Chaz, Like me, both you guys accept cc cards, dollar coins, & paper money The key difference between us & some others is that we would also like to include dollar coins. I personally believe that this is the better agenda. So that makes at least 3 of us with a Cummins sorter/counter. Kevin...

Soapy, That is a very scary combination!!! We can relate ... usually with that scenario there is a section of the city .... scrambling ... not knowing for sure how long ... a matter of taking the necessary precautions possibly improvising ... watching over those precautions ... and patiently...

This could be relevant to the warm water weep portion of the discussion ... based on 100s of times of blowing our all our lines in below freezing weather ... there is no question that it is better to warm up the lines first with warm water. 2Biz, The below link is a worthwhile discussion on...

2Biz & others, It seems like a flow switch to prove actual minimum needed GPM flow would make the system more fail safe against a low or no flow situation. I know our boiler inspector makes sure that there is a flow switch & that it is working every time he stops by to inspect. Some boilers...

2Biz & others, The only thing I would add to the attaching the sensor to the plumbing (on the pipe surface) is that some HVAC experts assisted me with some heat sink compound designed for that very purpose. Not sure on the exact gain in accuracy ... but I would think it would be helpful. mike...

No offense Robert, but what are those "most sources" & the census or data gathering methodology that they used to arrive at that extremely low in comparison figure of 21.8K. I am sure that the CLA is prepared to defend their figure (35K) vs the possible "hearsay" from less factual sources...

Reds, Please don't let the vast majority of our friends up in Canada know that we are soooo sooo dense :( that we don't understand that there is never a need to carry more than a few coins at any one time. I mingle with my customers possibly more than most operators & have been personally ready...

Earl, How many times do I & others have to explain :( that the size difference in mm between a quarter & a nickel is very similar without the advantage of the "goldie" color. The argument of higher value (more risk if confused) doesn't hold water because normal reasonable people will consider...

Mep, That transportation cost was already more than factored in by the 7 GAO studies. It seems like the only arguments left is the fictitious pants falling down from a few ounces of dollar coins in a pocket & the mind-dumbing "identical in size to a quarter" misrepresentation:). Robert, Your...

You guys like a bunch of others are trying to paint a picture like as if the dollar coin had a fair chance ... like it did in the other countries. Nobody said anything about eliminating credit card but I did say something about too much dependence on credit card only & on the no longer...

Girls & Boys, The following is based on someone who "despite the obstacles" has properly made the goldie dollar coins available to his customers since the year 2000. The anti dollar coin car wash owner by not wanting the dollar coins to be as common as quarters is guilty of: 1. Forcing his...

Just in case some of us self service operators still want to keep the payment option of something other than just through the almighty credit card company. http://www.cnn.com/2013/11/28/us/one-dollar-coins/index.html#comment-1145668229

Earl, We don't have a tunnel but one of the best things we did 22 years ago was get rid of our gas fired air to air unit heaters that are the same as what you describe. They specifically say "no chlorinated vapors". I have a very unpleasant memory (happened during a severe below zero cold...

Kevin James, We have three of our bays that we keep open year round 8AM-10PM except during severe blizzards with -20º F to -30º F (North Dakota weather sometimes). We only have our deicer below & by each of our overhead doors & the other 3 bays floor area which is semi enclosed (more of a...

I agree & would also like to add the following: From experience we notice a significant "tunnel venturi type of wind acceleration effect" when both of our doors are open in a self service bay vs having one closed.

Jimmy Back in 1987 we had water pressure problems. We checked into all the alternatives & we are sure glad we went the route of having the street dug up some for a new water main to the facility ... even though it got into the first part of December which tends to be dangerously cold at that...

I can't seem to tell by the picture in the link ... Is the attached gauge a small round needle style or does it pop out with more pressure showing the scale pressure at the height position .. like the more common old style stand alone air testers for personal use?

Chaz, Thanks for your patience. I reread your first post & now I actually see the built-in gauge on the KleenRite picture that you linked for me twice now. It looks like the gauge is located in a really good spot at the tip of it based on the picture. mike

chaz & others, Do you have some kind of a gauge for the customer ... or do they have to bring their own or guess their tire pressure? I wonder if http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_48541_48541?cm_mmc=Aggregates-_-BECOME-_-Air Tools>Air Chucks + Gauges-_-1591711 or some other gauge...

built in air gauge & chuck??? Chaz, That's a great idea & could be a good fit for many of us ... even up here in North Dakota .... brrr it can get cold. I never thought about that the customer could just flip a toggle switch on the face plate & use excess time left on the Vac to check &...
