    security system options

    yes, my home alarm dials out via cell chip. I thought he was asking about where an alarm in his wash was going to call. I was assuming he had a phone at the wash.

    security system options

    Almost every security system that dials ADT or another service can be programmed to call any number. I have one installed by my local security company and is monitored by someone else. If I choose to discontinue the monitoring service, I can program it to call my cell phone.

    HELP - DH touch select II doors with Mars 2512

    OK, I have DH touch select II's in my SS's. I had a Mars 2512 bill acceptor break. I tried to replace it with another. All the switches on the 2512 I had in bay were set to off. The Mars acceptor did have a set of jumper for the top part of the harness. I moved it to the new acceptor. I...

    Metal halide to CFL conversion chart?

    There are charts if you search. I don't place much stock in them. I converted my 250w wallpacks to T5HO 2 bulb 4'. I should have done it sooner. I am saving $200-250 per month. Best cost savings I have done. The project cost me $4000 minus a rebate I may get from my energy company minus...

    1 pad for 3 pads.

    That's brilliant. Which IBA do you have? Last year, I replaced at least 6 pads!!! They get expensive. Which ones did you get to replace it?

    Getting Tempted

    Actually, even the harleys use the IBA not the self serve. I stopped by once and there were 4 Harleys getting washed in one IBA. LOL

    confined space?

    He may not be employed there if the boss doesn't find out that he called OSHA. Actually, maybe OSHA will fine the business out of existence and everyone will lose their jobs! Sounds like a win win... Maybe he should speak nicely to his employer and suggest a fan before getting the government...

    Getting Tempted

    Man, if I had $5 for every "Snowmobiles,ATV's, lawn mowers, boats, rv's, patio furniture, cars, H2 limos, dualies, classic cars, convertibles" that came through my wash that my IBA's can't wash?!? I would probably have like $50 a month! Woot!

    LED Replacement Bulbs for T8 Fixtures

    Wow, mine may do that too. BTW, who pays an electrician to replace ballasts? If I paid an electrician or plumber every time I had something electrical or water related, I would be BROKE! It is the car wash business.

    LED Replacement Bulbs for T8 Fixtures

    No, I was looking at the website you referred to for comparing the lights with flourescents. On the performance page it says 90-110 lpw. http://crseries.creeledlighting.com/#performance LED's are typically also very directional. I am sure the day will come when LED's surpass flourescents in...

    LED Replacement Bulbs for T8 Fixtures

    That calculator is funny. Monthly lamping cost $23 for flourescents. Compared to $0 for the LED. I will personally guarantee you that 11.4 years worth of CREE LED's cost more than 11.4 years worth of the T5's I am using. Even at 3.7 years of life each, that would be 3 x $3.50 for my bulbs...

    Rehab self serve wash - Lights?

    I replaced all of my 400w bulbs which were in 250w wallpacks. I replaced them all with T5HO bulbs. A T5 high output is a 54w bulb about the diameter of a pencil in varying lengths. I got the fixtures with 2 4' bulbs. Each one is brighter than my 250w wallpack with 400w bulbs. I don't know...

    LED Replacement Bulbs for T8 Fixtures

    $68 for a 4 foot bulb seems a little pricey to me. Does anyone use T8's at their wash?

    CFL bulbs in self-serve bays

    I can't say enough how please I am with the T5 HO's. It was more work than just changing the bulbs, but it took me about an hour a fixture after I figured out how including pulling wire and changing conduit.
