Just want to start out be saying that I really do like the equipment I purchased.....when it is working. I have been having troubles with the propane electronic circuit and flow switch since June 2005 and just figured out the problem 2 weeks ago. This company only has 2 people who are...

I have been using Ready Seal and really like it but can buy and use Cuprinal and lot cheaper. Does anyone have experience with both products? I am not sure the Cuprinol is penetrating nearly as far as the Ready Seal however the looks are pretty good. Just not sure of how long the product will...

Hey guys I am trying to build a float tank for cleaning filters back at my shop, does anyone have any good ideas so I can build a good one the first time? Not sure of the size needed (may vary), the typ of metal, how to circulate the water, etc..... Any advise will be greatly appreciated...

Still learning myself, but I am willing to help too! I agree with most of the guys, be very cautious because you may lose all the services. It is a difficult task, but not impossible. I am willing to help you anyway I can, either by phone or email. I have only been in the hood business for a...

I am currently servicing three Mexican restaurants and after the first visits I realized that the grease was muck different than that of other restaurants. Does anyone know of a good chemical to cut the mexican grease or a new method to try? I have been using hot water and a concrete spinner...

Great information guys. We lost the McDonalds account to another bidder, but was really not too worried about it. After we properly scraped all the systems to bare metal and got things back in shape we lost the contract. Just a note to see what you guys think about this, but the guys bid...

Hey guys After reading the post I have concluded that you are using Sodium Hydroxide mixed 5 gallons to 2 lbs. of bead and cleaning hoods with this? Am I correct? I am about a three year veteran trying to reduce cost now after learning about cleaning hoods. I have yet to find a good...

I appreciate those who gave me advice regarding the hood estimate I was working on. We completed the job in two hours over what we estimated it would take. I think we can shave two hours off the next service. The duct work had not been cleaned for 10 years so you can imagine the build-up...

I recently contacted a fire equipment company in my area to see who is doing most of the hoods. They said people call all the time so I gave them some cards. They are very helpful to my business and I even ride shotgun with them on their routes (sometimes) to meet the different restaurant...

I can also help you... If you cannot get David, please contact me at 217-242-5469. I am not a long timer, but I have seen many different systems. David is probably your best bet, but call if you need to. This is one of my favorite jobs to do. I would quit doing decks tomorrow if I had...

Kitchen cleaning is enjoyable to me!! Mike Sorry for being 4 monthes late to respond, but I will clean a vent a hood anyday before I will do a deck. Reasons why: 1. Better money 2. Your in and out 3. Bars, Taverns, restaurants.... people to see your trucks and to PR with about what...

David Thanks for the response, I am an experienced commercial Kitchen cleaner however I have only cleaned the maximum of 12' duct work before. I have never dealt with a system which has access panels. Do you use specially bent lances on these or are there any secrets? Thanks again for...

I am working on an estimate for a local restaurant which has a system with a two story duct. there are three systems in this restaurant and each system has two access door and of course the 3'x3' fan assembly. The last guy was cleaning the 8',9'and 7' hoods only for $250.00. You could tell he...

I experienced a problem the other night where my pump ran at 3000 PSI for a while then dropped to around 2000 PSI. If I turned the machine off and then turned it back on in a few minutes, the pressure would read 3000PSI again. Can anyone explain this. The complete unit has <100 hours on it...
