Roy, I missed the part about "how much". My apologies if I came on as being accusatory. It wasnt intended as such. But that (insurance)is something I, and many others here, believe strongly in. Now to comment on your original question........."how much insurance to have/advertise for...

Let me put my $.02 worth in. I realize that this subject has been argued over and over, but when someone reposts it, I think it needs reiterating. It DOES make a difference to both HAVE insurance as well as advertise the fact. A home/business owner wants to KNOW and have the reassurance...

Mike, I live in the area commonly referred to as the "L.A." area of Florida (Lower Alabama). Live just outside Pensacola in NW Florida panhandle. Tim ------------------ Tim Srader X-Stream Kleen

Saw a "power wash/paint" company washing a chain gas station fuel pads w/ COLD WATER and approx 18" - 20" Whisper Wash as well as restriping the parking spaces. Does anyone offer this as a side service after cleaning? What kind of pricing factors are used? It would seem relatively quick...

When I clean roofs, I use straight chlorine. You have to be extremely careful NOT to have any runoff so metal gutters, landscaping, etc dont get damaged. Therefore, I do not use any water to rinse. Just spray chlorine on to the point of saturation (without runoff) then let it sit. It will...

Bill, thanks for the info. I'll check it tomorrow. Wiz, the inline fuse is still intact so I'll now check the burner swotch. Thanks ------------------ Tim Srader X-Stream Kleen

Hey Wiz. Have a Becket 12v burner on Tuff 5.6gpm/ 3000psi skid. While working, hot water stopped. Called manufacturer about problem, and with their help, found two wires in junction box behind panel that had melted against a contact. I pulled them off contact, checked the inline fuse which...

I have been asked for bid on cleaning, staining, and sealing approx 4000+ sq ft of concrete (homeowner's driveway and sidewalk). I have given a bid on on cleaning already, but this will be first time to stain as well as seal. Since this is a job that I don't do too often, I plan to bid it as a...

Would having a flow unloader relieve the starting and pressure build up since it's not provided until after the trigger is pulled? Had EZ start system on my Tuff Skid but upgraded to flow unloaderfrom factory and just plugged it when I received it. At least that's what the factory rep advised...

Hey Wiz, Called distributor for help. The setup explanation is this: The hi pressure guage was coming out of pump above the H20 inlet on a "T". Coming off the "T" was a low pressure line feeding back into inlet filter (opposite the low pressure bypass line). Was advised that this was an...

I have a 16' open trailer w/ Tuff skid. Bought the largest grill cover (63" x 25" x 43") and works sorta ok. Purchased grommet kit and added eyelets to bungee to trailer. Blows when driving but stays over machine. Probably wont last as well as a heavy-duty custom tarp, but will due in the...

Hey Wiz, Have run water thru machine completely before starting (it came winterized) so had to flush system. Ran fine while flushing out. Then hooked up dual lance w/ downstream injector to hi pressure hoses, then lost pressure. Took off filter - cleaned. Checked input volume - ok. Tip I was...

Have brand new Tuff 3000 psi 5 gpm hot / cold skid. Has 1 hr on it (from factory test). H2O input is 3/4" hose w/ approx 5 gal every 45 sec entering pump. Unloader is K7 flow activated unloader. Turned H2O on to wash for 1st time, had pessure for about 15-20 sec, then lost all pressure. PSI...

I have a possible lead to wash a major soft drink suppliers delivery trucks on a weekly basis (total 102 trucks + various OTR's that come in as well). Have seen the marketing posts about residential / commercial, but thot this might require a little different approach. What has been successful...

Johny, I have run into this problem before. I too used plastic sheeting to cover the mulch, but this is lighter than the mulch in most cases and blew around as well. I ended up cutting a piece of 1/4" plywood 12" wide x 4' long and throw that up against the foundation. This is usually wide...
