I have used the Slugbuster 11 for 3.5 years and have not had a problem. You can insert a screw on the easy opening door and it will secure it so no one hitting on door will cause it to open. Yes the 2 will take a dollar and only give a quarters worth of time. I installed 26 of them. Over the 3.5...

yesterday when i got to the wash about 7am there was a customer in the only bay that was wet. young mexican kid. he drove off when i came up. started disconnecting the foambrush line in that bay first. i noticed that someone had taken the bruch and slamed it into the brick wall and broke the...

didn't have to worry about my soap line. it is the high pressure line and their is a thermostat that mounts outside and it can be adjusted to turn on at whatever temperature you need. whenever it comes on a senlenoid kicks on and the city water pressure goes out to each bay. both the car...

thanks for the input. just got back from blowing out the lines and unpluged the pump. customers will just have to live with disappointment.

i can't see blowing out the lines at 2 washes as it will be freezing for a little over 2 days straight. i would have no way to know when a customer turns on a bay and puts water back in the line. i was thinking about a way to attach the weep water to the spot free lines and flush the lines but...

all the poly lines are wrapped together. the pressure line is copper tubing and wrapped seperate. the spot free control pannel is mounted inside equipment room and was added on as one of my upgrades.

have made up antifreeze soaps for foambrush, tire cleaner, and pre-soap. the only thing i don't know how to stop is the spot free lines from freezing up. my washes are 30 plus years old and all the lines are run along the s channel. all the lines are inside pipe insulators sitting on the rails...

purchased coleman combos and 2 are carpet /vac's. the houston area only gets to freezing about 11 times a year. we are 50 miles south from the spot that they record. there is an artic front coming and we will be down in the 20's for about 3-4 days. all my tubing is insulated and weep works...

Up date. Went this morning and it appears that the pins were not sheered but the weld spot was popped loose at the pin. That seems to be the weak spot on the design. Security bar a must. THANKS

There has to be some thing else they are doing to get in. The sheered pin was still in the plug lock. Took my key and opened and the pin just fell out. There was a few scrapes on the lock but the key way had no signs of damage at all. Called J E Adams and who ever I talked to said never heard of...

Collected Sunday morning from all cash boxes. Either Sunday night or Monday night someone or a few people popped the pin lock right off and took money in all 3 of my J E Adams vacs. The vacs coin box has a pin lock holding it in. Their is a pin welded to the vac and the box slides in past the...

Does anyone have any suggedtions on how to stop people from unscrewing the 2" cuff off of the vac hose. Yesterday someone had the idea of removing 4 cuffs from 4 vacs out of 8 vacs. They then put them under trash in the cans. They put each in differant can. They removed the claws too, so in...

if you ask for proof of income from a tax return. you had better get 4 to 6 years or more back. a smart seller will increase sales on return and pay the tax just to increase the selling price down the road. the person selling wash will say just about anything to get you to buy. he is selling...

I switched to giving quarters and tokens from my dollar machines and I only had to adjust coin switch. Changed all coin mechs. If a customers pulls in a bay or vac that won't take their quarters they will move to another spot. Same thing happens again, they go to some other wash and don't come...

Morning. Have to share my experience with everyone. Jan. 1/ 07 I changed both of my washes to take tokens. I use Van Brook secure tokens. About the size of a nickle. Cost .20 each. I had been loosing about $1,200.00 of quarters at wash a month in Pasadena, Texas that is 32 years old. I would be...

I do use tokens. People also put quarters in too. Have used tokens for over 3 years.

Thanks for the help Used the vise grip idea and worked like a charm. Lock pulled out. Took 2.5 hours to reform box to fit again. Counted money and they would of only have gotten $31.25. Thanks

Morning everyone. This morning got to wash and found my JE adams vacumn had been pryed on to get to the money. The vac is 13 years old and has a pin lock type box. Who ever tried to get to the money also smashed the coin mech door. I was able to make coin door look back to normal. Just hammered...
