Just starting up here in Seattle, got a box truck and some good gear, selling cars in the meantime. I’m loving your channel for good advice. I think Since your channel is still semi- small the interactions are more 1 on 1 and you we can relate more to you. Not to discredit the good info you’re dropping.
I have been watching your videos for close to a year now, absolutely love them. I cannot wait for the program, would love to talk to you. I am starting up my business March of this year. Omaha NE
Complete beginner here: how do you determine how much to mix for the job though? Couldn't you mix a batch and run out before the job is complete or conversely end up with a lot of unused product cause you made more than you needed?
Good question. You determine how much to mix by what you are trying to clean. And you’ll learn about that as you get into the business and How much bleach you’re going to need for the Job. If you mix a batch and run out you can easily make another batch while you’re at the job. If you’re left with unused mix, you can use it at the next job. And if you need to dilute the batch, you can simply do that by adding water.
Thanks for the video, I’m using essential pool chlorine from Walmart which is 10%. How can I get the right percent to clean the roof of my house which is a 1,500 square feet house. My roof is not that dirty but it has some black spot that I want to clean.
Austin I need your help. Everytime I downstream a house, its super hard to not get even just a little bit of chemical mist into my eyes. Bases are the absolute worst for your eyes. Additionally, breathing in the downstream spray, or even just the bleach fumes, I notice I lose some sense of smell for the rest of the day. I dont understand how you guys can be spraying without safety glasses or a respirator, every day, for years, without having these problems? Do you not get the same eyes, nose and lungs concerns when softwashing or downstreaming?
@@AustinDavis24 appreciate the response. Definitely will checkout your course when you release. The thing is I do wear safety glasses but even then I still get fine mist in my eyes and when there's bleach in them mist it immediately makes my eyes sting. Then I notice for the rest of that day my vision being impaired. Then I see guys on UA-cam doing exactly what I was doing wearing nothing but sunglasses. I don't understand how you guys aren't having the same problems or if you're just pushing through them. Also you haven't noticed just smelling the bleach having an impact on you?
@@AustinDavis24 is your course going to have any direct communication components? Like a lot of courses provide content but only the best allow people to communicate directly to the course creator.
Love this video! This here is great information. I am writing from Canada, seems 12.5% might be harder to find than in the US. 10.3% is available but this formula still seems to work, it just needs more bleach as the factor is higher. So for your first example instead of 9.5gallons I would need 11.5gallons to achieve the same 4% mix. For your online course. Why is it monthly? Can one learn it all in a month then unsubscribe? Or you only release certain modules on a monthly basis. Thanks!
It’s monthly because of the private Facebook group. Weekly Q&A’s, on going mentorship. Access to my Calendly which are free 1 on 1s from 5-9pm Monday - Friday. Of course we’re going to always ad content to the course. And of course, you can cancel any time.
How would this be with downstreaming since it will only pull a low percentage of sh anyhow compared to what your talking about for a cleaning method without a manifold. Confused on how that exactly works lol.
Down streaming and batch mixing are different. Batch mixing refers to using a soft wash pump. To achieve higher percentages then a downstream reamer can give you.
Let's say I plan to test my new pressure washer and surface cleaner on the folks 2 car driveway, I don't even know how to safely get the bleach outta the 5 gallon container I ordered and this vid calls for more than 5 gallons? This feels like I stepped into the smart people class 😂
Do you know how much bleach has gone into the tank by paying attention to how much is coming out of the bleach tank. Usually it’s numbered on the side of the barrel
The math is simple enough but how do you decide how much in total you will need so you don't end up running out or mixing more than you need? If you have 20 gallons of 3% left over and the next job requires say 1% do you just dilute the remainder to 1%? I just want to make sure I'm doing this right so sorry if this is a dumb question. Noob here.
Hey man what if im downstreaming out of a 5 gallon bucket how do i mix it with the 4 gallons per minute going through the pressure washer diluting it more i just cant seem to get it right.
Any luck? I'm currently trying to figure this out self. In the process of ordering equipment and supplies and I'd sure like some insite on this question as well.
Are you connecting your downstream injector to this container that you have mixed and when you spray the water out of your pressure washer it dilutes it down to the 4%.
This is the clearest explanation I've seen for this so far.
Cannot wait for this to go live. I’m in 100%
Giving all the goods!!! Can't wait for the launch!
whats the % for pretreatment
And what’s the % when using surface cleaner? How do you achieve 4% with down stream injector?
Great video for beginners.
Thank you!

Damn you should’ve been a Calculus professor 😂 I still want a proportioned before I launch later this year.
Thanks man. Ive always seen the end number people say their using but how they got there never made sense

Where do you store your SH?
Great content 👍🔥🔥
when it comes to downstreaming with an injector on vinyl siding can I normally get away with a 50/50 mix in my batch mix?
No put it in straight and it will come out at 1.5% mix

do you use customers water or bring your own?

I always wear glasses. Definitely want to protect yourself. I don’t have issue with smell or breathing

Do you lose even more percentage from your batch by downstreaming?
I’ve was thinking the same thing , adding more water will just change that ratio

@@AustinDavis24 inexperienced question as I'm still learning. Thanks for the videos
Just downstream straight SH, you’ll be fine.
@simplycleanpressurewashing758 that's what I do until I get a true softwash skid.
@@brandenpatterson9936 downstreaming is soft washing too, your just using a pressure washer to accomplish it. Much success!

All I can see is that one lowercase letter in bleach. 😮😅
What if we are using our pressure washer to apply bleach?
If you are downstreaming from your pressure washer, you need to pull from straight 12.5%
Just curious, how do you count how much siphoned bleach into batch tank
Do you know how much bleach has gone into the tank by paying attention to how much is coming out of the bleach tank. Usually it’s numbered on the side of the barrel
And if its not numbered, what is your suggestion. Any sort of metering devices that you know of to connect to your siphoning line?
Also, do you only add surfactant to batch tank to knock down bleach smell? On another note, best concrete brightener on the market?
Hey man skid link does not appear

Yes you can do that.
This is the most complicated way I've ever seen done!
How?
It's probably the easiest way I have seen.
@@kingcarnage_ hahah

So ⅓ dilution
no, watch again
Now, say you had a 30 gal. tank, with it being half full of 3% from the previous job, but now needed to top it up to full at 7.5%?
15gal ÷ 12.5% = 1.2
1.2 × 4.5 = 5.4gal
Ad 5.4gal of SH to the tank and 9.6gal of H20 you'll have a 7.5% mix
Damn you nailed that like a split hog!
Half of this with bleach, half of this with water DUHH!
Are you connecting your downstream injector to this container that you have mixed and when you spray the water out of your pressure washer it dilutes it down to the 4%.
