There was a time when I could not wait to get rid of the chains and greasable bearings. Last year I converted my 10 doors back to chain drive and greasable bearings. I did not realize what a pia those belts were. Once converted, no issues whatsoever with the chains. I keep the chain lubed...

Those 105 watt cfls just went up in price to $32.52. I paid on $17 a few months ago. That makes the payback not quite as good. I figured a $40 yearly savings over 175 mh. But the bulb life is only 8000 hours; a little less than 2 years on a 12 hour +/- daily burn. Some bs about rare earth...

Go dump the crap on the owners front yard. See what happens to you then when you tell the police that you did not see a sign that says "no dumping". I will bet that would be a different story. Just because there is no specific signs, does not mean that it is ok. Has common sense left us all...

Just had this happen to us. I told my attendant that I rembered reading something about it on the forum. And bam---there it is. A little wiggling on the switches, and I found which one it was and disconnected it for now. Thanks forum members!!

We sell for $10, as well. We just put it on the marquis when I am up to 8 or 10 in storage, then in a week or two they are gone. I wish everything was that easy!

I replace they capacitor everytime I replace a MH bulb. This prolongs ballast life, and it keeps the light oupout like new. I get those at capacitorking.com. About $13-15 each. When I did not do this; the new bulbs were lasting less and less between changes. I was very surprised when I read...

Cancel that previous post--those were for a different unit. The ones I got for the jc unit were the Filmtec part # TW30-4040 @ 2400gpd. $224.88 each. Plus only $14 to ship three of them.

I just got mine from freshwatersystems.com. A little bit cheaper than Kleen-Rite and Duiltmeier. LP-4040 is the # for the 4 inch by 40 inch membranes. 2900 gpd.

Unbelievable. Only in this stupid a$$ country. For that idiot attorney to sit they and say he did not deserve this. Yes, nor did the car wash employee deserve to get robbed. If that fool had a weapon, and injured or killed a car wash employee; what is the story then? This crap just gets...

I record continuous. I tried motion, and those gray screens drove me crazy. I like to see everything. Hard drives are cheap right now. Why don't you add a 1TB harddrive to your system? Should only be 100 bucks or so.

Changemaker in Florida still services the mags; if you want it repaired.

All my washes have product at 40, air at 25. If the air is more than the product, the product will not flow.

That's cool!! I can't believe you only get $8 bucks for that. That would bring $15 or $18 in my area. Can you say what the total upgrade cost was?

High location $10.50/1000 gal. Lowest location $6.25/1000.

I have a portable at two locations in small equip rooms. They work fine, and really help. It is definitely worth the $300. It will keep it at 80 or so on a hot day, plus dehumidify. Order a 25' aluminum duct hose (5 inch dia) from Grainger or McMaster-Carr. Cut hole in your ceiling close to...

Thanks for that, Bill. I would have never seen that if you did not post it. I am amazed the President could keep up.

A little off topic; but I get my chems in 20s and 55s. We used to not be able to give the empties away. So my storage facility manager says we should sell them. Ofcourse I say "yea, right." Can't give 'em away, so we will sell 'em. But we list them on the marquis anyhow. Long story short...

I have a foam top brush on a Nu*Star unit that the foam sections are falling out. It appears that they are only glued in, with stiffer foam sections beteween each layer. I looked for a way to squeeze the sections closer together, but can not find any adjustment. I used a spray adhesive and...

rzeavy: Yes the answer is obvious---I have three high volume washes, and one better than average volume, no break-ins, no stringings, all validator maintenance paid for by walk away tokens and then some, no issues going to the bank to get $1 coins or quarters, or any other denomination. I came...

I am with Sequoia---$1 high security tokens are the way to go. I have used $1 tokens since 2002. I even dispense $1 tokens as change in my 7 auto cashiers. I have plenty of clear signage stating such. There is really no customer issues. PLUS!!!- I have never been strung and have never been...
