Well, since you can not stand the x-jet I will give you a dollar for it and pay actual shipping , so as to take it off your hands. Do we have a deal?

[R. Williamson 14]

I have not emailed anyone through this board. That would not be proper and I changed that phone number three months ago.

[Beth n Rod 1,279]

Thank you R Williamson. That's good enough for me.

I'll give you $2.00 for it and pay the shipping. In fact I'll come and pick it up!:cool:

[Mike Williamson 198]

I'll give you $3.00...

BTW, the XJ doesn't clean...the chems clean...the XJ is simply a way to apply (and for some, to rinse) the chemicals. Personally, I don't rinse with the XJ most of the time...I use a zero degree 20 or 30 tip. It has at least as much range as the XJ, and gives a more concentrated pattern.

I love the XJ, I just hate dragging buckets around. I've seen where some folks place their buckets strategically around the house so they don't drag buckets, but that doesn't work for me, as I have my hose clamped to my bucket...keeps the hose from pulling out, and keeps the strainer sitting on the bottom of the bucket. That, and a lot of my work is condos, so you're not just washing a 2000 sf rectangular home where you can place buckets at the corners of the house. It's also a pain dragging the bucket the wand, and the hose through some of the wooded areas behind some of these buildings.

Enough griping, I still love the XJ. However, I'm debating going to a shur-flo pump on a hand truck, or at the very least, mixing my chems in a 15 gallon container on a handtruck and using the XJ with that.

$5.00 and I'll come pick it up!:cool:

WOW this thread keeps going and going and going and going. Tell me what you use to clean a house? cuz the x-junk doesn't clean like I want it too. It Will not clean the BIG SIDE OF THE HOUSE, you know what i'm saying???????? ( the side that seems to go up and up and up ) That extension pole is a BIG PAIN IN THE #$^$ Thank you for all the comments

[C & T Pressure Washing 14]

Best offer keep going do i hear $6.00??

[Paul B. 523]

With the real X-Jet, cleaning the TALL side of any house should be no problem. But you have to have the original, REAL X-Jet.

[Paul B. 523]

Now this is the way to go!

[WEW 14]

$10.00, I'll pick it up. That's my final offer!:mad:

[Mike Williamson 198]

I use the XJet to apply chems to a house, along with a zero degree .20 tip to rinse.

I think I already said this once, but keep in mind that the XJ is only a delivery system for chems, and for some, and rinsing system. The chems do the cleaning. Maybe you need to try some new chems?

[C & T Pressure Washing 14]

so give me some idea's on some chems:2eyes:

[One Tough Pressure 580]

What have you been using and what was the ratio before the X-Jet?

[Paul B. 523]

There are many good products out there that will take care of your house siding cleaning needs. Here are a few that I know work well:

- AllBrite (www.SunBriteSupply.com)

- Ripper I (www.Hotsy.com)

- Limonene (www.EnviroSpec.com)

- R-109 or DNB-1430 (www.DCS1.com)

- RPC-226 CitraCleen (www.RowlettPressure.com)

You'll have to find what works well for you including overall cost after shipping.

[Mike Cappa 14]

[C & T Pressure Washing 14]

8.5 gpm, 15 degree (not 65) 40 size tip, down streem, 50 gallons chlorine mixed with 5 gallons r109 1 cup dish soap, mix all your chemicals and leave them on the trailer. Use no more than 150ft of high pressure hose. At 8.5 gpm your chemicals are there in half the time and gone in half the time( about 7 sec.) drill out a o degree for anything over 2 stories. use a 20 size 15 degree for rinsing, the 20 is just large enough to stop the chemical pull at 8.5 gpm. you will wash a house in half the time with half the hassel....if all you have is a 5.5 gpm buy a 3 or 4 gpm and run the two together into one large vol unloader like the 2140.

[Tim Smith 14]

One of the best things that I ever purchase for this business - XJet.

[kyle 14]

Yes buy one.

[Mathew Johnson 123]

the most cost effective piece of equipment on the trailer.

[Edward 14]

I am new to this sight and it looks like a good place for people who do pressure washing to share information. I am glad to see the depth of experience in the trade represented here.

Could someone please post the proportioner ratio chart for the X-Jet. I have misplaced mine.
