Hey everyone... I'm looking for a chemical injector that runs at 20:1. I've looked all over the web but I'm not having much luck. Does anyone know where I can find one? My machine runs at 3700 PSI 4.0 GPM. Thanks!

This may sound like a dumb question, but how do you find out what your dilution rate is on the machine? It's not listed in any of the paperwork that came with it, and I looked online FOREVER and all I find is that most are like 12:1 to 18:1. The one I'm trying to find it on is the Troy-Bilt...

I'd like to know if anyone uses any kind of damage waiver when doing residential jobs. Basically something where you would list any pre-existing damage to gutters, siding, etc to cover your butt. If so, would you share examples of the form you use? Thanks!

Can anyone in NY please let me know about how much you are paying for liability insurance, how much coverage you have, and who you go through? I've gotten some quotes recently that are astronomical. I know it is higher in NY but this is ridiculous. I'm only doing this part time for now and I...

I have teamed up with a local roofer recently. We haven't worked out all the details yet, but it will involve doing any power wash cleanup after his job is done. Has anyone done this type of work and know what I should use to wash away the adhesive that may get on the house? I guess when they...

I'm looking into getting an 18' Extendawand but I'm having trouble finding a distributor. From all the posts I've read, I really don't want to buy directly from this guy in Canada. Can someone either post or email me with a link to a distributor with good prices? Thanks! [wsmile]

Hey all.. Quick question for ya.. Right now I work with a mobile washer on a cart and use a 50' inlet hose and a 50' high pressure hose. How much could I add on without compromising my pressure in or out of the unit? It's not always convenient to change water sources or move the machine, so...

Does anyone know why I (or we) don't have access to member profiles? It would be helpful to be able to email questions and such directly to members.... Is this a privacy thing? -Kevin

Hey everyone.. I've been asking around and getting different answers, so I thought I'd try the board.. This is referring to a one-time job, not long-lasting contract: As far as contracts or agreements for residential home washing, do you use them, or is there really not a need? If so...

I did a bunch of research and found what looks like may be the bast bang for the buck, just to get started out. I'm looking at the Briggs & Strattion Model 1808. I'd love to get everyone's thoughts on this brand and even this model, should anyone know it specifically. Here's a link to it...

First off, I'd like to thank everyone for their help thus far. It's really appreciated! There are only a few suppliers in my area for pressure washing equipment, and I'd like to make sure I'm not overpaying. I know some of you are suppliers or have good relationships with some. Can you...

I bought the training videos from Cleaner Times and just watched them for the first time. In the beginning they basically say that cold water units are a bad idea and ineffective. Is that the general concensus out there? I will be starting the business in the spring and want to get the right...

Hey everyone... As I figure out my financials and business plan I had a question. Say I'm doing houses. If it rains, do I still wash or do I reschedule? Some people have told me washing is not good in the rain because of the electricity factor, and others have said the rain should not have an...

Hey since I'm new to this board, I thought I would offer my services up. If anyone needs any help with PC stuff (especially in the internet connectivity or database area) drop me a line and I'd me more than happy to help. I'm new to power washing, so I will be seeking a lot of help here, and I...

Hello everyone. Hopefully this site will be a valuable resource for my new business! I am just getting started and could use some help in the training department. I have not bought any equipment yet, but plan to soon. The focus of my business (at least from the start) will be houses and fleets...
