I believe another way is to disconnect the jackpot switch. If I recall correctly, you cut the white wire going to the hopper. I put quick disconnects on mine so I can reconnect it to use it if I want to. Otherwise, the switch is disconnected. I do find it interesting that the original poster...

OK, I have two laserwash 4000's. They are getting some age on them. Lately, my issue is the treadles. For some reason, the pressure pads are lasting approximately 6 months. At $250 each, that isn't going to work. Has anyone tried other brands? Does anyone know what causes this? The...

Well, I hate thieves. However, charges are not the only consideration. I don't know what the car wash is worth, but I would suspect that the family of the thief will own the wash as well as collecting a large amount from the car wash insurance.

Yep, no air injection. Possibly broken air line?

So an older lady pulled into my self serve. She put a few bucks in the bill acceptor in the self serve then sat back in her car. She sat there about 15 minutes then left. The next day, she came back. She pulled in the self serve and my attendant asked her if he could help. Well, she said...

I don't like Rain X. I have found that there are many other similar products that cost a fraction of what Rain X costs. Proper signage and advertising of similar products gets me just as many sales

That's exactly what I was thinking!

The boxes say Err no matter what. I can disconnect the power then when they come on and power cycle, they say Err. I cannot reprogram them because they say Err.

I need some help! My dilling harris ss boxes say err. It was one now two. I also had a breakage. That puts 3 of my 5 ss's outof business. Help. How do I get the "err" to go away? I have tried all sorts of combinations of reset.

OK, I need some advice. My plastic on my walls at my car wash is disintegrating. Frankly, I only have plastic on my walls in my 2 IBA's. My 5 self-serves are untreated concrete block. I need to fix my walls in my IBA's and maybe brighten my walls in my SS's Is there any paint that looks...

OK, apparently, I am lit. Each of my bays has 4 metal halide wall packs. When I bought the wash 3 years ago, each one had a 400w bulb in it. Since then, I have replaced them wtih 400w bulbs. I was just told that they are actually 175 watt wall packs. What effect does putting in the 400w...

I had Rowe bill acceptors and spent at least $100/unit/year in my Rowe BC-1400 changers. I replaced the internals with MARS bill acceptors for $700 each. Since then, I have spent $0/year on them. My Hamilton XE validators have cost about $25/unit/year, but they are only in my acw IV's. So...

Yes, my walls are light brown block. I hadn't thought of that. I knew that white plastic on walls was good for something. Actually with 4 400w metal halides per ss bay, it isn't that bright.

OK, I have been browsing the lighting posts. Most people seem to be using a whole lot less light than me. My wash does not seem overly bright. I have 2 IBA's and 5 SS's. Each SS has 4 400w metal halide fixtures that stay on from dusk until dark. I am getting tired of paying for most of my...

I have had issues with mine as well. One of mine died completely. Then another went wacko. Amazingly enough, I switched machines with it a few times back and forth and it started working again. I know it was the switch because that was all I changed and the issues went to the other machine...

Hmmm, would it be wise to lease someone's failing business and invest considerable money in it to increase the value of his property? From a legal standpoint, leases end. If you build the business, he benefits. If you don't build the business he benefits. If you build the business, you may...

The people have asked the government to get involved. I could have sworn it was people saying that someone should stop a mosque from being built there. That is asking for government involvement.

I am not concerned about offending anyone. I am concerned about the government taking away my constitutional rights because a few zealots believe it should. In this case, the zealots are suggesting that the government should take away the rights of the State of New York and the rights of...

Exactly. That is what I was saying. And I bet you lost business because none of the people involved in with the charity ever showed their faces around your car wash again. Turns a goodwill effort into a loser.

So are they giving you your $10k up front??? What if they never give you your $10k? Are you going to sue the school band? Seems like a real risk. Especially since I have had a few friends that have done fundraisers like this and ended up not getting their money. What about the lost cards...
