    Visa fallback fees on cryptopay

    Sounds like they're working really hard to sell the tap reader.

    Need replacement of my burnt Carwash

    Yup. Do what exactly, point out the truth? As I mentioned to you several times, when that input is fully transparent it's fine. When people come here and give advice without mentioning all the facts about their input, it's misleading. Again, as I've mentioned several times, and as you...

    Kleen-Vend Jackpotted

    There must be something in the manual to tell how he did that and what to do to prevent it. Assuming that's the keypad where he was pressing buttons, it looks like he must have entered a code. Did he walk up and do that, or did you get a license plate?

    Hit and Run

    In Texas, hit and run is a felony even if it's on private property and only personal property is damaged. Since you have his name (and hopefully video of the vehicle as backup proof), your insurance will go after his for damages, assuming he has insurance.

    Pump PSI Drops from 1100 to 400

    Loss of pressure is from loss of flow. Your tip could be eroded or damaged, the new regulator could have debris in it, you could have a bad high-pressure check valve somewhere, a bad inlet check valve, a leak on the inlet side allowing the pump to draw air, or there could be a problem with the...

    New technology advice on Surveillance Cameras

    I wouldn't do wireless unless I had to put a camera somewhere I couldn't run the wire. I've never used wireless myself, but the people who do that I've asked have at least some issues with reduced framerate, poor quality video, or connection failure.

    What would you do?

    I've never found anything of value, but I've had more than a few customers claim they lost something. One kid said he dropped his $3000 "grills" when he pulled up to the auto cashier - I had just pulled up when he came speeding up and accused me of finding them and lying. I told him to call...

    Vilco Supply

    I've had them do probably 100 over the years, never had an issue with the repair. Edit: I got them confused with Dynajet again, don't know why I keep doing that. Dynajet is the one that's out of business but they did a good repair. Vilco doesn't press in a new seat, they have an insert that...

    Pump Oil Changes

    They definitely won't run long without oil, or with water in the oil.

    Pump Oil Changes

    That just means you have no experience with General pumps.

    Remodel

    I worked for a company that built car washes. It doesn't require any specialty knowledge or equipment, but you do want really good people to do the work. I've worked alongside guys who pride themselves in the bricks being perfectly straight, and I worked in a remodel where the mason made the...

    Pump Oil Changes

    Genuine Cat oil is ISO 68 hydraulic oil, not synthetic, in a 21 oz. bottle. I buy it at Tractor Supply for about a third the cost per unit of the 2.5 gallon Cat oil. The oil does get contaminated with aluminum off the connecting rods and moisture in the air. I change the oil every few years...

    High pressure ceiling boom

    You are very wrong. You're installing the swivels improperly, either damaging them, using the wrong swivel, or tightening them incorrectly.

    Clack Water Valve Problem

    I like working on softeners. I don't have any trouble understanding how they work and diagnosing them. I like coming in behind someone who tries to sell a new $2400 softener to the guy struggling to make a living off his wash, and I can fix it under $300.
