  1. but for an easy vinyl good sized house I can get by with x-jetting a total of 10-15 gallons of wash mix which is no more than 2-3 gallons of soap and 2-3 gallons of chlorine (12%)

    Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I can wash a good sized 2 story vinyl house with 2 gal of 12% and 1-2 qts of F13 and the rest water in a 5. Then X-Jetting it at 20 to 1 and yes it turns out nice and clean.


  2. Obviously, keeping a fleet of this size clean is a formidable task. Currently, USPS has hundreds of local washing agreements scattered from coast-to-coast, but they hope to streamline the administration of the fleet washing by replacing these existing contracts (as they expire) with fewer national, regional or local companies. And they are looking to the members of PWNA to help facilitate this process. In all, the annual revenue potential for our membership is $20 million-plus!

    Sounds like they realy want Fleet Wash to do the work so they can have just 1 company to pay. I hope not , but the way I read it the little guy will never see any on the work.


  3. Doesn't the basement have a sump pump in it already ? Use a surface cleaner if you have one. It will help with the water staying on the floor and not spraying all over the place. You can also use a shop vac that has a garden hose outlet that pumps the water to recover the water. I'm guessing your not worried about the real recovery of the water just the removal from the basement. Here is the vac I have

  4. For those that have a hot water pwer in an enclosed trailer and do not have it vented through the roof what is the distance from the burner top to the roof ?

    I just bought an enclosed trailer and don't want to cut a hole in the roof. It's a 6x12 with 7' inside height. I will have 40+ " from the burner top to the roof. I am going to put sheet metal inside on the roof to help with any heat just above the burner. It also has a roof vent that I will open when the rig is running along with the side and back doors.

    Thanks,

    Scott
