    Cryptopay in an in-bay automatic

    So Cryptopay goes through the paystation so that the paystation knows there's a car already inside the wash and doesn't send the Cryptopay pulse to the PLC?

    Cryptopay in an in-bay automatic

    How does Cryptopay handle stacking in an in-bay automatic? Scenario: Customer pays cash for a wash and enters the bay and it getting washed. Next customer pulls up to the Hamilton/WSII and wants to use Cryptopay and swipes his card and pushes the button. Does Cryptopay know it can't send...

    Counterfeit Bills and bill changers

    I go back to my original question: Has anyone had a known counterfeit ten or twenty go through a bill changer?

    Counterfeit Bills and bill changers

    Yeah, that's that problem. Once the bank thinks they're counterfeit they have to pass them along to the Feds- they won't give them back to you. I've tried. And you're out the $20 or whatever it's worth. I've not been able to test a known counterfeit in a changer.

    Counterfeit Bills and bill changers

    How confident are you in your changer's ability to reject counterfeit bills with MEI or Coinco acceptors? Reason I ask is that our area (Rocky Mtns) there has been a big upswing in $20's circulating around. During our deposits in the past weeks we've had several bills pulled from our deposits...

    Solenoid valve choice

    I do have two separate tanks with separate hydrominders. Those two tanks feed into the one Procon pump. MEP001, I would love to learn the Siemens software as that's what is running my automatic PLC units- programmed by a brother. I just haven't taken the time myself to study them out. Even...

    Solenoid valve choice

    My plan is to address the purge challenge with a timer. When we want methanol in the foam brushes all the bay's foam brushes turn on and purge for 18 seconds- the time to get methanol out to all brush heads. Methanol is blue in color versus warm soap of red. 18 seconds allows all bays to...

    My $15 per month internet solution for CryptoPay

    I'm using Nayax on several token bill changers, American Changer. They do charge 2.5% plus $.10 per swipe. They are the acting merchant provider for their readers when you sign up with them- you don't need a merchant provider on your own. Using the Nayax swipers I have a fixed price of $10...

    Solenoid valve choice

    Maybe I should explain further; I've got two foam brush soaps (water and methanol) one for above freezing and the other for below. I use a Procon pump for the foam brushes. Instead of ball valves to switch between the two soaps as temps go up and down I'd like to have solenoid valves (NO and...

    Solenoid valve choice

    Need a solenoid valve for both NO and NC applications where the valves will work under almost zero water pressure. The application is installed on a water tank where the only pressure will be that pressure from the height of the water in the tank. I've tried some of the normal valves that we...

    New IDX X-12, shame on me

    I did call IDX after Hamilton told me that the X-12 doesn't work in their ACW's. IDX says that it's still something wrong with my ACW's. We went back and forth and finally I hung up on them. Everything people say about IDX on here is true.

    New IDX X-12, shame on me

    I got talked into purchasing an IDX X-12 (that's their new coin mech) to put in a Hamilton ACW. "Just plug it in" IDX said. "Works great" IDX said. Shame on me I fell for it. Got the X-12 and it won't work in a Hamilton ACW. IDX says "sure it will". After several phone calls to IDX their...

    Car Wash insurance

    I am also with State Auto. Was told that what they are doing is raising the rates so much that all car washes won't go with them but those that still insist on State Auto can pay those super high premiums. I'm looking at WCA and elsewhere.

    Wash Select II and J-17

    Thanks. The explains it. I've noticed the lights on the door do activate when loading a wash. I'll put an ohm meter on common and one of the four wash terminals as make sure they're working. Love the "zip-tie engineer". So true.

    Wash Select II and J-17

    JG, thanks for the reply and the detailed info. The plug I'm asking about is not the "hand shake" plug but the wash interface plug- J 17. It's the plug that tells the wash's plc what wash was purchased. It's got one "common" port and then 8 other ports (if you can sell 8 different washes)...

    Wash Select II and J-17

    Looking for someone to explain on a Wash Select II how plug J-17 works. It's the plug that interfaces with the wash's plc. Thanks

    Weep adjustment driving us crazy

    What Randy says. I would first get rid of those individual solenoids- at least pull the guts out of them so they're always open, test your needle valves to make sure they are working from closed to full open, 12 oz per minute.

    Weep adjustment driving us crazy

    So you have a NO solenoid valve then the needle valve then a check valve and then that tees into the HP line? That NO solenoid valve is so that if/when the weeps are "on" in cold weather and your customer wants to use the low-pressure presoak the weep water won't dilute the presoak. That's...
