surface cleaner not spinning

[surface cleaner not spinning]

Remove tips, flush lines, clean tips and replace. Hold surface cleaner on side to verify good flow from both tips.

[Concrete cleaning with Oxalic]

You can also apply oxylic acid using and xjet m-5. Mix about 2 to 3 pounds per 5 gallons and spray it on the concrete. Make sure you hit all concrete because it does brighten it, and you will see where you missed a spot.

[Cleaning for Heroes]

Signed up last Friday, received PDf and will return all info ASAP. Thanks

Thank you, and your sons.

[Post your favorite wood photo!]

This is the view I love from our river home.

[Chlorine diaphram Pumps]

I don't know what you are planning on using the pump for, but 220psi or 360psi is more than you need for roof cleaning or for applying cleaners on wood.

[The X-Jet debate]

Downstreaming all of my house wash chemicals, but still clinging to the M-5 for rinsing. On my J-rod 4way holder, I have My M-5 for rinsing, 00-40 for high soaping, 15-40 for low soaping and 15/40 for mid range soaping. With the M-5 with me at all times, it makes it easy to hit concrete walks or drives with a shot of OX for brightening or some HD-80 for a quick deck clean.

[Awning question?]

Pre Wet awning topside and underside before soaping with normal house wash. Do not let dwell on awning any length of time. Rinse awning then rest of that side of house and re-rinse awning.

[The year of callbacks...]

Only thing I see is a few darker runs that appear to have come from the weap holes in the siding which can come from spraying upwards on the siding.

[Hose Reel for Soap Hose]

When I used the Xjet with 50' of hose, I found it easy enough to just wrap the hose around the top frame of the hand cart. Paul how much 1/2" hose will that stainless reel hold?

[By-Pass Tank]

A 35 or 55 gallon drum would be all you need for a tank. Bob will sell you a hudson float valve and a line long enough for your discharge back to your tank. The discharge line back to your tank does not have to be a high pressure line because it just hangs in the top of the tank. Remember to aim this recyle line away from the discharge of your tank, to diminish the chance of the bubbles it creates from getting to the suction of your pump causing your pump to cavitate.

[Xjet Soap Pail And Hose]

Yes, you can use a 50" hose for your Xjet setup and it will pull just fine. I had a setup with a 15 gallon tank mounted to a hand cart that I used for years and it worked great. I now downstream of course like mentioned earlier.

[Oxalic and Sodium Hypochloride]

I have mixed some oxalic acid in a bucket that had recently contained sodium hypochorite(forgot to rinse bucket), and yes it does put off some heat and a great fragrance.

[Bar Stool Economics]

I drink alone!

[How do you spray your chlorine?]

Downstream Chlorine on minimal dirty crete, and M-5 Chlorine on real dirty concrete.

[NO on-site water]

It may not look to proffesional, but why couldn't you use an adapter(old waterbed fill kit) and hook up to a sink inside one of the units and run your hose out the door or window?

[Should I wet deck prior to using EFC-38?]

What Celeste said.

[Need Help With Mix]

12% works better when downstreaming, and of course you can adjust the strength by adding more H2O.

[Looking for prior damage....]

The obvious things like damaged siding, torn window screens, marks left on siding from a previous cleaning job gone way wrong, chalking, paint stripped from gutters etc.

[New to Residential Pressure Washing]

How are you putting you applying your housewash solution? X-jet, downstream injector (what size), 12 volt pump, etc.?

[first vinyl]

used 1 gal 12 in 5 gal bucket downstream

Should have used approximately 3.5 gallons of 12% and filled the rest of the way with soap and water for downstreaming.

[Your Favorite Charity]

I have given my fair share for 30 years in a row to United Way at my real job.

[Need some quick opinions]

I would be very carefull with the SH fumes in a basement, you would need a respirator.

[The fight against composite decking]

The trend in my area is stone, stamped concrete, and pavers. I love the rocks a lot better than wood of any sort. We are all going to low maint. homes and it only makes sense to me to pay a few more dollars up front and have your patio made of stone vs wood. If you do nothing to a paver patio for 20 years- it will still look good, try the same with any type wood.

[What's wrong with this guy ? ....]

I hate to be the devils advocate, but don't most of us buy our supplies from a vendor that has reasonable prices? We all love Bob and yes he has the best at it all, customer service and PRICE. But, would we buy from him if he was way over priced then his competitors?

Do we thank Walmart became the power they are today by having the highest prices?

I looked at Eds site and I see the marketing tool he is using to get customers, and it doesn't look that bad to me (maybe I'm old, dumb and blind).

Yes, I agree he is advertising a price to get the calls and upsell so he can make a living at what he is good doing, selling his service and making customers happy, while like he said making a good profit.

I wish I could dictate the prices of house washes and roof cleaning in my area, but hay this is a business and we will always have competition which makes it interesting. We can't make the rules, we just have to deal with them and the monsters they can create. I love America, The land of Oppurtunity.
