    Silly question but how do you ensure everything mixes well when batch mixing. And can all (chem, water,surfactant) go through downstream injector ok?

    • @MannyAguilarJr

      Paddle mix or drill paint mixer. And yes

      @PressureCleaningSch  Рік тому +6

      When we use to batch mix we did this: Add the bleach to the tank. Then once on job, the water. Once the water is getting to the fill level I want, lets say its a 100 Gallon tank. Then once the water hits 90 gallons, I add my soap. As the water continues to fill it mixes the soap. Just keep the water hose down in the tank, past the fluid level to prevent air gaps which cause the soap to sud up and out of the tank. Yes the bleach, water and surfactant can and will all go through the injector. If thats what you were asking.

    Hey Doug, I have a DeWalt 4400 PSI 4 GPM Honda GX390 pressure washer and recently got a 20” whirl away surface cleaner. What surface cleaner tips do you recommend for cleaning concrete, stone/masonry and brick respectively?
    Also, do you recommend using a surface cleaner with low pressure on wood. I’ve seen some people say yes and others no. Thanks!

    • @PressureCleaningSch
      @PressureCleaningSch  Рік тому +3

    Hey Doug. Thank you for such Great informative videos. I am setting up a new equipment and was wondering what you recommended for feeding water from buffer tank to each machine. In other words i have a p40 softwashing, a 5.5 gpm prssure washer for hot water system and a IGX800 10gpm. I have a 1" coming out of my buffer tank. Can I "T" off to each machine or do you recommend having their own individual water line ? I have seen both systems installed on rigs. I am afraid that if I am ever using all 3 machines at the same time, each machine will have trouble drawing water. Any suggestions? Thanks

    • @PressureCleaningSch
      @PressureCleaningSch  9 місяців тому

      You think like I do on this. I prefer separate lines for each machine. I tried the other way once and had issues.

    When batch mixing, once you're done with a job, what do you do with your remaining mix? I assume just leave it in the tank for the next job but if the next job needs a different mix (or multiple different mix ratios) how do you keep up with the percentages and know exactly what percentage you are at after adding SH or diluting with water if there was already a pre-made mix in there to begin with? Not sure if this makes much sense but had to ask! Thanks!

    • @PressureCleaningSch
      @PressureCleaningSch  Рік тому +2

      Yes leave in tank and add bleach or water as needed. No real way to know ratio. Just have to guess really.

    When down-streamin…. You have to add soap to bleach tank correct?? I know there are metering systems for softwash systems but are there anything similar for downstreaming ?

    • @PressureCleaningSch

      I add soap to bleach tank and downstream from same tank as my soft wash pump. I do not meter my soap ever.

    • @MannyAguilarJr
      @MannyAguilarJr Рік тому +2

      Yes or (my plan) you can make your own metering manifold out of 1/4" or 1/2" or there's a down streamer that has two barbs to draw from.
