Based on a few years experience with the bonus time we set up for dollar coins on our Dixmor controlled Vacuums ... I am pretty sure that putting 5 dollar coins will also give the bonus time. Not so sure about $1 bills because it is a slower process than flipping 5 of the dollar coins in. When...

Just to add to the vac bin cleaning comments ... we have found that periodically putting the four bags in one of our heavy duty washing machines at our laundromat works like a charm for getting maximum performance. If there is any water sucked up & then dries caked on ... makes it a good idea...

Earl, I will say on our PLC controlled self service dog wash ... a good portion of customers do appreciate the 60 second grace period that counts down in front of them on the touchscreen as soon as their time runs out. There is additional free cleanup (tub disinfectant) also during this time...

Also to come together in a unified enough way ... when disaffecting laws are made & public presentation is necessary on how present laws are enforced could also be a worthwhile outcome of similar togethers. I remember ... not too long ago ... being at a table at a Chamber of Commerce Mixer at...

Randy, I don't want to read more into your success than you are stating ... but have you always had the exact same specific brand of crimp end that was specific to the specific hose that you were using? I am thinking that the ID OD matching of fitting to hose would be the most pertinent when...

I was asking partially because ... just in case some of the operators who own their own crimpers have had a positive experience with more than one brand of hose etc. In the case of what MAC is putting out there ... the same question could possibly apply to re-usable ends that are made by...

These kinds of situations are "no joke". Late breaking news less than a mile away from us: http://bismarcktribune.com/news/local/bismarck/bismarck-officer-kills-mandan-man-in-shotgun-incident/article_dce8a535-63a4-5401-a45a-789ef2c16e98.html Another just happened potentially lethal violent...

As long as we are on the subject of wire braid hose ends ... has anyone else besides us have had equipment dealers absolutely refuse to crimp hose ends unless the exact specific crimp or reusable hose ends are used with the specific hose they were intended for. They cite liability ... end of...

A continuous duty lower rpm Quincy from what I have gathered would be a good choice. We have a small 2 cylinder Quincy (roofers model) that needs a rebuild now but that was after over 30 years of very heavy use.

JustClean, All valid points! This is why as many of us as possible should be vigilant & have courage when misinformation is spread as to what is the best fit & best ways to accept & process physical money!!! Lack of a healthier option of higher denomination coins to correspond to the reality...

Thanks, Soapy. Your approach makes more sense to me than the lighted domes or the lighted nozzles that we tried & did not last.

Sounds like a winner! You never know ... if you post a pic of it when it is far enough along ... maybe someone on th forum can reveal an even further improvement!

Soapy, Can put a link of pics or post pics of the LEDs you put on top of your stainless vacs? Thanks Mike

Ken, I probably should have described the lengths of pipes more as feeder pipes to more strategically located distribution boxes. I remember browsing through some documents 10 years after our install inside an engineer friends office & Raypak's detailed layouts of various de-icer systems kind...

CarWashBoy, I do see in some areas where it could make sense to not accept cash at all especially in a state where there is not any concern whatsoever about further "additional percentage points" on the by far most vulnerable part of the income ... the gross. To neglect to mention the...

CarWashBoy, Many car wash operators are oblivious to the fact in their state because of potential budget shortfalls ... there has been or is an eagerness among some politicians to have as much as 10+% on all gross for car washes in their locality. That is part of what makes me cautious getting...

CarWashBoy, Hmmm... 5.4% plus 2.2% = 7.6% and your overall rate is calculating to be 8.1%. Based on the less initial cost & maintenance of our coin mechs vs extra usage more maintenance happening to the 1,5,10,20 bill acceptors that we have in our 6 bays & 2 room dog wash ... I would say that...

Ken, When we put in our header pipes we used Type K Copper wrapped in plastic film as recommended when put in concrete. Ours is a zero pressure Huron Valley System with a large TACO pump. mike walsh www.kingkoin.com

lilb93, I see where the "service not available" message was a temporary internet problem & a false alarm. Thanks again for the "could be pertinent" valuable open records type of links showing basic trucking company information! Mike
