    Double float valves

    I want to install double float valves on this tank. The idea is to have one 199K tankless water heater for three SS bays but I know it won't keep up if all three are using wax or soap. Having one plumbed with hot water and a second one with cold water set a few inches lower should alleviate any...

    Light shadowing in self serve bays

    We are in the middle of a large remodel and I wanted to verify where we wanted our new wall packs in our now (almost) 15' tall bays. I fabri-cobbled some temporary stands to hold up the fixtures and powered them up. Bays are 26' long outside dimension and 16' on center. I set the fixtures at 12'...

    Anyone using Montavue Surveillance?

    We have been going back and forth debating on purchasing a Lorex or a Backstreet system. They are not really apples to apples but there is also a large price difference. The Backstreet system we have spec'd out is about $13K and the Lorex at about $7K. We really like the Backstreet and does so...

    Offset/Z-Boom options

    We are going with 360 degree ceiling mount offset booms and looking at all options. This is what I have found so far for 6 booms: Etowah Valley Pro with swivel and hose is about $5,600 plus freight. I remember being pretty impressed by these at the 2019 car wash show in Nashville. (I could...

    Cryptotap Plus

    Although this is in the Monex thread I wanted to start its own because I have in the past not been able to find posts like that in other threads. https://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-71899-cryptopay-cryptotap-plus-cashless-payment-unit.aspx

    Another tankless water heater replacing boiler thread

    We were going to replace the old 399,000 BTU boiler several years ago but never got around to it. We are doing a major remodel of our wash now and want the floor space for more equipment and chemical storage. If we put the 60 gallon stainless storage tank where the boiler is now then we can...

    Hamilton Gold Line in nice shape and shut down from service Oct 5. Cryptopay upgrade kit installed and new hopper in 2017. In the last year or two replaced buttons, bill validator and Cryptotap (tap to pay). The only issue is sometimes when it gets really hot outside it thinks a car has pulled...

    Parking lot omelets!

    Okay, not omelets but we were egged! Three stupid jackasses threw I don't even know how many eggs all over our wash. Lot, vacs, walls etc... I'm guessing 36 eggs because there were two empty 18 packs laying on the lot. These things are really hard to remove after sitting in the sun for a few...

    Trash in oil separator

    Is it normal to see trash floating in your oil separator/interceptor after a while? Does it mean we have a trap missing on one of our bay pits? Years ago I had an environmental company use one of those water sample "thiefs" and there was very little oil on top and very little solids in the...

    Bird is relentless building nest in Laurel vendor

    This is a new issue to me that I didn't think could happen. Going on 7 days now that everyday a bird is building a nest behind all the magazines in a five selection Little Tree vendor. The first day I removed all the magazines and cleaned it out thoroughly. Then I thought I would open two black...

    Pulsation Dampener

    Recently I swapped out the BR10-1 US Para Plate regulator (they have gotten pricey for how long they last) for an SMC 5551090 on our Cat 1010 spot free delivery pump running 400 psi. It seems to pulsate in the bay more than it used to. We are using the Mosmatic lightweight comfort hoses in the...

    You can now remotely start a bay, vac or auto wash using Cryptopay

    In case you missed it Cryptopay has a new remote activation service available for $60/year. I guess we were a guinea pig because we have had it for a year or so. It works exactly like if you were there in person swiping a card but you can't stop the count up or add time to count down. (basically...

    CWSS's Elite Club membership goes to $199

    It has been $99/year for several years now and we have been pretty happy with it at that price. The new price is $199 and at first I was aggravated until I asked a few questions about what it now includes. It now includes LTL shipments, chemicals and over weight packages which it did not include...
