    Self service carpet cleaner [extractor]

    IMO sucking the dirty water / shampoo out after shampoo is applied is exactly what happens with a Combo Vac. One main difference is the Combos use a brush and friction to loosen the soils.

    Vacuum safety / Is this an industry wide concern?

    Not novel at all. However as to an "Industry Concern" "The Industry" seems to have concerns over things more likely to occur.

    Construction Timelines

    "Typical" may take a tough call since municipalities requiring periodic inspections can vary widely. (Other factors vary widely as well.) Not long ago had an experience where the city required a minor change and it was done in a day but it took the City 10 days to come back and sign off before...

    Ginsan or JE Adams air machine

    These machines are mostly generic concerning the "Guts" They have a compressor, timer and accepter. Biggest difference is security. I have JE Adams and security is relatively good. I do not know about Ginsan.

    Vacuum safety / Is this an industry wide concern?

    I think the question is "With all these ill fitting domes supposedly causing a potential problem how many actual incidents have occurred?"

    Chargebacks again

    I have chip acceptance at Pay at the pump. Still got stuck with Charge backs. One claimed duplicate charge. Different days, different dispensers and different amounts. Another guy I was able to track down because he had an unusual name. Asked why he disputed charge and he explained he had...

    Chargebacks again

    It is not a Worldpay issue and as some posters below relate it's not limited to Worldpay. As a Gasoline retailer I dealt with this - even with Pay at the Pump and Chip acceptance. Most disputes start with "The Cardholder" or the Cardholder's Bank" So, it it kicked back to your processor -...

    What’s THE most overcomplicated equipment you’ve worked on?

    Best thing for the tunnel is eliminate stuff with ir Cylinders, regulators, air over oil controls etc. as much as possible. Belanger wraps did a great job when dialed in but were a maintenance headache AVW and Sonny's wraps with no air controls much easier and work well.

    Auto Fragrance - Missing Equipment

    Your best bang for the buck is making it a tire inflator machine. I would go with a Coleman hose if you choose to resurrect it. That way you don't need any pumps for the fragrance. But you have to see what is also in need of replacement inside. Compressor, solenoid valves, Timer, coin...

    Any Hamilton XE gurus?

    FWIW have 5 in operation. Might go years without an issue and when there is an issue - typically a jam with a bill that has serious issues - it's not a surprise that it happened.

    How do you organize your hoses?

    Agreed / Plastic / rubber against metal will leak Not a question of "If" but hw soon. For Tunnels I use Cush Clamps on struts every 5 feet or so. For SS not so neat. Just lay in the torugh. It's unseen an no need to undo / redo clamps when service needed which is seldom but ease is key when...

    Kleen Pac Hyper Concentrates

    I use the KR hyperconcentrates but gave up on their PP PS and HP soap and due to gelling issues, but now use their low PH Products for both optons. I also use the Cherry Blossom FB, Just peach wax, and Kleen White for wheels and engines.
