Street Appeal

Not sure who's making it, but the shops are happy to take it. I want to buy 10 - 12 quick connect bits but @ $12 ea thats $120. Same from the States = $20 + postage. It seems that everything I look at is just soooo much cheaper. I pay approx $19 ea nozzle (MEG for the whirl a way). I just bought some ceramic insert ones that set me back $29 ea. I have seen the regular ones there for $4 ea. If you want to buy 4 or 5 nozzles, you can see the savings.

Hi Russ, Thanks for the offer. Do you have a shop or website etc..... I didn't see any information in your signature. How / where would I see the parts you have for sale?

Hey Mick, Thanks for the reply, Things are just WAY WAY cheaper in the States, thats why I am looking for somewhere there. In most cases it is well under half price including delivery. I bought some quick connect parts from my local & paid $12 for 1 part. I have seen the same over there for $1.99. I bought a 20" Whirl a Way on ebay.com for AU$467 delivered. Same one here on ebay.com.au $1050 + delivery. Love to keep the business here but sometimes you have to look at price..... How's the economy treating you over there in the west?

Hi Everyone, I know this seems like a strange question to ask as there are so many posts relating to different types of accessories. I e-mailed Bob from Pressure Tek but he doesn't send international. It's easy to find pressure washing supplies on the net, but I don't really know if they are reputable and actually exist. Can anyone recommend a reputable supplier of accessories that I view their website and can e-mail to see if they will send O/S? I want to try the x-jet and also get hold of a couple of nozzles for d/streaming that we don't have here. Thanks for all of your help! N.B - below are pictures of a hose barb nozzle that I made from stainless fittings. They are 2 slightly different size nozzles. I found out about this method from reading the forums..... all up AU$20. I must get at least 10 - 12 metres high (30 - 40 ft) and get heaps of chemical draw..... Absolutely awsome!

I don't even know what to say. I can only imagine the terror for the people living there. Here's hoping that there were no human casualties. Makes you appreciate the little things in life.

Well I can't exactly say that I know how you feel. We don't have that problem here. Worst we get is some strong winds that bring down some tree branches... Just started raining again... There goes work for tomorrow...

Thanks all for your welcomes. Things are OK. The economy has hit us hard and people have pulled their heads in quite a bit. Not spending as much as they used to. Weather wise - rain, rain, rain....... middle of winter here which also puts a grind on things as only a few days to work here and there. Hope things are better for you over there!

Hi All, I thought that I would introduce myself seeing as though you all have helped me with inspiration and motivation. I decided to join the forum after lurking in the background for the past couple of weeks. :lurker: I have a property maintenance business here in Australia and have decided to head more towards pressure cleaning (there's nothing like seeing that dirt disappear when you hit it with the pw.) Currently I have a 15 litre per minute (approx 4 gal) 4000 psi cold water unit. Before I started reading this forum, I didn't even know about the x-jet or ladder saver. The best my local pw shop could do is recommend an extension pole to reach the tops of houses. I now know better!!! Thanks again to everyone for the information and insights, and I look forward to being able to give some input into some of the other posts. Should these responses come at weird times, I will just blame it on the time difference. Regards, Ronny...............
