Dude thank you. I swear most guys on here take 15 minutes to say what you just said in a minute and a half
I swear bro i been looking at so many videos and can vouch this made it simple and clear now i know what to use and how to use it
Man if I could slam the like button harder I would
i’ve been looking to get into soft washing and you literally explain everything and answered every question i had in a minute and a half. wish i would’ve found this video days ago. appreciate your efficiency and and not drawing the video out 10 minutes. instant sub.
That was the goal I’m happy it helped you!
feel u it does suck but they gotta get it to 8 mins for ads
I have watched hundreds of videos and you explained everything so much better than everyone else. Right to the point. Thank you!
I want to soft wash my house. Which JROD nozzles should I purchase. When I look them up there are several options. My house has two stories. Thanks for the video. Easy and to the point.
You my friend, are a legend.
Do you lower the pressure when downstreaming
How high up can you spray soft wash solution using a typical home depot 2.4 gpm gas pressure washer? And would one of those jrod tips reach 30 to 40 feet?
Hell yea, quick and simple 👌
Yessir
Great 👍 job
Do you have the link for the wand you have ?
how good is that pressurewasher? and do you recomend for someones thats first starting
Will this work on a 2000 psi washer. I just want to wash my vinyl once a year. Not looking to go into business with a big machine.
Hey , so i just purchased my downstream injector & wondered if you used any specific attachment to plug the downstream connector into the pressure washer.
Just the regular quick connect thats on the washer
How do you control your mix say if you wanted to do a roof or driveway?
You need a soft wash machine for tjay
Great video, personally, I think 50-50 ratios way too high. I would do a 2080.
Question is that 1.8 or 2.1 injector
I have to double check I believe 1.8 tho
@@jmventurelog please do and comment back because I'm buying that same set up that way I know which one I need to buy
@@thomasstueart1992 What'd you get? How much you charging per job?
@@jmventureloggood question do you know if you use a 2.1 or 1.8 venture?
What kind of surfactent
I’ve done all of this and double checked everything several times and I’m still getting very little SH being pulled and stuff I’m washing won’t even get soapy
I had the same issue take apart the injector clean the inside, sometimes the little ball and the Spring gets stuck. Spray some DW40. Make sure you're injector the arrows Pointed to the gun should work after that
What downstream injector do you use for this?
I believe it’s from pressuretek or northern tool
Can you do a video explaining how a 6% mix turns into a 1% mix because of the downstream injector?
from what I know of it depends on the ratio, so if the injector is 10:1, then 10% SH will translate to 1 % coming out of the gun. I could be wrong tho
@@Cristian-em3ukYes, that assumes you didn't dilute the SH first and are using pure SH.
Love how simply u explained 👍..... Plz help.... And to get 4-5% mixed how should we use n what should we do using the same setup? Plz help ....
If you have a 5 gallon bucket you mix 2.5 bleach with 2.5 water plus a bit of surfactant (dawn dish soap works well). You’ll get a 5% mix that way
assuming you have 10% SH
To get 5% you’re gonna have to actually run a soft wash setup. You can make one for under 300 bucks. Or just fill a pump sprayer with straight SH, one area will be fine but I can tell you back packing a whole house is a pain in the ass lol
Can I use this with a 2.2gpm pressure washer Or would i have to upgrade to a 4.0gpm machine?. If i would have to upgrade to that then id need my own water source?? Not sure how that all works seems expensive if id need to upgrade to a 4.0gpm
Water valves on a home are usually 10-12gpm
I've been looking for months for this type of video to show how to set up downstreaming with regular pressure washer. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi @jmventurelog I thought the purpose of downstream injecting was to not have to mix SH with water to get a house wash mix at the tip. I'm trying to learn the industry.
bro. loved it. THIS IS ALL I NEEDED and i've been watching videos for the last 2 hours. Quick question I quite didn't understand on 1:04 when you explain when the SH mixture stops and water runs...is it because of the tip itself-how does that work? or you gotta use a valve to stop/continue the SH mixture??
What I want to know is why is that adapter 175 bucks. I've seen cheap ones on Amazon I'm guessing there all ching made no matter the price.
Yeah some are better than others but it shouldnt be that expensive
when I attach the downstream injector to the same exact pressure washer it doesnt pull that much, should I cover the old hole where the stock pump is. or do you think its an issue with the injector I bought
Its probably the JROD, make sure you have the right size orifice
Can I copy this Jrod and downstream injector method on my father in laws 2.0 GPM super old craftsman power washer or do I have to have a 4.0 GPM machine?
