    New Owner and retro fit!

    I do not know why this quarter thing is beat to death on this forum. SWITCH completely to $1 high security tokens and the issue is solved. It also reminds customers to revisit your wash soon, as they have those extra tokens in their cup holder. Or if those tokens "walk" away, that is fine too.

    Eaton Motor Failures

    Different motors- but yes. I use 101-1011s and 101-1012s. Original equipment motors lasted 6-10 years. Replacements going 1-2 years, Occasionally less than 1 year. By failing for me, I mean leaking oil badly around shaft. (this is on in-bay rollovers) Oh--I just looked up your 1008. That is...

    VAC IT UP SYSTEM Questions

    When I have a clog out on the long runs I do this: I have a 100 ft 1/2 inch 200 psi air/water line. I hook one end to the bottom of my air compressor, the other to the 1.25 inch vac-it-up line (I use pvc 1/2" by 1.25" female adapter, glued in a 1.25" coupling) I attach this fitting to vac-it-up...

    how long will a cat 620/3 pump last

    I have 7 CAT 623 units in service that were installed in 1974. I have no intentions of replacing, as they work just fine. I just did have one of the Sterling 3 hp motors burn up, though.

    VAC IT UP SYSTEM Questions

    I have vac-it-up at 4 locations. I would not build a wash without it. 2 washes have it for bays and vacs, and 2 washes have it for bays only. It is worth the extra money to run it out to vacs. I give A++. Systems installed since 2000.

    American 8001 robbed

    Do you have your door switch hooked up?? If your door switch is not hooked up, someone could simply put in the programming code and hit dump to empty out the machine. NEVER unhook or leave unhooked the door switch. I test my frequently to make sure programming code can not be entered while door...

    MiFi Internet

    Put a little digital timer on the power supply to the modem. Have it power down for 1 minute at 5 a.m.; there- it is reset. (instead of 15 minutes from mechanical timer)

    Theft / vandalism in desperate times

    Switch to $1 high security tokens, then you remove most of the quarters for which they are breaking into safes. If you remove the incentive, you will cut down on the attempts to break in. I dispense only $1 tokens on my five sites; this includes the auto cashiers. No validator break-ins, no safe...

    Cat Pump cup replacement keeps failing???

    I stopped ordering just the rubber and oring because it is such a p.i.a. to get on and seated properly, even with that so called tool. I just order the whole assembly kit for $18.20. Then I know it is right. They do not need replacing that often, anyhow.

    Coin Shortage??????

    Geeez! guys. This has been solved. As Bandit said---use 100% high security tokens. YOU ARE NOT A PUBLIC CHANGE SERVICE. I dispense nothing but tokens at my site; including the auto cashiers. I actually take $2-3k in quarters to the bank every week for deposit. Walk off tokens pays for my...

    Customer complains that ss high pressure removed clear coat. Help me respond plz

    My bay signs say maintain 10 inches from all surfaces. Yet, I see folks all the time with the nozzle an inch or two from the surface. If there is a chip in the clear coat/paint it will peel like an onion, just like Randy said. The few instances I have had this, I just show them the video of...

    CAT 5CP No Pressure

    Kleen-Rite resleeves all nine ports for $190. Turn around for me has been about 3 weeks or less. I stopped redeeming the one time warranty on the 5 cps because the replacement would always wash out around 2 years. At this point, every 5 cp and several 310s have been resleeved by KR. I just...

    Another “incident”

    Wow , that sucks. Progressive paid me right away within one week of sending them the service bill; full amount for replacement of panels with labor- no depreciation. Do not let them depreciate. Doors are not something you would routinely replace.
