How To Wash : The Complete Guide to Pressure Washing and Softwashing 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇 bit.ly/HowToWash101

i love this guy. no bullshit no timewasting no secrets straight to the point with everything you need to know

Best channel to learn all things pressure and soft washing. Zero experience when I first started in 2018 and because of videos and guys like this I love been able to learn an extraordinary amount of surface cleaning and now stay booked out 1-2 months busy as all get up!!

Thank you for providing a clear, concise, easy-to-understand explanation focusing on the essential points. It was easy to understand, and I greatly appreciated it.

💥You mentioned downstreaming but never showed the equipment setup and how to do it.

Thank you for this video! Pure information no fluff, much appreciated!

Thanks man I just got a new pressure washer to start a business and all you’re videos helped me to get to this point

Thank you! Simple and to the point.

Awesome video, quick and informational. Thank you!

Thanks Mike!! I’ve been so confused which one I needed and they’re all basically the same thing running on a Venturi system. I’ve actually got chemical injection system on my machine. Really appreciate your help and knowledge. Carl. North wales 🇬🇧

This might just be the best "how to" video on RU-vid. Great work!

Starting with a pump but first thing I will do is upgrade to a down stream!! You made me obsessed with getting the right one for me!!

I love your guys' video. I can't wait to purchase your guide.

This was so helpful answered every question I had

I have a Greenworks 2300. Soap doesn’t come out of the wand but soap is going thru the tubing. Now I’m going to check the injector. Thanks for the info.👍🏻

Thanks for the video! This video was very helpful to me to get my valve cleaned out and the soap flowing again.

This guy is phenomenal

Thanks for the great info. If I have a downstream injector connected at the washer right after a ball valve, then will my surface cleaner and wand get enough water flow? I ask because if the injector constricts the amount of water that can pass through it, then would it also result in less pressure at the gun? Thanks again!

What's going on? I'm new to the whole power washing business starting my own company called before and after pro wash. Been investing a lot of money into equipment, LLC's insurance, business cards, door hangers, advertisement. I do work full-time but I'm trying to turn this into something full-time as we all want in life lol. Just wanted to say I appreciate all the knowledge that you and forever self-employed give me for free and I watch you guys on a daily basis keep doing what you guys are doing. You guys are awesome and go make that money baby

This is a full blown explanation👍

What the heck! Thanks man, this video literally gave me everything I needed.

Best information ever!! Thanks Mike!!!

Very good info! Thanks.

Thank you for the video! I am only able to get soap with the injector when using the black soap tip not my j-rod. I've just purchased a new pw machine it came with the injector kit the arrow is pointing towards the wand away from the pump. I've put it on the machine like in your video and on the hose closest to the wand. What am I doing wrong? Oh and I have a 2.5 GPM and 4 GPM machine with about 100 feet of pw hose and injector hose about 5 feet same issue on both machines. Thx for any recommendations

Great video str8 and to the point!! Thank u

Great info! But this means you can only use a batch system where the percentage of chemicals is predetermined, am I right? Or is it possible to adapt a blender manifold to get a different mix?

Good video. I have a question for you and hopefully you can help me out with my pressure washer issue. It won't turn on but when I put a little bit of Carb/Choke cleaner, it works but only for a few seconds (Husqvarna 3100). Thanks a lot in advance sir!

Hey mike question if I have a built in chemical injector on my 4gpm can I still use a downstream injector or would i have to cap the existing one?

Hello, what if the pressure washer already comes with it’s own down stream injector? but paper work says to not use it for bleach only soap. Could I still run bleach through it or add a second down stream injector?

Hey Mike, once and a while our injector allows backflow of water into the chem tank when we are rinsing. Is it just a faulty injector or am I doing something else wrong?

How do you calculate the amount of chemical you use for example % of chemical vs gallons per a min (litres per min) vs mixture rate of your pressure washer?

You are the GOAT in this game. Thay is all. Lol

If you do not have a SH tank, for house washes or driveways will a 5 gal bucket work? Or how long would a 5-10 gal tank of SH get you?

Need help, added more hose and now i cant downstream. .. only with 50ft. Any more hose I can't pull suction suction. I've tried 2.3mm, 2.1mm & 1.8mm general pump injectors. Pump is canpump 4.7gpm, using jrod for 4gpm. Any help greatly appreciated

I was wondering if you have a proper mix chart for like let's say for beginners that are using pool bleach (10% SH) unscented laundry soap, and a 5-gallon bucket when I use a soap injector

Quick question Micheal, if I am doing a driveway, can I go with the black tip for the entire process??

With a 4gpm and comit pump can I run a 6 foot hose from my Chem tank to the downstream injector and it pull

your the man bro

My downstream inyector only work if I do use 50 ft hose. When I switch to 150 ft hose it stop working . What should I do to make it work with my long hose . Thanks 🙏

I know this is an old video but does the chemical injector have a set ratio or is it adjustable

Just bought a 10 gpm beast. Was using a 5.5 gpm. Is it true the 10gpm chemical injector won't pull soap as strong as the 5.5?

Does it matter what thickness the hose is? You said 150 ft in length but can it be 150 ft of 1/4 inch?

