I also have the add-on box from Jim at Etowah Valley all six bays. If we ever add CC acceptance besides our handy dandy $5 &/or $20 dispensing ATM ... that is where our chip PCI compliant card receptacle will be.

Specific to the two Woodford Hydrants that I have ... I just called Woodford & they said that the following would bypass the anti-siphon: https://buyeagle.biz/products/55434 Special threaded part. That would allow reverse flow. The city & the contractors can cause a bit of extra stress not...

I am not sure if they had a way around that??? I know that the more residential spigots as they did at home all the other residences on the block there was no siphon protection ... that was 2 years ago ... same contractor ... same modern water main replacement process. The several week delay...

I wonder if some of my fellow "water users" ... those of us with more than a just self serve facility have faced the proposition of new water main using their latest techniques. They are currently just starting the late in the season project. I knew from my residence's similar experience that...

On Sunday I tried out the brand new conveyorized Tommy Wash on their best "da works wash". I honestly did not think that my bugs on my front bumper of my Honda Fit were baked on that bad since I keep the vehicle out of the sun most of the time. I noticed it did not get the bugs off as much as...

After a bit more thought about Greg's "useful attention point" from glass tubes breaking ... I still think the before entrance (post 35 within this thread) cylinder should have a way to also be an alarm trigger. I am thinking a tube that when hit at any spot it would close alarm contacts. That...

This forum appears to have a bit more healthy independence than others when it comes to small business. That is more so than I have found on some other forums including some laundry forums & possibly even the US Chamber of Commerce ... so I am sharing what was shared with me this morning. I...

Debra, We moved all our vending indoors within our attached laundromat because of vandalism-theft issues Drinks, snacks etc. We have separate machines for the chemical items ... maybe not a hazard but ... it might give someone an excuse to criticize the lack of separation.

Greg & others, FWIW ... to add maybe a glass breakage sensor could get an immediate loud siren alarm to go off??? That would increase the chance of besides the cameras another customer might help with the identification. We have a glass breakage sensor close to the large thermopane windows...

I have my decibel meter handy. Also there is an app on my phone that serves as a decibel meter. That way I can honestly say my judgement is objective vs subjective. A bigger problem ... so I do not lose my better customers is the extremely offensive vulgarities within the LOUD rap &/or...

Just to add to Greg's approach ... the proximity of the responder of the alarm is critical IMHO ... considering how fast the perps sometimes work ... response time is key! Alarm=>a second or two=>Cell phone call=>some of us &/or our help may live close enough so we don't have to always just...

Akellums1, You did not ask for alternatives to creating "on the coin or bill box barrier" but as long as others said to take the bill acceptors out completely ... I am betting that if your wash was amenable to being able to keep customers out during the likely slower hours ... it could help vs...

That is a valid question since self serve tends to use way less water than the drive throughs from what I have been told! All of our dog & car wash functions are soft bu we draw the line for our three full fill of rinse water on our washing machines in our laundromat. We do not shortchange...

JJJ & others, Without falsely accusing any on this forum when it comes to unintentionally supporting the far left's communist anti small business leaning ... I came across this "shedding of light" on a likely "root cause" of some of their struggles with credit card industry "merchant fee...

We did have an experience of a young man who had temporarily moved here from a big city. Coincidentally from specifically Atlanta ... not that I want to put any city in a bad light because of it. Hard to believe ... but he was a laundromat customer for a few months. We mysteriously had a...

I have a sneaking suspicion that some of the "quiet in the background" car wash owners (engineering life-long learners) in the USA tend to be more successful than some others who might be a bit "too naive". That is why I am hoping before retiring 100% ... to possibly connect with some young...

I see Eric H chose to put his air dryer boom on the wall like us except our center boom has 2 hoses. We already have 2 hoses ... main wash hose & foam brush hose centered with a Z-Boom. Someone told us it would be better to have 3 booms in the center. Has anyone done that? If so ... did they...

I have been known to do something similar but for me there is definitely limits .... by way of level & type of mess etc.

Thanks Randy. That was news to us. Here is another similar link but corroborating your info: https://surveillancesecure.com/what-are-ndaa-compliant-surveillance-cameras/ It could make future camera purchases more expensive??? If a camera is too chinese affiliated ... it seems they tend to...

Time will tell for us on our future long term experience with a "from World Pay Processor to another Processor" switch. Not sure if this post will be appreciated, pertinent &/or relevant but I notice about 8 months ago that our ATM processor who helps monitor for "receptacle-machine errors"...
