Downstream Injectors
JDhomeservices replied to Tom DeFrancesco's topic in Tools, Equipment & Basic Maintenance
When I am done soaping an area, I remove the siphon hose from the chem bucket, and drop it in my water tank. When it's not drawing chems, it's drawing water. I started doing this 6-8 months ago when I bought a new GP fixed injector, and that same one is still going strong. -
Where to purchase simple cherry?
JDhomeservices replied to Rob R.'s question in Residential Pressure Washing
It smells like cherries until you mix it with SH anyway. Lol. Am I the only one who has not had good results with covering up the bleach smell when making a house wash with simple cherry? Don't get me wrong, it's probably one of the best house wash soaps out there. But it doesn't cover up the smell. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2 -
iPad Internet service....any good deals out there?
JDhomeservices replied to alvisishere's question in The Club House
Depends on what plan you're on. I have unlimited data, and they do not include wifi with that. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2 -

JDhomeservices replied to alvisishere's question in The Club House
I use an app called pdanet+ (formerly foxfi) it costs like $8 one time fee, and lets you share your cell phone's internet connection through a wifi signal without paying a monthly fee. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2 -
Your favorite Industry bulletin boards and why?
JDhomeservices replied to John T's question in The Club House
Of course TGS is awesome, but I have gotten more useful information on *** than all the other boards combined. And the guys over there are great too. As long as you don't bring up the PWNA lol. Seems to be a pretty sensitive subject. I don't know the whole story, and I don't care to... If I did wood restoration though, TGS would be much more relevant to me. -
The most influential person to you in this industry & why?
JDhomeservices replied to John T's question in The Club House
Ron **********. I don't think there is anyone who contributes more to this industry. I have learned a ton from his vlogs and BBS posts, and he is always available to call or text if you have any questions. This guy has made millions pressure washing, and has nothing to gain by helping others succeed, but he does it anyway. Doug ********** is a close second for me too though. -
What do you use for oxidation?
JDhomeservices replied to dfloyd0105's question in Residential Pressure Washing
Gutter Grenade from Pressure Tek does a good job with oxidation. Mix it in with your Simple Cherry mix. Limoline from envirospec does a great job on oxidation too, especially for the price. -

Another rookie question
JDhomeservices replied to NewGuy's topic in Tools, Equipment & Basic Maintenance
$250 is not a bad deal, but you're first priority should be upgrading you pressure washer. It's not that expensive. There is no need to save up for a big 8gpm rig when you're first starting out. You can get a 3500 psi 4gpm direct drive machine with a Honda GX390 engine for $400-$500 on craigslist. Or for another $300 or so, you could get one with a belt drive that will last twice as long between pump repairs. -

Really? I'm on the process of trying to get an equipment lease approved, but the way I'm doing it seems different. It's basically a loan. I pay first and last pay up front, decide how long I want to stretch out the payments, and at the end of the lease, I buy out the equipment for 10% of the total amount leased. Doesn't include repairs or anything, but it sounds like a program to me... Now you got me worried. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

Never use the same measuring cup to measure Gutter Grenade as you you to measure Roof Snot. Never thought I could spend so long rinsing a gutter! Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

The issue was that it took forever to rinse off. There was just a little bit of roof snot residue on the bottom of the measuring cup. I didn't think it would matter, but it did. Yeah, I'm in Ocala. I drive through the forest if I'm on my way to Daytona Beach, but that's pretty much it.

Competition iin Lake County, FL

Right now I'm mostly do residential work but I am hoping to get into doing some commercial work soon. Right now I have a 4gpm 4000 psi belt driven machine. I want to go with a hot water setup, but I'm wondering if spending 5k-8k is worth the extra 1.5 gpm? I could just get a water heater for the unit I've got. I don't know what they go for new, but I found one on craigslist for $100. Would buying a new skid really be worth it? I have never had the privilege of trying one of these units, so your input would be greatly appreciated.
