Bonus time is more about rewarding the bigger spenders. On its own, it doesn't result in more income, if anything it directly results in less, but it builds customer loyalty, and the word-of-mouth advertisement will bring you new customers. Also, do you want the customers who deposit the...

This says "Also available for change machines" and looks like it just mounts flush on the changer, so it might fit on the safe head. It would install in a few minutes with no special tools. If you do have a tab welded on, use a good lock like CobraLock. The American 2000 pucks can be melted...

No, but it tells you if it was a butterfly jam, carriage jam, etc. The only thing it can't tell you that can be important to know is carriage drift, which you can see on your video.

In both those cases there will be a fault message on the E300 display. Those will help a lot in diagnosing your problems.

Your auto should have a CFM requirement. Your SS could need 3 to 6 CFM depending on the type of pumps.

That's good to know, just thought I'd put that out there as a "reality check" just in case.

I like free-standing dryers because some of your customers will start pulling in while the last one is still pulling slowly through the dryer. You'll also get a lot who won't use the full time, which can't happen with on-board.

I have a very busy 6-bay SS and spend at least an hour a day cleaning every evening, plus a guy who comes in every afternoon and spends an hour. Add to that four or five more hours a week here in there cleaning out the vacs, cleaning walls, pulling coins and restocking the changer, etc. You...

Those things are really super rare. I wouldn't count on much help, between the scarcity of the units and the fact that most people who bought them would never even look inside except to refill chems. If you take a bunch of detailed photos and post them here, we can probably help figure it out.

I think so. I used to manage a chain of 14 washes, all the LP solenoids were Asco and they were all getting on to 30 or more years old and not giving any problems. Must have been over 500 solenoids, only replaced because everything around them was going bad so we went with Kips. Up to 2003 we...

I understand, I figured I'd share just in case. I genuinely like the simpler menu of the 3 wash. One guy I know installed a Hamilton HTK and tried to set up 8 washes with it, basically an a la carte setup, and his customers were so confused he pulled out the HTK and downgraded to a Goldline.

I went through the same thing with a D&S 5000, had already swapped the unit four times because of their errors before another tech told me about it.

I know a guy who advertises the bonus as "unlimited time" after spending $5. Once 20 credits are reached, the time per pulse is doubled. He claims it brings in lots of customers, but he has to explain it a lot. To deter abuse he added a loop sensor in the floor to cancel the time if the...

That's a really difficult job, until someone lets you know that the whole terminal bar comes off with two screws, then it takes about three minutes.

They haven't changed the 3535 at all.

You could test your theory with a $10 appliance timer.

No, the bonus only activates when you reach a certain amount of pulses. An example, you're $2.00 to start, 30 seconds per coin, you set single credit, 20 pulses to bonus, 10:00 bonus, it doesn't matter whether you deposit a $5 or five $1 bills or 20 quarters, they get a ten minute bonus chunk...

Dema O473 is what I use. They almost never fail to work. They have a stainless seat pressed in, where the Asco seals against the brass and it tends to erode. Dema 41 series used to be excellent, but since at least 20 years ago they're junk. The last time I bought one for weep it tested fine...

Same, except I brush it on. Practically no fumes that way, and I keep the bay running so if I feel a drop on me I rinse it off immediately.

Have you considered three pricing points instead of four? Fewer washes to choose from helps the customer pick and pay faster, and you'll usually have two packages that are very close in what they offer when you have four choices. The guys I've talked to who only have three say that their...
