What a nut
Itās a low pressure setup, only pushing 150psi.
So the shorter the wand the more distance???
No. But 6 inches is all that is needed to straighten the stream. You will basically get the same distance with 6 inches ad you will with a 3 foot wand. A longer wand doesnāt make the stream longer, just extends the distance before the water leaves the nozzle
I see, lets say your cleaning a 3 story home what would you use to apply the soap then rinseā¦ im trying to stay off ladders
A six inch wand and, for me, an 0050 nozzle. I donāt know what size machine you have
I use a 0040 on a 24ā wand w a 4gpm right now and it works fine.
Iām going to throw my newbie question in here: I have a Landa PGHW 5-5000 if I order a downstream jrod nozzle kit what kind of psi can I expect or how do I tame that down to a workable psi for house washing?
Thereās nozzle charts about 100 different places on the forum. Just find the size for your machine and order them to match the psi you want. Iāve found 2500 is more than sufficient for most things and much more 3000 can be dangerous if you or your guys start day dreaming.
I have a handle on the nozzle charts, I guess my question was in regaurds to the kit they sell. Am I better off buying the jrod holder and the tips separate instead of the kit?
Iād buy or make the holder and put in tips that you want.
My bad. I didnāt know they came any other way than make them yourself.
Or call Bob, he sells the kits with nozzles appropriate for your machine. Sure most the distributors do. But Iād do like IBS suggested and just make up your own or just get a M5ds nozzle
I was going to get both just to have them and see what I like. I do like the idea of the m5. Thereās a lot of different options. I feel like a kid in a candy store, I just want them all haha.
@Racer How is that M5 holding up for you? Bob told me that they tend to stiffen up and become a real hassle in a short time. Of course, heās the only one Iāve talked to about it, so Iād like to get your opinion. Also, what kind of reach are you getting with it out of your 8 GPM machine?
Not to beat a dead horse but as I experiment the wand and jrod seem to let me hit some great heights. That telescopic thing is scary.
I just used my telescopic wand today. I will be returning it.
Awww no kidding ? Didnāt like it huh ? I bought one just in case a situation presents itself. Ya know for the āneed it, and not have itā senseā¦ but I just keep hearing bad things lol.
I use mine for gutters and thatās itā¦ I wouldnāt dare attach a regular nozzle to mine at 8gpm it would be in the next county before it stopped!
