I have tried two different types of LED Bay lights and wonder about other operators results. I would like to convert all my bays but the cost is prohibitive especially if they have components that fail and eat up energy savings with repair bills. I purchased two of the replacement kits...

Thanks for the great ideas, I did not think of the heat gun. I'll post again once I have given it a try. Joe Dirt

We pressure feed our pumps. Hot water flows when a solenoid opens.

I received a sales solicitation today, they claim their "Water management H2 saver valve" will reduce the meter reading by compressing the air that water pipes contain. Indicating a 30% reduction. The valve is installed after the water meter on my property. Anyone know the truth about this...

I have dispensed the gold dollar coin since it was first minted. It is given as change in our automatic pay station. Plus we give 3 gold dollars and 8 quarters for a $5 bill in our change machine. A $10 bill gives 7 golds and 12 quarters. The gold dollar coins work everywhere, self serve bays...

AA recently introduced a protectant 2 pack wipe. I tried some thinking it would be an alternative to the sponge packet. Both come in 100 count boxes however the 2 pack wipe seems to be way over priced. I pay 48 cents a piece for sponges and 60 cents for the 2 pack. I retail them for $1 each. The...

You mentioned going to dollar coins. We use machines with two hoppers and vend both dollar coins and quarters. Dollar bill gives quarters, 5 & 10 dollar bills give combinations of dollar coin and quarters. For example a $5 bill gets you 3 gold dollars and 8 quarters. Then we value the dollar...

Reminds me when Hamilton would not support their bill acceptors when the new style bills were introduced by the US Mint. Every other manufacturer provided new chips for their equipment to take the bills. Hamilton would not provide anything so "EVERYONE" had to buy new acceptors to keep their...

I just switched from a vending machine where the product hangs from the helix to one where the products sits in a channel and the helix pushes it along the bottom of the tray. I am having major problems loading this machine for good dispensing and not getting stuck in the machine. The Armor All...

I would like to find a programmable thermostat that can be used to turn off my floor heat late night say 12 midnight to 4 am. I need it with a remote sensing bulb to allow flame activation depending on the outside temperature. I will only be interrupting the flame portion, the circulating...

The new banking law from 2008 allows for the Retailer to recover their credit card processing fees by adding a percentage to the bill. When the new programs are developed for processing the new CHIP CARDS, it would be nice if all the manufacturers place an option allowing for a percentage to be...

You should try posting the signs that say. No bucket or hand washing when customers are waiting, or not at all. That tells them up front your policy. Then ask them to leave. I loved the post about starting to wash down the bay. I am going to try that. If they are hand washing and won't stop I...

I purchased the T5 fluorescent when they first came out. Found the ballast only lasted about 2 years. First batch Kleen Rite did not stock the ballast. I did find them on the internet. However, I have found with the second batch the plastic parts holding the bulbs in place will break when...

We have to watch and make sure the metal content is unique and we don't end up taking a bunch of foreign coins or tokens. I did find one foreign coin that was passing for a quarter.

There is a product on the market that looks like peatmoss. It comes in bags and specifically designed to absorb oil and hold it indefinitely. The Pennsylvania Dept of Environmental Resources told me it allows you to soak up oil then take it to a landfill and dispose of it. You can use it and...

I have an old Polyvend machine. I need the corkscrew or pig tail looking rod that holds the product. Any chance one from another manufacturer will work or someone has some parts?
