Did a house wash & driveway with our downstream process. Got caught by the rain, but we manage to get it done. #pressurewashing #softwashing #powerwashing
You had the perfect opportunity to interview my boy Tony, and you blew it. YOU BLEW IT! Otherwise a great episode. I buy battery jumper cables from Harbor freight and use the wire. Cheap but effective!
@@allproexteriorservicesllc5338 I did some research with a licensed electrician. He said the jumper cable idea is perfectly fine. Hey man, keep up the good work. And know that I like teasing you. I love your channel !
Joe posts a video talking about downstreaming, hour later Herb posts a video about downstreaming. Hmmm 😜 Lucky for me you both are my favorite channels!
Hi I just bought some eliminator from Lori at pressure washer products in Clearwater. You mentioned you used a half ounce per gallon to make rinsing easier. If I do the same thing in my bleach tank how long can the illuminator sit in the bleach without having issues with it coagulating?week or 2??? Thanks man love your content.
Your videos really help me. I like the way you present the information. It’s real world. Thanks. How many gpm is your machine? This video makes a good case for house washing with a pressure washer.
Appreciate the videos, Herb. Do you use one circuit breaker for each reel or one circuit breaker for all the reels? Is it a 50 amp or 75 amp breaker? Thanks.
This might be a dumb question, but does the tape ever leave a sticky residue that is noticeable? I like the idea of taping like you, just trying to think ahead of any problems
We have not had any problems with residue. However, we only use masking tape unless it is brick. Also, remember to wipe around the plugs when you remove the tape. Thanks
How are you drawing chemicals with a large power washer in downstreaming? I built a similar machine but haven't been able to draw any chemical through it. What's your machine stats?
@@allproexteriorservicesllc5338 I used the check valve setup as you have. Works fantastic with my 4GPM, but my bigger machine is pulling like 11GPM of water and I wasn't able to draw anything. I used a 2.5GP Injector trying to match the GPMs. Was that a mistake?
I Asked Joe this and I’ll ask you as well. On the vinyl siding weep holes do you have many complaints or callbacks with the dirty water oozing from the weep holes onto the clean siding? Thanks.
I had a few complaints when I used to inadvertently spray into the joints of overlapped siding. Now I always try to spray with the overlapped joints of the siding to prevent as much water from getting behind the siding as possible. Hopefully that makes sense and helps you out
@@tonycalabrese8438 yes Tony, thanks, it makes total sense. I must pay attention to the way the siding pieces overlap each other: left over right as opposed to right over left.
@@EDGAR5799 my bad. Pressure Washer Products does not have that valve. Here is a link but you can search the part number on google. barndoorag.com/banjo-side-load-micro-valve-lv050slv/?gclid=CjwKCAjwp_GJBhBmEiwALWBQkxPLvZV20wKBADBW2JsUlA4eQZTX3rosVPOxoka2HnOSGWYjeaB-PxoChPUQAvD_BwE
Ive done houses just like that with nothing but my Simpson 4400psi/4 gpm machine, 100 feet of hose, solution, and an XJet. In fact ive done them all like that. And ill do em like that aaaaall day long. It blows me away how everyone's so obsessed with the trucks 'n trailers thing. Gotta have a truck! Gotta have that trailer! Why? So how"s that finicky Hyundai engine working out for you? How much insurance you pay on that trailer every month? And how much do you pay the bank for all of that? I own my gear outright. MY gear is MINE, not the Man's. I started doing this out of a sub-compact Hyundai Accent. Made it ALL fit. (Had to take the passenger seat out and remove the wheels from the machine to make it fit) Now i have a somewhat more spaçious Chevy HHR.
Jeffrey, thanks for the comment. We do not borrow any money from anyone. We own all of our equipment out right and I self insure my trailer. If we cannot afford to buy it, then we don't need it. There is always multiple ways to wash a house, but we focus on efficiency. BTW, the Honda has been working great & 10 GPM is very efficient for what we do. Thanks
