All you are doing is encouraging him

Not sure, I have never got around to buying a pressure gauge. By the math I would say about 1500 psi. All of my other machines are 25hp kohlers but I didn't want this one to go to waste when I cut the burner off of it so I put a 8gpm udor on it and it has been running for a few years now.

I have a 16 hp Briggs that flow 8gpm all day long. You sacrifice pressure for volume. you could 50 gpm with a 16hp if you didn't care about pressure. Think about a trash pump.

Who uses the "Ladder Saver"
offduty replied to Little Buddy's question in Residential Pressure Washing
You are not washing mold when you do laundry and the washing machine rinses with cold water. I did the same thing you are doing 10 or 12 years until I figured it out. Always learning and improving. We run 7 machines and I don't even have hot water anyore, never saw the need for it so I sold mine. We don't do flat work. -
Please Help me Ultilize my Current Equipment
offduty replied to Plazaman's topic in Tools, Equipment & Basic Maintenance
Bonded around here only applies if you go past the thresh hold of a dwelling or business. Records checks and policy to cover anything missing/stolen after you leave. Doesn't apply to what I do as I don't clean windows and have to go inside a house. -

I wish folks could see the truth in that, but we are not helping this guy with his original question. -
Who uses the "Ladder Saver"
offduty replied to Little Buddy's question in Residential Pressure Washing
I figure that Bob has to do it to keep traffic at his site and is the lesser of two evils. Bob is a one man show and I would rather support him, even if I don't agree with his views. I have written Cleaner Times and others trying to stop the spread. Randy, they are not listed on his store site, just call him. -

Either the SSS or Bob's new injector will draw through 300' of hose so no need to place one in line. I would go with Bob's only because I noticed E-spec had a uammc logo on their site. Heat breaks down bleach, so if you ds with bleach I would leave the heat off. -

I would have just passed:) -
Bleach the driveway before you hit it with the surface cleaner, then, like above, hit it with bleach after it is rinsed.

downstreaming questions
offduty replied to detailbarn's topic in Tools, Equipment & Basic Maintenance
Paul, I understand what you are saying I think, and we may be getting at the same point. In your example the pressure may not go over 800 psi, except when you initially pull the trigger, but you are bypassing a lot of water, wearing out the spring. I set my unloaders to allow zero bypass when I am flowing. I could care less what the pressure is, I want the volume. Why would someone want to save $20 and not get an unloader that matches his pump is my question. -
I wissh ya teh best of luk. I wood probobly lowur my prices to beet everyon else and runned them out of busniess. Then the markut will be yours.

Hydroxite? What is that?

Split personality disorder? I can't make heads or tails out of him. Very entertaining though.

downstreaming questions
offduty replied to detailbarn's topic in Tools, Equipment & Basic Maintenance
If you have a pump that is rated for X amount of pressure and buy an unloader that doesn't meet that pressure, the pump doesn't just quit producing more pressure. There are probably a lot of vendors that set unloaders using a gauge. Don;t take my advise or a vendors. Reason it out and figure on it. I have been given a lot of bad advise from vendors/contractors/etc. My fault for following it if something goes wrong, not theirs for giving it. Some guys just don't know any better but are trying to help. Call me tomorrow if you like and I will help you any way I can. -
downstreaming questions
offduty replied to detailbarn's topic in Tools, Equipment & Basic Maintenance
You should buy an unloader that is rated for your machine. The one you got will not work for you with out causing problems later. My injectors stay on always. They are on quick connects mounted under the swivels on my reels. -
xjet = downstreamer with variable nozzle?
offduty replied to premiumpowerwash's topic in Tools, Equipment & Basic Maintenance
Don't get me wrong, I love the Xjet. I was using the M5 years before Tracy or anyone else could even get them. I have even help box up a few hundred of them in Mike's shop. However, downstreaming is quicker, don't have to carry around a bucket or push some homemade cart across people's grass, and uses about 1500 less psi. DS affords a much more controlled stream of water. I use the XJet for acids and a few other things, but never on a house. -
Wow, this is got to be one of the strangest things I have ever seen. Some one tries to help you so you don't get hurt. Chloride and chlorine are not the same thing. People here have helped you get your website up from 3 grade reading level to about 6 grade level. You have learned from here, yet, in your broken English and poor spelling you rant and rave about riddles. Surely you are someone just playing on the web. I find it hard to believe that you run a business. If I am wrong I apologize, I just don't see it.
