Hi all I'm new to this and trying to learn as much as possible from reading other people's posts and learning from your experiences.
I guess i should state that my main focus is going to be residental house and driveway cleaning with possible expansion into comercial if it comes my way
This is a parttime operation for me as well
I'm using a 2500psi 2.5 gpm machine. I realize that i need to upgrade this unit as soon as possible.
My first question is the recomendations that I am getting is a min of 3500 psi and 3.5 gpm
Also i realize that i need a ext so i can wash dormers and 2nd stories with out needing a ladder(or as little ladder use as possible) would 6-24 feet be enough or should i look into a longer one?
most sites seem to recomend a dual turbo nozzle as well. is this needed and what type or area's would you NOT want to use this on. and would this possibly be a good thing to use for driveways?
As far as surface cleaners go would a water broom (i think that is the right name) bar with 3-4 nozzles be okay to start out with for cleaning driveways and sidewalks or should i go ahead and invest the extra money in to a true surface cleaner.
my dilema is that i'm trying to be able to do the job properly and would like to be able to not have to run out and replace everything as soon as i get a bigger machine.
I did a friends house lastweekend smaller 3 bed 2 bath and driveway and sidewalk to about 5-6 hours
