Thanks for passing on your wealth of knowledge 🤙. I was just curious if I had an extra dedicated 30m of 3/8 Jetter hose (no steel to corrode) and gun at the end could I place the modified X-Jet were I connect this hose out of my trailer to my original hose and then have a small hose from the X-jet to bucket. It would be setup essentially like using it the same as a downstream injector but keep SH out of my original steel braided hose and hose reel swivel. Would this still draw the same ratio’s listed on instructions or would the extra 20-30m of pressure hose wreck the suction draw? Again, much appreciated Dougie !

@kidsmikat2624 Год назад

Great video I loved it one question though. What % bleach mixture do you use for cleaning house siding?

@quietlike 2 года назад

If you use a jrod with a xjet, will it shut off the mix if you use the "rinse" tips and turn on when you use the "soap" tips? Just as if the xjet wasn't connected? Or do you just use the valve on the xjet hose to stop the mix from entering the stream? Can you do a video or chart on mixing ratios for different jobs? stucco, vynal, concrete, everything! plz!

@Allcoastlawnandpressurewashing Год назад

I just did a test with my 4gpm PW and the Xjet I got 3 gallons after siphoning a gallon of water. So that should put me at about 4.1% if using 12.5 % SH

@Atekcs 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for the video. What is the difference between this x jet vs down streaming. New and trying to learn thank you!

@PressureCleaningSch 11 месяцев назад

DS injector house at machine, reel, etc anywhere after the pump. X-jet goes at the wand. Few other differences but that the main ones

@peachypound6108 Год назад

When using the X-Jet it’s usually a 4-to-1 ratio. When down streaming it’s roughly a 10-to-1 ratio. The higher number being water.

@fingolfin9086 Год назад

So assuming 12.5% SH that’s over 3%, you could roof wash with that.

@kennetheddleman3382 2 года назад

Great video, I believe I need to re build my modified x jet because it’s pushing water into my soap bucket and only sprays water.

@PressureCleaningSch 2 года назад

Could also be wrong nozzle causing restriction.

@toddluns1 2 месяца назад

@@toddluns1 I got mine off Amazon and they sent me one that wasn’t Strong enough for a 5.5 so I had to order a new orface or how ever you spell it. I put the new one inside the x jet and it’s worked ever since.

@scottlang7130 Год назад

Great video. Appreciate it. So let me see if I understand this. You mentioned however you dilute the SH in the bucket is pretty close to how it’ll come out with an xjet. So does that mean if you’re starting off with 12.5% SH and you put 50/50 Sh and water. You’ve got about 6.25% SH inside the bucket and by the time it goes through the PW and house water line it’ll still be 6.25% roughly? The house water line in the PW doesn’t dilute it anymore?

@PressureCleaningSch Год назад

Yes it will dilute it some. I just, for me is how I do it. The X jet comes with a chart to help you with exact solutions if that’s what your wanting to figure out. I’ve never been one to do that. I just need it to change the color of the organic stains. If it does that I know it’s strong enough.

@atomic7104 Год назад

Great video!! You said that modifying will lower pressure so will it lower the draw and if so what would the draw be in the modified state? Thank you

@PressureCleaningSch Год назад

It won’t lower the draw.

@stevanhoffman4240 2 года назад

I bought the modified gun today for pre and post treatment on flat surface and its a game changer for me after the pump up sprayer. If you're coming from a pump up just be sure your technique and hose control is good or you'll go through a ton more chemical. My black soap tip allows a bit less pressure than the m5 twist so i use that for SH, and the m5 for regular soap. Love this thing, ill be recommending it on all the forums.

@PressureCleaningSch 2 года назад

Awesome. Glad you like it. Thanks Steve

@TheSoulmaster12 11 месяцев назад

Hi Doug, thank you for the information here. I just got my xjet m5 in the mail, and water absolutely refuses to come out of it. I tore it apart and noticed the spring was under the orifice, stumbled upon your video, and put it back together correctly, still not luck, it just completely plugs up the machine here, I don't know what to do or what I'm doing wrong.

@PressureCleaningSch 11 месяцев назад

Not sure either without actually seeing but sounds like you may have just got a bad one. Orifice in first then spring. Then the plug.

@user-rr9od7li5j 5 месяцев назад

Great video, as usual. Just one thing puzzles me - If I create the desired output dilution rate in the bucket, wouldn't it be decreased by the addition of water through the pump? What is the ratio of chemical from the bucket to water from the pump if no proportioner is used?

