Using a JROD to Control Downstream Soap?

Been there done that, no thanks, right. This system works out great, couldn’t work without it.

No, no. It’s definitely bad advice amigo. Drop your ego and realize that you just instructed a newbie that he can wash houses with high pressure.

No. My setup is extremely simple and probably what the majority of people here run. You just give out bad advice. Stop doing that.

My box went down and it took me a few days to get it fixed up. Worst week of my life lol

“Bad advice” is just a method you don’t prefer. Read some jrod and quad rod threads on here and see the tips people buy. The majority that don’t want to walk back to a truck to turn things or pull a stick, or have a remote soap cutoff use a high rinse and low rinse tip (high pressure) to cut the soap.

It’s not an ego. You just don’t prefer other methods that work and are a industry standard that have 0 negative effect if you use it properly

Uh, obviously.

Exactly. And the person you suggested that to is someone who likely does not know better. You’re coming around.

Ok guys i think I got it. Apply with soap tip 10ft away then rinse with zero degree 1 ft away…

Just kidding. I’m going to buy a gun with no lance, throw a QC on it and directly connect jrod from pressuretek made for my 8gpm and use the low soap and low rinse for my 1 stories and the high soap and high rinse for anything higher by using my drop in tube and DS injector. When I want to rinse I’ll put the drop tube into a second 5 gal bucket of fresh water. Sound good?

I’ll let you rant on. But it’s not bad advice. I’m sure he’s an adult and can learn that high pressure direct on siding inches away isn’t used in today’s washes like it seems your implying that that’s what my advice meant ALTHOUGH it was the standard a couple decades back to use high pressure to clean homes and softwashing was never a thing. But I’ll let you prefer one method and call all others bad advice if it helps your ego. I’m moving to a schertz box anyways but high rinse low rinse nozzles to turn off soap aren’t bad advice.

You are so wrong it is laughable. The “high” and “low” has absolutely NOTHING to do with the pressure. They designate how HIGH or LOW the tip should be used when rinsing.

Example: Rinsing a second story wall use the HIGH RINSE tip. Meaning it reaches HIGHER. It is a narrower fan pattern and therefore goes HIGHER. IT IS NOT HIGH PRESSURE. IT JUST REACHES HIGHER.

Rinsing a first story wall use the LOW RINSE tip. It is a wider fan pattern and should be used when rinsing areas LOWER to the ground.

Yes, it is. And it’s clear now that you are so confused and confounded that you probably will have a eureka moment and realize how ignorant everything you just said really is. No apologies needed when you do have that moment. I’ve been wrong before–plenty.

So what’s the difference between the advertised high soap and high rinse nozzles and why do they have different orifices in them.

See the people who liked this post and the advice in it. Just because it isn’t how you do it doesn’t mean it’s wrong . Plenty more threads like this

They don’t. Point blank. Soap tips are the exact same tips that are used for rinsing. Every one of my “soap” tips are also used for rinsing. They are all LOW PRESSURE and therefore WILL PULL SOAP. You have to remove the soap from the equation by either switching to a rinse bucket or using a remote valve or whatever you like.

I’m going to say this one last time…high pressure tips should never be used to wash houses. If it produces enough pressure to not draw soap then it is too high pressure for house washing.

You’re killing me, smalls.

God, I hope you’re joking. Go back and re-read#1. Slowly this time.

You literally just linked a thread that proves that you are wrong. Are you satisfied yet?

water at the end of the nozzle vs when it goes through the air and lands on something have two different pressures. Just because the tip produces 2000 psi doesn’t mean it will be 2000 psi when it lands on what I’m cleaning.

That’s a straw man argument and has absolutely zilch to do with the ignorance of your initial statement.

So if I handed you a wand with a tip that produced 5,000 psi you would be okay with rinsing a house with it as long as you stood back far enough?

Are you even stopping to think about the stuff you’re saying?

There is 1 person in the whole thread who says to not use a high pressure tip to stop soap and that’s grump. Really. You say that 1 persons opinion out of all those is why I’m wrong? … lord.

5,000 psi? Now your being outrageous. That’s worse than using a red tip.

By “high pressure” nozzle, I’m talking the largest orifice that is small enough to build up just enough back pressure to stop the injector from pulling soap…

Just drop it. Thread derailed.

You seem to believe that someone liking a post means that they agree with everything in the post. Not the case. I can go and like your ignorant post but that doesn’t mean I agree with it.

2000 psi is outrageous to wash a house with but that’s the number you used for some odd reason.

And THAT would probably be A-OK but to suggest to a newbie to use a high pressure tip to stop soap is BAD ADVICE. You didn’t differentiate between high pressure or just enough pressure. You said high pressure. Which, again, is bad advice which is why I commented as such.
