Thanks Dan for the unbelievably quick response, What threw me was the specific wiring connection on the specific wiring diagram for the GS612 leading to a credit card reader. I was thinking that with the Dixmor credit card enabled timer that I was all set ... other than a compatible card...

Randy, We are transitioning into & actually using a GinSan Board which has a provision for credit card. We are also transitioning into & using the newer Dixmor LED-7s. I wonder if I have to spend anything more beside a card swipe. Any experience along that line? Maybe GinSan's Dan Kamsickas...

While on the subject of in bay blow drys ... has anyone compared the sheer air velocity of the 2 brands out there? During my last week's trip to Houston I checked out both brands ... I am not sure ... but I thought the Doyle Car Dry had more velocity. Any comments? I know there are other...

Rfarm, On the bay washdown, I can share with you what we have done ... mainly for the cool wet spring & fall (hunting season). Over 20 years ago we set up a manifold with check valves & modified our wiring along with a 7th backup pump. Up to 7 pumps can be directed into the manifold with the...

This was really nifty at Joe's Car Wash. It had a centralized retrieval for the Laurel Electronic Vendors with just one Coin Box needed.

I see now where Jon is right with the repressurization pump being the only control now needed if that specific check valve is used. That's good because it keeps the process more simple & probably more trouble free.

Dan, Based on 23 months of actual experience, I would steer away from the "at their mercy" credit card model & go with a very secure built in the wall "paying its own way" ATM model. Spot Free plus the best in bay hand blow dry makes sense especially with Zbooms if your budget allows. It...

Just a thought ... it seems like the opening pressure specification could be a factor but then like Bubbles implied it seems like there would still have to be a solenoid somewhere. I suppose if it branches out in a way I don't understand ... could explain just the need to help prevent leaking...

Continued For a north dakota boy or girl driving an unfamiliar rental car in that big of a city is something that I have mixed feelings about ... especially if the GPS loses its connection. I am also thankful for that percentage of "Good Samaritans" who saw my blinkers & allowed me to change...

I got back from what I felt was a pretty productive & worthwhile trip to the 4th most populous city in the USA, Houston. If it is OK with Bill, I would like to thank everyone who showed me great hospitality. Mike Vukelich who I had a nice visit with also coached me on the driving since the...

Kevin, I think every neighborhood has its challenges. Even here in Bismarck ... since the serious influx of people from high unemployment states ... looking & somewhat finding work but also experiencing the reality of really tough to find housing. Believe me, we see are seeing those (mostly...

Randy, I would say before I would go to 100% electronic payment I would focus in 1. Making the coin box more time consuming to break into. 2. Make the on call or attendant person able to respond quicker with improved electronic triggers to cell communication integrated within the coin box. 3...

slash007 & 2biz, If the changers only gave out dollar coins instead of just quarters ... the operator would only have to fill them about one-fourth as often & bill acceptance & an ATM would make that even less often. We also notice with the in bay bill acceptance & dollar coins it cuts down on...

Slash007, Within the last few years we went with an add on bill acceptor box from Jim at Etowah with Coinco Vantage & $3 & $7 paper tokens along with 1,2,5,10, & 20 capable acceptors. Even with the proposed overdue elimination of the one dollar bill it still made sense for us because of...

Buz, Make sure you avoid any feather edging. We avoided that by cutting away & jackhammering where the concrete meets other concrete Just a thought & observation ... you will find it more difficult to wash down the bays if you have less slope to the pit. mike

Bill P, Thanks for the link. I was brainstorming with a Java expert (a cousin's husband) a few years ago & he was doing plenty of implying that Windows was the most insecure platform. After seeing some of the recent news releases about Java including this link...

I.B. I almost died laughing at your post:o A bit like a guy yesterday told me his "blue healer" dog needed to be cleaned up at our dog wash in order to go to the hospital to cheer up some patients. The dog was all over me & I made a slip of the tongue & said to the dog "now ... don't you go...

Randy, Is there drawbacks that the rest of us might not see in having selected the AE2612 instead of the AE2412? We get a big enough number of 10s in ours to make sense for us in the bays. Our dog wash gets some 20s ... so the 20s even make sense there. We have been debating on possibly...

Waterway, If I remember right Randy Nix gave me a heads up that the 2612 has to be specifically spec'd as a car wash duty validator. I stand corrected... if I am wrong. mike

For those of us who do not want to get rid of cash completely & who know from experience that coin mechs are slightly more reliable than bill acceptors & who have not decided that tokens only &/or CC or other electronic payments are the only way to go. After a 30 second ad the Chicago Tribune...
