Ok, I'm having trouble downstreaming with my 8gpm @ 3,500psi pressure washer. I guess for downstreaming, the fewer gpm's, the better? If I'm thinking right, with 8gpm machine vs a 5gpm machine, my chemical is diluted more correct? I've tested my machine with the black tip, my foamer, and various other low pressure tips and the fastest rate I can get is 1 quart of 12% bleach in 45 seconds. So that's only 1 quart to every 6 gallons of water passing through my hose. That is obviously too weak to clean a house. I need more like 1 gallon bleach to every 5 gallons water. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can make my downstream work? I just ordered a X-Jet M-5 #13.5 yesterday, should be delivered tomorrow. That's the only thing I can think of that will work for me right now, and hopefully it works like they say. I believe with it, I can achieve a 2.4:1 ratio @ 8gpm according to a chart I looked at. I would still like to downstream if possible so I don't have to carry around that heavy bucket everywhere I go. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
