    Weep Draining Low Pressure Chemical

    Here’s a photo of the set up. It’s a drying agent that is siphoning out. The weep is not backflow into the tank. It is a flow jet pump. Each chemical has its own pump.

    Weep Draining Low Pressure Chemical

    I have an issue on my self-serve that when the temperature is cold my one low pressure chemical disappears overnight. I think for some reason the weep system is causing it to siphon out or causing one of the solenoids to open causing the flojet to run. I can’t figure it out. I’m getting tired...

    South East PA Car Wash Theft/Vandalism

    Anyone else been robbed in the last few weeks in Southeast Pennsylvania? Two washes near me were robbed days apart and I think the more information we can get to the police departments the better chance of getting these people behind bars.

    Are the boxes large enough to add cash acceptance in the bays? Credit Card is a must. I use cryptopay. For the rotary switch I put in the IDX ps 200, while it was a bit expensive, I am pleased with the results. It was cheaper than new meter boxes if your boxes are large enough to do add cash...

    RIP MEP001 You will be missed

    MITSUBISHI CONTROLLER REPAIRS

    There is a shop near me in PA that fixed my Mitsubishi controller when a relay went bad. Very fair prices. Sensenig Electronic Repair in Ephrata. Not sure where you are located but you could probably ship it to him and get it repaired. The shop is run by a family that is similar to the Amish so...

    Vacuum dirt keeps getting robbed

    Put up some cameras and call the cops. Vandalism and theft. The people that rob car washes are the same people that are committing all the other crime.

    What would you do?

    I built a 4ss and 1 IBA in 2018. With all the permitting, paperwork, and land development in todays market 500 is pretty good. My traffic count is comparable and no other shopping destinations nearby and I am happy with my results.

    Repair services / companies

    It’s all fun! :) I’m in southeast PA. If you want me to stop out at your place sometime I might be able to do that. I enjoy the industry.

    He is not familiar with the car wash industry, but will be after a few months :) I was there with him today explaining PLC, contactors, solenoids, VFD, HMI, 3 phase etc…

    Repair services / companies

    I have a similar situation, 4 SS and one IBA. Wash is a side hobby for me as I fly private jet for a job. I have a retired gentleman that does the day to day, collects money, clean up bays etc. Without him I would not be able to do it. I pay him accordingly. Think well above $20 and worth every...

    Anyone using LPR license plate readers?

    Not a bad idea, but if I can’t get the local PD to get me the customers information it somewhat looses its intended purpose. Maybe I have to get an attorney to make a sign for me 🤷‍♂️

    Anyone using LPR license plate readers?

    I agree with you that getting license plates is relatively useless, can’t do anything with it and I am in the state of Pennsylvania. I think there should be a workaround for this. If the car wash industry as a group or association would implement some type of signage/verbiage that states you are...

    Who cuts power to service vac motors? Just don’t touch the wrong side of the relay. 🤷‍♂️

    Good Deal on SS Wash?

    Does that 6.5 just the business or include the real estate? Seems cheap to me.

    Question: How have self serve customers changed over the years?

    I recently (going on three years) started a self serve car wash with one IBA. It was on a property that was a car wash but was very run down. Rebuilt in the same location and many neighbors told me about the issues I would have with local low lifes. They were correct. I installed a high quality...
