Building a pressure washing and soft washing skid can be a complex process, but with careful planning and attention to detail, it can be done effectively. A skid is a self-contained unit that can be mounted on a trailer or truck and used for pressure washing or soft washing tasks. This guide will provi...
Need to add a bigger PW to the van this winter and i have a few issues. Room for a Pw is not the problem as I'm removing my old PW. The problem I have is the size of my water tanks. I currently have 2-35 gallon drums so approx 70 gallons total. I plan on taking one of the 35 gallon drums out and replacing it with a 5...
This is for some of you new guys just starting out. You are going to need Tools and Supply's for your trucks. Here's some of the basic stuff you need to carry. Always buy the same brand Couplers and Plugs. I like Hanson plugs and couples, Bob at Pressure Tek and Paul at the Power Wash store has them in stock....
The tongue on my trailer is very short. It was impossible for me to back up. So I found an outfit that sent me a 4 foot section of 2.5X1.5" tubing to extend my tongue an additional 2 foot. For now, the 4 foot section was simply stacked on top of the original tongue. A couple of heavy galvanized U bolts kee...
I just received my new water hose and I'm impressed right out of the box. The box as delivered yesterday and it sat outside in the cold NH air and as soon as I opened the box I was S/Hed the hose was still flexable. The claim to fame about this hose is that it is light weight and flexible and it lives up to its nam...
I was just searching around the net and found this hose. If this is a good as face value would suggest seems like an exceptional deal,..looks like it has a smooth cover and says non-marking. Even free shipping. I don't know if this is the same Pressure-Pro as the PW's? Either way,..I'd probably buy it...
Not happy at all w how the hose is sitting. I used a street 45 and then the bushing. I haven't tried it but it look like i would be better off just putting the bushing directly onto the 90 on the Proportioner Also what is the best way to connect 2 separate lengths of PW hose on the hose reel?
Seeing a lot of guys using them mixing valves on the Proportioners. I bought on on it seems like it would restrict the flow. I put it on my soap and it works good.
Here are the ball valves I've been using for applicators. The short extension in the last photo is actually schedule 80 PVC. PVC can be bent to a desired angle with a little heat from a blow torch. And can be with a basic 1/4" coupler. You just have to bevel the edges to get the threads started. The short...
I've always ran a snow plow Solenoid, this year I went without. What's with these Delvan pumps? Today after 2 roof the pump started shutting on and off. Not Cycling, just on and off. Now it won't turn on at all. Its just grinding. Is that the relay? I sent one pump back last week, now this one has to go.
Hey Guys, I am doing some work on a house that has bronze stains from some architectural bronze arbors. The stains are on flagstone. I tried a roof mix and Ultra One, they didn't touch it. I am avoiding F9 Barc if possible because it leaves a bright spot. Any suggestions?
When needed protection respirators of some sort are needed. There are some posts on FB about what to use. One is a 3M R95 which I haven't researched yet and another is 3M 8567 and the other 3M 6200. We prefer the 3M 8567 since is is full of charcoal and has the exhalation valve and can be reused as long as it's...
This weekend we had trouble with our burner so I did some research because I was a little intimidated playing around with it.. After watching some videos it put me at ease working on them. Perhaps these videos will help others in the future. Hank [video=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFS-we...
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XCJZ9SD/ref=sspa_mw_detail_2?psc=1&th=1This ½” stainless steel motorized ball valve is affordable enough for the home hobbyist, while durable enough for titans of industry. The valve body and stem are made of SS304 steel, which is lead free and safe for d...
Dougie Do posted this video last month. I am surprised to see so little corrosion after two years of continuous use. I think this is further validation that the booster pump can hold up to the sauce due to the apply chems then rinse cycle. This means the pump is a...
