Im kinda new to the industry, I have a 4gpm 4000psi machine and im having issues with reaching the 2nd floor, tired using the pink/green/red tip and doesnt give me proper coverage and just ends up misting everything a little after a floor and a half. Also my Black tip kinda trickles (showers) instead of actually spraying and having a spray angle. Turbo/green/yellow and all other tips work fine though and pretty decent. Does the washer gun have any effect on the distance the water shoot out of the machine or what is my issue here, all tips are clean too by the way.
@MuscleMyHustle sorry forgot to mentioned im in the Philippines, dont have access to those tips and unfortunately our tax hes is dumb so if I order from amazon it will probably just me an arm and a leg and will get ripped off at one point. Only have 1 relative in the US and hes in California but apparently J-rods are illegal to use or purchase in CA as per Pressure tek so I have no idea what to do now lol
I saw videos on the pink tips and they reach way higher than mine and thats with 2.5/3gpm machines so I was wondering why mine wasnt, also why my black tip doesnt fan out properly. Just thought I might be doesnt something wrong, all my orifices are 4 so not sure if switching to a smaller orfice might help out
You won’t get ripped off, a shooter tip will last you for many years. It’s just a straight piece of 6 inch pipe to straighten the stream out. The coloured tips you get with your pressure washer when you buy them are rubbish. You only need 3 tips including the shooter tips if your washing houses.
I mean ripped off by customs with the tax, I once ordered glass containers worth $4 each and when it arrived here they wanted me to pay $14 each for them at it was like 50 containers so I just left it with them and considered it as money lost loss, just worried about how much they take me when it arrived at customs
Black soap tips come in different degree patterns. You may have a 25. A 40 or 65 will give you a wider pattern. You are using #4 orifice nozzles, giving you full psi of your machine. You rarely, if ever need that much pressure. Size 6-10 will be better for most applications. You will get a straighter stream with less mist with a zero degree nozzle with a larger orifice. You can find colored nozzles cheap on eBay if you have access.
@Dantag that makes sense thank you so much yeah I think i might be able to to find bigger orifice colored tips would be easier than the Jrod with we have 0 of them here lol, worst comes to worst I can drill a hole like you guys suggested im sure I can find a lot of size 4 nozzles here and can easily get them so I can also mess it up and test with it thank you so much everyone!
