I've been asked to do it before. I turned it down because I wasn't too sure on how to do it. If it's what I'm thinking about you make up a liquid mix and pour it into the breaks between the concrete pads?

yea, but you live in CT? you buy it locally?

I found a pool place that will sell it to me for 16.99 a five plus tax. After reading your post I'm assuming that's a good number?

I told them I wanted to buy at least 30 gallons, so I was hoping to get a quantity discount. Maybe 30 gallons isn't a large amount to them?

Does anyone know where I can get some 12.5% in south Jersey? I have called a couple of pool companies but they want to charge me $5.00 a gallon,

I don't know if anyone will comment on this but I thought I would give it a shot anyway. I have noticed that a few of the local strip malls don't really have anyone clean their sidewalks or storefronts. So my question is, how would I go about approaching them in order to obtain their business? I don't want to go in with an outrageous number that they never consider me or a number so low I don't make any money. I guess I'm just looking for a little insight on what to charge or how I should go about figuring what to charge. thanks mike

is it normal wet areas multiple times if the mold/mildew doesn't come out? or does it mean I'm just not using the right mixture?

I have enough paint sprayers. I'm looking to expand my business into pressure washing. Just trying to figure out how far I can go with this machine. My prospects look pretty bleak, not that this is a bad machine. Hopefully in time, I'm going to invest in a skid mounted hot water machine that can mount to my trailer. I appreciate all the help. Especially Russ, thanks for all the info but I'm sorry you talked me out of getting a new pump. Haha. mike

where do i look to get a replacement pump?

what would be my benefits of running 5.6@2500? or the disadvantages?

What size pump can I run off a 13hp motor? I called the manufacturer and they told me that what I had was the largest I could run. I've seen bigger pumps on the same motor? I'd like to put at least a 4 gpm pump on? Any insight on this would be great. It has an AR pump right now. thanks mike

my .02. I tried simple green today on my neighbors gutters. it works, but it takes a lot of effort to remove the stripes. A LOT OF EFFORT. and i gave up after about 10 minutes, i only got about 8ft and you could still see them. it was definitely cleaner then the rest. but not good enough

when you say flatwork, what are you referring too? a house that big would take me a few hours. lets say I replaced the pump, would my motor be able to push more than 4gpm? it a 13 hp honda.

I have a 3.5 gpm machine. Is that a big disadvantage to me? All the threads I have been reading keep talking about a 4 gpm machine is necessary. My last machine was a 2.8 gpm, so this is upgrade for me. I used that machine for 5 years, but basically to "wash" down homes before they were painted. I wanted to move up to something that would provide more power and volume. I was looking to open myself up to other oppurtunities with this new machine. I hope I didn't make my decision to quickly, it is a hot water machine though.? mike

sorry. It's for the pressure hose. instead of pulling back the collar and slipping two hoses together you would "screw" them together.
