    Heck of a find for surveillance system

    I think you need a DVR for coax cable based cameras and an NVR for cat5/6 cable based cameras. I think an IP system is just another word for NVR?

    Making this a secure website

    I guess what SSL would give this forum is for example, you are logging into the forum from an open wifi at the airport or something, someone sniffing the internet traffic at the airport won't be able to capture your password as it's being sent here because it will be encrypted. The forum...

    Speed up Foam Brush Soap Delivery Times? Check Valve?

    My foam brushes took about that much time when I bought my place, it ended up being because the weep was tee'd into the chemical line in the equipment room so it took that long for the weep water to get pushed out. My chemical mixes on the roof with air right above the boom and I don't have...

    do NOT use Newtek as your Merchant provider

    When I cancelled my account there I called and let them know... :) But yeah, I agree don't use them unless you absolutely have to (like you have the old dialup american paystation). They are expensive.

    polymax panels for baysne

    Mine were installed on brick & block... I used 1/8 for an IBA. I bought these to attach them to the wall. http://www.farmtek.com/farm/supplies/ProductDisplay?productId=28498&sku=FA6110&fromSku=108389&ict=accesory&icl=proddtl&isDoc=N&pageId=ItemDetail&rel=nofollow The plastic H trims were a...

    polymax panels for baysne

    You just missed out on the 20% off black friday sale! I just installed some and it looks nice (in an IBA) but I'd definitely go with soapy's advice of using the stainless steel dividers over the plastic ones for a self service bay. The plastic ones were brittle when installing in 40 degree...

    Customer sprayed HP soap into meter box

    Last night I got "served" a subpoena in regards to this, asking for my maintenance and service records for the machine that was damaged, lol... I bought the boxes / doors late 2016 and didn't install them until like spring of 2017. Then it worked flawlessly until the guy did what he did...

    Paystation Location

    I'm lengthening my bay and raising my roof to make room for a new IBA, just wondering if anything has changed in the last 30 years when my old paystation enclosure was built. How far away from the entrance to the bay are people building their paystation enclosures now days? What height from...

    Credit card upgrade to an American Changer Paystation

    They tried to tell me I'd have to upgrade the board, claiming I wouldn't be able to find anyone to be my merchant processor but I proved them wrong. :) Obviously not having the phone line will save some money over time. Cryptopay has better merchant fees than the provider I found. So it's...

    Credit card upgrade to an American Changer Paystation

    When I bought my car wash I had a couple of the old modem version of american paystations and no one wanted to give me a merchant account. I found a guy that would give me one through Newtek. Let me know if you want his contact info.

    What light fixtures are you using in your IBA's?

    If your bays were 32' long, how many would you install?

    Credit Card "All In Fees"

    I wonder why your WorldPay fees are so much? I have similar sales as you some months $400-$500 and they don't charge me $70+ It's usually around $40.

    New concrete slab thickness / mixture?

    I just tore out the concrete from one of my bays. It looks like the existing slab was 8" thick. Can I get by with 6" or is 8" some sort of car wash standard? Is there anything you mix into the concrete to make it better for the car wash environment? Also, how would you pour it for the new...

    Confused Customers

    I have a lot of customers that think my IBA is going to pull them through it on a conveyor... lol.

    Paraplate BR5-2 Regulator...

    When I installed some new ones recently I just squirted some cat oil in it but didn't "fill it".

    Any ideas on selling older RO system

    Can you please do me a favor and take some pictures of how it's all plumbed, I have one lying around that I wanted to get working again. Mostly just not sure how membranes connect to one another (mines got 3 membranes on it). Thanks :)

    Security Cameras advice

    Anyone have luck rewiring the cable that is on the camera? I've had a few that have corroded and stopped working.

    Storm Chaser Roofing Companies

    It's leaking in places. I see a few dings here and there, but I doubt theirs much correlation on where the leaks are and where the dings are. If it was purely cosmetic, I wouldn't even care, since no one except me would know about it.

    Robberies West to east central illinois

    I'm thinking about adding 4K cameras with zoom capabilities that monitor the perimeter of the property as I think you'd get a better look at their face at a distance due to the change in angle. Continue to use the HD cameras for catching the crimes but use the 4k cameras to get the best...
