    Credit Card Acceptance

    It's been at least a couple years since I last talked to someone at Washgear. They were willing to work with me to create a meter box and replacement doors that incorporate their system, but now that everyone is moving to tap I don't see that happening.

    Hamilton coin hopper

    This might be the hopper payout switch failing. Read the error code off the controller and write it down each time. https://www.hamiltonmfg.com/download-package/c2000-controller-operational-manual-101-0009/ Are you missing a lot of quarters, or did one side shut down and was still full?

    IDX MA850 madness and tire clean turn on itself

    It's something in the wiring. I think you have multiple problems causing this. It's going to be something relatively simple. Follow the low voltage wires and make sure nothing looks obviously wrong at any of the junctions. If you aren't taking tokens or dollar coins, I'd recommend a Sensortron.

    The biggest risk I have taken as a self serve owner….

    If only it wasn't true...it was the first time I ever really worried I'd find a body. Since then I found a guy dying in an abandoned car on my lot.

    Help! Led 7 issues

    This could affect his setup, but only if the bill acceptor is connected to the AUX input. If he has a bill acceptor that can only pulse once per $1 bill or five times for a $5, he'd have to set the AUX to 4, but if the bill acceptor sends 4 pulses per $1 value he'd have to set AUX to 1.

    Help! Led 7 issues

    Just go through each setting and write them down. A video won't help, your camera won't display the LEDs.

    Help! Led 7 issues

    So maybe post the settings so we can figure it out, otherwise no one can help. I don't know what you mean by "set bonus time down."

    Help! Led 7 issues

    Go over the settings with the manual in case you changed something you shouldn't have. You might want to write down each setting and post them here. https://dixmor.com/TIMER%20PDF/LED7%20V7.33.pdf

    "It rained mud last night!"

    I filled my changer Friday morning and it was almost empty this morning, and still took home a $500 surplus in quarters. Also, had a customer tell me I'm not charging enough.

    Another lucky break #2

    I had three within 45 minutes this morning.

    I love Pollen!

    Ours usually comes in the middle of March. Sometimes it's great, enough to turn the sky greenish yellow. One year recently it rained really heavily the first night, rinsed the pollen out of the trees and off the cars and killed that month. The only month I've had that was worse was when I was...

    IDX MA850 madness and tire clean turn on itself

    The tire cleaner issue is because of debris in the solenoid. The coin acceptor's gate is stuck or the gate coil is bad. IDX is junk.

    Another lucky break #2

    This is why it's important to have "tow away zone" signs posted. I don't know what the requirements are for California, but here I would need a contract with a towing company and a sign that details the conditions of an unwanted vehicle and the name/phone number of the company. With that done...

    "It rained mud last night!"

    That's what a customer said. We were expecting a hard downpour Thursday night, but we got a lot of wind and a very brief rain. Almost every car is covered in dirt.

    When I see a bucket washer in one of my bays, I _____________________________________________

    If someone goes that far I call the police right next to them so they can hear. Nearly every time, when they hear me read off their license plate they pack up and leave fast. I make note of their plate and if they come back I call the police out of earshot and have a criminal trespass warrant...

    Kleen Pac Hyper Concentrates

    I don't know, I never go by recommended dilution because most product I've used tends to be recommended too weak. Most of what I use I mix two products together that makes something better than either product by itself. If I were to try one of these, I'd have to play around with it for a while...

    Kleen Pac Hyper Concentrates

    If you're using a Hydrominder, you either have to mix them or use an ultra-lean setup. The dilutions they show aren't possible with a Hydrominder. A Dosatron or DEMA Mix-Rite could pull directly from the jugs.

    Cost/min for self serve products

    From your private message to me: The fact that you're asking about a semi truck and trailer wash makes any guesstimate from a self serve operator completely useless. That's definitely something you should have mentioned in your post.

    Fittings leaking

    Can you not put a strainer like this in the tank? This will fit over a 1" thread. https://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-134-smc-3990610-basket-strainer-40-mesh-1-inch-mip-or-1-1-4-inch-barb.aspx

    Cost/min for self serve products

    Then you should at least know that you can't estimate it with any degree of accuracy without having some idea of chemical cost and equipment setup, rough idea of what functions are used the most, etc. I could tell you my cost/minute, but it'll take me a couple months to figure it out, and I'm...
