I added some items for sale earlier and went back to add more pictures and details but realized that there is no way to edit my posts.

I used LE lighting. Two per bay. https://www.lightingever.com/50w-led-wall-pack-light-6300006-dw-us.html

And you're renting them out? What's a 20 footer go for? Rent wise. They have adds all over my area selling them.

Around here? I'm East of Cincinnati, Ohio. Where are you MEP001?

I'm not sure how many I could actually get on site. A storage unit designer would know how to get the most out of the space. A 10 x 20 unit here is $97.+ tax and a 10 x 30 unit is $140.00 + tax. if I put 8 10x30 units straight across with nothing else it's $1,120. a month. If configured...

Does anyone have storage units on their car wash lot? I have a small lot 75' x 100' in the back of my 3 bay self serve wash. I thought of putting a few small storage units back there. I probably couldn't get many on a lot that small but $1000, - $1200, a month could mean better upgrades to the...

I have a small lot behind my wash and will dump a bucket of mud there from time to time or even shovel mud in my garbage cans on trash day. I paid 150.00 to have my pit pumped by a local septic truck. From the videos on youtube with the pit trucks they just dump the mud in fields or grassy...

Make sure all utilities are paid up and are ready to transfer immediately into your name. If the gas, water or electric is interrupted it would obviously hurt business.

How do you apply the tip protectors? Do they just slide over the tip or do you remove the tip and screw them on with the tip?

Post up a picture of your hydrominder fuel plug inside your equipment room. At least people would know you do own the wash.

I was really relieved to not see any pictures of my wash on here! And no I won't contribute!

That's what my middle bay pump was doing, "pulsing/pulsating" now it struggles to get up to pressure. I may attempt to put the seal kit in it. I purchased about a year ago. I have a few other heads. I guess I can inspect them and go with the better of the 3 and hope it works. When the pumps are...

I believe I fixed my soap in the rinse water problem today. I have a check valve from the soap barrel to the pump for soap. My city water enters from a pipe on the wall via a hose through a dema solenoid valve. The valve was damaged during a freeze and I thought just taking it apart and pushing...

https://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-21381-arimitsu-516l-replacement-kit-3105cp.aspx Kleenrite has the 516 for a little over $100. more than a 310. Other than the noise and customer service what are the other advantages to switching? Can they not wash out? Are they more reliable over all? I...

Since I'm a Chevy guy, you're saying I should go with the Dema because it's more reliable?

Are you saying my solenoid is 1/2" and not 3/8"? And it is ok to order that same one because it is a diaphragm or should I still get the asco as 2biz suggested? Is it normally closed? I haven't had any luck with my plumbing sizes. I know 1/2 and 3/4 pipe but when I ordered new hoses that I...

Dema solenoid 24v 50-60hz 3/8 I need to replace it anyways. I will check the prices on the other brand. Being new to the car wash business I don't know what brand names are better. I think if I was on this site 2 years ago I would be a lot better off today. Thanks again guys! Tim

Ok, I haven't used photobucket in years because most sites you can upload photos to now. However this one still doesn't. Photobucket wants $40.00 a month for 3rd party sharing. What are some photo hosting sites that you guys use here? I notice there are not many photos in any of the post...

[/URL][/IMG] Assuming the picture shows up? The check valve runs back to the soap barrel and the solenoid valve is the fresh water for rinsing. I know the solenoid valve is damaged from a recent freeze up and I will be replacing it anyways. The o ring was blown out the sides and I managed to...

Right now I get the quarters from each bay and vacuums and dump them into the changer. I don't count them to see which bay/vac is doing better. (I want to start!) I get the bills out of the changer make a deposit in the bank write checks to pay the utilities then repeat. Does anyone have a...
