    ink for Hamilton htk receipt printer

    Ditto. If the paper is up side down it will not print. Try flipping the roll over and trying again.

    Soda Machines for Outdoor SS

    I'm looking for one for my wash. Seems like an easy way to make a bit of extra revenue. Used ones near me are $600-1000. I'm talking a dedicated soda machine; I have a shurvend ( ams visi combo) but I have it stocked w/ car wash items only... Brand name sodas by the case are 35 cents per can...

    Bad juju, or how a simple problem turns into an expensive disaster

    Welcome to the world of car wash ownership! Being down for an extended period is rough. You really get a chance to see just how much you can take! My 'test' came last March, when I was down for a month with a sewer problem / system rebuild. I learned alot about myself and what I am capable...

    What do you think about this?

    Yes they work. No they are not a gimmick. I wouldn't offer them for vacuum customers at a self-serve. It's more of a specialized detailing tool. I don't think they would hold up to abuse.

    Yes or No Poll: 2019 was.....

    Despite enduring ''Sewer-Gate 2019" ( where I was closed for a month while I tore into my sewer system for repairs ), I had a good year financially. I raised all of my pricing; self serve at $3 start / 3.0 min. Vacs $2 for 5 min. IBA $10, 12, 13, 15. ( 65% of customers are buying top pkg )...

    What do you think about this?

    That's a detailing tool. I wouldn't see it as a self-serve car wash option, if that's your question. Our detail shop uses tornador guns, but not ones with a vac attachment.

    Pneumatic grease gun

    I like being able to grease the bearings. Just because bearings aren't grease-able ( sealed ) doesn't make them better. I think they got rid of grease fittings on cars so they could: a.) sell more parts ( bearings) and labor and b.) sell more new cars ..."sorry ma'am; you car needs all new...

    There is usually an indicator light on the power supply for 24vdc inside the control cabinet of some machines. It's easy to check. green=good. red=bad.