@juansebastianlopez8828 3 года назад

Hey Doug, thank you for all the useful information. I use a quad rod (jrod) for soft washing with a 3.5 gpm machine. Do you think is worth to invest on an x-jet? I currently use my down streamer, so I am limited to the ratio that my pressure washer gives me (10-1). I want to be able to use hotter mixes, but I don't know if having only 3.5 gpm will give me a good reach when using the x-jet. I have heard some people say they don't get a good stream with anything less than 4 gpm. Thank you in advance.

@PressureCleaningSch 3 года назад

If you want a hotter mix yes a good investment. And agree on 3.5GPM distance, may not get great read, but one of those things you never know till you try.

@juansebastianlopez8828 Год назад

Hey Doug, do you think I will benefit more from a down stream injector? Maybe closing the one from my machine and just using an actual injector? And would the length of the hose make a difference on dilution ratios when using one? Thank you in advance.

@juansebastianlopez8828 Год назад

Also, can you use the nozzle if you put the plug back in it? Like an M5 nozzle?

@tomw6308 2 года назад

Hey Doug, Placed an order last week. Almost completely understand downstream and xjet purely from your videos. One question I have starting out is what do I do about my chems? I don't have a steady stream of customers. Would you just go to Lowes and buy gallons of bleach(or larger if they have them) as needed and then put in a 5 gallon bucket (like the xjet bucket) mixed with water and a surfactant? I was about to just buy a 65 gallon tank thinking that I could just leave it sitting in there and didn't realize it degrades over time. Also, you've told me a soft wash system is just a sprayer on steroids. Just starting with tight funds would it be a good alternative just to carry around a pump sprayer for decks, fences and areas on a house that need a little more heat and then rinse with the pressure washer at lower psi?

@PressureCleaningSch 2 года назад

Yes just buy gallon jugs and use 5 gallon buckets to downstream out of until your ready to buy in bulk. And yes on the Pump up sprayer too. You got this.

@AndrewKing-lw2bs 3 года назад

Hi Doug, I recently ordered the X-Jet M5 from your store, and I want to use it to get me by until I can invest in a softwash system. With a 4,000 PSI 4.0 GPM machine, if I run the X-Jet open with no orifice, 10% SH mixed 50/50 with water will get me a true 5% out the tip? I see some other comments from you saying you don't find the 3:1 stated on the card to be accurate but do you feel it does dilute it some? Presumably it has to be diluting it to some extent because water will still be flowing from the machine as well. I ask because that will make a big difference on how you mix the 5-gallon bucket. If I were intending to spray a 3% mix for houses/hardi siding, should I go with a true 3% mix in the bucket, or make it stronger to account for maybe even a 2:1 dilution in the x-jet (still running it without any of the colored inserts) Because that's a big difference... either 1.5 gallon of 10% SH in the bucket or 3 gallon of SH to = 6% diluted 2:1 in the X-Jet down to 3% Thanks for any insight!

@PressureCleaningSch 3 года назад

I'd just mix it at 3% and go from there. Add some more bleach if it's not working good enough. Add water if working to fast. I really don't get into all the exact% since every job can be different depending on surface and staining. The exact % coming out of the gun makes no matter to me, what I look for is, is the bleach changing the color of the algae or not?

For your proportioners, if you put a quick connect where the Barb is, you can easily Change between portioners very Quickly. The Proportionerl fits right inside of the quick connect. No mixing, just Poor and go....!!!

Hi Doug. I just ordered and received my Xjet M5 (#9) with the xjet pale system. My question is, the xjet hose comes with the metal screen on the end of the hose so what do I attach to the male attachment piece that is on the pale system? Do I have cut my hose and remove the screen part and then slide that on to the barb hose fitting on the pale?

@PressureCleaningSch 2 года назад

Yes. You got it. Cut that screen off and attach to the hose barb on the bucket

How do I get a 1-1.25% solution using a 2.3gpm machine and 10% sh? Do I use a proportioner at all? No proportioner is .8:1. I’m currently using a 9-1 proportioner while putting 1.25 gallons of 10% SH and the rest water in a 5 gallon jug. Is that to lean for vinyl siding?

What is your recommended mix for gloeocapsa magma on roof shingles? I am using a 4gpm machine and an xjet m5 with xjet bucket

Not sure. I'd never use an x jet for a roof. But I'm guessing I'd use full strength depending one the severity of staining.

Doug I just bought a 4000 Simpson pressure washer I don’t want to fry this thing once I release the trigger so how can I have the water run into a bucket or ground do you have a set up that I can buy of you guys before I fire this up thanks

@PressureCleaningSch Год назад

If it’s belt drive you can bypass off the unloader. If not then you can get a ball valve set up and open when off the trigger. But, it in any case, relax, you can be off trigger up to a minute or so, plus it should have a relief valve to prevent damage to the pump. No need not to fire up.