Wondering the same
To the point. Thank you!
Which gpm jrod did you use?
Can you link that downstream injector for us? Absolutely amazing video. Gave me confidence to do this now
Love to hear it! You can get the injector from anywhere online pretty much just make sure its rated for the gpm of your machine
Mine pressure washer has a soap injector that’s already attached with the pump. Do you recommend buying a aftermarket one?
Definitely the built in one will go bad quick
So if ya add that downstream injector fitting like you had shown in the video is can bypass the soap injector thing that comes on ur new pressure washer . I got a Westinghouse 3200 2.5 gpm and don’t quite understand how to do it . I’m assuming that if ya put chemicals in that soap thing it’s bound to fck it up sooner that later . Thanks in advance bro
I have the same set up.. do i need to plug the stock injector?? Will it suck air??
Can you use that mix on a teak deck? Got a job coming up and was wondering?
Using the downstream is it possible to get a stronger mix? If so, how?
Any way to make the percentage higher than 1%? Say 5%
I need 3rd story gutter rimse ans soap tip any reconmendations
Will the bleach damage the house or property in any way
What do you us as a surfactant?
Have you had any problems with your pump when downstreaming SH with your Predator 4400? When I bought it, they said you can't use bleach with it. I would love to start using SH with me pressure washer
You can’t run bleach through any pump that’s why we use a down stream injector because it allows the bleach to enter the hose after the pump
Ur a G
Can that J rod be used for a 3200 PSI 4.5 GPM pressure washer to soft wash? Or do you need a specific one or something? New to soft washing - Thanks
Yep it’ll work for that you just have to get the right one
So the jrod allows you to soft wash
@@malonmcintire4526 if you have the right size nozzles in the j rod, then yes
how many psi / GPm should you have for this
At least 4
Does the soap only come out on the soap attachments not the rinse ?
Yup
How does it stop soap from pulling? @@jmventurelog
is this pulling bleach into the pump?
No because it's injecting the mix AFTER the pump.
How do you like that harbor freight pressure washer. Has it help up well over time?
Definitely they’re great machines with proper care
Dosnt it corrode the other parts?
It only goes through the gun and hose bc the injector is after the pump but when you rinse with water it flushes it all out
So what will be the recommended mix ratio for a roof job while using the downstream since is pulling water while pulling the mix tru the hose.
Can't really do a roof with ds injector doesn't pull hot enough need a 12v or AR pump.
Use a pressure washer on a roof and then pay someone to re-shingle the roof you just destroyed
How much water pressure do you use?
It’s not about the pressure we soft wash
What kind of gun are you using?
Suttner forget the exact model
@@jmventurelog thanks, is this setup universal if I were to buy a 2.5 gpm pressure washer?
Started doing the same thing love it
Love to hear it!
Where can i get downstream injector and will hypo not break seals in pressure hose
Wouldn’t the soap keep pulling even with the rinse tip unless you remove the downstream hose out from the bucket?
Nope it stops pulling with the rinse top automatically
How? I don’t get how it stops.
@@stuff_i_liked1815 speculation here, but the rinse tips flow more gpm than pressure tips. That higher flow creates the suction needed for the injector. The pressure tips slow the flow to create pressure and you don't get enough suction to pull soap. Someone please correct me if I'm off base.
@@WillPiccianocorrect
God damn, Thank You ! All these other guys running their mouth, You did it perfectly! 💪💪
how do you handle the overflow bypass valve water output when you let off the gun? on my predator the unloader bypass valve sprays water everywhere when I let off the gun. yours doesn't seem to?
That’s weird it shouldn’t do that immediately
@@jmventurelog At the 0:27 mark in this video, between the black adjustment handle on the pump and the attached down stream injector, there's a little brass barb poking up. Mine came with a clear hose attached to it. Anyway, when I let off my gun, water shoots out of that brass barb. Should I attach it to a buffer tank or am I doing something wrong?
Do you have to change the pressure on the machine?
Suck that stuff at 12% man no water lol you know that now tho😊
How do you like that predator? Saw harbor freight sells it
Great machine
@@jmventurelog how long you had it? the wives ever comment on it?
@@weekendhomeprojects We used em for about 2 seasons theyre beasts and the wives love em hahah
