wet sandblasting HELP
Alexy replied to BROWNIE's question in Having A "Blast" (sand, soda, dry ice, etc.)
It will work but it will be like washing a semi truck with a tooth brush. Also if you sand blast equipment anything other than grill grates and cast iron range tops you will remove any porcelan coating or finish any metal has along with the grime and it will not look presentable unless it is a complete basket case. Also on gas equipment unless you take all the regulators off before you clean them I will almost 100% gaurantee you will ruin them with sand getting in the regulator valve. -

Official Honda engine repair thread
Alexy replied to Andrew Bandarovich's topic in Tools, Equipment & Basic Maintenance
What he said... Shut the fuel off take a 10mm socket and drop the bowl, protecting the rubber gasket at the top. Clean the bowl out and rather than ream it out take carb cleaner and shoot it straight up the jet, then tun the fuel on and let it flow for a minute. It loosens the junk in the jet and the high flow because the bowl is removed allows the garbage in the line to flow straight out as well. One other thing to do is take the 3 bolts off the tank take it off and clean the screen at the bottom of it also flush all the rust out of the tank. Take a few bolts and screws and put them in the tank and shake the hell out of it to knock all the garbage off the inside of the tank then open it up flush it out and let it dry out then reassemble. -

Advice about hot pressure washer equipment
Alexy replied to bigshark's topic in Tools, Equipment & Basic Maintenance
We have 2 of the Hydrotek SS40004VG units 4 at /4000PSI They are excellent units and are well engineered and have high quality from one end to the other. We only do KEC so I will not say if they are any good for house washing. BTW the insurance needed for KEC work is NOT the same as what you use for house washing or any other pressure washing. A general laibility policy that is used for KEC work will be denied by any carrier, might want to get a policy that is correct before you start doing that work. -
Burner fuel pump troubleshooting.
Alexy replied to Andrew Bandarovich's topic in Tools, Equipment & Basic Maintenance
Awesome, Thank you I have 2 that came off dead machines so I can play without effecting a working machine. Funny this popped up last night guys called said the burner was going on and off and the machine had pressure issues. I asked if the flow was good and they were not sure. Sure enought hey took the water filter off the intake line and it was full of what looked like ciffe grounds but were iron chunks from the water lines we hook up to. Put it back together and ran like a champ. -

Commercial Chemical Applicator License (??????)
Alexy replied to ttmoney's question in Residential Pressure Washing
Or if you just pay the 800 bucks for the certification then sat at home while two guys you pay 10 bucks an hour use your "certification" burn down retirement homes. :black_eyed: -
I t was written into the lease that all routine maintinance to include oil changes, burner ignition and filters were covered. EVERY time it was taken in for service per hour meter or a issue ( seals failed on pump 2 years into the lease ) the issue was contested, that inluded the manufacturer's reccomended first tune up when it was new. Bottom line for straight pressure washer in this market there are some phenominal deals on used equipment that will cut your costs by thousands that are far better than a lease. Not to mention that you will also need specific insurance that will cover the cost of the lease ( not just the property) over the life of the lease.

Your crazy to lease anything other than trucks. If you have to rent your equipment first and take the income you make towards the purchase price.

With out a doubt leasing pressure washing equipment was THE WORST BUISNESS DECISION I EVER MADE. Leased a pressure washer from Direct Capital Leasing. Up front costs are usually close to a down payment you could put on straight financing equipment. The write off you get from the lease financing is disappearing under the new tax rules so there is no more benifit there. The repair costs on the equipment were allways contested as they would say any damage was from some form of imagined abuse we did to the equipment. At the end unless it is written in as a specific price buy out the lease company will want close to new/used price for the equipment. We finished our lease almost 2 years ago and we are STILL getting bills for the taxes on the equipment since they did not notify our municipality it had been taken back. My advice look for used equipment or if there is a large piece of equipment yuou need rent it and build the price into the job.
