What tips to order help

Hi Donte, What tips are you using for rinsing?

I have a 5.5 gpm 2500 psi and did a house yesterday with the standard jrod from Pressure Tek and both rinse nozzles kept pulling some soap no matter how long I waited.

Fortunately they were friends and had a business parking lot on site so I could just stand there and move the water flow and let it hit the blacktop and wait…

Ended up running back to the trailer between every soap and rinse… large property with 4 buildings… it was exhausting…lol.

Also my rinse tips didn’t reach the peaks of the historic house, could only rinse the highest peaks with my soaping nozzle… water just seemed to peter out and not really hit the 2nd story and it wasn’t windy when I was doing it.

appreciate your insight.

Jrod tips for 5.5 gpm:
2510 - fan rinse
0010 - stream rinse
0050 - stream soap
2550 - fan soap

Just rinse with your soap tips

They are the same thing @Sudz

I modified my xjet to lower pressure so I put a Lance in-between m5 nozzle and xjet orifice. I just a 1/4 plug and now I can put my m5 nozzle on when. I downstream too

if you look I just put a mtp quick connector plug on the m5 nozzle now i use for everything even when I’m not using xjet. To me they are so much better then jrods but thats me. Also they sell some knock off blue ones at Walmart and home Depot that have same concept that work good but definitely not as well as m5 nozzle

hmm using the 15’s… I will get some 10’s and see how that goes!

I am trying to avoid having to return to the trailer all the time, especially in a place like the one I was on Tuesday… would rather take that time to chill in the shade when the heat index is over 100… call me a baby…lol

Thanks, I am not really into carrying a bucket around, have my chems on the trailer and just want to travel with my hose and jrod… lazy I guess… ha

10’s should fix your problem.

Thanks

M5ds the ds stands for downstream so it’s pulling chem from your injector. The xjet has an injection hose on the unit, have to keep a bucket close by

If you remove the injector are the nozzles similar? The same? Thanks!

The “rinse tips” dont really benefit you at all. You cant shoot as high with them. It is too much pressure for vinyl. The only thing they do is stop pulling soap. I very rarely use them. If i do, its only to hit a stubborn spot on masonry below vinyl.

I use the rinse tips all the time. Just don’t use the 0010 too low on the siding. Especially if the siding is oxidized.

I am leaning towards this as well, do you just turn down your ds injector or do you pull out your tube?

Man. You’ve gotta get better injectors. They shouldn’t have knobs on them.

Get yourself a 3 way poly valve. Pull clean water from your buffer tank to rinse out the injector.

Just pull the line out of chem

If you have a k7 unloader air in the line will drive it nuts

This is a concern of mine. Not a huge one of course, but I would rather not have air mixed in.
