    Tennis Court Cleaning

    Thanks for the advice about cleaning the courts. I did get the job done - and it came out great. Courts: Asphalt with green/Blue and white lines. Problem: Baked on dirt - not mould - was the problem as the drainage was not great and they allowed it to go uncleaned for years. City and mud collected all over the courts and worst was drain areas. Method: I did it with a 28" surface cleaner - 10GPM at 3000psi/200 deg hot water. By the way - I never used my recovery system as I was using an old (non recovery) MTM / Whisper wash (1 spray bar with a spray tip at each end)- I found some 1/4 8005 (80 deg 5GPM 1/4 spray tips) and we used a monster back pack blower (RedMax EBZ8001) to move the water away from the cleaner to the lower part of the courts. Use of Chemicals: Bleach / De Limonene / Caustic used in high strength with various spray methods and dwell times - did not scratch/budge the caked in GA clay and mud. Note: All courts should be designed to drain naturally - from the furtherest point from the drain (highest point) to closest to the drain which is the lowest point. We still had to flush a bunch of water. We didn't damage the courts at all while cleaning and didn't have to watch for overlap marks as we were not under cleaning (barely cleaning) or eroding the surface away leaving racing marks/overlapping lines on the courts.

    Rob Rose, Look into having a pool filling company bring in a truck. Obviously that costs but at least you will have a flow to keep up. We use them when well supplied homes can't keep up. It's in the verbiage that the customer pays for it directly (keeps us out of the transaction). The tanker trucks are usually 3500-4000gallons Haven't had to use the tanker trailers yet. (thankfully) Rod
