    Noob in this industry

    It's a spambot, the linked site has been spammed here at least three times in the last few months.

    Switching to count up.

    That's why I mentioned either dropping the time or increasing the startup charge in Cryptopay, so once they enter a chunk of time it's already charged.

    car wash canopies company

    A friend of mine used them to recover his Coleman canopies. He picked the wrong material because the lights don't come through at night, but they look really good and fit perfectly. They came out and measured the canopies as well as an awning on the building.

    You are aware that you can set the cash time in the timer different from the Cryptopay settings, right?

    Price increase for the weekend???

    Maybe you could double your startup or halve your time on Saturday morning, then on Facebook advertise that you're dropping prices in half starting Wednesday for a 360-day special.

    Push-in tubing fittings

    I use N11 tubing from Freelin-Wade, all black because it completely resists breaking down from UV. Mine is strung under the roof and the clear is getting really brittle even without direct sunlight. N11 handles 2.5 times the pressure of poly. Nine years of life with the SMC fittings sounds...

    Attracting "drive-bys"

    Maybe buy a trailer, have one side wrapped with a giant ad, and park it up the road? I see a bunch for sale locally for around $3,000.

    Coinless App....thoughts

    This is why I'd like to find a car wash app that uses a QR code scan at each piece of equipment.

    Push-in tubing fittings

    Has anyone found a push-in tubing fitting that lasts without leaking? I'm done with the brass ones that are fine, then one day you look at them wrong and they all start to leak. I've used the plastic John Guest which are pretty good, but I don't know how they hold up long term. I started...

    Have you ever ran away business

    You might lose some, but in my experience you'll only lose the least desirable. The rest should make up for the small loss with more money spent.

    He meant $5.30 and $5.25

    Switching to count up.

    The time for startup. If you're $2.00 for 4 minutes, 30 seconds per $.25, just set it for 3 1/2 minutes and leave the rest alone. Or increase to $2.25 or even $2.50 for 4 minute startup and leave the time per increment alone and offset some of the fees.

    Veejets don't have the metal vane.

    Switching to count up.

    There is obviously some way to use it with GinSan's ExpressKey system, but Cryptopay's manual says only Dixmor timers will communicate in count-up mode. Maybe GinSan knows of a way to make it work - the manual doesn't show where to connect the ExpressKey.

    Do you have that manual in a digital format you can upload or link here?

    Switching to count up.

    Just change the Cryptopay settings so you get the next increment sooner so you will already have charged for the next quarter once that time is reached.

    $15 minimum wage?!!

    I feel like fast food places have been preparing for the minimum wage hike for years. Five years ago I could go to my favorite burger place and get for about $13 what now costs $22. Most of the increase has been in the last two years. The last time I went to Taco Bell, dinner for three cost...

    HP Soap not drawing

    Is there any check valve on the soap line? I haven't worked on one of those in a couple years, but I think I remember removing check valves and swapping the in/out on the solenoids to eliminate the need for check valves. I just did the same on a bay at someone's wash where the check valve had...

    Car Wash Scents

    Again, maybe you should stick to your guns and refuse to add scent to any chemical instead of coming into a thread telling someone he shouldn't do it while you do it when asked.

    I can't wait for the $8 Big Mac.
