    Spot Free TDS Increase

    We have the reject valve set so that we reject about 4% of the water.

    Spot Free TDS Increase

    We pumped the tank down last night from about five feet deep to about a foot. Next time I need to hook up one of those 1 1/2" flexible discharge hoses like what is on a swimming pool pump discharge instead of a garden hose. It would probably only take about an hour with my sump pump then. I put...

    Spot Free TDS Increase

    We were closed for several days and it got worse after the RO ran. No bay usage. I thought it could be weeping into it but it doesn't look like it.

    I did that and nothing came out of the pump pick up hose or return hose.

    Spot Free TDS Increase

    On Thursday we checked our spot free TDS in the bay and it was 20. For the entire time we have owned the wash (5+ years) it has been 10-14. We have an underground poly 1,500 gallon spot free storage tank. I periodically look into the man hole riser cover and it seems like ever since we re-routed...

    Remote Ownership of SS/Auto Car Washes

    Well there's Super Wash that built about 700 washes in 25 years and corporately held about half of those at one time. They have been selling a lot of them off over the last few years and last I heard they owned about 100 of them still.

    Issue with window cleaning

    Now that is a new one for me. Why don't you want them to use it on tires and wheels? Do you have a tire and wheel brush in bay?

    Backup heat

    We have an overhead natural gas fired radiant heater that is controlled by a wall mounted millivolt thermostat that requires no electricity. (technically it does but it produces its own from magic) As long as we have natural gas service then we have heat.

    A Cold freeze coming Windsheild washer fluid

    Do you have a racing fuel supplier nearby? We have one near us and the methanol pump is a self serve pump so you can bring any container to fill. I went last week and filled 11 used and cleaned out 5 gallon square chemical buckets and it was $175 after tax.

    How long did you try it before switching back to dispensing quarters?

    Token Questions

    Also to accept them in an MEI 7512 changer (or at least those types) it looks like they would need to be smaller than a dollar coin which is 1.043". Is this correct? Are there vending machine changers that accept larger coins?

    Crypto Tap on Self Serve bays

    Our plans are to install them on our new larger bay boxes when we get around to installing those. The doors on our current ones do not have the space. I agree with Mep that the swipers can be finicky so the tap option should help with some of that. One day Cryptopay with most likely have them...

    Token Questions

    We are dispensing quarters only now and for some reason for the first time since owning the wash (5 1/2 years) we are bleeding quarters like crazy. We want to dispense $1 tokens only out of the changer but also accept quarters in bays and vacs.

    Token Questions

    Oh, also trying to figure out how many to order at first. 5,000 is the minimum for custom and thinking of ordering just that amount and see how it goes. He said a 5 week lead time but would be a few weeks shorter next time.

    Token Questions

    We are finally going to order tokens for the first time. I'm still scratching my head trying to figure out the relationship and reasoning behind all the different names that Osborne Mint has. (also Osborne Coinage, Tokens Direct and Van Brook of Lexington) Also does Osborne make tokens for...

    Hamilton HTK bill validator issues..

    I was thinking you can also change the sensitivity to allow worse condition bills resulting in less rejects.

    Discounts Based on Payment Methods

    How could we recover "lost" gross income from the expenses related to accepting cash? Changer, bill validator, coin mech and high security lock maintenance, repair and replacement. Don't forget your bill counter and coin counter/sorter maintenance and replacement. Oh yeah. There is the time...

    New in bay option

    Don't forget (as I recently learned) that if you are in a freeze prone area and using a sealant/wax/protectant on a foam gun then you will need to weep or have a blow down/antifreeze system. Apparently you can mix methanol into the foam conditioners but not the protectants.
