    Anyone also own a self storage business?

    Did you start a self-storage business using these curtains, or a business of selling curtains?

    Replacing working IBA's for new equipment, when does it make sense?

    28 CPH is a car every 4:17...not gonna happen.

    Towel Program

    I can't imagine a customer getting their car washed, get out and towel dry it themselves, and ride the wet, dirty towel around in their freshly washed car until the next visit.

    Backflow Preventer leaking

    Been there, done that. The biggest plumbing supplier in the area didn't have one and said the best they could do was to get one delivered from the warehouse (not retail outlet) in Cincinnati the next day and I could pick it up in Louisville (60 miles away) after they got it. That was going to...

    Scan Coin 303 manual

    I always collected my coins before anything else in my "milking" process. That way, if they were wet I would lay them on my big money drying towel and point the fan at them. I would then go about collected the paper cash, balancing the bill changer, and whatever else I needed to do. By the time...

    BenSavich and MidAtlanticCarwasher, your crimes are your business. Leave the rest of us out of them.

    Foam brush problems

    Water softener quit working, will do exactly that. I know I always harp about soft water, but that should be one of the first things you should check when your soap suddenly stops working. I've chased my tail quite a few times over the years, only to realize my softener had stopped working...

    Tankless water heater water pressure drop....

    I tied my hot and cold tanks together at the bottom. I set the cold float much lower than the hot. Under normal circumstances the cold valve is closed tightly, and the hot valve will keep both tanks replenished. In the event that it gets behind and the level drops very low, the cold valve will...

    Well, he got himself deleted, so we'll see.

    I deleted it yesterday as well. Hopefully it will stay deleted this time.

    Tell me about a well and well water.

    I'm considering buying a house in a rural setting and the water source is a well. I know less than nothing about this and what it entails. Is this something to be afraid of or just different? The house was built in 2008.

    CC only Vending?

    Vending income is like picking $h!t with the chickens. I can't imagine giving that piddly amount of income to the CC companies. How do you plan to operate without a change machine?

    Threats on the horizon: any opinions?

    I think the biggest threat is the industry itself. Express washes are all the rage now and are being built at a fever pitch. They are getting built closer and closer together and in smaller markets. They have been cutthroat on price forever (2-5 dollars for single wash) and now they are...

    FLOJET G57 pump with Parker check valve

    The break down section is more for those creative and "out of the box" fixes and workarounds. It doesn't seem to get used as much as I would have thought. As MEP said, posting in the best sub-forum is about getting seen by the right people. Self-Serve might have been the absolute best area, but...

    Electronic control unit issue

    I'm not sure. I would swap it with another bay and see if the problem moves with the timer.

    Electronic control unit issue

    It appears that you have a TimeMaster timer in there. I would be suspect of that first, but that's just because they are not all that reliable. I'm not saying the timer is for sure the issue, but if you do replace it, the Dixmor LED-5 (maybe 6) is a drop-in replacement and much better all...

    Electronic control unit issue

    I think there is a bit of confusion here. The box pictured is what we normally call the coin meter box, or just meter box. I think Dan was wanting to know if there is a heater inside the meter box.
