@dcbrock you pulling straight 12.5 sh?
Lil info from the bug washing fools… Any soap,SH,degreaser or alike will destroy the effects of any acids,Rendering it useless, so do not cross contaminate it in any fashion, Transfer pump,DS pickups, Same bucket,Drum etc. Acid in soap does not destroy the soap. It only takes a few ounces to ruin 350 gallons of acid at $5 a gallon, Just food for thought fellas.

Connect a 50 ft linear hose between injector and downstream from there…and order some elemonator the ph is better than gain
8.25%. That generally works real well, also my unit is a hot water, I apply soap at about 130 degrees then rinse with cold. This job has dirt dobbers galore. Mildew and regular dirt and grime my mix cleans. Any dirt dobber tricks to get the brown residue from there nest completely removed. There also I the high 2nd and 3rd story corners
No need to do that unless you’re running like 400-500ft of hose. Even then it is probably just easier to move your rig.
Try to find some 12.5% or even 10% pool shock. You’ll save time and money that way. You can get chlorine anywhere from Walmart to local hardware stores and pool stores. You also don’t need hot water to wash houses. I know they say “if it isn’t broke, don’t fix it” but it seems like you are taking some unnecessary steps to clean houses. I say try your best to find stronger SH, buy a proper surfactant and DS injector, ditch the heat and degreaser, and try to wash like that once and see the result.

Appreciate all the tips. Like I said 90% of the time my set up of 8.25% bleach whether DS’ed or X-jet with a little warm water cleans to a sparkle but this particular job has stumped me. I’m gonna go 10% leach with elemanator! I’ll post results

Thank you sir @MuscleMyHustle
10% bleach that is
Listen to @anon37135677 and just get %12.5, find a local source. Pool shops usually have it. I get mine from a cleaning supply company, Swish.

What size jugs and how much do you pay there @DantheWindowMan?
Don’t worry about it too much. If you have a really bad one, just make your mix a little strongers. Try 3 gal of SH and 1 of water. I washed some pretty dirty homes back in the day with 8% Dollar General bleach. But you will like downstreaming a lot better.

Yep, it’s quite diluted through 200’ of hose.
5 gallons for $14

That’s not bad at all. I pay a buck less but they aren’t always convenient. Open 9-5 and closed Sundays… I’m not sure how they do it since most people are working during those hours
