I went to the wash Sunday to find "FIX YOUR CAR WASH!!!" written on my pump room door. Checked everything and couldn't find a problem. Checked the video and found that he put 4 quarters in then punched the coin box repeatedly, then shook it by grabbing the coin return. Wrote on my door then...

Thanks for the responses. So it seems then the terminology is just incorrect. There is not a coin shortage, but there is a disruption in the flow of coins. The latter is a much easier problem to deal with. I will get a sign made up like the one above and maybe finish my research into...

I put a 3' piece of electrical conduit in the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket and poured a few inches of concrete in it. It has no value and it gets cigarette butts thrown in it pretty regularly as well as other small things that would be thrown on the ground. Worked for me.

I saw several news reports last week about a coin shortage and I ignored them. Today I was at a hardware store and they had a sign up saying to pay with card or exact change due to the coin shortage. I also had several large runs of 5's come through my change machine that didn't correlate with...

I found an iPhone, AirPods, and designer glasses in the last month.

Fill in the Blank: The funny thing about owning a self serve is you hate your customers as much as you love them.

Thank you sir that is what I was hoping for.

I have an AC1005 bill changer. The manual states that there is no way to reset the bill meter. The bill meter is only 5 digits and it is currently at 95k. So that means I am going to reach 100k soon and there is no way to reset it but it cannot display 100k. Does anyone have experience with...

Thanks for the replies. It seems the consensus is that I should buy it. I am researching the details of the environmental license right now to see if there is some type of red flag hidden in there. If the state board is not an issue I will buy it.

Hello, I bought a 3 bay ss about 6 months ago and it is my first time wading into this world. So far so good, wash is doing fine(with a lot of reading this forum and asking questions). The issue I am facing now is that there is a 4 bay ss that has been closed for many years about 5 miles to...

Embarrassed but the problem is solved I think....also embarassed that I posted this in the general thread without realizing there was a break down thread. I replaced my check valve with the recommended Fluid Controls check valve and had the exact same issue. When I removed the check valve...

I'm new to all this but mine were getting opened almost daily after I bought my wash. I took some tie wire and wrapped it around the latches and that has cut it from daily to monthly. A person can still unwrap the tie wire if they want to but it requires just a little bit of effort which...

Thanks everyone for the advice. That seems definitive enough on changing away from the Parker valve. Hopefully a different check valve solves the issue.

The check valve is like you said above the boom. The pump is located right next to the solenoids and I didn't see a check valve there but I wasn't looking for one either. The solenoid going to this bay is bay 2 of 3 and there is a solenoid on each side of it that are working(they are all on...

I had a Parker C400B check valve fail open which let the high pressure get back to and destroy my FLOJET pump on my tire cleaner. I replaced the pump and check valve and everything was working. A few days later the tire cleaner in just one bay (the one with the new check valve) would not work...

Thanks very much. I went back and looked and I missed the TM-6 as the part number. I appreciate the help.

Hello all and I very much apologize if this has been covered but I could not find the topic. I am extremely new to the game. I had an issue today at my self serve where the timer was stuck at 40:05 and would not count down so it was free washes for a while and would have led to a lot of waste...
