Robert, Thanks for that...your insight is always appreciated. I think your info is most relevant to large urban areas and express conveyor wash competition. I am in a small city (30K pop), with no express conveyors here, only traditional SS bays and IBAs. BTW, I do have an IBA and a...

Reds, With the new WashPay server, you can do all of what you ask. To get the details on what you can do, read the programming manual here; http://www.startwithunitec.com/Portals/0/pdf/SS1000%20Sierra%20Manage%20App%20Programming%20Manual%201-52.pdf

Diamond, Yes RFID would be nice, but RFID is a $2k install. So I'm going to the card system that I already have and limit the washes instead of being unlimited (currently at 3 per week). Perhaps with those numbers you would lose money. But I think you need to look at your competition...

They are not registered to any vehicle. They can be passed around. I am basing my program on 66% redemption...but even if it is totally redeemed, I will still make a profit. A big oil company here has a similar program that is very successful. An acquaintance of mine use to run the...

The other thing I would like to mention, is that I was able to do all this by myself. From installing and configuring the washpay server with my designed plans, to the signage. Make Gift card holders (like the ones you see at dept stores), all the forms and info handouts and finally the...

So for a while now I've been wanting to roll out a 'conditional' unlimited washing program in my SS bays (I have a separate subscription for IBA) . However, the Gen 1 Unitec Washpay server wasn't able to do what I wanted. So about a year and a half ago, I started discussing what I wanted to do...

I guess Robert is away or wants to keep his idea for paying customers. Anyway, I too have struggled with the idea of the unlimited pass for a touchless IBA. This week I am rolling out a new program that is subscription based and allows some of the same features as the unlimited pass. Here's...

When you look at the ginsan remote here; http://www.ginsan.com/Literature/Lit%20008%20-%20GS400II%20Timer/index.html you can see the 'TV, DVD & Cable' buttons, so they seem to be using a traditional IR remote that has been reprogrammed. However, this does not mean you can get one and scroll...

I've worked with lots of remotes and I have a Sony TV remote programmed for the Display timers I use. You need to get the codes from the manufacturer. There are still many remotes that can be programmed with individual codes and learn from other remotes.

Meet too Robert.

Every time I look at PTZ cameras, I wind up installing more fixed cameras. Its cheaper, gives you multiple recordings and less maintenance/moving parts. Afterall, we have set points we want to monitor (coin boxes, garbage, petwashes, etc). I don't really see the need for the PTZ.

Made my own with an old coinbox, timer, double solenoid, pressure gauge, water separator and hooked it to my compressor. Works great, used a lot...payback was 3 months.

Any comment on the 2way audio?...that's the only part that seem original.

I do vinyl signs for my wash. Regular stuff should work fine. Even the thin stuff should last you 5 years or more.

Flamingo, I use two sensors....

I've replaced a few 250W mH with T5HO and find the T5s have more light...especially after a month or so. Plus they last for years and are cheap to replace. The fixtures I have are $100 each incl bulbs.

So over the mast couple of months I've been trying to upgrade my washpay server and get some odds and ends. I had a long phone discussion with the regional sales guy as I didn't get anywhere with emails and messages to my distributor. As per his request I sent my contact info. I hear nothing...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzRIusVGTc8 Weep, an extra boom and hose. How was it setup at the pump bench? Would need to add some control solenoids to the pump benches to redirect the HP pump output, or did they have a separate pump?

Thanks John, How can he get at the bill acceptor? Was he able to get his hand in, pop the cartridge off, unlock the plate and pull the bills out? I suppose you likely have a different bill acceptor than my Cash Co.

Mufwapo, Worked in this area for many years. There may be some equipment and routers that can do what you are looking to do (like a Netgear FVS338). You would put the alarm system at the head of the phone line chain, then the CC modem then the FVS338 and configure your router to dialup only...
