    I liked your video. you had a lot of excellent information. Being a small businessman trying to get started in the pressure-washing game I appreciate you taking the time to pass on what you've learned so far. I particularly liked the way you plumbed the SH tank with the batch mix tank.... genius.

    I love those ties. I use them for everything too. Especially for tying down the trigger on my surface cleaner! It really gives your hand muscles time to relax a bit. I also have the 5x8 trailer. It is a lot more nimble and with good design planning, works well.

Can't remember the last time I've used the lance that came with the machine. I won't get rid of it though. As soon as a I did, I'd need it for something.

    Great setup. Very similar to mine. I noticed you talking about hand fatigue with the trigger pull. We use a self sticking velcro strap. Pull the trigger back, wrap the trigger to the handle. Then you can slide the velcro ring up and down easily and its the perfect "auto trigger". I pull the trigger maybe 5 times per job. No joke. I have one on all of my guns. Whole roll like $10.

    Hi,
    Are you going to get a 6 x 10 enclosed trailer or open trailer?
    On your 24 inch surface cleaner is it a 3 or 2 tip bar spinner? What size nozzle tips do you have on the surface cleaner when running your 4000 psi @ 4.0 gpm pressure washer?
    I do like the square tanks.

    • @doitallgaragetx
      @doitallgaragetx  4 роки тому

      I'm going with an open trailer. Enclosed trailers are nice but expensive. Also, I'm 6'1". Any enclosed trailer thats tall enough for me to stand up inside won't fit in my garage at home. I don't want to pay storage fees.
      My surface cleaner has 2 bars with one nozzle on each bar. The tips are 25020. The surface cleaner is really too big for my p.washer, but my uncle gave it to me for free, so I make it work. I plan to get an 8gpm hot water machine in the future.

      @doitallgaragetx  3 роки тому +1

      @@skillz1179 ok. That's how I started, too. So a basic housewash mix is about 1 to 1.5% strength. If you are using 10% strength sh, then you would add 1 gallon of sh to every 9 gallons of water. You can mix it stronger if needed. Also add a few ounces of surfactant.
      Just keep in mind that for every 100 gallons of batch mix you make, 10 gallons of it needs to be sh. When you start using 12.5%, you use even less sh. Keep in mind that some algae will require a much stronger mix.

    Are you not down streaming at all? Or do you apply all your chemical with your titan reel? I’m wondering because I just returned a Cox reel I was going use as my 3/8 reel. But without a stainless manifold I’d be screwed right? I’m trying to find two of the same titans you have.

    • @doitallgaragetx
      @doitallgaragetx  3 роки тому

      At the time the video was made, I hadn't ever downstreamed. I wouldn't recommend using a hose reel for pressure. I ds frequently now and I just pull off what hose I need and connect it straight to the pw. Having hose rolled up on your reel then pressurizing it can damage both the Jose's and the reel. Most titans are on a long back order right now. I'd look into hannay. I think sprayer depot carries them. Also try washmart.com.

      The environmental protection agency is mostly in charge of that. Technically, if you clean areas like gas stations, yes you're supposed to reclaim the water because it has gas and oil in it. But I have never seen anyone actually reclaiming unless they are inside of a warehouse where there are no drains in the floors.
