    What type of water heater ?

    Another variable for specific city & town incoming water is the time of year if you delve a bit deeper. I don't have the charts in front of me right now but since we have cooled our dog wash & laundromat air temperatures via modified heat exchangers during our cooling season (over 10 years...

    What type of water heater ?

    How icy cold the inlet tap water from the specific car wash's location might be a consideration.

    Possible setup to use multiple tips on 1 Hydrominder?

    We successfully did closer to what Paul did specifically for many years. When the local competition in our city became of the nature of more pampering in terms of both doors allowed shut for each customer while washing in those types of temperatures ... made the dual set up less practical for...

    Haunted car wash...

    JacksonV & others, Thanks for the "COOL Web Link". Yesterday, when I went out for my older person "fresh air walk" ... it was plenty breezy. At a closeby area residence with young children they had gigantic air characters that the wind made unbelievably life like. Blow is a short video clip...

    VAC IT UP SYSTEM Questions

    Something that needs to be corrected & yes that is actually IMHO one of the roles gov't at every level should be part of! Like gross receipt tax legislation correction ... it should not happen by feeble & misleading anonymous citizens on internet forums that allow "fixing in & altering of...

    Politicians on the take? One TX carwash

    It looks like an opportunity for electing some new local leadership ... especially if there are enough similar to John Stossel within the media who aren't "bought sold & paid for". Let the record show that ... I was unfairly misquoted of the above by MEP001 after the directly above post. It...

    VAC IT UP SYSTEM Questions

    FWIW & possibly relevant ... some self service coin op laundromat owners have successfully went to giving out dollar coins only & only accepting dollar coins. That helped the "too small" of vaults &/or coin box problem. Of course there are other "usually merchant fee" related alternatives...

    Does adding additional bays make sense?

    Just to add a thought ... bids from contractors & cost of ER add'l equipment might be proportionally less costly than "just adding 1 bay". I visited a car wash when I was in Houston, TX that was like that ... even on a rainy day they were packed. They probably wished they had the room to...

    Does adding additional bays make sense?

    If that is your local situation & you are located in not as a "rough & tumble" severe wintertime area like us ... I would say at least get some bids from a few contractors to see how costly it would be to add the 3 extra bays. Pumping stands have become more compact in recent years ... so ER...

    Etowah Valley Old Faithful glass front

    Just thinking out loud ... I wonder now that Coinco has merged with SuzoHapp if there could be some future improvements?!

    Warnings You Would Give Me Letting Large Crowds of Youth "Loiter" at the SS?

    There is a small fast food place about a block from us that have had for over 20 years during summer months an every Wednesday night gathering of a local "pioneer 'buggy n blues' car club". It works out well for the very large parking fast food restuarant & actually we get some benefit too. As...

    Best Salt Brand for Water Softener

    We will keep our local Lowes in mind ... it is kind of dependent on their local stocking policy for the Morton Clean & Protect. I see 10+ bags get a 10% volume discount but no current stock??? I just signed up for their "when in stock" email notification though. What complicated our situation...

    Best Salt Brand for Water Softener

    We are very concerned that our Twin Fleck Resin Tanks with one Brine Tank needs to be tweaked within its settings. We had & have no local goto that we know of when it comes to Fleck. If we did ... if they guaranteed their work ... we would gladly pay for their help. Hopefully, our more...

    Best Salt Brand for Water Softener

    It might be overkill but we have been going with the Morton "Clean & Protect" for almost 6 months now. We shop around for who can load our pickup truck with palette with a forklift & who has the best deal at the moment. We have access to forklift at the carwash so that makes things less...

    history of vending machines

    I was fascinated by the LINK'S COVERAGE of both the history & the current reality of vending in Japan. Of course the current reality also includes % of payment methods etc. The following 8-23-19 article (https://www.thejakartapost.com/life/2019/08/22/in-high-tech-japan-cash-is-still-king.html)...

    blaming your president

    At some point Trump had to get aggressive & respond to Biden's smooth manipulation ... ideally there would have been a better way than to go over the 2 minute limit etc. I saw absolutely clear evidence on C-Span & other sources where Biden "clearly drunk with power" boisterously "showing off...

    Looking for a simple alarm system

    We made the two sensors work but it required unnecessary set up time IMHO to adapt to the specific alarm system that the two sensors wired up to. I thought I was kind backing up what Paul said about the "simplicity caveat" that he shared! Apparently not everyone appreciates my specific...

    SIGN - "Garbage Can for Paying Customers Only"

    I am thinking that in some communities those specific taxpayer supported facilities you mentioned are so fenced off-gated that some "oblivious to others' problems" customers & even non customers would still not respond properly when you try to reason with them. Of course we need to never stop...

    Town wants to buy my car wash

    Wow ... my country bumpkin mindset once again shows through. I had no idea that municipalities could a process an eminent domain document. Then the property owners in some cases where the judicial is more pathetic will actually never pay the amount promised based on some legal-academia...
