    How's the Dog wash going??

    No Regrets Here More Positive than Negative Wow!!! Your posts deserve proper analysis & subsequent response. Doom & gloom for self service dog washing is not based on our over 3 years now of experience. Last week was a record of $465 reflecting the gradual increase as the months since opening...

    Regulator bypass

    HCW, I notice on your most recent pic of your now revised pump stand you are only using 1 belt on your 2 belt pulleys' system. We have a 2 belt pulley system & we have never considered getting rid of that particular redundancy that the original installers (Specialty Equipment) put in on our...

    Add on Bill Acceptor Boxes in Bays

    For our RVs, larger pickup trucks, larger vans & other specialty equipment vehicles our ten acceptance is nice. We are considering turning on our $20 acceptance. It also takes care of the customers who are hypersensitive to being interrupted. Other payment methods besides cash is a way to...

    Boiler Replacement Options - Win a $25 Restuarant Card!

    I think it is a waste to rinse with heated water. For one thing ... I remember a long time ago on the earliest days of Bill's Forum someone commented he couldn't imagine washing down the walls & bays with heated water. I think MikeV has it right with just letting the tank (insulated) water go...

    Boiler Replacement Options - Win a $25 Restuarant Card!

    2Biz, Thanks for the PM. You are a lifesaver. I was looking at our boiler system in depth after hours quiet time last night & realized that I really should consider a combo Navien Unit ... the...

    Boiler Replacement Options - Win a $25 Restuarant Card!

    RockyMountain, I put the above quote because I believe if I understand Turbo correctly he did away with both his boiler & his tank. It seems like he just has a Tankless to serve 3 bays plus the presoak of his Automatic. Based on that ... you could get by & not have to continue to maintain the...

    Boiler Replacement Options - Win a $25 Restuarant Card!

    Rocky, I am thinking that the aquastat within the tankless would be an adequate control for maintaining the temperature. Since you said you are 24/7 ... the needed circulating pump would run constantly. Typically those kinds of small pumps are made to run continuously at almost no cost if...

    Can you watch your security cameras from your cell phone?

    Under Pressure(I can relate):), We have an Ethernet based Kalatel DVR. For about 2.5 years now we have been able to see our cameras via either Droid or Iphone. Veriizon or Att&T First we checked with the GE Kalatel tech people. If I remember right GE said with their newest hardware they have...

    Slash007, Randy will possibly vouch for me on this one. There is a 9 pin connector on the end of the harness from the bill acceptor which is a specific Coinco p/n. MEI has basically the same connector harness but is a different length & their own MEI (Mars) p/n. We have interchanged the 2...

    Gold Dust!

    SJB & Mac, Tree sap is a factor for us during our warm weather months. Your posts made me think of the dust from the Mt St Helens eruption many years ago. mike

    Boiler Replacement Options - Win a $25 Restuarant Card!

    Mr. Clean, Are these the ones with an already built in circulating pump so you don't have to worry about the minimum flow rate as much? We are leaning to getting one of the built in circulator types of whatever brand .... so our three stainless steel 40 gallon storage tanks keep up better. mike

    People getting change

    Another Coin Dispense Potential Option Other than hopefully doing some good for my fellow Forum members ... I have no conflict of interest in stating the following: Based on about 2 years of owning our own ATM & now seeing that it has honestly actually paid for itself more than twice from the...

    http://www.youtube.com/embed/IPM8OR6W6WE?feature http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ayRImPvcQU It would be interesting if some of our oil field workers could use the Ultra-Ever Dry product & it would not hamper the functionality of their gloves. Trust me ... you do not want to have to clean up a...

    Earl, Does Etowah charge extra or minimum quantity for ordering the pre done numbers &/or if you have your company name & address on them too? mike

    Educate me on tokens

    Reds, We use a laser printer for our Coinco Vantage Paper Tokens because we think there is less chance of smudging like with an inked rubber stamp or an inkjet printer. The name of our facility is on them ... just like the name is printed on every paper inquiry or otherwise from our ATM. I...

    Motor contactor chatter...

    Twodose, We have a large quantity of similar relays on our laundromat washing machines to maintain. We have experienced where similar intermittent chatter was caused by the contacts not seating completely. That also would explain the arcing. The travel from open to closed contacts sometimes...

    Credit Card Fees

    Out of curiosity, I wonder if you guys who are extra deep into credit card sales have customers with prepaid &/or rewards cards who don't always know what the balance is? Is there some delays at the pump or at the gas station pay counters because of it? I would think it could even affect the...

    Credit Card Fees

    Mr. Clean & others, We are now set up with PayPal "Here" for when we sell our paper tokens for the self service car & dog wash portions of our business. We have already tested the app for our 3 cell phones. We are leaning towards passing the 2.7% on to the customers who insist on paying with...
