Totally agree. After triple foam the dryers get a lot of use. We have the three motor 220v attic system. Only complaint is that the motors are in the attic so a chore to climb into the attic for servicing. The only thing we have to do a few times a year is reattach the 2” vac style hose to...

We thought about planting fig trees and blackberry bushes around the property. May still do so in the spring. Fig trees grow quickly (about 3’ a year) as do blackberry. I am sure I will not see any of the fruits but could become a nice talking piece in town.

Anyone test the experience and difference between the Air Shammee 1 vs Super Shammee 2? I know the 1 is the three motor version and the 2 is the large single motor version. Can you feel or see a difference?

I call Sam at JE Adams back after we chat and he explains to me how their vacs are built and the probable issues to check to thank him and let him know the issue found. He is usually right about the 1-3 things to check on a vac. Saying thank you is a dying trait. Sad.

Not worth the effort as most customers will not care about the plants. Get a 30 gal or 55 gal container, 1/2 fill with salt water and place a container cover with advertising for your top wash on them. Maybe they help you drive people to the top package and you increase revenue.

We use them sparingly. They are greatly appreciated when we give them out. Brings a big smile and probably solidifies the customer relationship. Cannot wait h til the QR version is available as we replaced our swipers in one location to the Tap Plus. The $1per card cost is part of the...

You can drive yourself nuts looking at the numbers in a daily basis. We compare each month to the same month the prior years to see a trend or how we are performing. That said weather is a huge factor and it cannot be generalized as to good weather or bad since mud, bugs, salt, and other...

Or for the same investment you can buy one or two IBA/SS locations with better numbers and fewer employees. Impossible to give a fair assessment with just the info posted as it may be a mismanaged diamond in the rough. to build a new place like above you probably my need to have at least $5M...

Call CryptoPay tech support. The configuration you mention they refer to is called the side car configuration. They can help you wire it so the swiper button turns off both devices.

Normally yes. It is a tech issue that probably has more to do with the cc processor than CryptoPay the difference in fee is small and the combination of devices is rare so do not overthink it. But does make a case for just using all tap plus devices if doing a replacement of a device.

Any tap.

Note. If a customer uses tap on say a bay and swipe on something else like a vac or just does it a different way for a second transaction CryptoPay treats them as separate transactions since one is a EMV transaction. Recently learned about that undocumented feature. Minor but does increase...

When there is a carwash on every corner it is Time to Retire....

Interesting. Short (now) funny story that’s related. So I finally convince Hamilton to replace the readers as these doors are brand new. I get the two readers and swap them out. The replacements were reconditioned readers as you could tell that someone had used them before. They seem to be...

I doubt it is the reader. It’s their controller software has undocumented features. it will reject credit card use and disable the bill acceptor until I physically reboot the GL. Happens randomly. I suspect the cause is a customer trying to use the reader without going through the exact...

I am familiar with CryptoPay for my vacs and bays. I am giving it some serious consideration as the IDTech readers are proving to be a bear to get to work properly on a consistent basis. CryptoPay now offers a Tap Plus version but you need to ask for it from KR as it is not currently listed...

In hindsight that would have been something to seriously consider. Since Hamilton does not support use of CryptoPay devices I wanted to go with their solution as we have other issue with their equipment now and then and did not want finger pointing. do you have a tap plus? Or tap with swiper...

You can upgrade an existing Goldline that just has a Magstripe swiper for a credit card reader to a new reader that can accept the chip via insert, swipe, or tap. IDTech makes the reader. It looks nice but requires the customer to press a green button prior to use. Can also accept all forms...

Has anyone installed the Hamilton Goldline IDTech credit card reader with the retrofit doors? Would love to compare notes with anyone who has the GL IDTech reader (offline via phone).

We changed all our CryptoPay swipe to Tap Plus. Easier to use and more reliable. Customers seem to get it too. Having the button separate from the device also seems to help the process....
