    Nayax doesn’t shut off

    I have a customer that installed a Nayax reader on a SS bay. They claim it works fine except the Credit card doesn’t shut off/stop charging. Does anyone know if this is a wiring issue or a programming issue? I haven’t seen the unit or seen a wiring diagram, yet.

    Fonic Wash Power Concentrate

    Not the answer to the question you’re asking but, I use Kleen-rite’s KleenPak High Ph soap for my 2 SS bays. Great show, works well and no mixing etc. I wasn’t satisfied with Fonic Wash when I tried it. I have space limitations at this location that prevent me from using the famous...

    CryptoPay Tap Plus?

    I was told that the larger local credit union wouldn’t be adding TAP to their cards until 2028. This is the same credit union that has the worst cards that only read in my bays about 20% of the time

    Dumpster almost killer me

    It’s easier for the driver to get the dirt out of it is towards the front. Any water that is in the dirt or other liquids drain to the bottom of the can and freeze. On long cold spells I can lose half of the capacity of the dumpster with paper frozen to the bottom. I had less issues with the...

    Dumpster almost killer me

    I was emptying buckets of sand from my SS bays (not pit mud) into the dumpster when I overloaded the front and it tipped over. I’ve never had this be an issue in my past 25 years. Thought I’d just throw it out as a warning to the young guys and some of the older guys that aren’t quite as...

    First Week In

    Brilliant! This must save a lot of water on weep. I have a similar system that has a tank in the floor. I’ve abandoned it but it used to have a well pump that recycled the weep. I stopped using it when we switched to a weepmizer in 2004. The well pump didn’t like to work with the on/off...

    First Week In

    Great looking wash! id definitely add some low pressure functions. Tire cleaner, bug remover, salt neutralizer are good options. PreSoak gets used but I think a high quality alkaline high pressure soap is as effective as Presoak. I’d definitely add the air dryers especially if you have a lot...

    Are self serves going extinct?

    If you have a good population base, probably 20,000 or more, you’ll make enough money to survive as long as your market isn’t extremely over saturated. Also, NEW self serves are almost always cost prohibitive to build. The ROI for land, building, equipment and all of the various support...

    AMS vendor - Comm Error

    The “communications error” is displayed on the screen above the keypad on the door to the vendor, NOT the MEI screen. Thanks for the information, I’ll look into it more on Monday

    Wunder Baum = little trees in Europe

    Looking at Facebook post in a car group and noticed a guy from Slovenia had a familiar air freshener in his car. Zoomed in to see what scent and was a little surprised at the branding, Wunder Baum. I hadn’t considered that the iconic Little Trees brand had a presence in Europe...

    Need help

    I’d attach a hose and gun directly to the pump to eliminate any issue between the pump and the bay. it doesn’t sound like a typical issue with a valve…it may be an unloader/regulator issue. Try swapping the unloader with another bay and see if the issue follows the unloader.

    Need help

    Pull the vibration dampener (accumulator) off and stick a blunt object into the inlet. The bladder shouldn’t compress. If it does you need to replace the dampener. If it can’t be compressed you have a different problem. IMPORTANT: don’t use anything that can puncture the bladder

    Need help

    Where are you located? I think you need to ask an experienced operator to come help you for a few hours. Most of the people on this forum are more than willing to help other out. There are also more “lurkers” here than the same 20 guys that answer 90% of the questions. I’m sure someone will...

    Offset/Z-Boom options

    I have the mosmatic and the Zierdan booms. The mosmatic are great and the swivels last 2-3 years in my experience. However, the booms are extremely expensive as are the swivels. My Zierdan booms were reasonably priced. I did paint mine with a silver/grey hammered paint when I did the last...
