    New to self serve

    Wow, I thought my stuff looked bad. Lots of corrosion there. Be better off replacing those valves.

    3 Way High Pressure Valve

    I'm going to use the 453P's to start off with. I wasn't sure how they would hold up, so I was asking as a back up plan. Was going to wire one valve to the soap and rinse input and the other to the underbody input. Plan on just coming off the pump with a tee, the two vales, another tee for the...

    3 Way High Pressure Valve

    I'm making my own underbody spray. Does anyone know of an affordable 3 way high pressure valve that I can use to divert pump output between the wand and the new underbody wand? Needs to be 3/8" and be able to handle 1200 psi normally.

    Does Having a Leaf Blower Help at Your SSCW?

    We use a Husqvarna backpack blower. After we pick up all the trash, we blow the leaves and dirt to the edges of our property. Then we sweep up any gravel and dirt along the edges.

    Halloween Giveaways

    Do you guys give out stuff for Halloween? If so, what do you give out? The standard candy? Air fresheners? I'm next to a pizza place and they give out slices of pizza, just trying to think of something other than candy to give out.

    How to build IBA on your own

    I've worked for many years in the aerospace manufacturing field. I've repaired and designed machines from scratch. I've never tried to design and build my own IBA but I have tried to extend the life of and augment my "retro" magic spray. I've only owned the wash for 4 months but through the...

    I intend to raise my self serve prices this year....

    I'm really thinking of going tokens. Too many people now using the change machine and driving off. Once I add undercarrige and and blow dryers and raise prices to $3.00 to start I probably will.

    I intend to raise my self serve prices this year....

    I just raised it this month and I'm making a quarter of what I used to. Weather? Prices? I have yet to find out. I upped the programs and added polymer soap with a high PH presoak. Everyone raved about the soap, pressure and wax. Went to the best program in my system and made that the 7 dollar...

    I intend to raise my self serve prices this year....

    Come the 1st of August, I'm raising my price to 2.50 for 3:30. Was 2:00. I've added cryptopay and fixed all the functions (just bought the wash). I've already upped the price in my IBA to 5, 6, and 7 and sales have went down, but I'll see what happens. I've spent a lot of money getting...

    ACW 4 Cryptopay Problem Revisited

    I figured it out. All the videos and instructions fail to mention the second red/green wire. One needs to be connected to the pink wire on the controller and the other must be connected to your 24V common. Just like in the bay boxes.

    ACW 4 Cryptopay Problem Revisited

    Just installed the cryptopay upgrade to my ACW4. Have an updated controller with the latest software thanks to Randy. Have the same problem I have seen here before. It verifies and charges the card but does not start the wash. Keeps scrolling card accepted and that's it over and over. Rechecked...

    Coin Shortage??????

    Every week I take about 5 to 6 hundred dollars worth of quarters to the bank. Stores around me have signs put up asking customers to use exact change because of a coin shortage. Spoke to the teller at my bank the other day and she said they have an over abundance of coins. And not because of my...

    ACW4 cryptopay upgrade/Need upgraded controller

    Tried upgrading myACW4 today to cryptopay. Found I had version 1.4 with the display soldered in. Anyone know where I can get a new board to upgrade mine instead of spending wads of money on a new cashier?

    Wiring up cryptopay

    Wish my boxes looked that neat. Once I upgrade to 10 position, I'm going to really straighten out the rats nest I bought into. I was in a hurry to replace the Timemasters with LED 6 and cryptopay, I didn't have time to really do everything properly.

    Still designing my own custom overlay. Anyone ever do this? Found it at a car was I never see anybody using.

    My “new” meter boxes

    I just did mine last week. You'll have to zoom in to see the old box. Might add a sticker for the price in the upper right corner. Looks OK so far to me. Just installed the cryptopay Friday.
