    How do I go about finding out whom owns a vacant lot?

    Use Google Earth and click on the property. It should tell you the address. Property records are public in Texas - just search for it in the county the property is located.

    Dynamic vs Statis IP

    The D.A.N. and the DTT terminals have to be each set to a specific IP address or they can't communicate at all. I can't remember if I had to specify them in the router as well.

    Foam brush problems

    Your Hydrominder tank can be as small as a piece of 6" PVC with a cap on the bottom. That should save you some room. You could pre-mix your concentrate with water into 5 gallon buckets outside the room, or even off-site.

    Foam brush problems

    I don't know that product, but it seems very pink to not be foaming. You might have a bad batch or they could have changed formulations. Be prepared to readjust everything with the next supply.

    Dynamic vs Statis IP

    You're still confusing the static/dynamic IP address from your internet service provider with your computer being set to automatically obtain an IP address from the DHCP server (your internal network). But if you shut down your PC, restart your network, then boot your PC, the conflict should be...

    Dynamic vs Statis IP

    That sounds more like an internal IP address conflict. Your devices on your network will be on an internal IP address of 192.168.1.x and each one needs to be assigned to its own, otherwise you'll get a conflict at some point. Each D.A.N. terminal is set internally, but your office computer is...

    Lexair valve LW4000 part number?

    Check with Assured Automation. I needed an inlet valve for a D&S 5000, found one that fit and worked for a third the price of what D&S distributors wanted for it.

    Button Input Error

    It happens when the button is stuck closed. Luckily they usually fail that way.

    Button Input Error

    I found the same buttons on mouser.com, you just have to solder the plug harness onto the new one.

    Arch covers

    Check 4x4 suppliers. You can get a similar (Might even be the same) material and in colors that they use to pad roll bars and cages.

    The verdict is in! (trash problem)

    I went to my bank today which also has the "same demographic." They give out lollipops, so of course there were lollipop wrappers on the ground in the parking lot, and ATM receipts all over the ground in front of the ATM, even though you can tap "No receipt," and there's a trash can right by it.

    Scan Coin 303 manual

    It definitely won't count wet coins. If any water gets in with the coins you'll have to dig them all out and dry the quarters and the machine.

    CC only Vending?

    I maintain that my customers would not make a credit card system worth installing. I know an operator who bought a wash three years ago and installed Cryptopay in all his bays. He's marketed it and has had his full-time attendant explain to many customers how it works. After more than two...

    CC only Vending?

    That number might be a national average, but it varies in different demographics. It's probably closer to 20% with debit cards and even lower with credit cards in my wash's area.

    Foam brush problems

    I messed with it for half an hour, and ended up replacing it.

    6 SS Bay for First Investment

    Could be that the wash I mentioned was just never wired correctly. The meter was left on the temporary pole that should have gotten removed when the wash was finished. Edit: This shows what you said is the case: https://store.gegridsolutions.com/Manuals/Documents/kV/GEI-52590.pdf

    The verdict is in! (trash problem)

    I want to try this, but I just don't think it'll work in my market. I just upgraded to an 8 yard dumpster picked up once a week, and it's full by pickup time each week. There are two car washes fairly close by, mine being the busiest one, but I'm certain I'll lose business with no trash cans.

    Foam brush problems

    I've had that happen too. I had put a new discharge hose on a unit and it worked fine when I tested it, but got called back a few days later because there was no soap. There should be a brown or yellow ring inside the discharge tube, maybe 4 inches down from the valve. The water was jetting...

    Foam brush problems

    Yes, it's a weight to help keep the end of the hose at the bottom. Definitely check what JGinther suggested - I see that happen a lot.
