My site uses 3207 size tip in winter and I run my pumps at 1200 psi. Some customers mention that there is not enough pressure. Is there another size tip that you would recommend? TIA

Mondo located in Ajax is another good supplier.

I have a CAT 340 pump that’s directly connected to a motor, and it seems to be nearing the end of its lifespan. Today, I had the seals and valves replaced because the pressure wouldn’t go above 500 psi. A new CAT 340 is being quoted at $1,400 CAD by a local supplier in Toronto. Are there any...

Good morning! I plan to switch from an electric water heater to a propane-based heating system for my in-floor heating. I've been intrigued by the performance of the Takagi tankless water heater, as installed by 2Biz. Regrettably, the Takagi brand isn't accessible for purchase in Canada. I'm...

Thank you Randy and IB.

Since this winter when one of the bays froze, I've encountered a peculiar issue. Despite thawing the hoses, I never received any pressure from the pump, leading me to close the bay. Today, I replaced all 6 valves, as they were severely damaged. The heads appear undamaged, with no cuts or...

Thank you for your help. The installed nozzles are 1/8 MEG 3207. So as I am weeping water, should I go with 2506, 2507 or 2508? Regards Andy

Currently I am running 1100 psi pressure to the bays and using winter weep guns. However, some customers have complained that the pressure is not enough. What is considered an optimal pressure? Please advise.

We use a graphic designer who designs social media posts as per our requirement. We receive 4 designed posts a week and then my staff posts them on Instagram, Facebook. My cost is $250 (Canadian) for the designed posts.

We have been using Jive for many years now. Highly recommend it.

I am at $3 for 3 minutes (rural northern Ontario town). The competitor is at $4 for 4 minutes. I prefer the $3 start as someone who needs a quick rinse is able to do it, but most customers end up paying more as they can’t just finish the soap and rinse cycle in time. Moreover, they prefer the...

All that fried chicken and fries "fragrance" may motivate the customers to order take out :)

I am running floor heat by using an electric water tank. I plan to upgrade it to a tankless water heater on propane. For the fryer heat I was thinking more of a bay heater similar to what some garages have.

Just wondering if anyone has experimented with heating the bays with used fryer oil? I have access to fryer oil and the guy who collects the used oil from my restaurant runs his car off the oil. That got me thinking to maybe use an in bay heat system running off the fryer oil.

In addition to a 2 bay car wash, I operate a Shell branded gas station, large size C-store, Pizza Pizza and will be adding a breakfast restaurant.

I am in Canada and I have been quoted 7800 + 13% HST.

I am absolutely confused if I should offer hot water rinse at my wash. Customers complain that the cold water freezes on their cars while they are washing (-20 Celsius temps). Will a hot water rinse mitigate this issue? When I bought the gas station there was 1 water heater that supplied hot...

I use old Ginsan timers.

At my car wash we only take cash and no credit cards. I wanted to count cars and the time when it is being used so that I can make informed operating decisions. For example if I see a pattern with only an odd wash happening between the hours of 7pm - 9pm, I may then turn off the weep and blowout...

Is there any feasible way to count the number of cars washed? Rather than counting the coins on the month end, it would be helpful if I can have access to the data. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your loved ones! Regards Andy
