That rain gear was needed, actually surprised you don't have more videos than you do with rain being down in Florida. I'm here in DC looking from afar, no pool or screens but enjoy the content all around.
Cliff, great videos that are very informative, but can you tell me the name cleaning product you are using for the soft washing of the pool cage and screen? I am outside of Orlando and after 6 months my cage and screen looks like it hasn't been cleaned in years.
So cleaning the aluminum at the top and then the sides doesn’t tear the screen? And how do you clean a travertine deck? I was told you’re not supposed to pressure wash them? Great video thanks!
I soap Outside then inside (those 2 can be swapped) but I always rinse Outside 1st then inside 2nd because if you rinse inside 1st and rinse Outside 2nd you will push all the dirty water back inside that's already cleaned
Since you seem to be the only one on UA-cam who responds to your subs!! I went with the dn10 valve, set everything up correctly and when I crack the valve, it doesn’t seem to catch pressure. I’ve cracked it just a little bit, and fully open and just doesn’t seem to want to build pressure. I’m running a dewalt 3500psi setup for the time being, do you have any idea on what the issue could be? I’m trying to just run a ball valve setup and eliminate my wand. I see others doing it, but no one seems to respond to subscribers anymore lol. Any idea boss?
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash I haven’t. I’ll make that my next step. I’ve noticed when I kink the line in my hand it will help it build pressure quick but as soon as I let it go it loses it. But if I put the wand on, no problems lol. Driving me nuts😂
Sodium hypochlorite better known as chlorine. No it doesn't go in the pressure washer especially those little homeowner grade ones that has that little dispenser. It will literally eat the pump up. I'm the professional field we use a little attachment called a downstream injector which injects the chemical into the water that's passing through the hose. (It's called downstream injector because it's installed after the pump)
This is great stuff man, I watch a lot of your videos. I learned a lot just from this one. I’m up in Tallahassee and come to Tampa to visit friends a good bit. I’ll for sure pass on your company info. If you’re up for it, when I’m down sometime I’d love to get up with you. I would GLADLY work for free for you for a day, doing hoses, filming or anything else you need. No catch, I enjoy learning and you look like you do things the right way. - Jesse -

Hey, I'm new to the channel. I'm from Pierson FL. Do you have videos of your soft wash system rig? Set up and attachments?. I'm thinking about starting a weekend side business...
Hey bro. Keep in mind I have an 8gpm so unless you have the same the tips will differ. But I use a 2550 soap tip. And the long range tip is a Davis shooter tip.
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash I have a 4 gallon GPM HOTSY, do you know what size tip I would use with a 2.1 down streamer to get the same results thanks 1 million👍🏼
Congratulations on starting. I got an 8gpm j rod so unless you got a 8gpm pressure washer it will be different nozzles for you. But for the gun I use suttner 2605s and I have 1 gun with a 12inch wand and 1 gun with a 36inch wand
The chemical that cleans is sodium hypochlorite better known as pool chlorine. Surfactant aka soap can be added to make it stick to the screens for longer dwell time.
Hey Cliff, great video 👍. If you have to clean decorative curbing or planters curbing like the one you did in this video but it is right on top of healthy grass how would you go about cleaning it? Still 5% and a possible neutralizer?
Be careful spraying that hot around a flower bed. Definitely would need to water them down a lot before and after. A neutralizer is another fancy way of doing it. Agent halt or sodium thiosulfate will do the trick.

No it doesn't unless u do it incorrectly by blasting it with high pressure.
I've surface cleaned and soft wash Travertine. Both are fine.
Great to know! Thanks
what’s your cleaning mixture and ratio ?
2% mix of sodium hypochlorite better known as chlorine
When you're cleaning a pool screening cage do you start on the inside or outside first and why thanks.
I soap Outside then inside (those 2 can be swapped) but I always rinse Outside 1st then inside 2nd because if you rinse inside 1st and rinse Outside 2nd you will push all the dirty water back inside that's already cleaned

Nah cause that's on the home owner and lots of times the sprinklers are facing the grass.

That's gonna depend on the house size. I keep 200ft on my hose reel. That's get 90% done

No problem
Is the everflo 5500 5.5 gpm ok to run sh thru or do I need a different everpro?
Yes they work fine. Just gotta rinse it for a good 5 minutes with fresh water after you're done working.
What ball valve are you using? Also what is SH is it the best for a pool cage cleaner?
DN10 ball valve. Sh is liquid chlorine. Just get u some from anywhere
How do you go about pricing pool screen enclosures??? Roughly price range to charge
I price them 250 and up. Depending on the size.

Ocala, fl here. A&W Softwash
Shoutout to Ocala!
Do you ever notice the paint coming off the aluminum? Would that just mean the mix is too hot?
No. But if it is its cause the cage is oxidized and the pressure hitting it makes it come off. Not the mix.
Nice work man! 👏
Thanks Roman
Bro , if I am downstreaming it doesn’t matter what percentage of SH I get because the most it’ll pull will be maybe 1.5% max no ? Am I right ? Please help
