I do not know what you r using. After 24 yrs, and no probs with vinyl, I always use truck soap @ 50% mix. for tough dirt I do alum britener WEAK, inj down. One tip, be very careful on power washing. If you are sloppy and miss you aill get a bad job result. I use 15* noz. If it is streaked you...

Power washers are built from quality compononts. You need an unloader/ pulsation dampner/and if you are adding hot water a hot box. Plumbing? it all depends on you. All you need do is visit a site where there sre god photos of pw's. actually there is not all that much toi it.

I did this several times teaching guys. I had one go to Texas to school. He said it was a waste of $$ as they just went over the same stuff I did. I will do so again.

Dude, I run this system. it's been good enough for me 4 24 yrs! You may find a tank is needed for even this @ 4gpm. anything over will certainly need a tank to supply. I find 4 gpm to be optimum, @ 3000 psi. HOT HOT HOT!! pre spray all with a good detergent. (I use BJ's oven cleaner, or Sparton...

weep holes and underlayment after 24 yrs of washing I would say you have had the under layment get wet thru weep holes ( exp/cont.0 joints.) Once you get under it, you will get this effect. I use one (1) product only on vinyl and have had no probs in all this time. I would not use anymore...

The drilled out 0 nozzle just creates a low pressure situation so it will bypass and draw with a downstream injector. You see them the flat type are black. large opening so the bypass can be accomplished. I say always use a nozzle rec. for your output.

I cannot belive you guys! Bleach?? washing a house? Sorry but I think that is so not pro.! There are several very good products out there.I go with "Clean Cargo"@ 50% dilution and down injection. any bad stains, "aluminum brightner"! will remove even creosote! The CC has MS in it plus additives...

I suggest you go with a 3000 psi machine, cold water will do. psi is not the answer, it's flow. so go with at least 4gpm. anything more and you will need a tank to feed it. loose paint, dirt will give you a better paint surface god luck! And yes! belt drive!! or the newer poly chain drive.

Aj In upstate NY since 1983. Bought out my brother-in-law who kicks himself every day goes by for giving up. The only thing that kept me was trucks washing for 3 yrs I did not much else. Then as if by some magic trick, I was out every day in summer, washing houses. I run Alkota 3000 @4 hot with...
