If you are constantly going through chemical injectors, check the psi of your pump. When mine was going through several a week, I found that my pressure had be increased from 3000 to 5000. Adjusted the pump back to 3000 psi and everything started working correctly. I think one of my helper twisted the unloaded.

We shut down in November, and start back in March. Work on equipment during the cold days,

Cleaner, These three pieces, I don't think go in the soap tube portion of the injector. I think they go into your pressure washing hose side of the injector. Each piece has a different size hole in it. Is the largest one for 8gpm machines?

Yes the ceramic ball and spring are in it. I believe these screw type pieces change out the 3/8 end of injector.

ckeener, I just bought a super suds sucker. It didn't come with any instructions, and three loose parts (screw with hole in middle). Do u know which part for a 8gpm?

I have been having a lot of chemical injector problems lately. I have an 8gpm/3000psi machine and don't seem to be able to keep a GP high draw injector going more that a couple of days. I rinse it out after every job. When they are only a couple of days old the ball isn't pitted. But it is usually pitted after a couple of weeks. What injectors would you consider the "BEST"? Also what size injector should I get? I am using the 2.1 and running 200' of hose. When I first got my machine, I may have used 3-4 injectors all year, lately I am doing good if one will last a week. Very frustrating!!!! Anybody have any experience with the chemical remote control unit (kinda pricey)? Thanks in advance for your replies!!!

Thanks for all the replies. Guy, I just noticed that you are in NC. When I get some time, I will call you. I am possibly going to be in Salemburg in July, and if I do, I would love to see your rig. Right now I am running a two portable machines (5.5/100 gal buffer and a 4gpm), on my 10X6 trailer. I have a portable hotbox, but can't carry the 4gpm machine when I bring the hotbox.

I am thinking about buying a new trailer mounted rig. I would like to have a two gun system, and hot water. I do mostly residential work, but do have a few commercial concrete contracts. I would like any suggestions on buying a new trailer rig. I live in Northeastern NC. Thanks in Advance for your replies! RJ

I like simple green, mixed 50/50. Also, doesn't burn your skin.

How much of the soap, plus 12.5% in a 5er?

I am looking for a housewash recipe. I have been using SC with 12.5%, which does fine. But I am interested in knowing what kind of soaps I can get locally to mix with 12.5%, that I can use when I am out of SC. I have heard of Dawn, Tide, Casacade etc. Just looking for a mix to downstream out of a 5er. Thanks in Advance!

I need some advise on my motor. I have a 20hp Honda twin motor, with a 5.6gpm general pump. It has about 250hrs on it. Today while pwashing, it cut off. I checked the oil and it has oil, and gas. If I let it cool for a few minutes it will start back up, and run for about 5 minutes and cut off. It won't start immediately after cutting off, it needs time to cool, and then will run for a few minutes and cut off again. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance for your replies!!

How many of you use a high pressure filter? And should I be using one everytime I use my surface cleaner or turbo nozzle?

I am paying $2.35/gal.
