Power Washing and Roof Cleaning Forum

I do realize that money can be limited at the startup of a new venture,..not to mention the "scope" of the venture,..meaning,..not wanting to spend money until you see how things are going to go. This business sees ALOT of turnover form people who started and then couldn't do it,..or wouldn't do what was needed to gain customers.

Anyhow,.buying a used surface cleaner is a touchy thing unless:
(1) You actually know approximately how much time is on the machine
(2) You get a REALLY good deal

The swivels on these units is what makes them work well,..if you buy a used surface cleaner and you don't don't anything about the machine or how it should work during a test run you could be buying a machine that isn't 100% working properly due to the swivel wearing out and slowing down.

And if you do try someones used surface cleaner,.be sure you have the correct nozzles in the unit to suit your machine. I'd guess (2) 2503 nozzles?

The swivels are expensive so just beware of what you're buying.

There are certain "Basic" things that I'd do so different if I were starting up with the knowledge I have now,..Having an 8 GPM machine and a surface cleaner being two of them.

No matter which one you buy make sure you have one of these (welding torch tip cleaners) around.
