X-jet Question

Just received my first x-Jet yesterday and was wondering what the threads were for at the end of the nozzle? Will be useing it for mainly houses and didnt think I needed any extras.

Any ideas??

Thanks

<b><font color=green>It sounds tho you have a part missing,its called a barrel.Thats what they told me it was called after I shot my first barrel into the woods and killed bigfoot.Callem and tellem you have a part missing....... they told me I didn't really need it but it does help,now I keep it on tight with lock stuff.</b></f>

Hello

I think that is for a low pressure nozzle you can screw on. That is an extra (add on) and cost more. I would send the thing back. All you need is a 12v and a long light wand with a zero tip to spray the chemical high and a zero tip on you pressure wash gun to rinse.

However I would love to hear from users that actually find good use of it. I got mine for free and still can't find a use. Also when I did try it, it blew a 5 gallon jug of chemical in 2 seconds. My favorite part is the 5 ft chemical hose. What a pain. Wait there's more. Never could get it to dilute right. For almost 200 at the time. I think it's a ripe off. I really would like for someone to tell me how to put it to use. I just hate to see a free Beeee site in the tackle box.

I purchased my first x-jet a couple of months ago. Nope it did not come with the barrel attachment. My question is, if you have a 36" barrel attachment, will it shoot the chems only 3 more ft? Maybe if the inside diameter were smaller.. Anyway, I use the 50:1 proportioner and can reach the eves and the A frame of a two story home ok. As far as the chem usage. One 5 gal bucket will do about a 3000 sq ft home. I guess the quality of chems you use would dictate how long the 5 gals would last. Good quality takes less to do a good job.

Now on the barrel, if it shoots substantially further than the length of the barrel, I want one too! I would love to have the ability to stand a little further away from the home if needed.

Good luck,
Roy

Like the distance it shoots but dont like the amount of soap it uses. the cost was steep and i still might buy a ext wand but hate to let it go to wast and not find a use for it. thanks for the replys. Tom

I love my x-jet. Would'nt do a house wash job without it. 3 bedroom single story house [plastic sideing] with black streaks all over the gutters.
I use the x-jet with a 3 to 1 insert-apply gutter zap with x-jet[25 feet at a time] turn off chem, then rinse with x jet[they come out perfect]
2 enclosed 5 gal buckets[each with 2 gal bleach-1 cup dawn-H2O]
put a bucket of chem on oppisite corners of the house
water down all plant life make sure all windows are shut[including basement ones]
apply to 2 sides hook up to down streem chem with a CASCADE-H20 MIX for the rinse
do same to the other 2 sides then change the downstream to a nice WAX and go over the whole house. Next put on a 40 deg. tip and clean the front steps and walk. Go around the house 1 more time to water all the plants and grass.
gutter zap $15 -house wash mix $12-wax $3=$30 charge $150 time from getting there to getting check 1 hour 15 min 2 story house add $50+ 20 min.
by the way leave yourself extra time because they will want to know how much more it will cost to do the back steps and patio
Because everyone shares here ill give you one of my favorite tips On that last walk around to water the plants use your garden hose. Why? because i use a in line fertilizer[miricle grow]
When the other guys plants are wilted mine are growing better then when i got there
One more thing about building a customer base. I allways include a cupon for 10% off there NEXT wash job if they TELL A FRIEND and i get the job.

when i bought my x-jet they sent me the "barrel" end or the best word to use here is a nozzel...... it works for up close work such as a truck...........you can add any screw in nozzel

but it was a waste of $ Dan said it right when he said about the soap and that hose you got to drag around.....

a word of caution about this.. if you are not really carefull you can do some damage to the siding .....b/c you are trying to reach an high area and when you go down to reach a lower area you got that hard stream like its an zero nozzel....

i sure wish i would of invented this there is alot of us who has it ..
even if it's on the self in the garage......

use a DOWNSTREAM or a shur-flo you get a better result >>
