Ditto on the MicroCoin Qls for in wet bay use. Very little trouble with them ... one self inflicted by trying to force out a Kennedy Half dollar out of its coin return. If anyone is throwing the no longer working ones away ... PM me ... we might be interested in cannibalizing a few with one or...

IMHO I think at least some of the downhill for coin mechs has been caused by the fact that coinage has not been properly adjusted for inflation here in the USA (by Congress) where there is 10 times the population of Canada. I still think that this can be corrected with the right kind of support...

When the pressure builds up it should make or break contacts. Hopefully, there is not anything else that would complicate the testing with a simple continuity check on even the most basic multimeter.

Slash007, If you can find out what the pressure range & the differential range is for a known working heater, then you could be more sure on whether that one you linked to would work. For our modular pulse boiler system & our washing machine water level pressure switches ... using the proper...

Debra, I another funny incident came into my mind. Back in 1982 ... we had just put in our first brand new surveillance camera system with four very prominently & conspicuously placed cameras. By coincidence I happened to be visiting with one of the audio visual production engineers who...

Debra, A few that could possibly be used ... videos of the incidents would be even more helpful but alas ... & so sorry ... I was not on top of the events quite well enough for that. Since there are lots of SS car washes that have as part of their facility a SS laundromat like ours ... maybe...

I guess this incident I had is a little bit related. I once had a neighboring large corporate close-by business dump a huge pile of snow on our car wash lot even though we did not have enough room even for our own snow piles. Since they work fast ... I was lucky enough to catch specifically...

Wendy's Wash, Since the guy still came back & you know it is the same guy ... I don't think the officer who told him will be OK with the guy still playing his little game of "theft of services". I would follow up with the same officer & if that does not stick I would implore a town or city...

Steve, The founder of this forum Bill Pitzer was a strong proponent of us operators becoming familiar with PLC programming. Also for keeping oneself out of mischief. At least a few followed such as 2Biz & Mep001& others. You may have to go out of your comfort zone a bit ... but there is...

Does anyone besides me have tandem bays? We have that kind of setup. Regular customers are OK with driving forward when the bay in front opens up. If we had too high of a start up ... that could be a factor in no longer having that nicety for us. Not to sound like a broken record ... weather...

Water usage is way more than self service car wash. I wonder if there are any express or tunnel car wash owners who also have a laundromat. I have a hunch that the water usage at a laundromat would still be much more .... not sure ... if someone has first hand comparison experience I don't...

Soonermajic, Hopefully every person here on this forum knows ... I would not want to ever intentionally mislead anyone. There are such a variety of tiny & up to huge mega self service laundry facilities so it is hard to give an answer to your question that applies to all situations & areas of...

Sparkle, That could be more suited to a pay for entire time in facility like we had in Bismarck. They had a cashier who would collect based on the ticket time of when they entered. I think some Canadian facilities are using that format. Not sure if they will catch this post ... maybe they...

We have a medium sized laundromat along with our 2 room dog wash & 6 bay self service with 4 outdoor vacuums ... one with ability to air up tires besides just vac.

Even though I never met Randy Coleman ... I have had a special place in my heart for the Coleman Manufacturing family ever since they showed me unbelievable hospitality a few years back with a very thorough tour of their facility when I happened to be in the far away big city of Houston for a...

Greg, Good information ... sometimes it can be a reminder of what we may already kinda know of. Sort of bringing it to the forefront so to speak. This is the reasoning of why during a project ... a friend-mechanical engineer told me his was short on time to be able help me ... but if I...

Keith, I am also keeping my eyes peeled for leads on the best way when it comes to the updating of my cameras Black Friday deals or not. Over on the CLA laundry forum with the #6 & #8 post within the thread ... I found some interesting info on hybrid (IP & Coax) in one NVR: This might be an...

Greg, I wonder what the ratings are on your Pur-clean pump-motor setup? It seems like you must have some extra capability going on ... otherwise the end nozzle would tend to be the most restricting ... more so than the smaller than 3/8" solenoids you were running before. I do agree that if...

I had that happen with an extended warranty insurance plan on a brand new vehicle I purchased back in the '80s. 10 cents on a dollar with some repair shops refusing completely to use the warranty because of red tape involved for the 10% on the dollar portion. Not sure if my ability to...

Up to 90 psi. The customer is responsible for using the attached tester among others that are available from KleenRite & probably other suppliers: https://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-2036-acme-tire-inflators-with-gauge.aspx & also...
