[Sprayers]

Hey guys, looking for a pump to spray large areas of concrete for rust removal. Currently use pump up sprayer, but takes too long. How many gpm and psi should I get? Shurflo, Delevan? Also, anyone know where I can purchase a portable spray system? Thanks,

[Oxalic acid]

Where do you guys buy your oxalic acid from? I get it from the Chemistry Store- 38lb for $140. Any cheaper places available? Also, what type of sprayer/method do you use to apply the acid? I use a pump up sprayer, but it takes too long for large areas of concrete.

Thanks,

Mark

Can you recommend a dregreaser that is cost effective for use on large areas? Been using some local Zep purple, but too expensive. Need something more economical and works better. Thanks,

[engine revving/pressure fluctuating]

Thanks Shawn, I just bougt the unit last week- brand new. Maybe it sat idle at the manufacturer for awhile. Is there a cleaner that I can run through the engine. I am no mechanic. Also, spoke with a rep at the manufacturer who said some crap about the reason this surging occurs is because the engines are being made to comply with EPA/emissions regulations. As a result, this surging may occur due to the modifications. I don't buy it.

[engine revving/pressure fluctuating]

Choking it slightly does help. What can be done to fix this? Run a cleaner through the engine? Also, when I turn the unit off, 1-2 sec later the engine pops. What causes this?

Thanks, Mark

[Portable sprayer]

Hey guys, looking for a portable/hand cart sprayer set up. Looking to spray concrete for rust removal, etc. Anywhere I can buy one? Build one? Shurflo set up. Any pics? Thanks,

Mark

[engine revving/pressure fluctuating]

Russ, as far as I know the unit was assembled upon my order. I'll check the choke and see what happens. Thanks for everyone's help. I'll update.

Mark

[engine revving/pressure fluctuating]

Maybe so. I bought the unit brand new on 2/9. I do not know.

Thanks, Mark

[engine revving/pressure fluctuating]

Russ, can you explain? Never had this happen with any other untis. If choking a little helps, is there a way to fix the problem?

Thanks,

Mark

Thanks for the help

[engine revving/pressure fluctuating]

Hi, I have a brand new unit-- pressure pro, 3500psi, 5.5 gpm, 18hp vanguard. Runs good at full pressure; however, when using a larger size orifice to reduce pressure for rinsing or using the variable wand, the pressure fluctuates/engine revs. None of or other units does this. What cold be the problem? Thanks,

Hi, I am looking for a product to remove black streak from the white painted wood of a pergola. Not sure where they came from- could be from the metal rooftop. I've tried gutter grenade which works great on al. gutters, but it doesn't touch these streaks. Anyone recommend a product?
