So, this is something I for some reason have struggled to figure out even after researching quite a bit here and on Youtube. I cant figure out how i’m going to spray my chemicals, As the SH I have is 10.5 percent and my pressure washer dilutes it 10 water to 1 chemical, so Im getting about 1 percent spraying onto the concrete which just isn’t strong enough for concrete. I have tried the little chemical sprayers on my driveway, but that takes absolutely forever. What is my best option here? Should I get an xjet? Or is there a better way to be doing this?
x jet or 12v pump
How exactly do the pumps work? Dont you have to buy a whole kit? If so do you mind linking me one that is good for starting out

If your just starting out and looking to cut costs, get an atv 12v sprayer on the cheap or get a pump sprayer. When you get a few jobs in, then buy a 12v system or whatever. I bought stuff when I started that I thought I would need and really haven’t used much.
The things I use the most other than PW, hose, and gun are : tape, pump sprayers, spring clamps, and sanders.
The thing I use the most that I didn’t buy are plastic bags from the grocery store. Every job, painting, staining, or slinging SH, I use a bunch. I have tons of them on my rig and in my garage. Can never have enough. What do I bag, lights, doorknobs, cameras, cats, dogs, birds etc. They all get a wrap of tape around them and I double bag just like when I was dating.

I threw together a portable, handheld 12v for about $100. Everything is contained in a plastic ammo box. It works for basic chem application, not meant for serious stuff like roofs.
What are you trying to accomplish? I wash concrete everyday and don’t pre or post treat with anything more than my DS injector.
