That Lava arch needs some adjustment

You generally always want them run in series (wastewater from 1 into second membrane, wastewater from 2 into 3rd) because you reduce waste water and increase output. With 3HP you could probably do 4 membranes. Which you could split into two parallel systems running in series and still maintain...

I'm not a huge Beacon fan but how is it not viable for your size of business? The way you describe your wash you fit their customer demo pretty well.

I know this area well and unless you are a highly experienced operator you are going to struggle to compete with some of the big players in the area (ie, Woodies Wash Shack). I would guess 4mil+ in this environment to build new. TB real estate isn't getting any cheaper.

Sent you a PM. Owning a Karcher is sort of like living with a high maintenance girlfriend...

This whole thread reinforces the reasoning behind going cashless. Of those that selected "none", how many are cashless? At a point it's not worth the headache. The cost of the break-ins exceeds the cash revenue (be it wasted time, equipment restoration cost, or lost money). Every state needs...

Yes. End user still has to wire it and set the pressure.

You need to add an option that says none...

Not always for the best. Distributors being acquired over the last few years has made life much harder for small operators as most these companies are now seeking larger accounts and clients.

My main criticism of the KL2 is where the arms come together you end up with an area of the car that doesn't get washed. The changeover time during HP rinse also takes too long on the ones I have been through. Depending on how you setup/order a KL1 you can run cars through just as fast as a...

KL1 is a good machine (I like it better than the KL2 design). If I remember correctly Belanger is running a promo on these at the moment.

Is the one that is installed correctly. Some of you will understand what I mean by that.

Maintenance seems low for a wash doing 640k. My guess is they are doing a lot of work themselves and not putting it on the books. You having no experience are probably going to spend triple that year 1. Sent you a PM.

Most people do not have enough experience with other dryer setups so they just don't know any better. Once they see the price they are sold on the cheaper options. I am sure equipment sales people are half the problem. At the end of the day Premier is half the cost of the competition...for...

Does the new design actually dry cars? You get what you pay for with dryers. Disappointment guaranteed with a 3 - 10hp Premier setup. Highly recommend Belanger or Ryko.

Dencar doesn't do this...and I am pretty sure OP has a C-store so Dencar might not be the fit they are looking for. 🤦‍♂️

You need IP65 or better for a bay. Even then, IP65 might be dicey and I doubt they will warranty it if they find out where you put it. If you find something that is IP67 it will probably be $$$$. I want to see pictures if you do it. Great idea if you find something.

You will not reach the flow rate required for a Petit to properly disperse PS onto the car with good coverage. They use such a large nozzle you need higher pressure and more flow. If you wanted to run lower pressure (to an extent) you could but you would need to slow your PS passes down. For...

This thread is about EV charging stations at a car wash, not your personal opinion about EV's in general. You can stick your head in a hole and ignore the current automotive trends and government regulations being passed across the world. But ignorance is not bliss. EV's will be the future...

We need more municipalities to enforce this. Some people can get away with everything...including introducing PFAS into our water supply since the 1960s
