I was reading today the pressure washing industry is dead

G’day Mate,

If I did offend you or anyone else in my earlier post… then please accept my apologies.

I really enjoy this forum as you are all a great bunch of guys with a wealth of knowledge which I understand takes years of experience to acquire.

I will keep reading and learning and maybe hold back on some posts if I feel I do not have the necessary knowledge or experience. I want to earn the respect of you PW veterans as I greatly respect you all.

Thanks for your feedback… much appreciated!

My m5 twist nozzle produces 500 psi. The tip for 1500 psi is much smaller. I’m basically running the equivalent of a garden hose on shower mode with really good water pressure and 8gpm. Sometimes I will rinse with a #20 tip which for my machine equates to about 1000 psi if I want more pressure to remove stubborn things on some surfaces.

They fabricate some quality units about what ide expect from Oceania, the Americans would be filthy at the lack of IBC totes and PVC plumbing lol

No worries Jet, so tragic your brother passing.
I only have one sibling my younger brother and I couldn’t imagine the loss.

That system is going to make you a ton of cash
There is so much good will and wealth of knowledge on this forum it just takes a fair bit of reading.

Thanks Aussie for your condolences. It was really tough losing my only brother at age 52. He was so fit and was taken from us far too soon. Bless his soul RIP Bro!

This sounds like “downstreaming at 1500psi is softwashing”?

Softwashing is what latte sipping characters do so as not to damage their sensitive skin

I wouldn’t know about that.
I drink black coffee.
“… blackity black, black. Filled with blackness. Devoid of all light. Think of the blackest thing you can imagine and double that blackness and take a black magic marker and fill in the gaps and put that into a black rocket ship and shoot that into the depths of black space and close your eyes and use that as a reference.”

Why do you think weep holes are placed at the bottom of vinyl, and how the heck do you get the chems off of the house with a soft wash system? I’m eager to learn, young teacher, but based on the snarky response to one of the best who ever did it (yes, I occasionally prefer a different practice on specific cleaning applications than @Innocentbystander ) you need to sit your bottom back in the student’s seat and shut the heck up. Just my opinion, sorry if I stepped on your toes.

This comment is months old! Lol

Dang it, I just noticed that. I always get trigger happy when somebody gets slick with one of my mentors.

When you are as old as us, what’s a few months?

If their is dirt, water, and sun, their will always be demand for PW. Honestly, idk how the word “Soft Washing” came to be unless @Innocentbystander is right about it being made from chemical vendor companies to advertise to us.

If the words “Pressure Washing” scares people, what other word(s) can we use to brand ourselves?

Professional exterior cleaning service

That works well
