconds, the Out of Order light will come on. The red light on the Mars will...

I've debated making some changes for a few months, and after cleaning up mud for three hours this evening I have decided to do something. I know I can't explain all the details of my wash, but it is a 6 bay SS with 3 JEAdams vacs, 3 Coleman combo vacs, 3 column drop vendor, dual changer, and...

I posted this in the wrong spot. Sorry. I have an American Changer. The hopper is a Universal Hopper. Last week it started having a problem. Whenever a bill is inserted, and the hopper starts to dispense quarters it sounds as if the motor is turning constantly and makes a loud humming noise...

I have an American Changer. The hopper is a Universal Hopper. Last week it started having a problem. Whenever a bill is inserted, and the hopper starts to dispense quarters it sounds as if the motor is turning constantly and makes a loud humming noise. It runs for about a minute and then...

I thought there was a post a few weeks ago about the ShamWow towels. I spent all morning looking but cant find anything on it. Can anyone point in the right direction or comment on them. I had a vendor call this morning and was selling them now.

Due to the fact that it was raining most of today and I am not happy with the current way, I have decided to solve the biggest problem our nation currently faces... the BCS. I have come up with the following: 16-team playoff There are currently 34 bowl games, 16 of which pay out 1 million...

I am having a problem with one of my bill acceptors and I am close to burning the thing while I dance around it! It is a CoinCo acceptor. The problem is the bill is not fully seating in the cashbox which causes the next bill to not be accepted, shutting down the machine. The bottom half inch...

Has anyone attempted, completed or thought of replacing the coin acceptor in the Vendmaster with something else? All of my prices are in $0.50 intervals, so I have no need for dimes or nickles. This is the only equipment I have that accepts them and I am tired of sorting them out. I also hand...

I heard that a local express exterior chain, Quick Quack Express Car Wash, in my area was recently bought out by a company I believe to be Spash n Dash from Sacramento. The old owners had a good thing going from what I could see. Just wondering if anyone here knows much about the new owners...

While doing my weekly walk thrus in the last month, I found that the Pina Colada on one of the Frag vacs has been running out. I dont keep them too full so I thought is was becoming more popular, so I started to fill it higher than the other two. I have know realized the Pina Colada runs when...

I was reading thru some older posts and found an idea that I hadnt thought of before but really love. To those of you who currently offer Febreze thru a Frag machine: Have you found any problems in doing this? Weather, etc. Do you use the "off the shelf" from a local grocery store or is there...

I looked thru some old posts and couldnt quite find a comparable post, so hopefully this is OK. What would be a good price for a used reclaim system. It is a 100 GPM, self cleaning filter unit that is almost four years old. I am somewhat concerned about why the seller is replacing a nearly...

What type of gun and wand do you recommend. I use a gun with the ss receiver for the wand and a galvanized wand. I have had a large amount of broken wands in the last month or two. I havent changed brands but I went ahead and replaced my bay equipment with new hoses, guns, wands, brushes...

I normally buy these plastic liners for my trash cans in the SS bays from a local car wash supplier. The other day I was looking thru a catalog and noticed they were cheaper. I now need to get some and can not remember which catalog/supplier I found them in. They are about two feet deep and...
