  1. How long in business

    editing is fun and allows for deception by some.
  2. How long in business

    LOL, I love the reason for editing the post.
  3. speaking of him, he was parked at a hotel in meridian last weekend
  4. what are you trying to do with the aluminum trim, make it brighter, remove the oxidation?
  5. F-250

    DPF Sucks, but its going bye bye next week.
  6. is 7:1 a good mix ?

    need 12.5 % to be Ds'ing most of the time.
  7. Chlorine damage

    We have been burning the grass up like a drag strip at this one property. Its really hard to keep from it when the hydrants won't flow enough to use a garden hose and hose sprayer to water the land with. Its one of those soft-wash only jobs where the customer made it mandatory and the surface is aggregrate thats requiring about 4-6% sh on the wall to get it clean. I hate it for them but they were warned
  8. 15% SH!! Am I paying too much?

    106.53 for a 55er from Harcros. Free delivery for us, no drum charge... Delivery to jackson twice a week
  9. Trailer

    if your still in high school or college for that matter I will state this one more time for you as coming from experience. Don't purchase alot of equipment that looks nice just to have nice stuff. If your actually using it she will look like a french brothel's lady underarm in a few weeks hopefully so looks are not near important. Get functional, and don't go into lots of debt to get the equipment. If I purchase one machine I expect that unit to produce 200k for me. I put rigs together for less than 8k most of the time and are fully functional with better equipment then your looking at. If I had 12k in a unit It better make me 275 or more a year to be worth the extra expense. Forget financing the truck as well, get a beater and pay cash for the new one in a few months after you get going
  10. Trailer

    I would urge you to call Bob at pressuretek.com, or Russ at Southside-equipment.com, Paul at Envirospec.com, and other vendors of this board to get more bang for your buck. If you can handle a drill, have a hand to put a tank on a trailer and if you have a welder you'll even be better off but the welding is not a necessity. I think you can come up with a much better product than the powerline units for far less $$$ and since your not already operating then you can spend that extra time to put it together. At the least go to the local pawn shops and get a 4 gallon per minute cold water machine, get yourself a ds nozzle and a couple hundred ft of hose and get to washing some houses or something like that to begin generating some income
  11. Freaked out now!

    Sucks, but this is why were insured. Sh@@ happens and its unfortunate but it does. Best of luck with this situation and hopefully the dogs will end up fine and it won't cost you too much $$.
  12. Hose

    Red goodyear hose from home depot but I have been using some of the Black hose that is sold at walmart 5/8 in 100ft sections for 32 or 38.00. This stuff rolls up well, holds up well (remove the ends and replace with good ones from Parker made of thick brass not that thin crap the box stores sell) and you should be fine unless your running into water issues then go with the 3/4
  13. get the 2.3 injectors instead of the 3-5gpm ones and youll see a little difference. Call bob and get one of his custom injectors and you won't be unhappy
  14. Split Block Cleaning

    sounds like Mildew and 12% sodium hypochlorite applied 50/50 should take care of it and if not it will loosed it up quite a bit for you to put a wand on it and come off easily. If this block is near grass then you will have to water constantly in the areas your applying the 50/50 mix to hopefully keep from killing any grass or plants.
  15. Split Block Cleaning

    Welcome Tim, post up a few pictures of the problem and someone will have seen it before.
  16. does any one has national accounts

    LOL, all too funny. Good catch Kory.
  17. Psi is only going to attain max pressure or lower and the same as GPM. you can always lower the pressure and gpm but never increase it much more than the pump is rated for
  18. I used to come home soaking wet as well but after you get some hours logged you will figure out what will keep you dry. Everytime I hire someone new now I don't share those secrets just to see them drenched in the mornings when they return a rig to the house.
  19. Residential Concrete Chemicals...What Do You Use?

    there are other supplier's. Brentag, univar...
  20. The Perfect Ad! NOT!

    Hire him for your labor from now on and make him still pay for the gas in your machines
  21. Serious cold water rig problem...plz help!

    Change out your inlet hose to spa flex (white thick hose at Home depot or Lowes) and then go from there if that doesn't fix the problem. I am guessing your getting some sort of air leak as well, try moving the inlet hose around and see if your problem stops while your moving it.
  22. Chemical Supply near Birmingham, AL?

    Does anyone know of a supplier near the Shoal's area?
  23. Delavan Pumps

    If the battery is on your PW trailer and you just to happen to have another battery on that machine, just run the two in a series and you won't have to worry about charging it every. If she gets low just fire up the machine and bypass the water long enough to charge up the batteries. this may not be the best avice however it works and its something we do with our's
