[Power Wash PA 14]

downstreamed using a 3500psi 4.9 hot water and my mix was 2G 12% (from pool supply store, was in a pinch) 3G water & about 5oz dawn ... i ordered simple cherry from PT but hadn't arrived ... wanted to test things out as it's a new unit (& a friends house) ... questions are

1) should anything else be added to my mix (vinyl siding)?

2) dwell time?

3) how can i get more distance (chimney on 2 story)?

was about 45-50 out & a bit windy, condition of exterior was average mold

thanks,

Mike

1) No, 2) Just a few minutes, 3) Get a Ladder Saver tip, or use an x Jet for high areas.

I wouldn't use hot water on the exterior of a house either. Not really needed for what you are removing.

Hot water this time of year is necessary.

hot water is necessary for washing houses? and why do you say that?

[agrimefighter 14]

not needed anytime of the year... for house washing.

We only use cold water on House Wash. Brush when needed.

You do not need hot water for residential work. Why do you guys want to mislead him. Hot water is more for grease, oil, gum. Use the proper chemicals and save the lawn.

If you have the ability to heat the water when it's in the 50ties or below it makes a large difference.
