    Seeping spray wands in each bay

    That advice is in your previous thread. Starting another thread on the same problem only confuses things.

    Hard plumbing Air Shammee II

    No, the joints were primed, glued, and assembled properly. Like I said, it was a compressed air line on a hot day. I have no idea how much air the blowers are moving or what the temperature might be. If ambient temperature was 100 degrees, a forty degree rise from the blower wouldn't be...

    I have a refrigerated dryer on my compressor, I've never seen a drop of water in the water traps.

    Hard plumbing Air Shammee II

    Not sure I'd trust PVC, enough air flow through can create enough heat to dissolve the cement and blow joints apart. Not sure about shammees but, I've seen it happen with compressed air lines.

    IBA Membership experience data

    No, the way the system works, makes dealing with theft easy to deal with but, it is something you have to spend a few minutes a day dealing with. After the first couple of months people figure out they're not going to get away with cheating you and the attempts drop dramatically.

    No, Dencar reads the plate as they enter the bay after they have purchased the wash.

    IBA Membership experience data

    The app is not designed specifically for your wash, it's the same app for every wash with Dencar. Someone could have passes at different washes each of those passes would show in the same app listed by location. Dencar does not get a percentage of sales, there is a yearly fee and monthly charge...

    Yes, memberships have a set amount of washes per month. The levels are based on the wash chosen: basic, mid, and top washes.

    Customers trying to hack coin mechanisms

    I found some quarters, nickels, and dimes that had been 3D printed by my vacuums the other day, I'm guessing someone thought they would work.

    Hot water heater 100% required?

    I'd be very careful about repairing or replacing leased equipment. Landlord typically get to retain any leasehold improvements at termination of the lease. Even if you retain the equipment, what are you going to do with it if they take back the building?

    Did you replace ceramic with graphene or just add graphene?

    IBA Membership experience data

    Yes, Dencar uses LPR to verify the being washed is the car registered to the pass. I try not to let customers know that it's reading their plates so they don't start swapping plates. They could swap plates to steal washes you would have to look at their pass history to catch them.

    Light shadowing in self serve bays

    You're going to get more shadows with wall mount versus ceiling mount. I have four ceiling mount fixtures per bay, six in the RV bay, and no problems with shadows. The shadows will definitely be worse with your van, probably barely noticeable with cars. All my lights are on a lighting controller...

    Bad News for us all!

    I know, and the one that says 56% pay their balance every month was only 1000 subjects. The others show very different numbers.

    Dencar

    I've had a few jams in mine, it has been an old crumpled up bill every time. It's happened maybe 3 times in 7 months.

    Bad News for us all!

    1,000 people is a very small sample size, making it very likely for the data to be skewed one way and not representative of the general population. I wouldn't put much stock in that study.
