    Credit card for change machine

    I would hate to try to educate all the customers on a count up timer, I am in an area where there are a lot of non-English speaking people, and would end up getting a bunch of back charges, tike I already do with the wash CC readers.

    Credit card for change machine

    I am looking to add a CC swiper, tap, and even chip if available to my Rowe BC1400 with the Mars acceptor conversion. I dispense tokens, and have reads in the bays, but cannot justify CC readers on vending machine and vacuum since they do not produce enough revenue, and the reader do not always...

    Floejet pump

    Vitron is what Kleen rite suggests, for harsh chemicals. Dryer works fine. I did order a few dryers and will install right at the pump. hopefully that works. It's just weird that I never had this issue for 20 years and now the last 3-4 years I have nothing but issues. Thanks for input. Jason

    Floejet pump

    I have a refrigerant dryer at compressor, and an automatic drain valve, I will try to add the modular air filter at flojet. It is just weird I never had this issue even before I add the dryer at compressor.

    Floejet pump

    In the past four years it seems that the Flojet pumps are failing at a very high rate. I bet I am not getting 5 months tops out of them on the foam brush, I just replaced one that was only 101 days old. I do use the Vitron style. Kleen rite ask me if I use a Hydo minder, which I do. Not sure...

    Crytopay reader repairs

    I have sent the readers in at least five to six times in about the six years I have had them. I only have four bays and purchased two extra so that when they are down my bay isn't down for CC. Now I have one that they won't repair and one that the button does not light up, but still works. Not...

    Crytopay reader repairs

    I am being told that they are no longer repairing any readers with serial number SW 16000 or lower. those are roughly 5 years and older. Is there anyone out there repairing them besides them? I have four readers that are from around that time and don't want to spend $400.00 every time one...

    Photo Eyes for Self Serve wash doors

    Yes it has the counter weight set up, not sure how your strapeze work but I do believe they are the same. Setting the eye angle is not an issue, they have a very wide range. That's not an issue, and there is a lock out system once the doors are shut. So if someone or something break the beam...

    Photo Eyes for Self Serve wash doors

    Fails to close 100% of the time. You can pull out the amplifier and they will operate on the timer but no protection if the door comes down and a car is driving out. I'll shut the bay down before I would run like that. Fortunately I will get a call from my alarm company to notify me that a door...

    Foam brush problems

    I"m at about 5 grains before softener as well, and 0-1 after. When my 30 year old softener took a crap a couple years ago, for three weeks I had to bump up my soap to like 35-1. The soap cost was killing me. I have done the math and the softener paid for itself in less then two years, Just in...
