    Fill in the Blank: Owning a car wash in 2020____________________________________

    Debra & others, ... thankfully a year when the price of gas & diesel has remained relatively low & the weather has been reasonably self service car wash friendly! We have also noticed as inflation creeps upward .... $5 bills & higher in our in bay bill validators are increasing from the...

    Cashless

    For the record ... MEP001 has once again not only mischaracterized & distorted worthwhile input ... but actually went so far as to misquote.

    how long will a cat 620/3 pump last

    Just a thought ... because there are some extremely compelling alternatives such as "Arimitsu Pumps" the odds are pretty good that "Cat Quality" will continue.

    Futura Manual

    I have not sent any Private Messages (PMs) lately ... but hopefully the forum will still allow you to send a PM to ekowest. Maybe one of the moderators can help if you have difficulty sending a PM to ekowest. In the past ... PMs included a nifty notification to the receiver's email??? I had...

    Cashless

    Greg_T, Thanks for sharing your "hands on" very relevant information about your $2 coin vs the 10 x 20c only. As far as Covid-19 mitigation world wide awareness .... "length of time it survives on various surfaces" can potentially save lives IMHO.

    Futura Manual

    Jriddell, Hopefully, ekowest can forward to you what I sent him on 6-8-2020. Otherwise, it looks like the digging in old computer files or even the need to scan in the manual again might be more time than I have at the moment. It appears like this forum's pm archive retrieval capabilities...

    Cashless

    Greg_T, I can't help but think that the fact that because Australian operators ... especially for self service bay only operators ... are able to optionally use your $1 & $2 coins that it provides a healthy incentive tension for the credit card processing executives to keep their "current norm...

    Arkansas idiot drives trailer in new Razor

    Hopefully, the claim did not add cost to you in future increased insurance premiums. The fact that his insurance paid should have worked in your favor. It seems like sometimes it can get dicey on how insurance adjusters &/or some court does their final ruling on who shoulders the most...

    VAC IT UP SYSTEM Questions

    There used to be a number of Canadian Operators on this forum ... not sure how many left? I specifically was referring Canadian Operators which would mean Loonies & Toonies. But now that brought it up ... it could logically apply to dollar coins. Thanks for your suggestion!

    VAC IT UP SYSTEM Questions

    The good news the clog was rare. I can't help wondering if any Canadian operators have the system & it there is any difference when larger coins are also vac'd up & not just quarters.

    building stud walls inside car wash bay

    In the past when I have had questions similar to that & possibly for exploring even more options ... I actually touched base with not just more than one structural engineer but several ... also with a specific local building inspector who through local grapevine information had proven himself to...

    Cashless

    Debra & others, I answered "no" on your poll. Since we are just self service we would need 50-75 "merchant fee" receptacles needed to be consistent (thereby IMHO less confusing) on all of our "customer use" pieces of equipment ... we have chosen (+ 7 years) to have a "readily available &...

    Drilling 1/2" hole through stainless

    Some larger hole drilling jobs that we do not want the drill to stall from the recommended "low speed" pressure on the stainless steel ... we have a very powerful Hitachi drill we bought at Lowes that we sometimes resort to. Warning ... how is your upper arm & shoulder strength? After...

    No Cash Credit Cards Only.

    On the flip side I have heard of accepting of cash mandatory in jurisdictions. Our local gov't regulations do not require that. I think that for some operations such as Sam's Club Gas I hope there will always be a "no cash allowed" exemption for them ... because I like not only the...

    What type of water heater ?

    I see they are available at Lowes & even Amazon. I wonder what kind of long term durability reviews they will eventually have?

    Kleenrite rewards

    Greg, Thanks for reminding us of the 40# box - 7.5K rewards. Do they show on their website or anywhere else in writing ... a stipulation on the dimensions of the box? I have never used the 40# box free shipping option but I may in the future rather than waiting a bit too long (parts wise)...

    Kleenrite rewards

    Reviews give us a chance to share the +'s & -'s of a product that might encourage vendors to keep the product the same or eventually change for the better. As far as the 1K points it amounts to only $1 in Kleen Kash but it could be just enough to get a person over a threshold. As far as faking...

    CoinCo Mag getting strung

    Hopefully, the merger of SuzoHapp & Coinco will be some help towards "healthy competition" considering what Randy said about CPI Mars/MEI.
