It would be nice to get an alert if a change machine goes out of order (service light comes on). Since the service light is powered by a signal wire I am sure it’s possible to connect it to some sort of device that could then send me an alert. Anyone done this? Appreciate any ideas.

I have this triple foam setup at one of my locations and would like to figure out where it came from so I can add the same type at another location. It is well made and simple and only has one flojet and is very compact and I like better than the ones I see for sale now. Anyone know who made this?

Just redid all of the high and low pressure hoses on our roof and would like to protect them from the sun to get as many years as possible out of them. Any suggestions for something to cover them with? I was thinking of something like split wire loom but since the hoses start in a large bundle...

Does anyone know the difference between these two models of MicroCoin QL acceptors? Q3130-DO and Q5242-DO? I have a bunch of the Q3130s but they are out of stock everywhere right now so I found a used acceptor and bought it but can’t seem to get it to work since I guess it’s a slightly...

One of my changers got broken into last night and I see Rowe makes a high security faceplate with a narrower slot. I have had a hard time getting Rowe parts though - does anyone have any ideas where I could get these? Rowe part 45048010 Any help is appreciated - need to get these ASAP before...

I recently acquired another car wash and it has two Rowe BC-1400 changers (with the Mars conversion kits). They each have the biggest 1000 note stackers and during the busy times those stackers have to be emptied more often than I would prefer. I don’t have much more wall space to add another...

My spot free decided to stop working today. After probing around with a voltmeter it seems like one of these resistors (? Edit: googling the markings, might be “bridge rectifiers” whatever that is?) might be the issue. I am getting 24v on the left side but nothing on the right side when it goes...

I have some LED modules that have burned out and need to be replaced. I bought the modules from Dixmor before but they are currently out of stock. I found an older post on here with a product on mouser.com but I bought them and they are not the right size. Anyone know where I can buy more of these?

More fun at the car wash. Some genius spent several hours over two separate days breaking into one of my vacuums and severely damaged the meter box and faceplate (and got maybe $5 if he was lucky since I had just emptied it). I am hoping it might be possible to cut this damaged one off and...

Anyone else experiencing a dollar coin shortage? I have had no problems the whole pandemic but just now my local bank said they are unable to get any dollar coins. Anyone else hearing this? If I have to switch to tokens, what are the best ones to use? Hopefully something the same size as dollar...

Cleaned off a shelf at the car wash and found these hoppers. I have different changers and have no use for them. No idea if they work or not but I would guess they do since they were rebuilt in 2015 and have been sitting on the shelf since then. If anyone has a use for these please let me know...

Anyone have any tips/tricks for cleaning the inside plastic on the MicroCoin acceptors? Once they are in use for a while the gunk from coins starts to coat the plastic walls and the coins get jammed more often. I have tried using electronic cleaner (to not damage the internals) but that didn’t...

My spot free pump right now is a Cat 5CP2150W and a Baldor motor. The pump is vibrating enough to be noticeable in the bays so I need to either repair it or replace it. I haven’t had a chance to take the valves out yet but I am guessing it is probably washed out? If it’s not washed out I can...

I have been having a lot of problems with homeless people dumping over my trash cans (I just use empty 55 gallon drums) and throwing the trash around everywhere and am desperate for ideas. I have been considering buying some vandal resistant trash cans that lock, like they have at parks and...

After being frustrated by the fact that CryptoPay won’t repair swipers more than a few years old and after reading on here that changing the buttons is fairly easy, I thought I would give it a try. My first problem was that the screws holding the back cover on were so rusty I had to drill them...

I have a Fleck 9000 mechanical head that is washed out and the valves/seals are old anyway so I need to replace the whole head. I bought what I thought was the right part but after receiving it I noticed it was quite different and after googling for hours I now believe they make a 3/4" meter...

I have a Rowe BC-1400 and started getting complaints that it was eating money… as in, accepts $1 and makes a clicking sound but no coin comes out. I took a look at it and sure enough the bill acceptor takes the $1 and the coin dispenser flap at the bottom of the $1 bin makes a clicking sound as...

With the single phase Air Shamee motor setup with 3 motors, I currently have 3 separate relays, one for each motor. I had one go bad and caused the fuse inside my bay faceplate to burn out, but the problem was I had no way to tell which of the three relays caused it so I just replaced all...

I currently have triple foam dispensed from a foamy coil hose and the rubber gun. I would like to add another low pressure foamy product (like presoak) and be able to dispense it from the same gun, but I imagine it would take too long for the first product to clear the hose before the new...

Hello - I would like to update the firmware on my bill acceptors. What do I need to do that? Seems like I need this part here: https://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-59779-mei-bpm-lite-bill-validator-programmer-115-vac.aspx I would also need some kind of adapter to plug it into a wall outlet? And...