I have been looking for something like the modified xjett gun for a long time. Im using to pre and post treat 3% flat and didn't want all the psi of a regular xjett. Ill be ordering your ready to use complete modification gun tomorrow morning. If I put a mix or 3% in the 5 gallon jug, will it come out the tip at close to 3%, or do i have to use straight 10% since the water supply will further dilute it???

Will come out pretty close to. You’ll just have to play around with it to get it where you like it.

@stefanovszkidavid Год назад

Hey Doug, you said mix the bucket half/half and that what will come out at the Xjet. Now its a 3:1 or 4:1 ratio on average, so how you get a half and half mix coming out at the end? To draw bleach without a proportioner from a 5 gal bucket took my 4gpm 4000psi pressure washer exactly 3:30sec. Now while I was drawing 5 gal Bleach I put out about 14-15gal total. Which is a 3:1 ratio. My SH was only 10.5% so the end result was around 3%. But you said mix half and half and the end result gonna be that. I don’t understand what you meant. I like your videos but sometimes I get lost. Thanks for your reply

@PressureCleaningSch Год назад

Yeah your ratios are correct. That’s an older video I corrected later. Sorry about the confusion.

Hey Doug I have a question. I only do flat surface, driveway, sidewalk, etc. Laying down pre and post treats with a 2 gallon pump up sprayer is a burden. So if i get this video you are saying without modifications the xjett is to high pressure for that type of task? I really have to get away from the pump up but in the most affordable way possible as im just getting started.

@PressureCleaningSch 2 года назад

No I did not mean that, just need to be careful of the overspray onto grass though. It will work fine with out the modification for pre and post treating, but again watch the mist and over spray.

@billd.8925 2 года назад

I have two soft wash systems, both with 4gpm 4000 psi machines. We turn down the pressure and both units have 100ft of suction hose to the xjet. It siphons without issue. It will even siphon up on the roof when we have to get closer to peaks etc, albeit takes a few seconds longer for the solution to reach the nozzle. We do HOA condo buildings and townhomes with this system, and it's the only thing we use.

Hey Doug quick question so if I’m not using the proportioners and using the 50/50 mix what is the % I’m using on the house wash? Also Slovene question if I’m using the 10-1 proportioners is it just SH AND surfactant…. And what’s that % on a house

@PressureCleaningSch 2 года назад

If you want to figure the exact %’s there is an instruction guide w the x jet that will explain all that with and without the proportioners. It’s also on my web site. I’ve never been one to get into exact percentages. I just need to know if it’s strong enough to change the color of the organic stains.

@frankhinojosa133 2 года назад

@@PressureCleaningSch so I looked at the videos and on your website and I’m still really not finding the answer I’m looking for. So if I’m using the proportion or am I using just Street SH West surfactant? If I’m not using the proportioners am I basically doing batch mixing if so I’m trying to find how to find those percentages and correct chemical ratios because I’m not sure if it’s going to be too hot or not enough if I’m doing a 50-50 mix

Hi Mr. Doug Rucker. Watch the section on the video on the proportioner ratio. I'm getting confused. I'm going to run no tip (open) on the X-Jet system. The X-Jet chart states (1.6 - 1). I'm also assuming this is full throttle on the machine. If I'm using 10% (SH) and using 3500 psi @ 4.0 gpm machine how do I figure out the ratio in the 5 gallon for (1.0% , 2% & 3%)? Do i have to use 2.5 gal (SH) with 2.5 gal of (water) = 5%. Then divide that by 1.6, which = 3.125? Again. I little confusing when you're saying it comes out of the gun the same as the solution in the container. Just curious any information will be helpful. Thanks Michael C - (WA)

@PressureCleaningSch 3 года назад

Hey Michael, that 1.6 is always going to be dependent on many variables, thats why I always go by and say that it pretty much is coming out by what you mix it at.

@michaelc7283 3 года назад

@@PressureCleaningSch Hi Mr Rucker, I did a few draw test and the math this weekend. The chart was correct at (1.6 - 1) with a 4.0 gpm no tip (open) and full throttle. You can round off a little to 1.5 if that helps. If so, remember it will be divide by 2.5 So basically you make a strong mix solution in the 5 gallon container and then divide it 2.6 or 2.5. That will give you the percent. Example: Using 10% (SH). 1. Mix 2.5 gallon (SH) - 2.5 gallon of water = 5.0%. 2. Now divide that by 2.6 and you get 1.9% or close to (2.0%). This will be the draw that comes out of the X-Jet. The same steps for using 12.5% (SH). Again just make sure you do a draw test with the machine. It you draw straight 12.5% or 10% from the 5 gallon bucket divide it by 2.6 or 2.5 and you will get you percent. I hope this helps someone. Thank you, Michael C - (WA)
