    quick dry folded bagged

    I just bought some of the Sam's microfiber towels last week and so far they have been a hard sell. I put them in place of an armor all but am thinking of getting rid of the blue towels and using these in it's place. What are you pricing yours at?

    Jim Coleman Frag/Vac Problem

    I wanted to add that when I opened the main door, one of the 3 fragrances was empty while the other two were full, so it must have been working, but not properly. When the fragrance option was selected, it must have defaulted to one scent. Even if I fix the problem of only air coming out...

    Jim Coleman Frag/Vac Problem

    I honestly can't remember if I ever fixed this problem, if it just started working on it's own or if it just hasn't worked the past few months, but I recently had a complaint so I checked it out and there is still no fragrance coming out, just air. I will check to see if any lines are clogged...

    quick dry folded bagged

    You didn't mention which one exactly you were using. I have been using VSKBC100 Kleen-Rite Blue Cloth Towel - Not Wrapped in my drop shelf with no issues. Never tried the bagged version as I was worried about it getting hung up and the unwrapped were cheaper. Why are you so worried about...

    Sensorton question

    I have never had that problem and have had sensatron acceptors for years. All I can recommend is to follow the instructions on the website and do a thorough cleaning of it. If that doesn't work, then you should double check to make sure that no wires or anything else might be loose/kinked. If...

    Need to make a decision on bonus time

    You are right about simplicity. Since most people don't read signs, simple is always better. I don't mind the top of my sign, but the bottom is a little cluttered. I will think of a new design. Yours does look nice and to the point. I first need to decide if I want to offer bonus time to $5...

    Need to make a decision on bonus time

    With the price increase, more people are using about $5 to wash anyway. I am thinking about maybe only offering bonus time to those that spend $10? What do you guys think about that? Still can't decide if I want to publicize the $2 = minutes or just mention the higher prices and corresponding...

    Need to make a decision on bonus time

    Now that I have bill acceptors in the bays, I have been considering offering bonus time when $5 or $10 bills are used but can't make my mind up. For it to be successful, people that would normally spend only $3-4 would spend $5 just because of the bonus time. On the other hand, I might be...

    Need opinions on pricing

    My cash is count down, just my credit cards are count up. I think that way makes the most sense. I will watch it for a few more days then likely go to a $3 minimum. I think I'll have new signs made that are very clear then make the change when they are up.

    Need opinions on pricing

    I have it setup to count up then push the button to stop charges. That was the main reason I put them in as I figured/hoped that most people would wash to their hearts content when they are not bothered with having to put more money in. So far that has been true for some people. Another thing...

    Need opinions on pricing

    I set my start price at $2 for 4 minutes. This is for both cash, coins or credit cards. I am happy with the setup except I am no debating whether I should raise the cc start price to $3. I wanted to monitor the cc usage and figured that if most people used $3 or more, than I would leave it as...

    Cryptopay and Bill acceptors

    I spoke to cryptopay and they said that if it loses the internet connection then it just checks to make sure that the card has a valid # and expiration date and it lets it turn on. That is the default setup but can be turned off. I have tired it since and it does just turn on for a second then...

    Cryptopay and Bill acceptors

    I finally got my add-on boxes with bill acceptors and cryptopay installed and will let you guys know how it goes. So far last night everyone still went to the changer to get quarters and didn't even notice the new boxes or maybe weren't sure what they were lol. I'm sure that they will slowly...

    Need help drilling through coinbox

    My boxes are mounted on the the wall and not in them, so they would be exposed. I was hoping to have at least one of the boxes with a larger hole so that the fitting would go through it and then the other box could have a smaller hole and the fitting would just sit flush against it while still...

    Need help drilling through coinbox

    Those harbor freight step bits are what I used to drill through the doors for the cc readers. They are worn out now, so I'll get some more. I'm curious, what size holes did you guys end up drilling? I can probably get away with a 1/2" hole to run the wires through, but I wanted one of the boxes...

    Need help drilling through coinbox

    They seem nice, but I really want to pick something up locally so that I can get this project over with. It's been too long and I'm ready to finish up.

    Need help drilling through coinbox

    I am trying to drill a hole in my new add -on bill acceptor boxes that I got from Etowah Valley and am having a lot of trouble. I have tried different type drill bits with no luck. I am trying to drill through the side to run the wires out and it seems way tougher than the back as I was able to...

    Need opinions on pricing

    I bought 6 boxes from Jim at Etowah Valley. They are the add on bill acceptor boxes. That way I had room to add the credit card swiper while also adding bill acceptance. They seem like great boxes, but so far a pain to unlock. Hopefully they will get easier once they are up and have been...

    Need opinions on pricing

    I am putting in cryptopay swipers. I have everything in, just need to drill my holes and hang the new boxes then wire them up. I will let you know my thoughts once the system is operational.
