    Better than Credit Card Alternative!!!

    Fun to imagine a potentially better approach! Is it not? Earl, $3 & $7 were our choices. We got the first shipment or 100 each a little over a week ago so we have done nothing with them yet. One option is to put them in our 40+ selection spiral KleenRite Mega Vendor. A customer did want...

    Paying with Credit Cards in the Bay

    Ya all laugh now --- times --- they are a changin --- blowing in the wind!!! CFCW, Thanks for giving your perceptions after 6 months. In the coin op laundry industry the cards tend to be more in house style magnetic cards. I still think that like I mentioned in my recent more focused post...

    Better than Credit Card Alternative!!!

    I wonder how that 3% currently stacks up overall costwise to all the other credit transaction costs for relatively small unsigned individual transactions. I wonder if there is or could be another company that could function similarly with the phone as its gateway via email or whatever?

    Better than Credit Card Alternative!!!

    Ya all --- from up here at yankee nordtah dakota, We are trying to consider the best possible fit considering all facets of the biz. We are leaning towards an ATM because of the logistics of over 50 pieces of equipment within our laundromat that would require swipes in addition to the 6 bay car...

    Where can I find fuses for fragramatic vacuums

    voltage factor Mep & Ghetto Wash, This info might not apply here if it is on the 24 volt side of a transformer (<30 automotive OK). To share what I was informed by a very good electronic engineer source that if it is on a higher voltage or for testing such as on a ceramic 600 volt rating ---...

    People going nuts for our dog wash

    ScottV & others, We rigged up an automatic drain for each of our 2 vacs. It was homemade with a dairy farm supply drain & fittings. Sometimes we deliberately suck a gallon or more of disinfectant into our vacs. So far so good. Also towards the end of our Zurn drain trough we have the intake...

    Meterbox signage/labels

    A key scrape to really test for lasting appearance capability I mostly use MS Publisher 2000 for paper thin decals. Any software that allows for easy resizing of pictures, text etc & made to print out precisely to the 16th or 32nd of an inch or a millimeter makes sense. It seems like the...

    Help! Dema 204 C and 2 Stack Rotary Switch

    Physically verify that gravity is not causing your leakage! Bubbles, Our soap tanks are over a foot below in elevation from our 6 solenoid block manifold & injector. I think something has to be clarified about the Pet Wash injector systems. I do not believe that it is the same setup of a...

    Help! Dema 204 C and 2 Stack Rotary Switch

    Bubbles, Do you have a gauge on your water pressure going through the injector so you can eliminate that as an issue? I know that Nat'l Pride told me that the main injector orifice size has to match the available water pressure & there was a consideration along that line. Are you using a...

    Help! Dema 204 C and 2 Stack Rotary Switch

    Bubbles, We thought the same thing & then we remembered that soft water tends to keep bubbling the tiny amounts of shampoo. We included on one of our homemade signs that are kind of in their face --- the suggestion to use at least a few seconds of conditioner to kill the suds. It works like a...

    Most durable coin box decals of all

    Quantity they required for the $62 each price tag? Waterway, How did quantity affect your price? I have to do 100% of the artwork because of the precise alignment to the indicator LEDs & the Dixmor LED7 display, the coin slots, the button holes etc. So that is taken care of ---- unless the...

    Most durable coin box decals of all

    I spent a good portion of the day visiting with local silk screen & decal makers within our city. There was one who has the ability to in house --- start out with clear polycarbonate & print on the reverse including clear strong adhesive on the same reverse side. That seems to be by far the...

    Help! Dema 204 C and 2 Stack Rotary Switch

    Bubbles-John, My parts list ordered from Nat'l Pride shows Dema 203B 3/8 inch adjustable. We had the same problem. Nat'l Pride walked us through the process & saved the day for us. At first Trent thought that maybe our water pressure was too low but the truth was that we needed to install...

    I’m so Excited!!!!!!

    It came this evening ---- even though looking at my mailing label ----deserving it ----- might be another story! I could have swore I had sent it in. The filled out card is on the kitchen table --- the next step is to joyfully address & stamp the envelope with another 4 year commitment check...

    Stringers and gunfire - a fun way to spend the night

    I just saw a post in one of the self service laundry forums that said that wasp spray shoots farther & blinds the person until they get an antidote at an emergency room of a hospital. Supposedly, some people in law enforcement are promoting that instead of pepper spray in some parts of the...

    Preferred Spot Free Pump

    Mr Clean, We use a Procon. What is the brand of the well pump. I wonder if it is made 100% stainless or other 100% noncorroding material made because RO water is very aggressive. MJ

    Private Water Company?

    I remember awhile back they had on the news that some metro areas actually have a private water company similar to the private gas & electric utility company. I wonder how widespread this is & if this has been made to work for this particular service? I know there is a lot to be said about...
