Driveways, patios, concrete, tarmac etc! Walls! Thanks for your videos with advice! I will draw from your knowledge! I’ve always had a pressure washer! But now mines very similar to yours! 13HP 21LPM and I’m excited to see what the future has in store! I’ve named it “Deluxe Jet Washing NI” as I’m in Northern Ireland! 👍

Great! The hose from the customers tap just goes straight into the bin, and the pressure washer came with it’s hose already attached, so that just goes into the bin as well. Then the only connection you need to make is to connect your pressure hose with tool to the machine.😃👍🏼

@premiergutterandroofcleani6668 3 года назад

HI Ashley, obviously your washer is a serious piece of kit. I looking to buy one similar. I am trying to get my head around how not to run out of water. Taking the average pressure of domestic taps is around 9 LPM and your using 21 LPM do you have to keep stopping whilst the bin fills as the water going in is way way less than you are pulling.... Thanks

@aemackintosh 3 года назад

Yes, occasionally you may have to stop while it fills, but that’s why you use the buffer tank like this. By the time you have done a bit of sweeping it soon fills up again. I find lots of taps often keep up with what I’m using actually.😃👍🏼

@jonnier7921 4 года назад

Hi ash, would you mind telling me what size turbo nozzle you used? Great video by the way. Cheers

@aemackintosh 4 года назад

I’m not sure what size it is to be honest. It’s a pretty standard turbo nozzle. Possibly a 1.25mm, rings a bell.😃👍🏼

@lankytucker92 3 года назад

Thanks for the video!! This, with the bin for water pressure is the set up I’m thinking about! My biggest concern is, what if the customer doesn’t have a tap to use? I understand we can get our own tanks but that would be huge costs for filling and the added pipes from the van!

@aemackintosh 3 года назад

Just check that the customer has a tap you can use when you quote (everybody does). I also have every possible tap adapter with me in the van, including ones to fit a hose to an indoor tap, just in case.😃👍🏼

@matthewcalder4351 4 года назад

Great video Ash, just thinking as the wheelie bin doesn't fit in your van you can get all sorts of sized ridged plastic tanks that will hold more water and fit in your van. As you totched on waiting for some customers taps is a real ball ache! Maybe get another bin that way you could stack them taking up no extra room and when one bin runs dry pop your suction hose into the other bin ! Just a thought, keep up the good work. M

Hi, thanks for the great videos. This is probably a stupid question but is there a pump between the wheelie bin and the pressure washer or does the pressure washer pull the water in on its own.

Hi. You state that you started out with a jet washer that wasn't as powerful. What was the litres per minute of your first washer if you dont mind me asking? I want to start out but i note that anything over 15lpm is quite an expense. Can you use say a 16inch surface cleaner with a 10lpm washer? Thanks Chris

@aemackintosh Год назад

Maybe, just, but I don’t think it will be worth it. I started with a 15 litres per minute machine, and it wasn’t long before I realised that I needed more power. In the long run it’s worth getting a proper machine.😉👍🏼

Great video! I'm a gardener venturing into driveway and patio cleaning. I'm going for the same set-up as you have here only van based with a 40m hose so thanks for the video. I do have a question tho which I can't seem to find an answer for online so thought you might know... Do I need a certificate etc to use sodium hypochlorite? Any info would be much appreciated. Cheers J

@aemackintosh 4 года назад

No, seems surprising really but it’s readily available, and it’s commonly used in smaller quantities for treating swimming pool water. I would advise that you take great care with it though. All the best with your business plans. Thanks for your comments.😃👍🏼

@aemackintosh 4 года назад

The pump draws the water out of the bin through its own hose. It also has a return hose going back into the bin, so it can suck up what it needs but when you take your hand off the trigger it dumps water back out that it’s not using. I put a link in the description to a video that shows more about how I set up the kit.😃👍🏼

Hi ash I’ve just got my new set up from Spinaclean and very happy indeed. but I’m just trying to find out if you use neat hypo through the chemical pick up tube and do you find it effective as nobody really knows what ratio it actually mixes it at and do find it strong enough? or just use a sprayer so you know the exact strength your using, was think In a ratio of 5-1 and maybe a little stronger on difficult substrates. Cheers ash and all the best. 👍

Yeah, I found the chemical inlet can get clogged up quite easily. So I use a large watering can for hypo, and a pump sprayer for other chemicals like biocide, but you could also use a backpack sprayer for hypo if you wanted.😃👍🏼

It’s not so much about psi that gives you cleaning power, but perhaps the litres per minute is even more important. Most guys will be using 21 litres per minute machines. 15 is pretty decent though. But 21 you will find quicker and more effective on those tough jobs.👍🏼

I use a 15meter length pressure hose. I tried a 30m for a while, but it just used to get twisted up and it was more trouble than it was worth. Other than the flat surface cleaner I just have a turbo nozzle lance and a twin nozzle fan lance for rinsing, it has two wide fan jets one soft and one harder with a handle on the side that adjusts between the two. It’s great for the rinse at the end.😃👍🏼

Hi Ashley. I wonder if you can help or advise me?

I was using the surface cleaner at the time. I quickly stopped the clean and investigated. All seemed fine. I'm no expert and still new to pressure washing The machine was working hard throughout the day with some tough weeds for at least 6 hours. The machine was fine on low pressure rinsing down so could it? 1 too much constant use? 2 the surface cleaner faulty? 3 water not getting through the pump properly? 4 filter needs cleaning/changing? 5 none of the above?
