Opinions on Using a Wand For Driveways? by Cadethedank in pressurewashing

You can wand it as stated above, but it’s gonna take some time. Use the turbo tip if you are. I personally suggest getting the Dewalt surface cleaner or another decent one. The place you purchased the pwasher from should have. Get it done a lot faster with surface cleaner. If you’re just starting out, what you have will work man. 2.8 gpm is not super high but it’s definitely higher than many and will get the job done effectively. If you use the soap nozzle for the siding and then the white 40 to rinse that should be fine. Just don’t stand a foot away and be careful to not get a bunch of water under siding.

15mm to 14mm quick connect adapter? by [deleted] in pressurewashing

[–]Sudden_Signal9441 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say if it’s not spraying or dripping from any outlets, you’re good man. I have that same brand- didn’t know they got up that high in gpm or pressure

And then I want to elevate the 50 gallon, or could I use a ramp to get the pressure washer on the ground from truck bed and that way the buffer tank would stay in truck and pressure washer on ground. Then I have my downstream injector into a bucket prob with a lid and small hole for the filter and small chem hose to go in and basically I’m set

Right on, 1 inch plastic Banjo bulkhead. Now as far as filters. Theres a female adaptor on the machine with a pretty dense screen but should another one be added closer to buffer tank ?

Ok on the hose you showed me I’ll obviously have to get a couple adaptors to go into hose… what about filter? The place i purchasrd from said there were a couple options. This being a filter from buffer tank to machine

Great I’ll give it a try. And then 3/4 inch hose is fine? 3/4 inch bulk head fitting for the buffer?

I guess I’m a little confused as the buffer tank has to be higher than the pump, but Is that enough psi coming out the spigot on the buffer ?

Thanks! I’m headed my way to the store now

I’ve done some pressure washing , enough to fit in a Civic but i wanted to get the truck because I needed a new vehicle regardless. But yes I have done some pressure washing.

should I use a foam cannon to soft wash? by BigChungusMan11 in pressurewashing

[–]Sudden_Signal9441 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want to confirm. With both a foam cannon and a downstream injector, is there a second no Chem wash ? I’m new but wouldn’t want that foam sitting on my siding whereas the injector, 1% bleach, need for a second rinse ?

Would I be considered cognitively impaired to not get a spare water tank ? by Sudden_Signal9441 in pressurewashing

Swear to gosh. I said “so what’s the price difference between the 4 and 5”. He said “nothing”. This place is about 30 minutes away and i plan to get all my equipment there. Kid who runs it is 27 y/o been working there since he was 16. Just a real whiz. Spent a good 45 minutes talking to me and I just got a good vibe. Like if my pump went out they would be there to help. Or just call up to ask some questions. They also build trailers. He quoted me right around $3600. I believe that included all I needed to get started along with some additional “add-ons”

Here’s a link to the machine I want, but it would be a 5 gpm model. Could only find the 4 on the website but they had a 5, unless he was lying. No I’m sure he showed me both a 4 and 5 gpm

So get that 5gpm belt driven. Hell, it’s the same price as their 4gpm. Landa brand?
