    Ric, Those are extra heavy booms you are installing. We went clear through our 8" lightweight block wall with stainless ready rod when we installed the extra heavy Mosmatic Wall Booms with Extensions for our in bay self service blow drys last summer. Also, when we mounted our Hydrospray...

    Foam brush acting-up

    Maybe it is just me ... but I would still thoroughly test & verify the very low cost liquid inlet port o'ring located on the liquid inlet fitting ... that way you would know that you have the whole Flojet Pump that was replaced as a reliable spare. We have found that a silicone lubricant gel...

    Foam brush acting-up

    2Biz, To me the bottom graph curve with its intercepting graph lines is pretty straightforward ... & I agree that there is only 1-2 GPM gain by running at 90 PSI over 40 PSI. Hopefully, I have not overlooked anything pertinent. I did not pay attention to the SCFM because I knew that either of...

    Foam brush acting-up

    Don't rule out the manufacturer's troubleshooting recommendations! HCW, Your setup resembles ours very much & based on this following "Honest to God" coincidence .... This week we had the exact same issue... although it did not affect all of our 6 bays the same way. Being human we succumbed...

    Mac & others, As a matter of policy eventually decided in democracies ... are people around the world willing to give up the right & protection to privacy that cash for smaller transactions is stronger at? Also, countries that have kept their coin & currency as efficient as possible have...

    Metal Content for Quarters being considered by Congress at last Wednesday's Hearing

    Your partially right ... both parties are partially to blame for failing to make sure that distribution was done properly. The transparency that most Americans are asking for ... was provided ... to some extent by the online availability of the actual hearing. For the record ... a portion of...

    If we do not stay informed enough & the changes are a negative instead of a plus ... then we have nobody to blame but ourselves.

    New ATM and the Cycle Of Money

    SeattleGuy, Sorry for the delay. Its 100% BigLeo's fault ... me so so sorry ... just kidding BigLeo:) I was hoping that BigLeo would share some of his ATM specific research ... especially about the current status of optional coin hopper dispensing small footprint ATMs. I was told on Friday...

    Metal Content for Quarters being considered by Congress at last Wednesday's Hearing

    This is for those who want to stay current with how much closer Congress is to finalizing changes the metal content in coins including quarters. Their is no need for my fellow self service operators who are 100% convinced that 100% credit card is the way to go for every last piece of their...

    VFD dryers

    Sparkey, If they were mine, I would put one of my two clamp on ammeters to verify the amp draw during the ramp time & after the full frequency has been made. Depending on my specific extra "demand meter cost" i would make whatever practical time delay judgement based on those factors. I am...

    And she still loves me!

    LOL, he got the PERMIT but the design is goofed up. It is not Pat's fault ... he did not use his usual common sense & instead got mixed up with the wrong consultant!:)

    New ATM and the Cycle Of Money

    Waxman, Untrue based on our experience. Also based on our experience, in filling our application to the ATM seller who coordinates the Gateway Processor Setup etc. we had to state that the owner (you in this case) had never been convicted of a felony. They also verified via outside sources...

    New ATM and the Cycle Of Money

    I was given a heads up to the advantages of owning by many laundromat owners who had successfully owned their own ATM about 4-5 years ago ... about 3 years ago I carefully looked the 5 year contract over on the processing side of owning our own & it has been practical ... possibly even for those...

    Credit Card Usage Update

    I would certainly hope that it is not true as I would hope that for the 100% honest all cash businesses with no CC would not provide any more of a reason to be flagged by the various agencies either...

    Credit Card Usage Update

    Earl, I think I see what you mean ... businesses reporting extraordinarily high proportion of CC to cash ... could get flagged. I personally would not wish that on my worst enemy to have to suffer through too many audits by too many government agencies. I see another reason to have cash ...

    Credit Card Usage Update

    Number of receptacles required. There are a lot of car washes combined with laundromats which makes the # of required CC receptacles many more. Like I said ... I was not going to take the time to post on this thread but I felt that DCalhoun & PaulLovesJamie gave some balance to the ones who...
