Looks like a x jet job ,down think downstreaming will be strong enough … any one else have any input how they would clean it…

I don’t downstream. Only water goes thru my pw. I use a 9.5gpm diaphragm pump so I can make any mix I want

If you downstream you are adding the chemical after the pump.

Yea I know. I meant that only water goes thru the hoses and guns. I started out with a 12v pump to spray chemicals and rinsed with a garden hose. Eventually I wanted to do surfaces and have a better rinse so I got a pw. I did try downstreaming but I could never get it to draw. I tried three different injectors, changed guns, different hose, different low pressure tips…I tried every variable I could think of but the injectors kept closing down to a pinhole and they wouldnt open back up. I was used to having a separate chemical delivery system anyway so I just stuck with that system. I would like to figure out the downstream issue so I have it as an option. I may play around with it more over the winter.

What % mix are you going to use??

50/50 to start. As long as I got good stick, it should take care of it. Might need a second pass.

Just jerking with you… by the way, to this day, I still only use a pump and chem hose to apply and a PW to rinse. Just works perfect an I get it right every time

That’s my preferred method as well. But I really want to get it down to a one hose job so I can have one guy on a truck. I need to get myself off a truck next year so I’m trying to dummy proof as much as I can.

Oh the food is awesome lol.

Test the awning but you should be fine. If the sun hasn’t bleached them SH won’t.

I’ve looked into getting on the Habitat For Humanity YP board here locally. I’d probably bid the job and work out the labor cost as a sponsorship for one of their events. You can deduct it then too.

NOT saying you should do that at all. But it is an option and charities always have boards and events where advertising space gets gobbled up quick.

See above. LOL
