This thread has got me thinking. I wonder if I've been running my unit at less than an "efficient" mode. I had a 1 membrane Applied Membranes unit that was expanded to 2 membranes decades ago (when I added an additional automatic bay). The motor/pump was also up-sized. I've been running the...

I used an aftermarket display similar to this: AMS Sensit 2 or 3 LED Display Board – Aftermarket | Snack Attack Vending LLC Vending Machine Service (snackattacknow.com) I believe it's a Winstar EH 1602A. Double check. I found this in my files: 16x2 Dot Matrix Characters VFD Display...

Ditto on using Nu-Wall. Be careful. The original version has HF.....works great, but is dangerous stuff. Don't get in a hurry to paint the walls. Painted walls in a car wash usually ends in disaster.

My compressor has a automatic drain that fires every 45 minutes. Even after running the air through an ARO water separator, I would still get icing in my ARO pumps. The aforementioned aftercooler was what was finally needed to eliminate moisture from the air lines.

Here'a a link to an old thread. (11) Removing Air Line Moisture | Car Wash Forum The pictures are long gone, but there's a lot of useful information. An aftercooler will condense the moisture, and give you dry air.

I bought Trash Receptacles from Wausau Tile 15+ years ago. Not cheap, but only paid once. They still look great.

Bad Check Valve somewhere...

I received some parts from them last week......
