If anyone in the San Antonio area wants some equipment for parts or to use I am hauling all my equipment off. We have sold the real estate, and the new owner will demolish the wash. Four bays worth of equipment, drums of soap, Mega vendor machine, Autotec, Selectovacs, new softener, cryptopay...

Could someone in the SA area send me a PM.? I have a local question I prefer to not post.

We have been fighting this for months. I've read several threads about this: https://www.carwashforum.com/threads/laser-4000-trouble.3801/ https://www.carwashforum.com/threads/laser-4000-keeps-hitting-rear-of-car.11161/...

Is Surevend still in business? I found this thread and it looks like things have changed. http://www.carwashnetwork.com/venue/102/big-eagle-enterprises.htm I need a part and cannot find anyone to call to place an order. Anyone know where I can get parts for my Surevend? I need a T...

Who uses it? and is it worth the extra $180 per year? Also is it worth the money to sign up for the receipt options? Lots of extra money spent to see how much money they owe me. For those who don't use analytics, are you satisfied with your statement reports each month? There should be an...

Just got my October statement from First Data. There is a note at the bottom: Effective January 31, 2017 merchants processing less than 1,000,000 Visa transactions annually and using 3rd party for POS application, terminal installation, and integration must must engage PCI Qualified integrator...

Just switched to First Data as my merchant provider in my laundromat and still considering Crypto at the Carwash. The PCI compliance requirement for First Data/Ignite payments was about a 30 question survey along with the required scans of my IP address. I passed, but the whole dynamic changes...

Still considering credit cards and asking questions. What do you do when a swiper goes down? You send it for repair? new one? Do you keep spares?? I know they are in a harsh environment and will get wet, perfect for electronics to fail.:(

I have a LW4000 with VT and it measures correctly when it creeps left toward the front bumper, but when it crosses the rear of the vehicle it sometimes goes wide to the right limit, sometimes measures short and hits the car as it comes down the right side creating an impact switch alarm. We...

I've been researching all I can about Cryptopay and want to retrofit my ACW on a LW4000. The Installation video shows testing with the customer selecting the one of four options first, then swiping the card. What if he swipes first, then selects item? I can't find any reference to that...

I have a Syncro 1500 R/O production unit. It should produce 1.1 gal/min. It has dropped to .3gpm and the regulator has no effect on raising the production, and I am getting excessive reject water. The output meter shows 90-95% range which is one notch below the best. Has my membrane blown a...

My son called me today and said someone attempted to drill the lock on our Surevend machine with a Medeco lock in a twist handle. He cannot get the lock open now. Can someone PM me a way to get the lock open? Don't post it here for obvious reasons. I'm on vacation and he is watching things...

I can grab my arch and wiggle it back and forth (arch rotate index axes). This indicates a worn key or gear box (I think). It's been so long since I replaced one, I don't remember how it comes apart. The 1" pipe is attached to the straight swivel, then passes through the arch index cam, then...

I have an older autotec linked to a POS4000 in a C-store wash. It serves me well, but the display on the Autotec LED is too small and hard to read in sunlight. Is there an after market large display that could be paralleled to flash the same text from the Hamilton that customers could actually...

I just read an article in the Wall Street Journal of the onerous reporting requirements for 1099's in the healtcare bill. Anything you pay to a single payee more than $600 requires a 1099 sent. Pay the gas company 600- send one. Pay the city your water bill $600 send one. Pay the insurance...

I upgraded to a VT on my 4000. If a car goes wide to the right the arch goes wide and attempts a 270 turn and swings to the outside of the t-bar. When a turn to 0 (home) is attempted it gets hung on the t-bar and goes motor run on/arch rotate fail. It broke the shear pin last week. It has...

I can't get the film off the fiberglass covers on my LW4000. Muratic acid did the trick in the past, but we aren't having much success with that anymore, and I hate the toxicity. I guess I could sand the film off. The gel coat looks great if I can get the spot clean. I'm a lazy on the hard...

I have been selling $1 tokens since 2001. I use IDX tokens just a bit larger than a quarter. I think it's 1". I have IDX X10 acceptors. Originally the high security token cost me .31 cents. The last batch was nearly .75 cents. It now cost me more if they lose it than it cost to run the...

Does anyone know if anybody has challenged a sewer charge evaporation allowance in court and won? I think a few have negotiated privately and received some relief, but I'm looking for a court case. Our city is preparing to change its water/sewer rates and charge 100% for every gallon used as...

This is not how I wanted to spend my night. The clerk at the c-store next to my carwash called at 12:16a.m. You've got to get down here, quick. A customer had driven into the alley behind the carwash, crashed into the power pole and knocked down the c-store transformers laying them across my...
