    Boiler/Floor Heat

    Noob, I would not pressure them up to air test much more than your maximum boiler pressure. Our system's inline gauge actually has been left at less than 1 psi & the way the pump is set up that has not been a problem with enough flow. This might not apply to your system. When expanded (2001)...

    Desperate for an IDX RC800 Remote Control / Programmer

    I have not had to call IDX for a long time. Is Mike Oliver still around? I met him at a Heartland Car Wash Show. I can't imagine him not wanting to give the best service he can. Unless maybe he is still messing with the distraction of the RFID system he seemed to be a bit too enamored with...

    Thought experiment: Floor Heat under-slab insulation requirements

    I have observed the same. I wonder if anybody has more than one deicer system & who had the foresight to put a earthstat below the concrete besides just having a comparison slabstat in the concrete on a non insulated slab. Then do the same with the another somehow ... but put a slabstat or...

    MEGA lll Refrigerated Outdoor Vendor

    2BIZ, Mike is pretty good to talk to from our experience when we needed tech support from AMS. Hopefully, he will have some insight to share & not be as biased & "eager to sell regardless" as some of the sales people. BTW .... portions of our 13+ year old indoor AMS machine have been updated...

    Bill Recycler In Self Serve Bays?

    Some vehemently disagree with me ... but based on our success giving our out $5s from our sheltered & protected ATM for over 7 years ... an ATM giving out highest denomination "always waterproof" coins as an option along with a specific bill would be the best. Something the ATM manufacturers...

    BEST DECAL website?

    We just ordered some 30% off aluminum signs (custom art work from us uploaded) to BuildaSign in austin tx. If we paint we will take them down during the process like we have done before! Acid does not seem to bother the more commercial-industrial artwork it seems.

    BEST DECAL website?

    No offense but we must be using a weee bit different intent of expression usage. Hopefully, we live in a responsible freedom of speech country without too much fear of being unjustly criticized, unnecessarily insulted & being taken out of context! Maybe a better way to respond can be...

    Thought experiment: Floor Heat under-slab insulation requirements

    Here the frostline is 48". I wonder if MGSMN's "very inefficient" claim would only apply towards the end of a very cold winter??? We did not put foam below when we went over existing concrete. Doing so would have created an elevation problem in our specific situation. It would be nice if...

    BEST DECAL website?

    We have found that to be true also. Our approach has been the clear adhesive lamination pouches from this outfit: https://www.jhlaminating.com/ Our laser printer will print on polyester paper ... an inkjet printer & regular paper would not be as durable! For our touchscreens in our dog wash we...

    Sales Tax from a vendor

    James Sutton, Thanks for the very valuable post for all of us IMHO ... not just for Floridians. Like an economic disease ... the gross receipt theft can spread all across the country ... especially when the news media puts their bias in favor of more taxes ... in this case sales tax. It seems...

    Jetting clogged drain in your area

    Sequoia & others, It looks like the only thing we would gain with the ClogHog specific brand is their "patented smaller end". The M22 apparently is why Cloghog requires buyers to state the specific "portable pressure washer" brand & model when ordering. Some brands & models use NPT on their...

    Jetting clogged drain in your area

    Some branches within our facility's drain piping going out are 2". The bigger issue is the tip length that Cloghog has patented that helps with some initial feeding of the jetter & some bend points. Part of our drain system is 1959 & another part of it is 1968. BTW we have not had a chance...

    Jetting clogged drain in your area

    Sequoia & others, Is the end on the pre installed Clog Hog less linear solid inflexible distance than if you did like Randy suggests??? The reason why I ask is because some of the sewer entry points & turns are affected by how compact the nozzle end is. It seem like the Clog Hog's big...

    SS, Laundromat with Reclaim

    Anything self service is tougher to reclaim I have read ... because of less control over what chemicals etc goes into their sewer drains. I would think that a full service laundry or automatic car wash would have a better chance.

    IDX X10 Xeptor problem

    My experience is somewhat in line with Swampdonkey's. The reason "somewhat" is because we have kept about ten total (limited to dry indoors & no overspray on vacuums) actually in use. We replaced the "more wet" in our 6 self service bay use with Microcoin QLs. Not sure if most of their...

    Social media marketing

    What gets me is when the slick salesperson won't answer about the actual costs during the early stages of their phone call. Then in the end they insist upon including a local professional photographer among other "take over stipulations" & you find out the average cost if someone somewhere...

    Jetting clogged drain in your area

    Sequoia & others, Are you actually using that specific one you linked to??? I telephoned Cloghog & a guy called me back based on caller ID. The guy was extremely "psyched out" for having any of his cloghogs working in a self service car wash setting. I told him 3HP motor - Cat 310 pumps & he...

    The most disgusting thing________________________________

    A percentage of laundromat owners can relate to some "homeless challenged" messing up a "folding surface area" with a similar pile ... with the person nowhere to be found!!! Actually a tougher situation than the pile while they are vacuuming their vehicle.

    The most disgusting thing________________________________

    Debra , I apologize for veering off a weee bit from your "most disgusting" theme of your specific thread. 😍😇 Greg_T ... even though we are in the USA ... our facility has two ... 4 Hopper Standard Bill Changers. Similar to yours ... our customers can get $1 coins from in our case 5c, 10c, 25c...
