I recently installed a Lorex 2k system at a wash. It's not bad for the price, but mine I just replaced was a QSee with a much better app and a little better image quality, and it's only a 1080p system.

Real safety concerns: There are vacuum motors that don't have a shield over the fan. Multiple times in my years, I have worked on a vac that was wired backwards and the exposed spades are live all the time on one side, and they are live when the vac is on. A small hand could remove a wire nut on...

I had one today that fits because of "people who can't read signs." I have one on the changer that says it dispenses tokens and quarters because of changer abuse. Guy parks halfway into the first bay blocking the path to the changer for everyone else, indicating he's there to get quarters and...

I recently installed a Lorex 2k system at a wash. It had a Reolink NVR system that was mostly working, but they just screwed the cameras flat to the wall with the ethernet plug bunched up under it and corrosion caused a lot to fail. That system has MUCH better image than the Lorex 2k system...

Was it?

If I were to do this, I'd have all the bays synched to flash the same colors, but switch to white light on motion control or a bay starting.

I have a couple customers with those. They've let me pee right in the trench. It makes no mess compared to peeing in my floor drain.

Put up a large convex mirror so people can see where their wheels are going. Just don't ask me how to keep it clean...

I bought a camping toilet seat for a bucket at WalMart, and keep a supply of cheap can liners for #2 emergencies. I try to remove the tops off as many water bottles as I can, empty or not, but if it's yellow I don't.

Interesting pronoun.

I don't pee by the changer. I have no PUBLIC bathroom. I'm sure you pee in your floor drain like most of us do.

Years ago the city put out a bulletin that all car washes that weren't using reclaim water had to shut down because of a water supply issue. I got to the wash and immediately started coning off bays, and as I'm doing so a police officer called and told me the same news. I told him I was...

At least three.

Got some Dura-Slide, just in time as the newest Smooth-Bor I put on kept unraveling. The Dura-Slide fit into the vacuum fine, and the claw nozzle fit fine into the hose. The one I took off was barely a month old.

What may have happened (I've experienced the same thing with Ingersoll/Rand) is the switch is rated at 240 volts, but your incoming power may be 208 volts which increases the required amps. We used to install 7.5 HP I/R compressors in new builds, the electrical parts were rated for 25 amps at...

FWIW I use the SMC version. A little more expensive but lasts at least twice as long, and I've never had one fail catastrophically. I've had the Adams stick fully closed and ruin a pump more than once...

My customers just pee next to the changer.

I've had people put money in the auto cashier and instead of pressing refund to get quarters, sometimes they select a wash, then they stand there staring at the cashier or go back to the SS bay and stare at the meter wondering why it doesn't come on. At least two people, when I asked why they...

Yes.
