I'd like to catch the problem with the first customer. Not the 20th a day later. I do plan to add this to my car washes, but I wanted it for my laundromat. There's not enough time in the day to sit through the cycles of 40+ machines to make sure they're working alright. Also, if a crackhead...

Honestly I'm probably a little bit away from getting to that. Triple Foam controller is pretty much complete, and I'm working on service buttons for my wash and laundromat. People seem to be too lazy to call or text me, so I have small 2x2 boxes with a stainless steel button and an LED. If...

Firstly, I have a Hamilton XE that is only 3 years old, and it's showing a "2." And "5" error, which is not in the manual anywhere..... Second, I got pissed off and spent $900 on a new validator and hopper switch. So far the validator has gone out of service twice in 3 days. The bills are...

Yeah, the bay timer will have a display, the vac won't. The vac timers will actually work in a bay for those who have the old washes without a display. Only thing slowing me down is finding a good display. I'm trying to find a nice small and bright RGB led matrix because I want the end user to...

I actually spent two years developing RFID payment system. The electronics were easy. But the website to manage own and customer accounts, online sales, gift cards, memberships, etc is just so massive. I finally put it on hold so I could whip out some quick and easy projects like this. Right now...

The air and chemical solenoids are opened by the voltage coming from the rotary switch, which makes the flojet pump automatically start cycling when it's given somewhere to go. The 3 solenoid outputs determine which color the flojet will be pumping from. If you're using a flojet, this...

That model is 183.99 on Kleen-rite, and it doesn't have any other features built in. If I want something with similar features I'd have to spend $300 on Kleen-rite. The time was well spent as well. I'm tired of being price gouged by car wash equipment manufacturers. My next projects will be...

Just leaving this here to show the the triple foam controller I've created. I got fed up with the high price of all our self serve equipment, so i started engineering my own. This is the first. Vacuum and Bay timers are next. the triple foam controller accepts input from up to 5 bays. It's main...

I didn't want to spend a bunch more money on swivels, and crawling in the attic If I was just doing something wrong and didn't realize it. Thanks! Guess I'll place an order.

So I'm rebuilding a 2 bay self serve, and I have a leaking swivel on my boom. I found a swivel which appeared to be new, still in an oiled ziplock bag with documents. I installed the "new" one only to have it leak just like the old one. It's entirely possible the last owner put a broken one in...

https://www.t-mobile.com/isp/ You can enter your address and they'll tell.yoi right then if it's available. Also comes with its own phone line if you want a business phone. I've never bothered to use the phone line.

600mbps is crazy fast, and you definitely don't need that for cameras. My home internet runs anywhere from 30-70mbps and I have about 10 different cameras around the property, and probably another 10 different devices connected to the WiFi. We also stream HD on multiple televisions. We pay...

I bought this property for the storage units.vi had initially planned to just tear down the car wash and sell the steel building frame, but it turns out the entire thing is welded together, built in 1978. So on a whim I decided to just rebuild the car wash. I program as a hobby, and recently...

No specific brand, I'd like to have it work on any pulse that a bay timer would be able to pick up. I planned on buying slugbusters for my car wash. It's a small 2 bay self serve in a rural town of 500 people. This is just a side project I started playing with because I thought it would be...

Interesting, but no fun just buying it. I'm just getting into electric stuff, but I enjoy programming so making the website to analyze the data will be a fun project.
