  2. Shurflo or Xjet?

    You sure don't want to let Clorine set in it!!! It will rust shut over night!!! But it holds up pretty good to chems. They do seem to be troublesome lil pumps tho. Rule one keep the battery charged on it or it will burn the pump up!! For some reason they don't seem to last long. Don't know don't run clorine thru mine every day like some people do. My 2 pennies.
  3. tax time

    I just love that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats all too true!!!!!
  4. Annual Sales

    Just a lil over 300k this last year. that is with 4-5 guys. Don't know how this year will be, because of my help problem... guess we will see...
  5. a good hot water skid

    This is true and it is NOT good for the unloader to bypass just a lil, it wears away at the lil ball in there and soon you won't be getting full pressure anytime. I have my bypass plumbed returning to my tank and you can see when it bypasses a lil. If we think a pump is getting down on pressure first check the pressure and that is good check the bypass and you can tell real fast if a unloader is junk. I don't think throtling the motor back would hurt it but I don't know that, but that is what we some. Lets ay you have a 7 gpm pump and you get a job that can't quit keep up with water take and throtle the motor back a lil and put 6 gpm nozzel in just make sure that it is not bypassing any and you will save 1 gpm. Done and do it!! I have three 7gpm pumps on my one trailer =21 gpm trust me we try the well out!! I carry a stream pump along just in case...
  6. Check this out

  10. 1/2" Pressure Hose

    I really thought about it!! I run all 7gpm pumps and always use 300-350 ft of hose, so the farther you go the more it adds up, but I just never bit the bullet yet... Thinking about trying it on one trailer maybe...?? Don't know??!! p.s. just got rid of my last 2- 6 gpm pumps and up graded to 7gpm. finnally!! Been wanting to for a long time but didn't.

  17. Your Story

    I got hooked on washing when I lived in NY for a short summer. My cousin did washing and I washed all summer in 01 for him. Came back to PA and got my rig set up in feb. 02. Washed lots of trucks and logging equip. Anything and everything!!! Times were really tough but it was just me, no wife. In june 03 I bought 1/3 of a mans p/w biz out. Then in june 5 04 I got married and in july 04 I bought the rest of his biz out!! That was a big bite there!!!! So now there is 5-6 of us working with three trucks and trailers. Do anything!!!! Lots of Ag work.
  18. I try to save a dollar where I can!! Like was said easy take offs save alot of fuel!!! When you take off just let it slowly climb not just floor it. I can tell a big difference on the fuel mileage when I real run it or just ltake it easy!!

  21. Purple Power

    Someone was talking about purple power here some time ago. Was wondering who all used it? What do you use it for? And how do you mix it? Do you mix anything else with it? I stopped at Avance auto today and was going to get a gal. to try it out and then I saw that they had some 2 1/2 gal. jugs so I got one of them and got to the couter and the man said we have those in the 5 gal. I say yea I take 5 gal then he says he has 2 more 5 gal. that someone ordered and never came and got so he give me a deal on all of it 5gal@ $13 So now I'm sure hopin this stuff works!!!!!!
  22. Canceled Jobs!!!

    I work with other companys all the timeon timed things. They will give you date 2-3 months ahead and sometimes the evening before we find out that it is not a go but got moved till next week. And if your running a tight schedule next week it sure puts the pressure on!! Ever now and then they take something from next week and pull it back to this week!! That is rough But its like this I do all I possibly can because if you say you can't do it Guess what you may have lost that job for life. Most of my work is repeat biz so that is not good at all!! Have a better week!!!! You are not the only one!!!!
  23. Can someone answer these questions?

    Very funny!!!!!!!!!!:):):)
  24. The Blue Book
