Downstreaming - how do you start and stop your mix?

I just started a 37 home community project. I’m on track to hit 22k in revenue for May. I currently use the X-jet for house washing. Was just reaching out for input.

I do this part-time.

I don’t think making that last statement helped you at all. I truly hope no one ever answers a question for you again. People were giving you legit answers and you still think you’re right. 22k is cool but guys on here are doing 5 times that per month. Sounds like you got everything figured out though, good luck

I was responding to one person who said I should stop doing what I am doing because I said I don’t like to run my machine without the trigger pulled or the wand off the hose.

That’s probably the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. Like I said, you have it all figured out. Don’t listen to any of us

Sorry I hit a nerve man. How would you react to someone saying “stop your business until you buy legit equipment”?

I’m that one person. What you are doing is stupid and should be called out as such. Other contractors come here wanting to learn. If they see a statement like yours they may actually think it is sound advice. The whole point of this forum is to weed out bad advice and give good advice. If you are making 22k, think how much you could make if you were doing this career correctly.

What bad advice? I haven’t given any advice, I was asking for it. And what is stupid?

Nevermind. You have it under control. Carry on

Cool cool cool, thanks everyone who responded and added to the discussion! Sorry things devolved into this!

If I was on track for a $20k+ month, I’d be upgrading my machine and putting it on a credit card. Seriously.

Yeah we are putting together an air diaphragm set up.

So you have a direct drive machine and you don’t bypass in a buffer tank and you really think internally bypassing will cook your seals in 20-30 seconds???

4200/4 off a buffer that puts out 5.5 gpm . Pump has a thermal release but no bypass.

I just saw one of your posts had to get edited for you because of your use of profanity towards a member. I’ll have to rember your name

Can you not bypass it?

Until I put on the mask…

Not with how the machine came… there is no mention of it in the manual.

Well just because there is no mention of it in the manual doesn’t mean its not possible. Have any pics of your machine?

What machine are you running? On my 8gpm I’m using an 0060 to soap and rinse (unless I’m cleaning the underneath side of a covered porch or something…then I’m using the 2560.
