It is a catch 22 ... if we have too little pressure ... the spray is less effective against bugs. The customer obviously can always have less pressure by holding it farther away. Gosh, almost 2 feet would mean very little actual impact regardless of nozzle pressure it seems. In our case with...

Soapy, Diamond & others, We have locked our dumpster during the summer months to minimize dead fish dumping etc. When it comes to the vehicles leaving way too much trash ... when the dumpster is locked both customers & non customers find places next to a barrel or by the vacuums or somewhere...

Just out of curiosity ... does tri foam have effective cleaning power ... or is it mostly cosmetic? mike

I.B. Washin, This advice was worth more than 2 cents in my opinion ... especially ... if you know from experience that the magnet trick is very unlikely to cause any problems. I just tried it & the letters "STOP" flashes & wha la ... magic ... the time is cancelled.:) It is so refreshing...

I am posting this in the self serve because I think it applies more to that segment of our industry. This is not in any way an anti-credit card or an anti token post. For those who want to put their emotions aside on this issue & listen to reason & the better evidence, here is another link to...

Every once in awhile when we are busy ... a customer will put in a 10 dollar bill thinking that they will get change in our in bay bill acceptors. Has anyone found a way to reset the time to zero without going into the coin box itself & pushing on the mode button? We notice that the remote...

Bill P., Your video-link reminds me of when we sponsored a hole on an Elks fundraising golf tournament a few weeks ago. It had been almost a year in planning. Lo & behold, it rained all day that day, the Elks tourney organizer called all the players the day before & told them all to bring...

cmacar, I agree with your statement about preventing a floating ground. I am glad that is one of the things that our original installer Specialty did correctly. I just want to share is that when we added temperature controlled heaters to help keep the boxes drier we bought a reasonably priced...

Chaz, What does it cost for your "yearly" servicing? We have a Cummins Jet Sort for coins & having never had any servicing needed ... even after 10 years. We have a distributor locally & have been tempted many times to get a Cummins Jet Sort for bills similar to what you & others have. Mike

Since we also have a Laundromat with front loaders ... we have actually been encouraging some customers to use a front load washer & about 5 minutes in a dryer ... with good results. I wonder if any fellow Laundromat-car wash combo owners or anyone else for that matter ... has compared laundry...

mjc3333 & others, I am glad we don't have the same predicament bill acceptor wise in terms of vandalism as you. We like our bill acceptors ... mainly for the large quantities of five dollar bills:). If dollar coins were as common as quarters like the Loonie gradually became in Canada, you &...

By straight hose, do you recommend a 1/4" 3,000 psi hydraulic style hose even for the foaming brush even though it is way overkill in terms of pressure rating?

TechGuy, We have a 4 line non wireless phone that one of its lines incoming works with a couple of ring for two way intercoms by 2 of our employee only doors. The sign says ring bell first & then call so & so number(s). That way if we are working in the back room we will get a heads up of a...

Before too long we will be replacing our foaming brush wall booms. The foaming brush replacement boom will be one of two Z Hydrospray(Mosmatic) booms mounted close to the center in 3 of our bays. We seem to have fairly good luck with the 5/16" or the 3/8" curly hoses for not entangling like...

Just to add to previous post: We successfully use "non weekend" bonus time within our dog wash. That requires a wee bit more sophisticated control though.

Slash007, It appears that in some of Tom Hoffman's posts he has used bonus time effectively. I agree "to the point" signage is important. From our own experience, like on our coin op vacuums & laundromat dryers we give a slight bonus for using goldie dollar coins ... we honestly see a...

Twodose, Something to consider is possibly finding a buddy who has a 3D print machine & knows how to use it. It appears that the part by the pics that it is 100% plastic so that makes it an even more likely candidate for the process. A prerequisite is a CAD drawing saved in STL format. it...

Pat, Anytime a business owner does something like that there is a certain amount of uncertainty etc. From my perspective it took courage on your part to do what you did ... not just from a financial standpoint ... but also from a moral awareness & support view. mike walsh www.kingkoin.com

Bill, I do not have any first hand experience with this DVR ... but a guy on a laundry BB said he has had good experience this brand. http://www.nightowlsp.com/Videos/DVR-Videos. We have 2 GE Kalatel's but they seem to be extremely proprietary when it comes to replacing a hard drive or...

For those of you who want to put all your "eggs in one basket" in electronic "CyberSpace" payment systems. Good luck in pin pointing precisely who caused the potential shortages etc: http://janderson99.hubpages.com/hub/Car-computer-systems-hacked-remotely-Be-Afraid-Very-Afraid For the record...
