Atlantic Power Washing

Please rate and subscribe. I am going to start a new power washing YouTube channel. I plan to have a new video up each week on different various aspects of this job. In my next video, I will be cleaning and sealing a deck from start to finish. Then I will be washing a house from start to finish. I think you guys will enjoy it. Thanks for your support.

Has anyone ever tried using an airless sprayer to apply degreaser on gutters? I have a Graco 5900 hard mounted on a trailer with about 200 foot of hose on a hose reel. I have about 15 foot of extensions for the airless sprayer. I am tired of brushing on the gutter cleaner and dripping it everywhere. My biggest concern is what will the degreaser due to the internals of my pump and the packings inside. I am not sure if the alkaline would damage the stainless steel internals of the pump. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Tom

Your best bet for that motor would be 5.6 gpm at around 2500 psi...get the General TS2021 pump. Good luck.

Thanks to all, I really appreciate all your complements and support. So far we’ve scheduled over 20 house washes, just from that article. I fell very fortunate for this as I know many companies are hurting right now in this economy. Beth, how have you been? I haven’t spoke to you in awhile, I have been sorta living in hole the past 2 years due to the loss of my 16 year old son 6/10/2007. It’s been a slow recovery, but I think I’m back on my feet now. Thanks a million for the advice on the attachment. Do you mind if I call you? I may be doing some more work on the web site.

Fredericksburg.com - Houses need a bath, too READY TO GO ON WASH DAY SOME THOUGHTS TO CONSIDER We were blindsided by our local paper yesterday with this artical. We ended up scheduling 15 jobs yesterday with no questions asked. Now if I can just figure out how to attach a link from this artical to my website. Beth Please?

Thanks Beth, all is well here. I hope the same for you. Merry Christmas and happy New Year!

What I do is run a gas powered Graco 5900 paint sprayer. You can run 4 250' hoses and still mantain a nice even flow. I know it sounds like over kill but it works great and you can sometimes find these on ebay for pretty cheap. Just mount the sprayer to your rig and forget about it. The only thing you have to take to your deck is a brush for back brushing.

You should sorten your hose to 150'

Make sure you are using at least a number 10 nozzle. If you're using the number 4's, then one of the unlouders might not come out of bypass. One thing I would suggest; buy you an unlouder like the 2140 green spring, they have two inlets and are rated at 21 gpm, and tie both machines into that one unlouder....

Try shortning your hose to 150'....200' is too much back pressure for you downstream to work properly. If you have a burner make sure the downstreamer is after the burner. Other things may come into to play but I would try that first.

I bet it's a percarb..that's what it sounds like to me.

Oh yea, gotta love spring....we're so full of energy, the weather's nice, Nascar's back, and we start making money again. It's all good until the humidity kicks in around July....then we're tired and want a break.

I here you about the snow. As you know, I'm just south of you. I've been playing all morning. Anyways, you're right there's nothing free for us, except for maybe the catalogs that come in the mail. That cost the suppliers money. However, it's a nessary evil, it's the only way them to markit their supplies. This website's free to all of us. I don't learn much from it because i have been in business now for almost 10 years and have spent 100's of hours studing, but it does keep me interested in my job as a professional pressure washer. It is important to stay interested, because as Donald Trump said "It is important for you love your job in order to be sucessfull"

All my estimates are over the phone. Saves more time and money than I loose on an under bid. My prices are on my web site. Most customers just call and say "I want to shedual to have my house washed" no questions asked.

Well, when I wash a house for $250 and then clean the sidewalks and maybe a patio at no extra charge, it's free to my customers. What do I get out of it? Hopefully a repeat customer who is happy with my work and will tell their friends about us. I believe in making my customers feel like they are the ones who made out on the deal, not my company.
