    Time Perception Change

    Robert, Honestly & locals can verify what I am saying, you described a 14 stall facility that also included self service car washing that was built here in Bismarck back in 1982. There were a bunch of investors & they ran it for a couple of years ... it was sold (actually repossessed by the...

    Bit Coin replacing Physical Currency Article

    Maybe it is just poor pitiful :o me but I am really struggling with how some people are so attached to those extra filthy one dollar paper bills that clear evidence shows ... have on them so much more harmful bacteria & other pertinent germs. Now five dollar bills :D are so much more cleaner &...

    Robert, I along with many others do find some good common ground with you ... I think ... but I am not sure yet. For pot to become 100% legal across the USA there really should be safeguards ... so limited legal medicinal use should be defined & enforced enough ... so like other problems ...

    I just posted the below over on our Coin Laundry Assn forum. Just in case some of you have some actual facts to share & not just comments on the trend away from all physical money like Robert Roman always has ... just because something is a trend ... does not mean that is a good fit for all of...

    I wonder if they turn a profit?

    Randy, Since our facility definitely qualifies for all three of your industry examples ... including our heavily used & profitable dollar coin accepting height positioning video game ... I should weigh in a bit. I don't believe any of us want to encourage operators who are not adjusting...

    I.B. Washincars, Hmmm ... let's visualize a different scenario than your wife's "good grief" Charlie Brown situation. Let's say your wife would have had ... 10 to 15 dollar coins in her purse or her vehicle ... which would only weigh right around 3 ounces (less than a fourth of a pound)...

    A snapshot of our industry. It ain't pretty.

    Mac & others, There is legislation that does make honest efforts towards steps in the right direction like previous generations of elected Congress Men & Women have done before them. https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/113/hr5196/text At some point the journalists who don't make the effort...

    24V issues in coin box?? Need help.

    PaulLovesJamie, I hope you don't mind this country bumpkin :) bumping this thread up. I realize you may need more time to be more conclusive ... but I am thinking a bunch of us are at the edge of our seat wondering if the problem just cleared up mysteriously or if one or more of your specific...

    hot water holding tank

    Hopefully, Mep's suggestion of that specific check valve will take care of the overflow problem within your specific Coleman system. For some of us self service operators with individual tanks for each bay & each tank lower than the tank that holds the spot free or whatever ... then my...

    hot water holding tank

    How is the spot free plumbed? Just in case ... there is a combination of both a check valve & a solenoid leakage. It is not unheard of to have those items intermittently not seal properly. mike walsh http://kingkoin.com/USA_Deficit_Reduction.html

    hot water holding tank

    Tascosa, Is your water in your tank perfectly clear? We recently had one of our wax solenoids fail to seal in its closed position which allowed a creep of fluid to go into our tank through a pump. Of course we had more a problem than just the overflow situation because the small tank needed to...

    Reasonable Cost of Soap/Wax per minute?

    2Biz & PaulLovesJamie, I think what both of you are doing in terms of setting up a spreadsheet & then keeping it current is of value.

    Fail Safe Low Water Cut Offs on the variety of tankless units??? 2Biz, True story ... I will never forget "before a major update" when I set up a meeting between the contractor, an experienced mechanical engineer, & myself. The "master plumber" contractor kept dozing off during the meeting...

    Tankless Water Heater For Floor Heat

    2Biz & Rudy, I don't wan't make too much extra expense for anyone & my system covers a lot more piping & more boilers & inline heat exchangers so maybe it is not a fair comparison. Our overall system (all tied together) involves balancing valves called Gerand out of Minneapolis ... that can...
