Birmingham Water Works – How About Sending me a Check?
What do you think happened when we were OVER CHARGED for water? Did we get a refund check? No! Did we still have to pay the bill? Yes! And then we get a credit on the bill for 4 months and counting! I wonder what happens if I don’t pay one month?
CoinCo Mag50BB-ANTI Bill Acceptor SUCKS?
Is it a “feature” when they run forever when a bill is stuck?
I Finally Did It!
I purchased a sign to replace the old crusty sign. It was really easy to remove also.
Best Find Ever?
Okay so I found this DVD in the garbage. Usually I take the previous owners opinion on the objects I find in the garbage cans and just throw it in the dumpster. But this time I saw a DVD with a fox on it. I like foxes and the title was FOX NO HOLES BARRED! Not really sure what that meant but I thought why not give it a try? So I brought it home and found out that it wasn’t about foxes at all! It was about females! It had no plot and they took their clothing off really fast (not sure why maybe it was hot outside?). Another thing weird was there was blurred out areas around where the males and females took their pants off! It was really weird!
I Hate This!
I really hate this. But on the other hand this looked like it was going to break any second. I guess these need to be replaced every so often? Or maybe it should just not get run over?

Do you want to net $60,000 a month?
Do you have $7,900,000? If so, you can buy a Full Service Hand Car Wash + Oil Change. It is obviously on a major busy commercial Street. Check out the website it was interesting: carwash777.com

Article on Going Green!
I always love articles on going green! This one was interesting though. Found it from here: carwash.com

The results :
¢ Self-service car washes typically use about 17 gallons per vehicle, depending on the type of nozzle on it
¢ In-bay car washes, at gas stations, use about 20 to 40 gallons per vehicle
¢ The full service car washes can use up to 60 gallons per vehicle
¢ Washing it on own, in the driveway, can take more than 100 gallons per vehicle
NEW Currency!
I sure miss the days when the Government kept coming out with new bills every year! They need to redo the one dollar bill!

The sign says “ENOUGH MEAT FOR 50 MEALS $99.99″ what kind of meat would this consist of? Sounds scary…….. but I’ll eat it!

I really like the name of this carwash. DUCK in Car Wash (215 Aerenson Dr, Milford, DE 19963) but unfortunately no website yet. Yes it is really a carwash; it is a full service carwash.
New Product for Lowes?
Look what Lowes is selling now! 96″ fluorescent lights with the crappy T12 connections I thought you could only purchase at Grainger. But be sure to check all the bulbs… I purchased a whole bunch and got different kinds!

I just built a system that fixes the problem of pressure you are referring to. The answer is 2 fold. 1.VFD+ Pressure 2.Monitoring Sensor. Set up where VFD runs at say "40%" putting out 150psi. Then have a sensor that is inline (before manifold) to when a second bay calls for product, and pressure drops, it senses this, and increases the VFD to say 50% to make up for the difference, and retain the 150psi. So on, and so forth depending on how many bays you have. It will take some tweaking, but once it is set, it is set. Also, you only can have a maximum of 5 ports open at once, even if you have 6 different functions, as each bay can only have one selection running at any given time. Email me, and I can give you more info, and / or if you want to buy one rather than build one. It is a very expensive "trial and error" job, as the VFD, pump, and sensor have to do the job right, and give the correct pressures. They will not share any of their tech, as they want us all to buy from ...
Did you know.... You can purchase the "quick disconnect" injectors from "Hydraflex™®? ©" (don't want to infringe on ™®? or © :P) , however you cannot purchase the quick disconnect adapters from them. Hmmmmm? Isn't that nice? Why not? Oh, that's right you can, if you purchase one of their "Aqualab™®? ©." TEN THOUSAND dollar units. Then, they will sell replacement parts for it, which include the quick disconnect fittings. Very frustrating to say the least. IN A STORY NOT RELATED -> If you want to never ever ever worry about check valves again, look into the icheck magnum series which you can buy from Kleen Rite (low ph, high ph, and high pressure) Also, if you are tired of replacing brittle, cracked, sun-drenched, winter haggard poly line, step up and buy the parker (or equiv.) "air brake" line (type B, reinforced). it will last for over 20 years in a carwash, and will outlast stainless steel when running corrosive product thru. I have been running HF thru it for over...
I love your sense of humor, but everything is in the details of any business what separates the strong from the weak is just a few minor details. But that few can be huge, for instance I love Arbys for their sandwiches, but many years ago their facilities were just run down and dirty, back then I would never go to the bathroom in one. Instead I went to Mcdonald's to go the rest room. Now in current time Arby's has gotten the idea that a very clean and modern facility with upgraded equipment will bring in customers. They even have open wifi in many, so that being said a business is the true salesperson it projects an image. Now one must ask yourself what image do you want to project to the public. You yoursef as a owner of a car wash or any business must be the salesman, because without a sale no one has a job. Mike...
I don't think you read the post. Maybe since your not a car wash owner you didn't get the joke? But your a sales person so... :) Maybe in Ohio the government is more restrictive I don't know? But when the government lets people start businesses that they want. Unforgettably to many people have built car washes because of sales people. Which makes them bad investments... so depending where someone is from you will get your desired remarks. Also you are selling a high priced item so only car washes with money would call you... another fact. So of course they would be making money. I also disagree with 90% of your statements except the place should be clean. You do not have to purchase top "knotch" equipment. You can run a super car wash with any equipment on the market. But again your a sales person. :) But I strangely want to purchase a boiler now.... JK LOL :)...
I have met many car wash owners that do make money in the car wash industry. Here is what I have found they are very organized, they buy top knotch equipment, they maintain it everyday, they check their water everyday, they ask for help when needed. Many are true salespeople they get out and meet the customers give them hugs and attend community events. And lets not forgot about having a very clean facility, customers love neatness.
