    Air pressure alert

    OurTown, Idec app does not send text messages. You have to open the app to monitor your PLR. Here’s another idea.... A cheap pressure switch (contacts close at 70psi)...

    Bonus time LED7

    I programmed a similar idea...BOGO on Sunday mornings Deposit $2 to start, get $4 worth of wash time. The PLR program is pretty simple but requires 2 coin pulse wires...to & from the equipment room. Since my PLR was already seeing coin pulses for my boiler/lighting controls, I added it to the...

    SS needs rebuilt.

    It's what you can't or don't see that would be concerning.... Floor heat? Water heating? Water softener? Condition of the concrete? Bay timers and coin acceptors? Bill changers?

    Ray Pak thermostat obsolete

    Hey Deuce! The devices I buy are Fahrenheit only. There's no C to F selector. Even though I've never had one fail, I agree about having a spare in stock...I usually purchase 10 at a time...and carry 1 or 2 in my truck. (Never know when one might find another need somewhere.;))

    Watts pressure regulator failure

    If your pre-soak and tire cleaner are dispensed thru the trigger gun… You likely have a check valve leaking above one of the bays. A burst of hi-pressure coming down the low pressure tubes can wreak havoc on a FloJet. Strange things start happening and it’s easy to get lost in the diagnosis...
