One Tough Pressure

Way late but here are the pics of the fram item. Works better than nothing, but is real slow and you can see why.

The light with the yellow frame is a store version and was put on to replace the ripped off one. Note that they use wing nuts on each side. The other one is the way Alkota did it. They put a small piece of angle iron on the fram and then used a 3/8" stud for the stand, welded to a 1/4' piece of pipe that has a single bolt running thru it and a nylon nut on the other end. Still adjustable, but very secure. They are wired to only come on one side at a time, for a max of 1000 watts. It is set up to run on a standard 2000 watt generator found on many AC skids.

My lights are made by Regent. Nothing special, but they work well and are very tough. I suck at getting pictures, but will try. As far as light on the receiver, I see no need for them. I use the reverse light on the truck to center on the trailer and that does just fine for me.

I have 2-500 watt halogens on eah side and they have never fallen off or came loose, except for when i wrapped the hose around them while pulling forward one day and ripped it right off. I will check the brand, but they are nothing special. It is more in the mounting. Alkota did the light rack, and it works very well. I can swivel them a little, but the way they were wired, does not give to much extra cord. They tilt up and down well and have come in handy on doing walls with graffiti.

The brush is not as thick as the bonnet pad driver and is only around the outside of the surface cleaner. The spray bar is basically the same as all others and is installed on a dual shell surface cleaner. The bar spins inside of the inner shell, and then you have a 1/4" or so gap where the suction comes into play, surrounded by the brush on the outer shell. So the bar spins and everything gets pushed out. The brush keeps it in so that the vacuum can suck it up. I can find my pics, I will try to get some tonight when I am out.

I have been looking for a little person to scrub my reclaim tank. All the kids small enough to fit in do not listen very well.

My recovery surface cleaners have a very stiff bristle brush custom made by Fuller brush Company. They keep the water in and allow air to enter for the vacuum. If you had rubber, it would suck to the floor and not move very easy, if at all. If I crank the vacuum to high, it will suck mine to the floor and they will not move.

I do not charge anything upfront as my kind of work, I have everything on hand. If I did wood and needed to order stain, then I could understand getting something ahead of time, but gas and soap are regular items that get used on all jobs.

I use sodium hydroxide cleaners around asphal;t all the time and do not have any streaking problems, as I either recover the water or make sure that it is highly diluted before it runs across the asphalt.

The sealers that I have seen did not impress me. They do not last very long, & cost to much for the time that they do last, also the dry/cure time for foot/vehicle traffic in commercial areas is a major concern.

Has anyone ever dealt with or even heard of United Chemicals in North Lauderdale FL? I have gotten many calls from their sales reps and keep saying no, but they keep calling. They claim to have no catalogs or websites, just products. I gathered the following from an online yellow pages, but that is all I could find. 6043 Kimberly Blvd Ste R North Lauderdale, FL 33068-2826

The Smart Geyser from Simer does not have a standard mechanical float, it is an electonic one that detects water and comes on when needed. Their is no worry of run dry, as it doesn't run without water. It picks up down to 3/16" of an inch. Follow the link in my first post and read the product sheet for more info.

If it is just for areas where water puddles, then why not use a sump pump with auto on and the ground sucking feature, such as a Simer. I use the Geyser on many jobs and it kicks butt. Next one I get will be the smart geyser, so that I do not have to worry about it running dry. http://www.simerpump.com/pdf/pg_2_2004.pdf

Yes, the tanks that you see on trailers over here are usually "float tanks" Everyone has their own preference as to how much water they keep in the tank, but I like them to be full at all times, as i have many stops that do not have water and it makes it easier to haul rather than go looking around onsite. I have two 230 gallon tanks that are both plumbed to the pump.

They are made by Giant for cold water machines. Notice how the gum stays in one piece when they dumped it out. How are you supposed to pick up melted gum? I also heard that the demand was real low and they stopped making them.

Hi Marc, Welcome to the bbs, please follow this link to the signature rules. http://www.thegrimescene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4143 Your machine will do you fine in commercial cleaning, and sodium hydroxide chems, such as the HD-80 you mentioned will also do a fine job. Another good chemcial to use is a sodium metasilicate based one. If you do not already have one, a surface cleaner will make things go much faster, as well as being able to transport water. As far as recovery, you have heard right. There are many threads here on the bbs that relate directly at that. Do searches for water recovery, water reclaim, & recycled water. you will find plenty of reading to keep you busy quite a while. I clean all of these types, but do not offer sealing.

Copycat

The things that people do never ceases to amaze me. From running gas powered items in an enclosed area, to using lethal amounts of chemicals in confined spaces seems to be an ongoing problem that has gained more attention these days. I also agree that you need to call that company and say a few things. It is not just about them, but all that may be exposed to their unsafe ways.

I have pressure washed many toilets. It is mainly for the outside, but the inside benefits too. The main problem inside is hard water and rust. Acid Bowl cleaner works best.

Men at Work was a movie, but since you never heard of it you skipped over my post and did not even bother to stay on track with "Men in Black which was the control. What a way to hijack a thread. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100135/

Problem here is that they know where you live, so if you were to mess up their stuff with whatever you choose to put in the cans, then it will never end. They do deserve a real good whooping, but do not do anything that will make it worse than just losing gas.
