    Bay lighting?

    IMO Ceiling lighting for SS Bay is not optimal . Reason being is the Customer needs illumination as much down the side of the car as they do on the top of the car. So, you would have to mount the ceiling light at the sides of the bay and they then might not throw enough light half way across...

    CAUTION - WORLDPAY

    I might have tried that since part of the issue was paying more than the monthly maintenance charge and I argued hat point to which the reply was the account must be active. I did not review the agreement again for language about this aspect.

    Bay lighting?

    In my operation power to the existing lights is thru conduit. So, it was not an issue. If you need to have cords and inspectors won't complain there is a . connector for that. Here is one example - they are also available with round grommets...

    Ginsan weep mizer upgrade

    You likely have a bad solenoid valve allowing this product to siphon out. Pull the hose in the equipment room from the exit side of the solenoid valve to see if you have a drip.

    Coin Deposit

    I bough an empty / new Plastic Gallon Paint container with nice thick handle from Menarda. I am able to put $700 in quarters in it and it has a nice screw on top. Quarters weigh 5 pounds per $100. Carrying a gallon of paint is not something a crook would target. Looks like this but...

    Best Hose Type for Self Serve Bays

    I could not see using non wire braid hose for a SS setup due to all the tugging, pulling and rubbing. The Neptune is wire braid rated at 3000 PSI while KR prices their 4000 PSI slightly higher. Don't know relative durability of each. I use the KR hose. .

    Conveyor chain damage

    I don't know what degree of worse it would be but if there is space between the tire and roller - driving over the roller forward or bckward has a certain "Impact" aspect as opposed to the constant tension of having it pass under a stopped car.

    Vending Machines at car wash sites

    I think your margins may be standard but perhaps we are outdated or the wholesale costs for relatively small quantities we buy are too high. I was talking to a 7/1 operator about pricing and he indicated most 7/11 operators price a 2x cost plus 10-15 cents per item and of course tax is added...
