    Mixed denomination Bill Counter

    One thing I am happy about is that all of our CU branches have in lobby self serve coin counters that directly deposit. Sometimes they are down and when they are it is frustrating because that is the only way they accept coin deposits.

    Mixed denomination Bill Counter

    Our credit union has miscounted our cash so many times and is getting worse as time goes on. Sometimes I'm off by one bill amount so I let it slide but many times they are off a hundred dollars. I think it is not their machines but how they calculate it. In my opinion they are not trained well...

    Anyone notice an increase in business for 2021?

    We passed 2020 numbers back in August. The first five months we might have been on track to double 2020 but it has slowed in the last few months or so but still a good bit higher than last year at this time. I am also concerned it is temporary.

    Korean "Car Culture" Car Washes

    I am sure as hell not going to convert to anything like what is showed in the videos and I would lay money down that our wash would outperform those in cleaning ability. Our self serve is not dying and is doing the best year ever.

    Would stronger presoak help this?

    HF usually stands for hydrofluoric acid. It's some nasty stuff. Do you have a two step presoak or just a high pH presoak? You might be able to use the titration kit for your new soap but you need to ask how many drops it will take to neutralize it.

    Would stronger presoak help this?

    Are you getting your soap from Tri-Valley? If so they should at least come out and show you how to titrate and provide a kit for you to test on a regular basis. I'm not familiar with the water hardness test strips as much but we use the Hach kit #145300...

    Do you run softwater to all cycles?

    Last I checked we have 18 grains coming in and everything is soft at our wash except the outside hose bib and for some reason the toilet and sink. We even weep soft water. Maybe our softener is set up just right. Of course we only use typically under 50,000 gallons of water most months.

    New one for me

    I was quoting Eric to see if the car wash in the article was in Ohio because I know of one that it happened to.

    Cryptopay $10 auth for vacuums

    You can contact Cryptopay and have them lower the pre-auth to $2. Keep in mind that the pre-auth amount is sitewide.

    Hit and Run

    Self serve is about impossible to prevent some idiot from tearing it up but the vast majority of automatic customers would know they can't drive a giant commercial truck through it. I think what we are talking about here is something after the swinging clearance pipe or sign. Something rigid (8"...

    Hot water storage failed

    In Ohio you can't legally do plumbing, electrical or HVAC without a license unless it is your residence. I replaced my tank myself and the state inspector never said anything on the next inspection. The boiler is what they seem to focus on and that is what is registered with a state tag.

    What wire should I run to my meter boxes?

    Cryptopay upgrade for Hamilton ACW 4/5

    There are a ton of "stock" names to choose from. Out of our four wash package names we only found one that is only sort of close. The rest were pretty close but they are kinda generic names in the first place. If you have special names that go with your branding then that will be an issue. I...

    Coin harness connector

    They are okay I guess but sometimes they spec out some cheaper things like coin mechs.

    Cryptopay upgrade for Hamilton ACW 4/5

    It has been four years ago but on our Goldline kit we could not have custom wash names. There were a lot of standard ones to choose from and many were close enough.

    Prefab Hose troth

    Just keep in mind that the original post was for a trough in the attic and not on top of a flat roof.

    Coin harness connector

    When that cheap coin mech that JE Adams put in there croaks then you would need to cut, strip and wire nut the wires to a new (better) one anyway.

    Caulk

    3M 5200 is basically permanent. If they still make it try 4200 instead. It is a very similar product but with lower adhesion.
