I've been trying to find a garbage can similar to what @Graffiti Wash is looking for, but haven't really seen anything in the 55 gallon range that is secure. Mostly I just want to stop having to use garbage bags, and to prevent the homeless from dumping all the trash out on the ground, which...

I DIY'd it with blue iris.. built my own computer, bought a switch, bought IP cameras, a few 12 packs to convince some friends to help me run conduit and crimp cat 6. Spent some time reading on ipcamtalk.com to help get blue iris dialed in and to find cameras that were good at specific things...

If you vend quarters you could add more capacity by switching to dollar coins or tokens.

Besides cleaning it like Waxman said, the only other thing I can remember about my old super wash boiler system is that there is a site glass on the reservoir tank and your fluids need to be in between the lines on it.

My customers don't have credit cards, lol.

I'll try and take some photos when I'm over there tomorrow, it's definitely not pretty, but I used the taco pumps that 2Biz used.. 2 in series going up toward the takagis and another right before the manifolds to the bays. I have another small one on the pipe that goes up toward the roof...

FWIW I used two Takagi 199k's for my now 5 bay Super Wash.. I also have a loop running through the trough on the roof. I cheaped out and orphaned my 6th bay from floor heat, just using it to dry pit mud now days, but I plan to fix it eventually. Had I known upgrading the automatic and making...

Thanks! Always wondered why they started blinking like that, never seemed to effect it in anyway.

I saw this post on facebook the other day, probably not a small town but it's a good example of what tunnels are doing now days, I wouldn't ever want to keep dividing the pie between more car washes but they seem to think building new locations in slightly better locations is the way to go.

Maybe thinking about Mac. RIP Mep, I can definitely contribute some of my success at keeping my car wash afloat to his posts in this forum.

Yeah it's like a machine shop and motor repair place. One of their services was called Dynamic Balancing which I thought sounded similar to what I needed. Those motors are so heavy and the cans make it so awkward, glad they took care of it for me.

I've got similar dryers.. ended up taking to a local place to get the impellers balanced as several of my impellers were rubbing against the side of the can and making awful sounds. Can't remember exactly what they said they ended up doing but I think they welded something to a bolt and hoisted...

I'm curious, how much did you invoice?

Yes, here is the old post - https://www.carwashforum.com/threads/tankless-water-heater-for-floor-heat.9409/

Wasps are always around my garbage cans this time of year. They go away when I empty the trash cans. I'd be really surprised if it was honey bees. Another fun way to test it out is to get stung by one, if it dies immediately its a honey bee, otherwise it's a yellowjacket.

I've called my competitors and let them know about random issues I've noticed while driving by.. also help them with spare parts and they've helped me as well. Guess I try to be a good human, versus purposely breaking there equipment.

@ShinePro I'd properly blur out or remove the personally identifiable info on those photos... next thing you know some of these bots on the forum will be calling these people up and pretending to be a representative of your car wash.

I had a 699k BTU boiler that I replaced with two 199k Takagi's following 2Biz's guide. It's definitely saving me a ton of money... I plumbed it myself, so learned a few lessons there and it's not as pretty as Roz's. Maybe not the smartest idea but I ended up removing the tiny screen filters...

yikes... mine would never be able to figure that out. i'd probably go from like 80% cash back to like 95% cash.. haha.

Curious what kind of grief you've been experiencing? I'm not aware of any surge protection on mine...
