Power Clean

Jet Dry! 1oz per 5gal of house wash mix, leaves the windows nice and shiny. Works better than the 5 gallon rinse aid I use to buy.

Guys, I'm in a pinch. I normally use the Citrcleen Product made formally by RPC Chemicals, but I'm out. I haven't ordered any because this time of year, my house washing is for the most part dead. Well it's not dead apparently and I need something until i get get some more of what I use. I got caught with my pants down. Is there any store bought products from Walmart or such that can do the job decently? All I have been using is Citracleen, Bleach and a rinse aid. Just need some hardware/department store detergent that can get me by.

Normally mold and mildew growth is dormant during the winter months due to the decrease in humidity. That's why you would never see it that much out west because of the dryer climate. Mold and Mildew need moisture to grow and you don't have as much in the winter season.

NO, SS is not completely corrosion proof, but it is highly resistant to corrosion. Trick is to keep it clean. Here are a couple of links with probably more info than you want to know about stainless steel. http://www.azom.com/details.asp?ArticleID=1145 http://www.azom.com/details.asp?ArticleID=1182

You can find a lemon with any make. I have the 04 F150 and even though my truck has been okay, there are alot of people out there who have had so much trouble that they fought tooth and nail and had their trucks bought back by the dealer. Don't think it's just Dodge. I can't understand why a manufacture wants to always redesign stuff, with the exception of body styling, they could use tried and true engines and trannys instead of all this new fangled stuff that takes years to work the bugs out.

Just got my new ZK1 unloader today and got it installed. Works great and no problems with the 3/8 bypass line. I installed a "1/2 to 3/8" 90 at the bypass port which may have helped. Also had to install a 1/2 to 3/8 HP fitting at the discharge port to mate the unloader to the unloader block. Installed new tips, run it up to 3500 PSI and she's purring like a kitten. Thanks all.

I agree with what most have said, once it pops somwhere down the middle, you can rest assured more will follow. Toss it and buy a new one. I run a Goodyear Neptune 1-wire 4000PSI. One continuous peice 250ft long. I get a lot better wear with a one peice hose vs shorter hoses and connections. So keep field repair kits on hand and a new hose in the truck for back up if you go the one hose route.

Had a friend of mine who is in the lawn care biz. Decided he would try his hand at PW. Bid on a gas station, $350.00 to wash the building and entire parking lot. Now, not only is his bid ridiculous, but he owns no PW equipment whatsoever. Machine Rental $120, helper for the day $60, Hardware store degreaser, $30, calling me to bail him out and me making $200 in an hour just to wash around the pumps…priceless. He still had to stay and finish the rest of the lot...with a WAND! He later ask me what I thought he should do. I told him to stick to cutting grass.

Just get you some good inserts for your rubber boots. I where LaCrosse Grange boots in summer and the 800g thinsulate in winter. I have no problems.

As long as you are confident in your abilities and you have repeat customers due to your reputation, I could care less what any article says. I would be willing to bet that not one of your customers has ever heard of much less seen an issue of the Cleaner Times. Just keep gettin'-r-done!

After buying a new rig and after viewing all your post and seeing how busy you are these days, when did you find the time to do that? lol. Congrats. I have 4 now. Can't wait until the two boys are old enough to tag along with daddy and do some work for me.

I use lowesthosting.com. In over 2 years their server my site is on has never been down and it cost me about $80 bucks a year. They have great packages and good extras that come along with it. I'd check them out. Just my .02!

True, makes sense and I should have realized that myself. Thanks Alan. It's been one of those days.

Well, I'm curious. If this unloader relieves pressure off the hose and pump when you release the trigger then most of it must go to bypass, right? So I was wondering how the 1/4 line handles that. Obviously it does, can someone elaborate a little?
