Mon Dec 8 20:31:16 2003:Firedkm [0/] Msg:The chems are right there with you not at you trailer. the chems are injected right from you wand instead of traveling all through your hose.

Mon Dec 8 20:31:44 2003:Firedkm [0/] Msg:You get more chems on the house faster and alot less waste.

Mon Dec 8 20:32:02 2003:EXTREME [0/] Msg:I disagree, and here's why...

Mon Dec 8 20:32:15 2003:Firedkm [0/] Msg:Since I started using the x-jet I cut my wash time in half

Mon Dec 8 20:32:22 2003:EXTREME [0/] Msg:you have to carry around buckets, could tip them over, much waste

Mon Dec 8 20:32:26 2003:dontwashmanyhouses [0/] Msg:I agree, it's faster, higher chem concentration, able to reach 2 stories without a ladder

Mon Dec 8 20:32:35 2003:EXTREME [0/] Msg:since I stopped using the xjet, I became even faster

Mon Dec 8 20:32:56 2003:Cmobilepower [0/] Msg:How?

Mon Dec 8 20:33:09 2003:EXTREME [0/] Msg:use a good downstreamer, a #40, 0 degree tip and your golden

Mon Dec 8 20:33:50 2003:EXTREME [0/] Msg:when you want to rinse, use a #30, 0 degree tip and you won't pull chems

Mon Dec 8 20:34:56 2003:EXTREME [0/] Msg:I understand fire, but wouldn't it be easier to not use a cart at all?

Mon Dec 8 20:35:11 2003:EXTREME [0/] Msg:sometimes I just use a ball valve to apply chems

Mon Dec 8 20:35:25 2003:Jon [0/] Msg:Hiya Alan

Mon Dec 8 20:35:28 2003:Firedkm [0/] Msg:for some maybe

Mon Dec 8 20:35:38 2003:EXTREME [0/] Msg:if you like the xjet, stay with it, I am just pointing out another option. I have used both and have my favorite

Mon Dec 8 20:39:05 2003:PETELESCAILLE [0/] Msg:how do you hit the high spots

Mon Dec 8 20:39:06 2003:bethrod [0/] Msg:I only use a ladder when I need to get to a difficult place to reach on the odd section. (p.s. Rod here)
