Jeff 232 Report post Posted March 1, 2006 Ken, I like the one I have & showed you, The 30" Big Guy, Watercannon has the best price $719-$749 If you have room on the trailer. I've had mine 2 years and not one problem with it. Order it with tips for 8gpm & an extra set for 4GPM when your using both wands. Also do you have a roto nozzle there a great help.I'll show you one when you come Saturday JL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SLHC 14 Report post Posted March 1, 2006 I have a whisper wash from W-Cannon.I have had all kinds of problems with it in 2 years,it doesn't work as we speak,need to fix it again. I will buy a different one this year. Also how can 20 hp machine put out 8 gpm at 4500 psi,it should be more like 5 gpm @4500 psi?Just wondering Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jarrod 22 Report post Posted March 1, 2006 The specs sounded off to me too. Did you 24 hp @ 3500 psi? Heck, go with a 36" whisper wash Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Washaway 64 Report post Posted March 1, 2006 Ken it depends on what type of work you will be doing. If most of your work is residential, and you inted on using your hover on the roof then by all means your first purchase should be a 19" hover. I am very faithful to Whisper Wash's Classic model. It has served me very well for the last three years and I plan to purchase a new one very soon. If you are into commercial work then a larger hover would be adviseable. However I would have to advise againts a three wheeled model of any kind. I own a Hydrotek Hydrotwister, Contractor model, and I would never get rid of it. True, it requires a bit more tender love and care than others but it's four swivel-caster setup is the best I've seen. It will change direction on the spot where a three wheeled setup, with fixed tires, will take a lot more manuevering. http://www.hydroteksystems.com/images/hydro-broom-close-500BQ.jpg Good luck to you.

ken wiggins 14 Report post Posted March 1, 2006 Sorry Guys, Yes, 24hp. My bad. I ran Jeff's WaterCannon at a bank. Seemed like a breeze. Just wanted to know of other models. I'll most likely order one this week. Thanks to all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
One Tough Pressure 580 Report post Posted March 2, 2006 24/8 with 12v gets you 3500, 24/8 with 120 v gets you 3000. I am a fan of the Steel Eagle Surface Cleaners. They have a 24" and a 30" that are both rated for your machine. They also have the adjustable feature if that interests you. these units are built solid. I have also heard from many that the Bad Boy from Pressure Tek is a great piece of equipment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
