Sparkey & others, We sent in a Domel vac motor to Windtrax that unfortunately happened to slip thru as a defective unit. Windtrax understandably put us through the process of sending it back & waiting for the manufacturer to respond. The total time was less than 30 days for the credit...

Harpua, Thanks for the Wall Street Journal Article Link. It is something I was not aware of in terms of the possibility of only receptacle style readers in the future if I read it correctly. That could accelerate NFC ... that is on a good percentage of cell phones ... including my brand new...

Welcome back Allen, Can you share a bit of your expertise when it comes to IP cameras? A lot of times when the newer technology comes along we fall for it a bit too quickly... maybe you can set us straight on some of the considerations. It seems like they are not as costly as they used to be...

Whale & others, That tends to be the way we handle it. Just to add something, some of us "north of the Dixie-Mason line" have overhead doors & when the streets are cleaner because the slush has frozen ... we get busier during the prime daylight hours. So there is the indoor towel drying...

I just read an article in the most recent American Coin Op Magazine about a young couple close to ND's western border ... in Miles City, Montana. We can be encouraged by the couple's statement touting the convenience factor with the dollar coin option in their wash. The article's pretty pictures...

Slash007, Just thinking out loud, & having the developer version of MS Access ... it is very possible that the developer version could be needed. That possibly explains why JC was able to fix it once they logged in. On the other hand, it sounds like they have a way without the developer...

JeffM, Our temperatures have been similar. This morning's local news mentioned Fargo had been asked to turn down their house temps to 60° F temporarily. I sure don't envy those car wash operators affected by the pipeline issue just south of Winnipeg. Last night I was actually thinking about...

Doesn't a yearly issue of one of the trade magazines have that? I know Bill P. used to have a pretty comprehensive list on this forum that included not just the paid advertisers. Did you check the ICA website? ... they may include non members ... I am not sure.

2Biz, I would not rule out a temporary sign "enter & exit from rear today" along with the tarp idea. Blocking even the non prevailing wind side of the car wash ... makes a huge difference ... in terms of the wind ... otherwise there is a "tunnel effect" where the wind seems to not only blow...

We have been using Heavy Duty Presoak Warsaw Powder over 10 years now for the hi pressure soap in our 6 self service bays. The cost has gone up a quite a bit. Has anyone compared that specific product with the cleaning ability of KleenRite's Turbo Powder or other KleenRite powdered soap?

2Biz, Before our Airlift Alaskan Polycarbonate Strapeze Overhead Doors we had some old style fiberglass overhead doors. Those old doors were not sealed very good at all. The point I want to make is that on the north doors ... the north cold wind blew in really bad ... I improvised with some...

I too am interested if our friend JPRB did actually replace all the LED modules for the timer before powering it up after inserting them. Ideally, there would be a way for some of us to ... in house ... with a multimeter to be able to verify at strategic test points within the board if the...

LOL I can't help it ... I am almost rolling on the floor with laughter. For some of us 15° F to 20° F is a warm spell!!! Gooodie ... goodie ... there won't be any ice on our overhead doors like on below zero & windy days! Seriously, we really do need to get at least 25°F (airport temp) with...

The possibility of another component that went bad for whatever reason causing JPRB 's future LEDs voltage issue was spot on! A lot of times there are domino effects when it comes to electronics ... based on mine & many other people's common shared experiences. Very reasonable & very...

jprb & others, I agree with Doyle Vacuum. Here appears to be a case of not thorough enough knowledge. In consultation with a control engineer on an extremely challenging control design ... he made me aware of some of the intricacies involved with LEDs. I would have to invest some time to go...

Earl, Now if yours & Pat H's & Mep001's & others' lobbying skills were just a wee bit better, we could have a unified effort to ramp up the $2 bills & have $1 coins the more dominate available coin. Let me walk you through step by step: 1. Almost no quarters ... saving bulk & weight by 300%...

Purina Beggin Strips from Sam's Club. We then divide them up into smaller quantities & put them in smaller zip lock bags that fit nice on the drop down shelves of that specific Laurel Vending Column. We have 2 sets of attractive decals on the outside of our stainless steel console so it is not...

Sparkey, I hope the pet wash works out for you. Over 4 years later ... time has told us ... that we made the right decision for us ... in putting in our Pet Wash. I hope the following helps: In order of highest selling to lowest selling ---- Dog Treats 39% ---- Dental Chews 33% ----...

http://www.newrepublic.com/article/116236/credit-card-magnetic-stripes-are-putting-you-risk-identity-theft Based on the above article ... it appears that the lever of liability shifting will be the driving force of the updating of credit card readers. In my opinion, cash for our self service...
