    Foam brush problems

    It's faster than I would like, but the consistency is good. You're probably putting out twice the foam that I would, and I'd bet I'm on the high end compared to most here.

    New Vector Issue

    I don't think it's a cable issue. The fault is because the butterfly is supposed to move and it didn't. If it did butterfly and faulted, then the cable or prox might be bad, but this isn't what's happening. Try having someone push against the arm in the same direction as the pressure would...

    Trash Cans

    Huh? They cancelled SXSW. It's not ok.

    What kind of soap?

    I've seen the white glove test passed, but the machine and building is usually rotting away because of the strong acid with which they're cleaning the cars.

    You forgot the period at the end of the sentence. ;)

    Vac nozzles

    I quit using the big angle nozzles years ago because of the bulk stuff people will vacuum up.

    New Vector Issue

    Does the machine begin the butterfly before the b/f jam code or is it not moving when it errors out?

    Cryptopay for vacuums?

    I'd probably have a double-price startup on vacs and enable the button to add either 25¢ increments or $1 for each button press. I wouldn't think people will want to keep their card out to add time.

    2 motor vac / 2 motor + 1 turbo vac / 3 motor vac

    I also use the Domel, they last twice as long as the Lamb. I change the brushes every two years and have yet to have one fail.

    Much less on water too.

    Crypto Pay

    I don't remember the exact number of swipers per coordinator, but it's over 100. I only know one person who has put them on vacs, don't know his numbers but he's happy with the use they get. We just set them up count-down, $2 per swipe ($1 cash), button disabled. He gets lots of comments from...

    DS 5000 stops in front!

    No, I was saying to check it after it's been rebooted or powered down. It will display Default again if it doesn't retain the setting.

    DS 5000 stops in front!

    Depends on the age of the unit, some will go to default wash if it's powered off and on, newer ones retain the custom wash setting. Fortunately they all retain the individual wash settings.

    DS 5000 stops in front!

    Make sure you enable the custom wash profiles.

    2 motor vac / 2 motor + 1 turbo vac / 3 motor vac

    Look at your electric bill, there should be a cost per kilawatt-hour. Mine is 12.5¢. That means a 3-motor vacuum would cost me $0.375 per hour, or $0.00625 per minute. So a 3-motor vacuum would cost me about half a cent per cycle more in electricity.

    Crypto Pay

    When I first dealt with CC acceptance in the bays almost 15 years ago, I programmed a max of $10 mainly to prevent excessive charges in case someone didn't stop the transaction. I eventually rigged it so when they turned the switch to the STOP position it would trigger the end transaction...

    Hamilton Goldline lost memory

    I can't tell if that's the battery, it's been ten years since I've looked at the board, but if that's the battery this should replace it: https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/STMicroelectronics/M4T28-BR12SH1?qs=Mu9A%252BxKg3hTJ1rbHObpv1g%3D%3D

    2 motor vac / 2 motor + 1 turbo vac / 3 motor vac

    Some years back I had a customer with four old vacuums that looked identical, but one pair had two motors and the other pair had three. He said the pair with three motors got 50% more use, and sometimes his customers would yell him they worked better. Similar anecdote with a customer who had...

    what to do with a good membrane after removing it.

    That's not a bad idea. It should keep in there. I pulled a couple out of a system that were still good but the guy just wanted them replaced, so I sealed them back up in the bags the new ones came in. It was a couple years before I used the second one myself and it was fine. The first one I...
