Nozzle Tip ?

[tumul21 14]

Hello I am new to the forums and have been searching around. I am currently trying to start up a residential pressure washing business. I purchased 2 Dewalt 3000 psi 2.8gpg cat pump pressure washers. From what I understand, I need between a 3.0-3.5 nozzle size, but if I were wanting to hit two story houses from the ground would I need to purchase a 2.0 perhaps? Or would the X-jet or laddersaver be better? Because from what I've read its all a matter of opinions on the 0030 or 0040, x-jet, and ladder saver, but would i need a 0020? or 0025 because of my gpm in order to hit those 2 story homes?

Also if I upgraded to a 50ft or 100ft hose would I lose pressure, but would it be made up with the size 2 or 2.5 tips?

Thanks,

Gregory

After doing a little more research, I used a calculator that said I needed to use a 3.0 orfice met tip. So I should get meg tips that are like 0030, 15035, 40035 and so on in order to reach 2 story homes with ease and soap them?
