    Security Cameras advice

    We have some new 4 and 5 megapixel IP cameras that we run on Blue Iris Software. Just a heads up to anybody leaning towards the IP Ultra HD POE route: We were lucky that we already had a couple of gigabyte switches so we could route our Cat 6 wire through them avoiding the 100 megabyte...

    New LED lights in the parking lot

    Wet Spot, Just to follow-up with Keith ... we too really continue to like our year old 72 Watt Crees. It was definitely worth it for us to go through the process of using their light simulator on their website. Keep in mind some of the lights were discontinued so the coverage could show up...

    Emergency on/off switch

    Ric, If it were mine ... I would make sure whatever less costly replacement you get can be wired in so ... even after pulling up ... the main tunnel control still has to do a specific reset. That is a stipulation that a control engineer said was to meet a requirement when we did on a project...

    stainless metal vs metal

    RAATCB, The pump stands that we have were fabricated Specialty Equipment & they used Aluminum Tubing ... I think that made more sense than the more expensive stainless or more prone to corrode regular steel. I have not seen any downsides from the aluminum. The aluminum has what appears to be...

    Trouble with industrial vac vendor

    Chip from Laurel Vending is usually really good ... it wouldn't hurt to touch base with them ... scouting out how much it would possibly cost to convert to one of the industrials to their system without buying the whole cabinet etc ... just thinking out loud. mike walsh www.kingkoin.com

    Head Quarters?

    Twodose, We haven't seen any ... but it seems like magnetic signature coin mechs like most of us in the coin op car wash business use would be added protection. Many in the coin op laundry industry still downplay the need for the better more discriminating coin mechs ... which ... for the life...

    Source for HD Camera Cables

    JustClean, Your link's diagram shows Cat5e or Cat6. Does anyone have reliable data showing that cctvdirectbuy's preliminary approach for using RJ45 causes an actual loss of HD analog quality vs coaxial cable. Since we at our location are leaning towards a future transition to more & more IP...

    Nayax C/C for car wash?

    gearhead & others, I am not sure but it seems like self service wand car wash overspray (deliberate or accidental) is worse than even a whipping strong wind driven rain that could hit an outdoors installed credit card equipped vending machine. On a side note ... I know when I traded in my 2...

    Nayax C/C for car wash?

    Just Clean & others, My question is "how moisture proof" is the EMV compliant Nayak & E-Port? That is a bigger factor for self serve bays in a northern climate that needs to have both exit & entrance doors shut during the winter time. Usually there is a greater need for the "moisture proof"...

    Respirator / Mask

    Here is a specific video from Randy's link that is probably the most pertinent to what Earl asked. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_Dovk_khLw The MSDS sheets on whatever has something to do with the needed selection of the type of filters etc. Mike Walsh www.kingkoin.com

    Respirator / Mask

    Earl, There is a supplier (Hagemeyer) here in town that specializes in safety. They set us up with mask that has replaceable cartridges & made sure we had the cartridges that met safety specifications for potentially dangerous fumes. I hope this helps ... I wish I could be more specific &...

    Lifting a 600# washing machine or similar object onto a pickup tailgate or bed?

    It appears to be made in Camarillo, California??? cwguy, If you want to put a tracer on it ... I'm all ears! I examined the photo of the one they have over at Northern Tool & it sure looks exactly the same to me:confused: Does final assembly count:confused: ... we did some final assembly...

    Lifting a 600# washing machine or similar object onto a pickup tailgate or bed?

    Thanks everyone for the replies. The CLA laundry forum also has some excellent suggestions. This morning we set up the previously mentioned USA made compact HaulMaster 1000 lbs lift. At total cost to us $221.51 including sales tax we think it was the most logical way for us to carry with when...

    Lifting a 600# washing machine or similar object onto a pickup tailgate or bed?

    Can anyone share their experiences on lifting washers or similar items that weigh in the 600 lbs range up onto a pickup truck without some type of hydraulic lift. My thinking is that 2 husky guys should be able to slide-lift & secure without too much difficulty. Especially if it is just a few...

    Towel Station

    It seems like one trade off would be possibly less revenue from the spot free rinse option & the newer better blow dry option. Just a thought. I can see some customers really liking it though. When a regular tells us that they forgot their large terry towels at home & they are sincere we do...

    Complete overhaul kit IR 2340 5HP 2 Stage Cast Iron.

    pgrzes, Thanks for helping for us to get a better sense of the IR2340 Pump clanging noise & for sharing the fact that if we did take the pump apart to examine we probably could use "Right Stuff" gasket sealer so we would not need the expensive gasket kit. It does appear that I need to wear...

    Complete overhaul kit IR 2340 5HP 2 Stage Cast Iron.

    pgrzes, It makes sense that that specific bearing would take the worst brunt of a lot of use. Was the extra sound a kind of clanging sound? I wonder if anybody knows if the connecting rods would produce a rough clanging sound. The bearings on our commercial washers make more of a hollow more...

    My predicament with Credit Cards

    http://www.travelzoo.com/blog/make-sure-credit-card-doesnt-leave-stranded/ The article above points towards growing less acceptance abroad of mag stripe cards on their readers ... since Global Visa etc is calling the shots ... it seems like this will tend to also eventually happen here in the...

    Complete overhaul kit IR 2340 5HP 2 Stage Cast Iron.

    Our 12 year old Ingersoll Rand 23405L 5HP 2 stage Cast Iron air compressor has developed a louder than usual clanging type of noise. I took the motor to the local motor repair shop & it appears to not be anything broken or bad bearing etc in the motor. I did get a quote on a 3 phase motor for...
