    Bill, Point well taken ---- on the other hand --- sometimes a specific statement can be an outright "lying soundbite if you will" preying on unsuspecting newcomers! I remember when I was helping to keep "gross before any net realized at all" taxes on services within our state--- hearing over &...

    Programmable Relay or PLC

    Safety PLCs or Programmable Safety Relays?! 2BIZ & others, I wonder if anybody in the car wash industry has done anything with Safety PLCs or Programmable Safety Relays? We are just finishing up on three pieces of high g-force laundry equipment with using a Phoenix Trisafe safety relay along...

    Compressor very noisey!

    I had my twin cylinder Quincy air compressor rebuilt by a local machine shop because of the noise & oil seepage about 8 years ago. The noise issue was the connecting rod like the honorable Mr. I.B. Washincars stated as a possibility.

    The Vice President announces plan to stop $1 coin. CNN

    Some studies are to be trusted more than others continued from previous post Did the administration's very unthoughtful mandate go so far as to say that the non biased independent GAO study was not accurate? If so, they really should be more specific. I personally have studied all of the...

    The Vice President announces plan to stop $1 coin. CNN

    A mandate that needs to be challenged & exposed for what it really is! Diana, & other more thoughtful citizens, This move hopefully will be very temporary until better leadership occurs. I checked out Rep. David Schweikert & his co sponsors of a much better solution & they clearly are to be...

    Mud business

    Fatboy, I agree that this is a better approach than banning them. I will sometimes turn on the bypass for them for part of the clean up just to make sure they understand that we are not just trying to force them to spend more money. Some will become ornery but hopefully we can make them...

    Converting coin vacs to a central vac?

    Our experience tw, We have done the central vac --- plastic pipe manifold approach with two vacuums to gain vacuum power in our laundromat. There is an issue that all the vacs must be on at once causing a waste factor or the spare (not on) vacs will actually cause a loss of suction. Unless...

    Wobble head foam brush handles.

    At one time our car wash had more pressure on its usage --- in other words we tended to actually have people waiting to get in much more than now. For those car washes with loss of business from too much free usage --- I say then it could make more sense. From our experience with the bucket...

    circut breaker always tripping on my compressor

    no brainer --- thermal overload set lower --- therefore it should have been the item to trip first! much evidence very definitive. LOL --- do you happen to be hanging around a certain lawyer we all know a bit too much? Mike

    circut breaker always tripping on my compressor

    If the contactor overload is set lower than the breaker in amps --- I would say it is most likely your breaker. I have been told that the contactor overload use the same technology as most circuit breakers so the thought of the breaker being normally quicker or something like that is not...

    Business Sign

    2Biz, Great idea. We had a project over 8 years ago where we wanted to have Open & Close signs go on via time set. We actually used scrap aluminum angle & we were given a huge old sign that most of its individual light emitting diodes were working. It was more labor intensive than I prefer...

    Fax to Email/Online Service

    Gentlemen, I can also vouch for efax as being worthwhile. Probably more information (& not really pertinent to Hamilton ACW specifically) than some of my fellow forum members prefer but with our ATM we get pdf emails updating us continuously with a very reliable & understandable current table...

    Happy Thanksgiving

    Likewise Randy --- since we on the forum have our livelihoods in common & we know that our livelihoods are very much tied into how we keep our families together --- it is great to keep all of us in mind within the forum during the holidays. mike walsh king koin of bismarck
