Nice answer guys. This is the newbie forum, not the ‘do a search’ section.

Call Russ at Southside Equipment or Bob at Pressuretek. Tell them what machine you have and they’ll hook you up.

You can buy full J rod kits from Pressure Tek or if you already have the jrod you can copy the nozzles for you GPM unit.

Also here is a nozzle chart to check out Nozzle Chart

Exactly… that’s why chris and jordie made these new categories so newbs can come in here and get an understanding on things they CANT understand just yet searching on their own. (Clearly)

BINGO … go on pressuretek.com and order a 5.5 gpm jrod kit. Itll run you like 30 or 40 bucks or some like that. Good luck and reach out to some of us if you get confused. I’m in my first season for house washing but at least I got a season under my belt. and I’d be glad to share any knowledge I’ve acquired from this forum; with you, if you need it bud. Dont get discouraged by people who break your chops, you’ll get answers from some pretty cool guys on here !

Same thing. SH weight about 10lbs per gallon. But DOT does everything by weight.

Also i believe they don’t care how much you actually carry but just the size of the tank.
