Yep, my understnding is 119 gal… that’s why pretty much every skid comes with a 100 gal tank.
It’s probably just the one I got ahold of. Downsreaming didn’t touch it - 4gpm with undersized injector. I get great results downstreaming brick all the time but not this stuff. I’m glad it’s not more common around here.

I appreciate it kind sir! It’s far from my first rodeo. This one is pretty nasty. The photo doesn’t even do justice but I’ll get it shined up.

Really appreciate all of the advice, Im aware of belt driven machines! Just wasn’t in the budget right now! Im sure I will obtain one in the future.

Downstreamed it. I just refreshed my SH supply so I have the hot stuff to thank. 4gpm direct drive with a 1.8 injector, 6 applications, 15 minute Mountain Dew break, 4 more applications & a whole lotta rinsing…

Have you tried foaming? Might be faster and less applications
I know it saves me time and applications.
I have not. I’m all ears though! I’ve considered an X jet but everything is a trade off. I think the time saved from setting up the 12v & rolling up 100 sections of Kuri Tec hose (by hand haha) was roughly a break even on this one. Much easier (& more abundant) to stick to the low hanging fruit.
Looks great!

Thank you! Means a lot coming from you. The weather was on my side. 80 degrees with an overcast is hard to beat.

Foamers create air bubbles on the surface of the siding. Every air pocket is a place where chems are not touching. It takes a lot more product and a lot more rinsing. I tried a Lafferty foam nozzle but it added time to the job and people complained about the foam along the foundation of the buildings. It cool to wash your car with though
extrange, when i use it i spray from bottom to top, and havent experience that.
works good on stucco and windows
Did you try the airless one or the one that requires an air compressor?
Airless. My guys know no it’s a firing offence to soap from bottom up
I’ll try from the top down one of these days…when i feel rebellious…
Fired!!! Clean out your desk & get the heck outta here… and tuck in your shirt.
