Yes, I think it is bent. You could try to bend it back upwards. Also, the spring nuts might need tightening. Do you have another overhead boom in the bay? If not, you probably don't need an offset boom.

Could you reprogram your acceptors to not accept them?

Oh, I see. No dumpster needed for those.

Isn't this countdown mode?

We have two shampoo/fragrance/vac combo units and two fragrance/vac combo units. They all get used a lot, but I have noticed that people spend WAY more time on the shampoo. The fragrance gets used more often, but it is just for the last 20 or fewer seconds of their vacuuming cycle.

And the upload speed is usually a lot slower. We currently have 31 4K cameras (about to go to 38) with 300 Mbps download and 20 Mbps upload at the wash, and it seems fine viewing remotely. If you have slow internet, you can lower the bit rate in your system to make the video smoother.

How do you guys dump those massive trash cans when they are filled with water bottles, canned goods, or car parts? We have 22-gallon cans, and they get somewhat heavy with this stuff.

If building from scratch and wanting to offer free vacs, I would gate them off in a way that only the customers exiting the wash bay can get to them. Dencar can start a vac (or self serve bay, air machine etc..) for members. You could even install those central vacs and put a motorized valve on...

This is my temporary solution for now. Not as much pressure as you but it keeps coming off with good quality single worm gear clamps.

I'm not seeing Restore on Stone Soap's website. When was the last time you bought it?

What do you mean by that?

The self serve type of customer, IMHO, is more likely to be loyal to you if you run a nice looking and working wash. Probably once a week a new self serve customer (or one that has been there before but has not ran into me) hunts me down to tell me how much they love our wash. The feeling I get...

That does seem like a lot of pressure for a regular hose barb. I have noticed there are variances in the diameters of fittings and hoses within a nominal size. Some seem too loose, and some you have to heat to get onto the barb. Worm gear clamps can gaul and seize the screw before the clamp...

After looking at the original ones laying around that I took out over a year ago, I threw them away. Didn't even cross my mind that I could've had them replated.

I have always wanted to make one of those but never seem to get to it. I'm sure it will take a whopping five minutes so I really have no excuse.