Great, info!! This is the only channel my playback speed is .75 😄

Great vid! Bad ass shirt !

I have always been told the draw is 10:1. Do downstream injectors vary?

Do you know were I can get the valve with the spring and ball bearing? Mine broke and can't find it

Which injector did you use ? Thank you very much

Can you run it on the end of the wand with a wide tip would that lower the pressure and work?

Good to know I will let my pressure washer know

Thank you

Hey guys!! I have a 3200PSI 2.5GPM pressure washer which has its own soap tank. I want to install a chemical injector to be able to use bleach without damaging the water pump. Can I install a chemical injector on this machine? What do you think is my best option? Thank you!

my machine has a down stream thing built into the pump. i don’t want to run bleach into it. I purchased a sown stream injector but it doesn’t work well

how do you control the strength of the chemical when you down stream?

Pedro has been consistently putting out fantastic information for years now. 👏

You're the man

Do we have to worry about dilution when using one of these?

Can you get hotter mixes downstreaming then using an xjet?

How does the high pressure not draw chemical from the downstream injector but lower pressure does?

Hey Mike! Quick question…I am starting a pressure washing business and have been learning a ton from your videos. I def will get your instructional once I get everything together. Question: You mention rinsing with the ball valve (02:16). What exactly is that? I know what a ball valve is, but what are you relating to? Thank in advance!

This video was extremely helpful and put me back on production. Thank you

Hello from San Francisco CA I use this connector Instead having sop out, my sop tank got full of water

Awesome video mate, up unfortunately can't fnd any one in NZ that can set this up for me

I wonder how much percentage is coming out of the tip when downstreaming straight from the SH jug

Great video! 2 cents to add because it drove me NUTS! Make sure your hose is 3/8! You cannot get a vacuum with 1/4 inch hose. Rebuilt the check valve 4 times before I realized that problem was the 1/4 inch hose.

Hello hope you're still replying. Is there any way aside from leaving my water running (without just leaving the ballvalve open) to keep the pump from overheating? I heard thats a big probelm with pressure washers.

Downstreaming is the original soft wash dog... Love downstreaming!

So how do i get the soap to go further?

Ok but how do you get the correct ratio of chemical? Trying to get into pressure washing on the side but can't figure out how to control the ratio of the downstream injectors. Using an x-jet right now want to upgrade in the future.

New guy here thanks for the info

I need to know if I can use one on my electric pressure washer. It's built way different from your regular one

What nozzle tip is that in the video?

Xjet is better than downstream right?

Great Video! Thank you, God Wins!!!

What’s that tip called?

Hey Mike, what percentage SH or solution do you get from the downstream injector?

My problem is I don’t know anything about plumbing. I need to learn how to make spare injectors set up with couplers so that I can quickly replace them in the middle of a job.

nice

I'm trying to use high pressure with soap for washing dirt bikes. How would I get high pressure soap dispensing? Other than a foam cannon.

People say you cant use one of these with a 2.5gpm machine?? I dont wanna run chemicals threw my pump. Thanks

Do you prefer gas or electric pumps when softwashing homes

Wont sh get into pump when overloader valve kicks in?

Why does my chemical bucket that the downstream injector is in eventually fill up with water?

Can I build a soft rush rig to work from the back of my 4 door sedan? I don't have a truck but I won't to get started. But all these videos from dudes that are setting up ACTUAL rigs. I need the starter version of this even if it's just me with a pump sprayer

My pressure washer started backfilling the soap bottle with water. It fills up the soap bottle and then the cap blows off because of the water pressure. What happened? This small electric unit I bought on Amazon has been working well for 3 or 4 years. Now very little water comes out of gun, and most water is overflowing the soap bottle. I don't get it.

What if 150 feet isn’t enough to reach to back of house?

So I shouldn’t use an xjet ?

3:35 When you say “Trash”, I think; Drink cups & bottles, McDonald’s bags, cigarette butts, and the likes.

What if your machine has a down stream injector already?

👍

But how can you control your sh percentage?

Have now used this to clean house siding and it performed well ru-vid.comUgkx43QMbQqu67IZadu9ou8Sg1BdrunMRNqX I also bought some wand extensions which enabled higher washing without needing a ladder. I recommend both. This unit arrived quickly, was easy to assemble (only had to attach the handle), and arrived in perfect condition. The only very slight downgrade from a perfect score is the design has a low handle and requires pulling from the side. My old washer was an upright model, while this one is more horizontal. Other than that, it's perfect for my needs. It has a great deal of pressure and more easily cleaned the house siding, porch rails and concrete than did my older model. The engine is a bit louder, as well, but the total time to clean was reduced by the more powerful spray. Did I mention it starts on the first or second pull every time?!! I am definitely happy with this model.

I guess I keep buying the wrong downstream injectors.... they always seem to over dilute making my chemical not wash well.

Rolling Suds uses hoses that are 500ft and seems not to have that issue,

Bro I hope you got paid well from this video

Negative on the chrmical

I mean soap

save your money and buy a stainless steel one i used to replace these every month

1776 👌

I think the video was very informative but you were talking to damn fast is all. Lol. Anyway thanks for the video.
