    Who’s installing Ceramic Coatings?

    Can you two knock it off? I can't hear my customers spraying high pressure "wax" on their cars over all the bickering.

    Dog wash

    Screw warranty. There's nothing to it, just solenoids, an injector, water heater, heated blower and tub. You could put it together for about a third of what a complete unit costs, and you'll know how to work on it yourself. https://www.tristarvet.com/product/swivel-ramp-bathing-tub/ That...

    Another strange Cryptopay issue

    I've installed a number of Cryptopay systems for people, most of which originally wanted to go count-down. What you said is how I talked them out of it.

    Who’s installing Ceramic Coatings?

    Just make sure it doesn't say "Made with 100% beef."

    Cleaning Vacuum Coins from collections bins

    Almost $500 a week, mine do $600-800 a week, and my customers are extremely wasteful. Last night I watched a guy get change for his laundry - I mix tokens in with the quarters to discourage abuse, and he threw the tokens in the trash. I had just emptied them, so heck yeah I fished the tokens...

    Air pressure alert

    I'm sure someone can help you with something more specifically what you want, but I would: Add a small but good-quality backup compressor (Actually just did about a month ago). Change out the room lights to LED (or add a couple low-wattage ones) and just leave them on.

    Cleaning Vacuum Coins from collections bins

    Why, WHY would you bring up the larger denomination coins?

    Cleaning Vacuum Coins from collections bins

    I'm paying a guy that much to clean and dump trash every afternoon so I have less to do at night and can skip a day during the week if I need to. Should I get rid of him and do all the cleaning myself too?

    Used CAT 3535

    Yeah, 10 HP won't do much. It takes a 30 HP on 208V to achieve 1200 PSI.

    Value of D&S 5000 stainless gantry?

    That's hard to say. You might be better off parting it out to get the most money. The spinner drops will sell, but I can't imagine anyone would need either the whole gantry or the main shell. In my experience, once it's been run into bad enough to bend the main gantry, everything including...

    Weep issue - Solenoid?

    Then they weren't the exact same model, Belanger uses the ones with the brass seat.

    Weep issue - Solenoid?

    It's within the pressure specs of the valve. I've not heard of exceeding flow of a solenoid.

    Cleaning Vacuum Coins from collections bins

    I can get $10 a day if I do it every day, but I usually do it every couple weeks and throw it all away.

    Cleaning Vacuum Coins from collections bins

    I cut a piece of hardware cloth into a circle, cut the bottoms out of two pails, then put the hardware cloth over the bottom of one and shoved the other over it. Hardware cloth is 1/2" and will catch all coins but won't catch small earrings. You have to clean the vacs just about every day to...

    Weep issue - Solenoid?

    I was thinking manufacturing defect, since any of the three valves would fail on different machines.

    Meter Box Decals

    I just use a tape measure.

    Weep issue - Solenoid?

    I doubt it's more than 10 GPM. There are three that control the flow of water for presoak, wax, and trifoam, with the chemicals pumped in after them.

    Meter Box Decals

    FWIW I used S. Thomas to make decals by sending them precise measurements, and they came out perfect. I can't imagine why anyone who makes them couldn't do the same.

    Weep issue - Solenoid?

    That's the same one Belanger used on the Vector units which wouldn't last more than a couple years. On some of them the brass seat eroded.

    Bonus time LED7

    That's just one opinion. I know that rewarding customers is good for your business. I don't offer any sort of bonus, but I routinely walk through the bays and just drop a buck in for people, especially if I'm in the room and hear someone cycling through all the functions trying to get the foam...
