    I am not sure but I think a distinction needs to be made between separated durable push momentary buttons vs an all selections in one touchpad.

    push button bay meter

    Jimmy, We don't have the JC push button but we have tested & are almost 100% done with converting some Specialty Equipment Touch Pads to 13 push buttons. I would think that any distribution board would work from any distributor. Of course you would have to deal with the space requirements &...

    quiet vacuums for express wash

    jrecchi & others, Would it help to specify the quiet Lamb motors --- I assume they are still available or did they discontinue them? I remember that Lamb used to advertise or list a specific vac motor that was supposed to be very decibels. MJ

    R.O. Systems

    I forget where I got it from but I know I shopped for the best price equal value. With a google search you should find alot of them. It seems like the TDS meters are less troublesome than the pH meters. http://www.easymeters.com/cart/product.php?productid=585&cat=183&page=1 MJ

    Gun(s) At Your Car Wash

    When I sense a potential problem, I tend to have my cell phone already dialed to the 911 & am ready to hit send (speaker already on) & hope & pray that my reflexess are quick enough & that my (our) tax dollars actually does some good. Then it would be a question of buying some time & also a...

    New Bucket Washing Tactic Observed

    John & others, Another scary thing is during the winter on days when both doors are needed to be shut --- parties parking themselves in there with no equipment being used excessively drying their vehicle. Ever been caught in that yucky situation when people just happen to be waiting? We do...

    Signs of a bad economy!

    Bigleo & others, We are getting into some heavy approaches but I wonder if even more issues aren't being swept under the rug over in some of the other countries vs the USA. I found out that one of the persons working for me was in a coma for over 45 days less than ten years ago so these kind...

    Etowah Valley 2536 Error?!?

    Bubbles, I don't know if this will help but hospitals with their sensitive equipment tend to use isolated grounds. You have to run a separate ground rod in wet moist earth separate from the ground that comes into your building if I remember right. If you have more than one panel ----...

    Stringing in Dallas

    Potential Witnesses & Cameras Knock Out Punch! Jeff, Miles, Whale, & others, I guess there are situations where the hoodlums cover for each other ---creating decoy distractions etc. Otherwise it seems like the more independent parties at the facility tend to make for a kind of "check n...

    Doyle Air Vac Combo Switch Connection

    Washregal, I don't have the unit but if it is a double pole double throw toggle: up or down position should allow the common to normally open on one pole(switch leg) to run ---- the other position should make the other pole common wired to the opposite position (other switch leg) to not run...

    Stringing in Dallas

    Clear Lexan window on faceplate for pinhole camera? Marshall, We have a lot of "no vehicle" people who have moved here from all over the country & tend to be desperate to get by sometimes & without scruples. Having enough activity at our facility makes it less likely what you describe will...

    Best of the Best Newspaper Promotions?

    Locally, every year our main local newspaper has this "Best of the Best" contest. It includes lotsa categories including car washes. Any of you have experience with similar contests that can help or diminish us some public relations wise. I am concerned about spending too much money on print...

    Fragramatics fragrance machine help.

    Lighthouse, Depending on size of opening, hookup & longevity factors --- I would be leaning towards going with an electronic coin drop. We replaced all our vacuum drops with electronic so we could take both dollar coins & quarters & the reliability factor is also a bonus. Some actually allow...

    clogged drains

    spinning sewer cleaning nozzle problem? From experience & from what RotoRooter has told us, sometimes the cutter won't work if sand gets in the drain a certain way. So the blow bag &/or the sewer cleaning nozzle with our high pressure can be the best alternative. I notice that the sewer...

    Galled Stainless Fittings

    It seems like some of the manufacturers in the past have used zinc chromate nuts on stainless steel bolts to avoid stainless on stainless type of seizing or galling.

    Galled Stainless Fittings

    I pretty much agree with both Soapy & Randy. On our brand new aluminum & stainless steel dog wash building we had to use many hundreds of nuts & bolts so an air tool was necessary but we went low on the air pressure to slow down the speed & the final tightening was by socket wrench. The fact...

    BC moves to a Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) in 2010

    easywash & bigleo, Is the HST on all services or just your retail items like vend items etc.? As far as "life goes on" it could go on even better without the extra tax ----- especially from a "common good" perspective! MJ
