So therefore operators are setting their autobackflush for their activated carbon filter at about how many days??? Mike

http://www.aquascience.net/gac/index.cfm?id=212 This one seems to have the FLECK 5600 SXT DIGITAL CONTROL with backflush. I am wondering at how many pass through gallons this specific control should be set up at as to when to backflush? It seems like if it was setup per time interval to...

Car Wash Junction, Sparkey, & others, That's great you got it solved by getting rid of the possibility of floating voltage with the binding of the neutral with the earth ground & with the movs. It is nice to hear & see your first hand evidence using those straight forward solutions ... rather...

For those interested ... This well done in my opinion ... YouTube Video ... shows a very similar setup as Rudy's. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Sn1PhK-RVI Here is another one below where the guy shows the temp difference with his non contact temperature reader. He seems to mention that...

Rudy, I can't tell from your pics what CFM rate &/or HP your Eaton Horizontal air compressor is. I found this on Ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/STACKED-PLATE-HOT-ROD-ENGINE-OR-TRANSMISSION-OIL-COOLER-WITH-SHROUD-AND-SPAL-FAN-/291432775082?hash=item43dabf3daa From experience ... do you think...

Chaz, Your approach is more customer friendly based on the feedback we get from our customers. Like what Whale said about his tokens ... they do appreciate the convenience of not having to physically put in four times the number of coins. Being able to put in a $5 or a $10 bill in our in bay...

SSadmiral, I also am wondering if most operators in Florida tend to keep a verifiable running log of the time the wax is running to avoid paying on all (gulp) their gross receipts? An IDX multiplexer to an hour meter or an easy to follow data acquisition hardware-software setup for multiple...

Just so we don't dwell on the negative too much ... I had a very positive experience when my car stalled this Monday ... about a block from one of our smaller automotive tune up repair shops here in Bismarck. They pushed it into their garage ... did some tests the next day & concluded that it...

I have only 2 ip cameras at this point being used with Blue Iris Software for about 6 months now. To make this work for continuous viewing & recording ... I do have to have a local network computer on 24/7. I am pretty sure I can record these 2 cameras to my 5 Terabyte USB 3.0 external hard...

Good points Waxman. Jimmy makes a good point at the absurdity of not being able to handle constructive criticism by the car wash owner. My million dollar question ... is banning similar to a "no trespass" that some police officers are a little too quick to peddle as a "panacea"?

Earl & others, At some point as we transition to POE cameras with the proper Ethernet Switch we hope to have a nifty NAS dedicated for video storage. We are partially waiting for the price of multi terabyte storage to come down more. Hopefully the crime scene does not get so bad that the NAS...

Cantbreak80 & others, Thanks for the heads up on other considerations for some domestic hot water systems with various tanks. We have over 120 gallons of hot water storage on the domestic hot water side of our boiler system with pressure gauges on the output side of the tanks & have never had...

Waxman & others, I had one of the bigger local mechanical contractors send a service technician to us when we got behind & time was of the essence in terms of not having heat in our bays during below zero weather & weekend coming on. There was absolutely no applicable material used on his...

Slash007, There has been good feedback over on the Coin Laundry Association Open Forum on this stainless steel water tank: HTC 199K BTU Phoenix modulating hot water heater. If I remember right it seems like 2Biz might have one of the Phoenix by HTC since he is using his tankless system for...

Sparkey, I wonder if someone from the city &/or state would go to bat for you if you gave them what are all the ingredients of the shampoos etc. I know we got Warsaw to provide all the elements that go into their car wash solutions & that seemed to satisfy someone from the city in the past...

Sparkey, We cut into the cement & tied into our main car wash pit & our pit hauler tells us that our state health dept regulatory office (federally funded) checks his tank getting enough samples to prove that there is no problem caused by our pet wash. Our pet wash is also in a separate...

Jeff_L, If it is a dollar bill that caused the problem like shown in 2Biz's pic. I quietly shift the blame to the fact that dollar bills are not being replaced often enough & that the odds of not having that kind of a problem would be much better with a dollar coin. For almost 100% of the...

2Biz, Great & ... as usual neat & precise work by you. Ouch ... on the cost to replace those carbide end mills??? Those single coin mechs by either Parker or GinSan are 100% reliable based on over 25 years of using them in our 6 bays ... it is a crying shame that dollar coins are not the...

Hoser06 & other Canadian Operators, Have any of you noticed that when you have set your personal & business credit or debit cards ... if the banks in Canada asked if you were planning on traveling to the USA??? If you said yes ... they said ... well then we will include the mag strip along...
