    FYI, 2504 nozzle DOES NOT indicate 4 gpm. The 04 is the size of the orifice. In order to determine the correct nozzle for your machine, you have to refer to the psi/gpm chart to find out the correct size.

I thought I knew everything 15 years ago then I indulged in a lot of literature regarding this industry and realized even after being in the industry for 12 years I was barely scratching the surface no pun intended.

Some people say this is not right what ima tell you but them same people don’t pay my bills so screw them. I will knock on a door if they answer I say I’m the boy that does the driveways I did your neighbor down the street and had a little extra material. I will charge you $60 labor and $19 a gallon for material. Well how much will that be, they say. It’s not gonna cost you much dear but them some nice flowers bla bla bla. Well if you like I will get started on that for you. The flower talk is to get them off of price. So I do the driveway and walk up there to bill and I say it took a 100 gallons so that will be $1960.00 and don’t worry about the taxes dear. But in all it only took 10 gallons. But hey that’s my strategy and it works for me.

      I'm not a pro but at 500$ you can probably get a good power washer and a decent surface cleaner
      a 300$ power washer averages about 2.5 GPM so if you want to powerwash for let's say 4 hours at a time you would need a tank that can hold 2.5*60*4= 600gal storage
      50-gallon water tanks run about 120$ so use property water at the moment

    Hey Billy great video as always I’m debating whether to get a fork in a minute or five down a minute Pressurewash are the only thing that I’m wondering about is if I get a 5 gallon a minute Pressurewash or will I need a buffer tank thank you

    • @billydavidsonvip
      @billydavidsonvip  5 років тому +1

      The answer to your question may be a little more complicated than a simple yes or no. That being said theoretically you should be able to run a 6 gallon per minute pressure washer just about off of any residential water source. Although we don’t live in a perfect world and there are many other calculations and other things you need to keep in mind before doing this. In my opinion if you going to run anything more than a 4 gallon per minute pressure washer I personally would buy a very specific type of pump that will siphon off of a buffer tank. Not all pumps will siphon from a water tank. If you need more help on this feel free to reach out to me at anytime again thanks for watching the videos

      Think he meant to say sodium hypochlorite. I would suggest starting around a 3% mix. So, if you use 12.5% SH then if you used 1 gallon per 10 gallons of water you would have 1.25%. So roughly 2.5 gallons per 10 would bring you around that starting point. I would have a ground guy dedicated to watering bushes and tending to the runoff, finding out where gutters are running off too etc. I also rinse the roots of all the plants near very heavily. You can kill them very easily if your not careful. Good luck man. ps look into a soft wash pump. A 12v pump is a good inexpensive start. NorthStar makes a nice 5.5 gpm one that is easy to set up, makes life super easy, then you can rinse with your pressure washer, just use much bigger tips.

    This video goes into some of my deepest secrets that I have never shared in public. If my competition figured this out they could clean my clock.
    I want to share this video but I definitely have to keep it out of the hands of my competition. This information has took me almost 26 years to develop with a lot of blood sweat and tears. If you are interested in getting this video you absolutely have to be at least 75 miles away from Hammond Louisiana. I will sell the video link for $15.
