    What system/model is this?

    D/H stands for Dilling-Harris. I think they have gone out of business.

    Mark VII Chemicals

    Back when I used their Miracle +, I believe it was a Blue Coral product. For some reason they stopped selling that product and I had to use something else, but I’m not sure if it was discontinued or they stopped using Blue Coral.

    Break-aways

    What OurTown said. I actually cut a notch out of washers, so I could just loosen the bolts and slip them in like alignment shims for a car. Makes it a little easier, especially if you need to install multiple shims.

    Break-aways

    This is usually caused by booms that don't swing back to the wall very well. Fix that, and most of your broken wand issues will go away.

    Here’s the satellite view of the wash (Safari Falls). Pretty much the concrete, is all of the lot.

    How much land do you need?

    In 1990 we built a 4 bay SS on a 95' wide x 150' deep lot. We got a variance to put one end of the building on the property line, but had we not, we would have just built a 3 bay. 14 years later, we converted the bay closest to the equipment room to an auto. It's still in business today.

    difficulties with microcoin setup

    Correct me if I am wrong, but the old way pretty much limited you to a value of $2.50 (10 times the 25¢). I can see a scenario with someone wanting to have a higher value token than $2.50.

    HELP! newbie in Michigan

    First off, what type of car wash do you want? You say tunnel, but 45' length says in bay automatic. Usually tunnels are much longer and house a conveyor to move the car along, and the equipment is stationary. In an in bay automatic, the car is parked and the equipment moves over and around the...

    Car wash signage suggestions?

    If you do this, I wouldn't go crazy with the amount of washing you would trade for it. 7K traffic is nothing to jump up in the night and scream about, and you aren't even on that road. You can't fix a bad location, so don't go crazy trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. You've got what...

    Cat 310 valve replacement

    The white plastic piece is supposed to be split. If you had missing o-rings on the valves, you can count on the head being washed out, and you will be back in there soon. What did the o-ring mating surfaces look like?

    Pump Replacement

    I think the plan was for the 5CP to replace the 310. I think they got pushback for planning to drop the 310 and ended up keeping it around. The 5CP is definitely easier to work on, but the 310 is more durable. Just my 2¢
