    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!

    Chemical Dilution Ratio

    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'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]

    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

    Hot vs Cold units

    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...
