I have gotten a couple complaints that the goldline took money and didn't start a wash so I thought I'd put the validator from my spare goldline on it, That one just sort of vibrates after taking a bill about an inch or two then sptis it out. I'd like to send this to someone to recondition...

The coffee vending machines I remember used to pour coffee, add creamer then drop the paper cup.

Also ran a heat cable through the pipe and out to the manifolds over the bays. we had a mild winter but wash would still run good at around 25 degrees overnight

I used PVC pipe under the roof of my truck bays, cut 1/3 of the circumferance off off all but the last 6 or 8 inches of each end, on several pieces of PVC pipe (think I used 4" thin wall like is used for french drains) then I cut the ends off of half of them with the longer windows cut out which...

I don't know if it affected it. Might have had a pin hole in the hose from the tank to the pump. there was a small rub area, but I didn't see a hole. the looped hose just maches the other 3. I figured someone did it for a reason. Without it the pressure relief valve dumps into the supply line...

thanks guys. Today I replaced the feed hose from the rinse tank, added a looped hose between the Pressure valve and the pump (this is the only one of 4 that did not have a looped 20" or so length of hose, it had an 8" long piese of hose. I also noticed water dripping from the soap line and...

Pump pit water to a sprinkler head in the ceiling that you can turn on with your phone. Maybe then they will need to wash! could also help with bucket washers LOL.

The one Hypro pump that I left in the wash i put back on line last year seems to have developed a problem. This is a D&S pump stand, the rinse comes from a tank mounted above the pumps. Soap uses hot water coming in under city pressure. there is a large check valve under the tank (one for each...

I have trouble getting my customers to drive forward until a light turns red, then leave when it turns green again.

the check valve on the 'hot water" side that I couldn't remember is for the weep, flowing through the high pressure side of the head of the pump. guess that might add some protection if the heat failed in the ER. Plan to install weepmizers on both washes... soon its almost September already.

Thanks, I think your previous comments about the water changing directions is what I was concerned about. this seems to be working. I did add a bunch of non working swivels so I can get back to various parts, head of pump, etc without so much disassembly, it was sort of a puzzle figuring what...

Replacing 2 of the 3 pumps at the second wash we have acquired. Put it back same as the old failed pump, but not sure this is the best setup? Each pump is fed on both sides of the head. the right hand side is fed by a tank labled Hot water that is fed from a residential water heater. the tank is...

We only dispense tokens in our changer. Had a complaint from a lady who put in $10 and only got 10 tokens out of our clearly labled TOKEN machine. I explained that everything we have takes tokens. She told me she didnt want to wash her car, she wanted to do laundry across the street! Still...

You could route the 24v from the timer through the switch on the foam brush before it feeds the selection switch in the meter box. If there is time on the meter and the foam brush is off the hook, no other bay functions will work till the foam brush is returned. Also, with this set up you would...

We have cryptopay in our 4 bay plus IBA, and feel fees are reasonable for us as a low volume wash. Looking at a new thing called Coinless, an "app" where a customer can buy (and earn) credits to turn on bays and vacs. thier merchant provider quoted me 2.5%, but there is an investment in...

Probably 8- 10 hours a week average. no hired help.

Ive run businesses on quickbooks for years. for a service business and small number of inventory items to track it works great and is affordable. they have payroll available if your into having employees...

a high voltage wire running through a glass tube near the entrance to the validator would go a long way toward discouraging this behaviour. It would have to run a light bulb or something to justify its presence in the validator. break the glass get shocked on your aXX.

A few hits from top and bottom with a cold chisel and prying them out worked best on the ones we did.

My guess would be a check valve on a chemical line at bay 2 that is fed from a manifold valve. the high pressure is backfeeding down the chemical line, popping open the solenoid valves on that manifold because the pressure is now on their back side, and pushing through the manifold block out...
