    Just need to check myself on wiring 24vac

    Installing a used Air Logic triple foam panel located some distance from my main control boxes. It has its own 120v input and its own 24v transformer which powers its programmable control relay and switches the 24v from the main control transformers to the solenoids for each bay and possibly...

    Coins in short supply....

    Maybe we need to sell quarters for $11. or $12 a roll.. might be price gouging during an emergency. Guess I'll put tokens in our second location which is finally getting close to opening.... I have been on the fence since my first wash sells tokens only, but we take in about half our revenue in...

    Cleaning used meter boxes (mortar and some other film)

    I mixed some white vinegar and water in a spray bottle seemed to do OK with a scotch brite pad, and some elbow grease.

    Cleaning used meter boxes (mortar and some other film)

    Bought some used meter boxes off ebay and getting ready to install them. there is mortar where they were bricked in before, and a yellow film (wax maybe, like my walls have). My research indicates muriatic acid, my first thought, might damage the stainless so looking for alternatives. Anybody...

    A nation of sheep

    If the "Pen is mightier than the sword" what is todays media more powerful than, Nukes? We broke up Bell Telephone because it was too powerful, might be time to consider looking into who controls the "free" press. at least "OP/ED" type reporting be disclosed as being OPINION and not FACT. It...

    Cyptopay Confusion

    However it works, its pretty neat. I have them on LED6 timers and using the programmer for the timer, you can make it display your minimum cc charge as soon as they run the card, which stays on the display until they spend that, then it starts to count up from there, I think the meter running...

    Small business loan

    So the bottom line is you either have to pay it back, or pay the taxes on the expenses it covered that allowed it to be forgiven. This is probably fair even though it may not meet the intent of congress. Dr Stewart, my economics professor at SFA in the 1970s, taught us that "There is no such...

    LLC partnership and SBA Covid money

    It seems when the PPP came out they made a big deal that self employed people were eligible. They have probably back peddled on that like they underfunded the program in the beginning. someone posted earlier that ruths chris steak house got 20 mil. I would have thought they ahd over 500...

    Poll: Biden or Trump is best for my car wash?

    The only thing Ive noticed about online discussions of politics is that around half the people are idiots following the wrong crowd and with wrong motivation. Of course everyone is entitled to their own opinion of which side is which, but I know! LOL.

    D&S 5000 "HOME" position?

    My D&S 5000 is home at a spot of weld at the arch about 1/4 in from the enterance. I have noticed another spot about 1/4th from the exit. When my top wash cylces, it sprays presoak from the start, forward, then all teh way to the back and then again to the front so the front 3/4 of the car get...

    Cassida C500 Coin Counter Sorter off Sorter

    Im using the C500 off amazon, seems good to me, I have no prior experience. but it is accurate. It does pass quite a few quarters with the tokens the first "filtering" perhaps because they are so closely sized. Counts accuratly. had it about a year after making stacks of 10.00 out of quarters...

    Small business loan

    The Paycheck Protection Plan loan includes self employed. so long as you have paid taxes as self employed, you should be good for 2.5 times montly "payroll" as I understand this so far.

    Converting 2 bay Air Logic tri foam to 3 bay, any change to "smart relay" needed?

    I changed the 2 bay manifold valves to 3 bay, and while wiring, noticed each bay has its own input to the smart relay. If I wire 24vac to the third input terminal on the relay so it energizes when the 3rd solenoid is powered (same as bay one and 2 are already) will that work or will I have to...

    D&S 5000 upgrade

    Ive got a 2006 super 5000.... Just saying... It does have very low wash count and shows very little wear. $5000. no auto cashier and you have to use the air treadle from your 5000 because the one I got with this one is going in my 5000. seems to have many improvements over the 5000, vehicle...

    Pepsi/Coke Vending Machines

    I swapped between 2 older Dixie Narco machines, the compressor, condensor and evaporator assembly comes out as a unit, no need to release or charge freon. the new units I looked at on ebay came the same way. I was lucky I had an older machine that still cooled good on hand to rob.
