    Great real world video! My last day at my “job” is tomorrow. Truck paid for, all equipment paid for. 5.5 gpm belt drive PW. Getting affordable signs on truck Monday. Hopefully I’ll be ready to rock and roll by Wednesday. I already have about $2000 of work lined up.

    The hose going from your water hose reel to the tank . I installed a inline 40 mesh before the water storage tank I noticed well water customers could put dirt in the tank . I also have a inline filter before the pressure washer leaving the water storage tank . I've noticed my water is cleaner for sure in and out the tanks

    Hey Tristan you’re the goat, man! Do you recommend using the Dow streamer built into the machine or is it better to buy an injector so the solution isn’t as watered down? I don’t have a lot of money to get started so I was thinking of using the one on the pressure washer for siding and then just using a pump sprayer for concrete.

    One thing I am confused by....You have a water tank on the trailer...are you pulling from the tank through the pump? I thought the pump needed pressure from the hose to work properly! I understand the downstreaming chemicals but the water is confusing to me.

    For oil / grease stained driveways, dumster pads, fast food drive through, service stations use 8-10 Parts of Super Clean to one part Instant Power Heavy Duty Drain Opener (has both NaOH and KOH) - x-jet it (64 oz to 5 gallons). If you want to save $$ buy bulk then mix 9 parts NaOH (sodium hydroxide) to 1 part KOH (potassium hydroxide). Add 3-6 of the mixture cups to 5 gallons of either water or Super Clean. KOH is 3X the cost of NaOH. Using a product which contains 90% NaOH & 10% KOH is like getting the best of both, you will be get a lower in price product with a better exothermic reaction than with Potassium Hydroxide alone, but you will have a faster penetration and better rinsing product than if it just had Sodium Hydroxide.

    I heard that running water through the hose reel restricts flow to your tank by the inside diameter of hose reel connection points. Also it reduces the life of your hoses because they will still expand while on the hose reel when water goes through it. “The fresh rinse" on UA-cam has a video called never run through hose reels or something like that. Can you check it out and give us your thoughts?

    • @Tristan.Kalina
      @Tristan.Kalina  Місяць тому

      Garden hose connects to pressure washer so it makes sure it gets water.
      Without the garden hose it wont get water.
