Informational purposes - Difference in direct stream between normal Xjet and modified Xjet.

I will say the stream has alot less misting

That really needs two ball valves and two downstream injectors connected to an xjet to it

Is this what people mean when referring to a foam cannon?

Laugh…I literally put a $1 pool noodle on 2 of our HP hoses because they were wearing a hole into the skid shelf where they hung over…to be fair, that was quickly replaced with rubber pipe insulation, lol

I rock a blue pool noodle on my whip line. Works great lol

A foam cannon of some sort it definitely is. Probably shouldn’t laugh but some guy on here had arthritis or something and that was his fix. I had coffee all over my dash when I first saw it, I was in disbelief. I hope he’s doing well and staying busy,

Nothing wrong with pool noodles. I was just shocked at the engineering. Lol

Nice! I’d still go all orange noodles with blue duct tape at the ends though…

Mine is a blue noodle with white duct tape on the ends. The trailer floor is white so it somewhat blends in

Is this your company logo?

So with a DS injector thats pulling at around 10:1 with 7.5% bleach from store. To figure out what SH % im at, would be 7.5/11 correct? which means that at best im able to pull .68% using downstream with the strongest bleach i can get locally if im putting straight bleach into DS bucket.

Now granted I have not done this in real life yet, but from all my research ive done There seems to be a consensus that 1% is about the gold standard for vinyl siding. Im either going to have to have it dwell longer and hope for the best or maybe hit with a second coat which means even more bleach.

Its 5-6 bucks a gallon for bleach here so the pricing of this is going to be insane especially using that lower SH stuff.

Im definitely going to need something else besides just DS to cover my bases and be able to mix hotter. And by hotter i mean just close to industry standards from the research ive been doing so a softwash system or xjet seems to be in my future no matter what if i want to cover all my bases. Does that sound correct to you guys?
