    Vending Prices

    I agree. I went to $3 on all bottles/cans a while back. Went $2 on a bunch of other items, as well. Amazingly, vending revenue has more than doubled. I did stick with $1 on little trees and cheap towels/shams, though.

    Self Serve 1034R timer resets when tire cleaner is selected

    First easy check is to pull the power wire to the tire cleaner solenoid for that bay.(In equipment room) Then try to turn switch to tire cleaner. I have had solenoids go bad, then reset the timer when you choose that function. If it is not the product one, check the air solenoid same way...

    PURWATER reclaim

    Purclean offers ozone, but I already had an ozone unit from an old Con-Serv. So I did not buy theirs, but incorporated the one I already had. The timer thing I came up with myself. A 5hp pump is supposed to circulate the water 24/7 to prevent odor. The unit does re-circ 24/7. The odor comes...

    PURWATER reclaim

    Just to clarify-- I have hp pumps on both of the Nu*Star machines. I also have ozone injection (12 g/hr). This takes care off any and all smells, and actually gives the water a "fresh" aroma. Also, I have a timer on my machines that flush the lines with new reclaim water. So if machine is...

    I have one. Nothing but happy with it. I have the 60gpm with the 3 hp motor. It is feeding 2 Nu*Star cloth/foam automatics. Do not know Ziposhine.

    Foam staing vehicles

    Forgot to mention---I would dump that product and get something else. I used a cheap FB/tri-foam product way back that did this. Boy was I sorry. It was only the red, but I got rid of them all and changed to another supplier.

    ACW lost my settings???

    Randy- I am having the same memory issue. Has happened only a couple times. Can I not pull that board and solder battery on? It can't be that hard Or can I rig up an uninterruptable power supply to prevent any quick outage or surge or brown out? I have UPSs on all my American Changer...

    What am I missing here?

    That question is easy--the Dumbocrats are letting their future voters in. Never too early to start buying votes by giving plenty of free stuff; paid for by us hard working folks.

    License tag look up service

    In my younger days, I would agree with you. But in our stupid, liberal society if I did anything to him, I would be the one getting charged while the vandal walked free. It is sad, but true.

    License tag look up service

    Destroyed the coin boxes on three vacuums. Found the vehicle and tag from pictures I posted with a reward. Can't get the cops to do crap. So I am taking it upon myself. A$$hole stays just 5 minutes from my house, but the vehicle is registered in the next state. So I am trying to use a...

    License tag look up service

    Is anyone a member of one of the tag look up services that charge a monthly fee? I have a single Maryland tag that I need the vehicle owner's information. But I do not want to join a monthly service. I will pay someone's 1 month if they will provide it for me. PM me if there are any takers...

    hamilton hoppers

    Your hopper probably needs a rebuild. If it is old, and has never been done, that is probably it. It will be $300-350. I just had all mine done cause of same issue. They were all 10+ years old. New motors and plastic housing (bowl) is now making them work like new.

    Whoa ! My automatic got hit, and the salesman says it'e toast

    Depends who is footing the bill. The driver's insurance--then new unit, of course; then old one for parts. Car wash owner's insurance--then maybe try to repair.

    WW 1.0 prox counts

    Right now they are both set to 8. I assume once eyes make either way, then it counts 8 pulses and stops. I was just wanting to get it a little closer to the rear, but wanted to see what others have it set on. I have a Suburban, and it seems the rear glass just does not get a clean as I would...

    For those CFL converts…

    It is weird. I have had a few fail in the 5-8 month period. And then I have some that have been in 4 years. That is about 21,000 hours on my burn schedule. (They are rated for 10,000 hours) It is still the easiest, and best deal going. You get nice,bright white light. And it stays that way...
