    Solenoid valve choice

    Agreed, you're going to wind up with some overlap that will lead to foam brush freeze ups unless you just buy a purge system. There are plenty of purge systems already out there available created for exactly this. I have one at one of my self serves and it works pretty darn good. What's going...

    Airlift Door doesn't open trapping people inside?

    I would chdck a few things. First would be the limit switches. If one of them is bad and possibly sticking on it can make the door do funny things because both relays will be on at the same time. It will give you an error that goes away by hitting the stop button to clear it and then being able...

    Solenoid valve choice

    It's probably not the valve that's restricting the flow it's more likely the orifice size. Most are only a 1/8 orifice. That's just too small for gravity feed

    Cold Climates and Doors for IBAs

    I set the exit door to close at 50 degrees and the entrance doors to close at 40. I like to keep the entrance ones open as much as possible to make sure people know we are open.

    Lever wire Connectors?

    I LOVE lever connectors, have had great luck with them. They are a bit pricey though compared to wire nuts.

    Where are airlift Doors Zerk Fittings?

    Squeal could be the motor. They don't last long, I've went through probably 5 of them in a few years. Do yourself a favor and look at a clearview door from gallop next time around instead of airlift. I'm much much happier with my two gallop doors than my 4 airlift doors.

    New location. Is my startup price too high?

    IMO, I'd lower the cost to start and do less time, maybe not necessarily deviate so much from the cost per coin, but lower start up time. You're in a small town, and also a fairly poor demographic. Yes, the wash is rehabbed from having a bad reputation, but in a small town, you will quickly...

    Vac Credit Card same as cash?

    If it's count up though they are going to shut it off when done, no? Maybe that's not how cryptopay works, but that's how my cc system works. So they will swipe, and it's 2 dollars no matter what. They will shut off when done. So they may only vacuum for literally 1 minute and then hit the...

    Vacuum dirt robbed last night

    Also, we just added the je adams retro lock guard kits to all our vacs at one of our stores....they aren't as slick as advertised, extremely loose. Just begging for someone to put a screw driver behind it and pry it. We were able to tighten them up a little, but still not what we thought we...

    Customer lying and trying to get a refund.

    Why wouldn't you just explain that you watched the video of her wash and that you can assure her that everything functioned properly, and that she got her full wash, there was no shut down. Sometimes if people get a different package than they normally get or just flat out aren't paying...
