We are using Cryptopay in our self serve and dog wash with no issues. However, now with MasterCard changes etc that will require new modems for Wash Select II's, I am considering installing Cpay in our IBA. The outrageous cost of the modem from Unitec makes Cryptopay much more attractive as an...

We all get our share of dirty coins gumming up our coin acceptors and then there are those laying around the lot. My bank seems to frown upon accepting them however. What methods or products are you using to clean coins? I really don't want to invest a bunch of time cleaning them. Seems like...

Had an opportunity to review pricing for Cryptopays new fleet program. Seems pricey so I thought I would check with others to see what you think. I currently do not have a fleet program for our self serve bays so it is hard to get an accurate number of projected costs. So, I took the self...

About every year/18 months I see someone asking about floor mat cleaners. Each time, there are a few responses but no one seems to be excited about owning them except the testimonies from the manufacturers websites. Why is that? They seem like a good fit for our industry and might cut down on...

Thinking about adding a fragrance dispenser in our dog wash. I couldn't find any previous forum discussion on this topic so I thought I would throw it out for feedback. Anyone have experience with them? I am most curious about: 1) Is it worth the money? 2) Are you happy with the durability of...

I have been trying for over a year to convince my local city government to offer a waste water credit based on ICA's water use study. Posts made a couple of years ago by forum users named squeakyclean and Ted Mcmeekin indicated they had been successful in doing what I am trying to do. I have...

The topic of credit card (cc) acceptance continues to be popular among us. I installed Cryptopay in one of our self serve (ss) bays and our dog wash in Feb, 2013. At that time I promised to keep you all updated on my experience. Having reported results from the first year it is now time for...

I have tried on a few occasions by email to get an update from Unitec to no avail - no response. So, has anyone heard what plans Unitec has for making their equipment compatible with Europay, MasterCard and VISA (EMV) enabled cards? These are the credit cards that have chip technology and a...

I am looking to replace a Coinco bill validator (MC2600 series no longer supported by Coinco) and was intrigued by Pyramid's Aqua series. I found little information about them other than the flurry of activity surrounding the launch of the product in 2012. The videos of them shooting water in...

I just stumbled upon a cloth foam brush made by Erie for the self serve bays. This may have been around and I have not noticed it but it sounds interesting. I have always used hogs hair brushes but the lower price of the cloth brush caught my attention. Anyone using them? If so, how well...

We installed Cryptopay credit card system in one self serve bay and our dog wash a little over a year ago (Feb 2013). I thought it might be helpful to share my results for the first year. Some pertinent facts: Our city population is about 35,000, we are the only car wash with CC acceptance in...

Had a leak in our in-ground heat that was allowing some portions of our concrete to get ice. We found and fixed the leak over the summer but suspected there might have been another smaller leak we could not find. (The leak was detected by forcing air at 100 psi into the system.) I replaced the...

Our community of approximately 35,000 people is experiencing large and sustained annual increases in waste water rates. I am trying to organize the local car wash owners to see if we can get some relief from the rates. My question for you is, has anyone had any success in petitioning their...

Here is a question for the Cryptopay veterans out there. We recently installed Cryptopay in one self serve bay and in our dog wash. All of our credit card transactions are processed by the same processor (First Data) which includes our IBA. I can isolate Cryptopay transactions from my Unitec...

Is anyone else experiencing a problem with snapping antennas off of Chev. Tahoes? We operate an Autec Hybrid Evolution machine. This is a new problem for us which started at the first of the year. No changes in soap etc to cause a problem. It just started snapping antennas.
