I was talking to a friend of mine who is big into the pet/fish store business. He was telling me that he has a small RO machine and sells water to all the fish people. He makes good money doing so. I agree with the thought of trying to sell it since you already have a system in place that...

Has anyone been able to weld the hose hanger on the top of a Doyle vacuum? Someone pulled mine off about a month ago. I tried the JB Weld trick, and really thought it was going to last, but I found it laying in the parking lot this afternoon. I assume that the plate is stainless and I don't...

I have rev 2.05, but I was also told...by Blue-Pay, not Etowah Valley, that I am actually a couple of revisions old. It sure would be nice if Jim would notifiy us or send us the software updates when they are available. He told me that updates were free, and I would like to always make sure I...

From Amanda: I will check into it, however, please be advised that the problems with your system running up large transactions had nothing to do with us. We only process data that we receive. In other words, we process the dollar amounts the systems send us. It may have been convenient to...

I took a deep breath and got out the remote today. Raised the self serve bays from $1.50/3 mins to $2.00/3 min 30 sec. I then increased the discount days from $.75 to $1.00 to keep a true half price happy hour. I did watch a few customer's pull in and use the wash without any funny looks or...

Hey everyone, I have noticed the last few days that my system checks on my Etowah Valley credit card timers have been very random again. I ran my personal credit card this afternoon while washing my truck, and I do not see it posted on my transactions for today yet. I am wandering if Blue-Pay...

Thanks for all the opinions. Now the hard part.....actually doing it. I think I will leave the vacs alone and raise the self serve and automatic prices. Hopefully, I can also say that I didn't hear a single complaint. Thanks, Lighthouse.

I am contemplating my first real price increase across the board at the car wash since I have owned it. Here is my current pricing. Self serve bays: $1.50/3 mins. Same as every wash in town. Vacuums: $1.00/4 mins. IBA: $7, $6, $5, $4. I would like to increase my prices. The vacuum's will...

Gateway Changers in St. Louis MO is who I use.

Quick question on this older post....does the Razor have the on-board dryer option like the High Velocity? I know this next question is a matter of preference, but if you had a choice between a new Razor and a new LaserWash, which would you choose and why? Thanks, Lighthouse.

I had the same issue. Someone plugged it up and then tried to pry them out. After I cleared the coins, the acceptor just passed the coins through and kicked them out. I had to send mine in for repair. They said that something was mis-aligned, but I sure couldn't see anything bent. Guess...

Jim is out of the office until Thursday. I was looking more for some feedback from someone that actually has one in service. I was under the impression that he had shipped several of them out and was hoping someone on the forum was using it. Thanks, Lighthouse.

Hamilton ACW 4.

Does anyone have Jim's new system up and running on their ACW yet? I'm getting ready to call him tomorrow and hopefully get one ordered. Any thoughts on the system, pros, cons, etc? Does it come with that super bright new LED or will I need to get one of those as well? Thanks Lighthouse.

I put a temp sensor on the return to the floor heat boiler. The thought is that when the air tempature is below 36, that the circ pump kicks on. When the return from the floor is below 60, then the boiler will fire. I'm hoping that when it's cold, that the liquid being circulated will keep...

I have a related question.....when you use the timer to kill the boiler at night, does it kill the boiler and the circ pump, or just the boiler. I just had mine reconfigured and was told that the circ pump will still kick on at night if the tempature was low enough, but the boiler will be down...

Sparky, how did you isolate the inputs from the switch room. If I remove all the wires from the harness except the power and ground, then try the function, will this do the trick? Lighthouse.

I have 2 bays that over the last week have started to repeat the function over the speaker. It only occurs on the "wash" function, and seems to be random as far as the timing. I called Jim and he suggested to unstack the boards in the timer and put it back together. I checked the grounds and...

Well, today was the big day. I took the PC to the car wash and watched the CAT video before pulling the plugs on the pump. I found all 3 of the o-rings on the top valves were cracked and had some chunks missing. The lower valves looked like they were not far behind so I replaced all 6 valves...

Thanks for the advice. What kind of dollars do they get out of the seal kits and valve kits? Lighthouse.
