Can anyone recommend a good auto-retractable hose reel that will handle 60-75' of 1/4" hp hose? I would like to have something mounted near the mid point and high on a tunnel wall to facilitate wash downs in either direction. Thanks! MC

Is the wand standard length? I was thinking shorter might also lessen fatigue.

Thank you, David. I'll add one to the order and give it a try.

MEP, it sounds like you need a new bank. Why would there be a $50 fee added to the exchange for dollar coins? Do they do that with quarters or strapped currency? Sounds arbitrary and capricious.

Quarters are a necessary evil. I tried to stop taking them and it was disastrous. Our changers only give Gold US Dollar Coins. Bays accept both, but mostly dollars used. We also use the Coinless Mobile App to achieve CC acceptance.That has gone over really well.

And people will still buy them.

How old is your system? I also have Alibi and find it tedious to perform searches on. Considering updating.

We're into it now three years. It has increased traffic, car count and the bottom line. A lot of my customers would be subscribed elsewhere had we not made the choice to go this route. No regrets, but I do get perturbed by jacked up pickups with aggressive tires that lay mud everywhere, come...

The Hypro Trigger Gun is promoted in a popular supplier catalog as "less operator fatigue". Unfortunately, none of the myriad gun options lists weights and my only experience has been with US Paraplate and the house brand. The former are durable but heavy, the latter don't seem to last. Anyone...

Thanks for your insights. I'm already loving not having icicles hanging off the equipment. Instruction signage has been ordered - time will tell how that works out. I had my first drive-through in 30 yrs. last Feb. Customer was able to get back in and hit gas peddle instead of brake. Foot came...

Just completed installing an entrance door for the IBA. Anything I should be aware of with regard to unintended/unforeseen consequences? Thanks. MC

Yesterday's WSJ - Netflix hits 200 million subscribers.

I think the gym membership analogy is bogus. It compares active and passive activities which skews the value proposition. Exercising takes motivation and EFFORT. At the right price point it becomes inconsequential whether it actually gets used often or not at all. Excuses abound. Visiting a...

I have always favored CSI Performix, with JBS Storm Hyper a close second. Both high pH.

Multiple leaks in radiant tubing may prevent adequate floor heating this winter. Looking for successful alternatives. Will be adding an entrance door to seal up the iba, but it will still need a heat source. I have a feeling it’s going to be a challenging season. Thanks in advance. MC

Following advice from a previous thread, I'm currently using a ZTE hot spot with service provided by Consumer Cellular. After finding the right location (attic) it has worked well until it didn't about 2 weeks ago. Seems that the T-Mobile/AT&T merger created a hiccup but tech support was...

We have used dollar coins in our change machines for 20 yrs. I tried to eliminate quarter acceptance last year with terrible results. Some acceptors couldn't be de-programmed and those that were would jam with quarters. Signage was posted stating quarters no longer accepted and that has helped...

Dan, Dan, I was under the impression that repairs were no longer an option for Sensotron or is it just the Multitron?? The Multitron was a reliable work horse but the new World edition has been nothing but trouble. I have one that's dead after less than two years. I will send it in along with...

I have two vacs that are driving me to drink - but what isn't these days?? Yesterday, a new Magikist acceptor was installed and everything was fine through the coin/time validation process. Later in the day I get a call informing me that it was accepting quarters and not giving time (vac did...

Have you considered alternatives? We just replaced 30 year old FRP panels covering cinderblocks. It was a relatively easy prep and installation and should require less maintenance than an epoxy coating going forward. MC
