    How to Verify Cash Income

    None of that data you'll get from here will do you any good. Those numbers will vary a huge amount across the country based on demographics.

    Solenoid Valve max pressure question

    125 is probably the MOPD (Maximum Operating Pressure Differential), which is the highest pressure between the inlet and outlet at which it can pull the plunger open. Safe working pressure is the maximum the body of the solenoid can handle. Yes, exceeding the pressure would cause it to fail...

    Laundromat general questions

    I e-mailed the admin of coinwash.com as instructed but I've gotten no reply. I don't even know what rigid mount vs soft mount means, I'm guessing rigid is a row of machines bolted to something or together where soft is individual machines just sitting on the floor.

    Went to count up mode in my bays

    For equipment I installed for others, I also had custom Cryptopay-style instructions printed on the door decal and changed it to read that. It helped a lot, enough that the operators have too few complaints to be bothered.

    Yes, someone posted a link to it here somewhere.

    Switch to DAN ?

    Just keep the phone line active and leave the cashier alone. Yes, you do, but you don't HAVE to run the cashier on DSL just because you have DSL.

    Went to count up mode in my bays

    When I add Cryptopay to this wash, I'm going to do the same thing I did at another wash which is wire a programmable relay in to trigger the stop button when "STOP" is selected on the switch. We used to get 3-4 calls a week, but once I did that the calls stopped completely. Someone here...

    Switch to DAN ?

    There are wireless network bridge devices you can use to wirelessly connect something to a D.A.N. if you can't run cables to it. There are a lot of advantages to a D.A.N., but one big downside especially if you use it for your SS processing: fees. Think about spending upwards of $30,000 on...

    Screw them, they've pre-banned my email address for some reason.

    Switch to DAN ?

    I believe you can run multiple cashiers on one D.A.N. You don't need to switch just because something needs DSL, just keep the phone line. Not only will you have to spend about $6000 on hardware and run ethernet cables to the cashiers, Hamilton and e-Xact will get a chunk of each transaction...

    Laundromat general questions

    I have a business partner wanting to build and open a laundromat in a small town, and we both have a lot of questions before getting started. I suppose first would be a more appropriate forum, since this one has almost no laundromat discussion. Preferably one where no one is constantly pushing...

    JEEP Problem

    I guess when you applied dressing to the breather tube, you knocked it loose.

    Frame for Razor: Painted or Stainless?

    After dealing with a mistake where steel rails were used instead of stainless, I'd definitely opt for the expensive ones. Is this frame exposed where you could clean it up and repaint it if you need to? Is it only structural in that the machine doesn't travel on part of it? If either of these...

    Pricing Mini tunnels

    Look up Palms Car Wash in Austin. They're a SS/mini tunnel. I don't know what their tunnel equipment is, but they're really busy and successful.

    Recourse

    He might not be able to get a criminal trespass warrant without the guy on the property. I know I can't. A restraining order may be hard to get unless there was something like an assault involved.

    Hog Daddy foam brush

    I tried one of the synthetic ones, and it got so smooshed and matted after two months I had to replace it. I found a Universal brand hogs hair brush sitting on a vac island about a year ago and had to use it in a bay a couple weeks ago. They used to be absolute garbage with half the bristles...

    Flex wands and flex holders?

    The only D&S distributor I know of is way out east toward Bryan. I'd call D&S, maybe they can recommend someone closer.

    How much room below crytopay swiper do you need...

    The read head is in the center of the reader. I've seen readers mounted very close to the bottom and it works, but I don't like making customers (mainly the ones who think they have to whack the card through as fast as they can) bang their card on the bottom of the box. I've always tried to...

    I intend to raise my self serve prices this year....

    I've gone the simplest route I could think of, I mix a few hundred of the cheapest tokens into the changer with the quarters. Actually I started by putting a note on the changer that it dispenses a mix of tokens and quarters, and that worked for years, but they finally caught on so I really did...
