    new 5cp2140 cat pump noisy

    We had an instance where we had the pump running in the opposite direction. It seemed to be louder than the other. Once we reversed the direction it was normal.

    Petit

    It was fast however, the distributor doing the install lives about an hour away and was working about 12 hours a day. He stayed nearby during the week and wanted to get done as quickly so he could get back home. When going over the project he quoted me a price minus the electrical and we said...

    Petit

    We replaced out LW4000 last year with a Petit. Tear out and install took about 7 working days with us installing new pvc panels in the bay one of those days. We had an electrician on site for about 3 of those days. The distributor who did ours had 4 guys there the first two days and just one...

    Yet it is retroactive going back to an expired policy, I am stuck since I paid it in full for the year. If i cancel now they will just keep the balance on my statement and refund the difference.

    New Biz Insurance

    We switched insurance companies about 2 years ago. Our renewal date was 4-28-22, and at the end of May the insurance company asked us for an audit of pervious 12 months in sales. I submitted that and our sales were up from the previous stated annual sales. We received a bill for the increase...

    Water Heaters Rheem Commercial versus Lochinvar

    We installed a couple of American Poloris 199BTU water heaters back in 2004. We went that route since the tanks are made of stainless. We have replaced a few ignitors, and both blower motors. The parts pretty expensive but the heaters are still going strong. They are a high efficient water...

    I can't agree more. I have spoken with Don on the phone a few times and was impressed with him. Just have been hesitant to pull the trigger. Hopefully they will get the issues worked out. Our chemical rep has had his on order for many months. I think his patience is wearing thin as well...

    Dencar Pay Stations

    We were looking into them as well. I know of a couple units that have been on order for quite a long time and they have missed the scheduled delivery date by months. Not sure if they had issues getting all the parts or if they had issues with the units they have shipped out. I would love to...

    Just reading through some of the posts and noticed you have had some issues with Dencar. We were looking into those units a while back and are still waiting. Our chemical rep owns several wash locations and has had a Dencar unit on order for sometime now. What issues did you run into? Thanks Ryan

    Petit automatic

    Our Petit top wash is an 8 pass wash. Start of undercarriage until dryer is complete is about 5:30. Dryer is set at 1 min. Depending on what wash packages are purchased we average around 15-16 cars per hour on the days when cars are lined up. I think the most we have run thru in one hour is...

    Petit Setup

    We have four different wash packages at our wash. Our top wash is 8 pass, 2nd package is 6 pass and bottom two are 4 pass washes. The bottom two are very fast, we were worried about customer perception being that quick. Nobody has complained yet. Top wash LPH soap HPH soap Dwell pass...

    laser 4000 impact

    We had an issue somewhat similar but it would only happened on HP passes. Turned out to be the bridge rollers were worn and the machine was drifting and missing a some of the pulse bar and it was moving across the front of the vehicles.

    Question about chemical application order in a touch free

    We currently run our TF right after our 2nd low pressure soap pass. We then run a HP rinse and follow that with a HP wax. We changed this year and I think the added dwell time has helped. Only problem is now we need to find a way to purge those TF lines during cold weather. We currently run...
