    Vending Aluminum Cans of Pop etc?

    I get maybe 6 a year that blow out. I thought if it got worse, i would put rubber drawer liner on the outside angles that cause the damage.

    Just curious if anyone is going to their get together. I really want to go, and was wondering what everyone's plans are? It gets expensive for me from the middle of nowhere!

    Credit Card acceptance at changer

    I would really switch to tokens, as everyone will now be able to use their C Card to get laundry quarters. It will cost you fees for zero business.

    Paint Booth in Bay 3!

    They are not good paying customers. They are vandals and treat them as such. A good paying customer would treat your wash with respect.

    Tankless Water Heater For Floor Heat

    Those are nice diagrams. I just bought a Lochinvar 199K 96% eff. boiler from carwashboilers.com Not sure if this makes a difference, but every 2 years we have the boiler inspector stop by. $35 to the state, and the inspector is sent by my insurance co. They test the low water cutoff, and the...

    Credit Card acceptance at changer

    Last year i needed a new changer and got the standard changer with the credit card. The changer has worked flawlessly and i do about $1200 a month on credit card. I have the butttons set and $5,10,20,50. Only 1 or 2 $50 in the last year--90% $5 and $10 I am actually pretty happy with it's usage.

    airlift door trouble

    Is the IBA actually sending a signal, or is so quick it won't reverse the door. On my old IBA the signal pulsed so quick- It wouldn't see the signal. We put in a ice cube relay with a small timer to hold in for a half second or so, and then it worked. Or it could be the eyes, unless all is...

    airlift door issue

    That narrows it down even more to the up valve leaking. The last time i bought one they were just over $200 if you need one.

    Love to have Cryptopay - but can't get it in my country!

    Well with the new apps for cellphones to pay for things, and the almost outdated Near field-Cell phones -they can authorize and pay for items. There will be alot of choices that are even cheaper in the next few years. My kids say you can order a pizza with an app and pay for it. Why with a...

    airlift door issue

    I think you need a new fitting to hold the hose on. The valve either has something in it to allow air thru, and can be taken apart and cleaned, or will need replacing if the cleaning doesn't work.

    Spray in bedliner on steel doors

    I tried it a few years back on the IBA dryer stand. I ground off the rust blisters and cleaned it up first. it worked really well, but in a really wet location will need some touch up every year or so. Most of the solutions are poly or fiberglass doors- Not alot of security unless you build a...

    Attempted Stringing In NC

    The switching of $1 High security tokens is one of the best ways to go along with CC acceptance. 3.5 yrs and loving them. No quarter thieves, laundry takers. I get about 50 a week in each Shur-Vend, and same amount in vacs- vacs still get alot of quarters. Load 4 Times the $ value in your...

    Credit card system

    I have the hamilton dial up. Slow but very reliable. You may want to talk to cryptopay- they seem close to having an acw system- cheaper- faster, but last i heard they were working on getting it to work on more than one price.

    Attempted Stringing In NC

    #1The valuable lesson learned is never give the police (money) evidence. #2- also-never check to see if dyed money is from some robbery. #3 never report a meth lab on property.--Wash it down-throw in trash. #4 never ask someone washing blood out of the trunk, if they killed...

    Last Ditch Effort Painting FRP?

    I don't think paint will stick to tar anyway. You need a thinner version of tar to remove it. Diesel fuel, kerosene, wd40, or i always used from the body shop stores a nice wax and grease remover- it didn't seem to leave that last little bit that discolored it from the tar. Try a small spot...

    New Vacs or Combo Vacs

    If they steal the old vacs, I would be worried about new ones. That would be the biggest issue to base your decision.

    Pex Tubing repair in concrete slab

    I think i would contact the manufacturer of the fittings, as their may be a reaction with the concrete that may affect the fittings, and use their recommendations. Most recommend to use a sleeve, or covering to isolate the fitting from direct contact with concrete.
