    Looking for laserwash remote box with joystick

    Anyone have the remote station with the joystick used for homing the machine they would like to sell? My razor remote went bad and I would rather just convert it to the laserwash 4000 style than replace it and have it fail again.

    Will Carwash Superstore aka National Pride ever open its doors to walk in customers again?

    Its such a pain to try to purchase anything from carwash superstore as a walk in customer. You have to call and place your order ahead of time. When you call they won't just transfer your call, you get the 3rd degree from the receptionist, who are you, what company are you with, etc, like it...

    Soda Sales Way Down

    For those of you that have a soda machine at your wash are you seeing a dramatic reduction in sales? Looking back in the last 10 years I am seeing a steady decline in soda sales. I am selling roughly a quarter of the product I sold just 5 years ago. Wondering if anyone is seeing the same trend?

    Laserwash 4000 procon pump replacement

    I need to replace the low pressure procon pump on my laserwash 4000. It currently has a 104E265F12XX procon pump, but my closest supplier is carwash superstore and all they carry is a procon 104E265F11XX. It looks like the difference is my current pump has "SPCL clearance (1x) liner & BRGS"...

    Is there a way to block certain credit cards on Cryptopay?

    So I have never had chargebacks before until I switched my Hamilton ACW to cryptopay from my old hamilton dial up credit card reader. Now I seem to get one every few weeks. So is there a way to block credit cards that have caused chargebacks in the past so they don't happen again? Has anyone...

    High leg smoked all 3 vacuum motors

    I got to the wash this morning and found a vacuum was not working. I checked it out fan found that the fuses for all 3 vacuum motors were blown. I couldn't get the fuses out of the fuse holders, so I bypassed all 3 fuses since none of my other vacuums have fuses at the motors. As soon as I...

    I wish cryptopay would make an hamilton ACW kit that actually fits without modifying everything.

    I have installed 2 of their cryptopay conversion kits on my ACW4 autotellers and ran into the exact same problem on both of them. First off the swiper mounts right where the token coin acceptor mounts on the back side and you have to chop the token coin acceptor bracket up to make it fit again...

    Cat pump oil revisit

    I have read the older forums where various operators said to use SAE30 oil in their cat pumps. When I read the cat pump oil bottle it says ISO68 "petroleum-based , hydraulic oil with advanced additive package to protect against wear, oxidation, rust and corrosion" So why wouldn't you just use...

    Cryptopay Tap...What a missed opportunity

    I saw Kleen Rite released a video on Cryptopays new tap credit card reader. My first thought is why didn't the make the swipe and tap into 1 unit? It appears you need the swipe head and the tap unit is an additional unit. Who wants junk mounted all over their meter boxes, vacs, and...

    I was thinking with the coin shortage it seems like the perfect time to raise prices if you are not at an even dollar amount. Is anyone else doing this?
