    I am not sure what type of chem injector it is, but it looks like a regular brass quick disconnect and a draw hose flange, can someone please recommend one that will work well with this set up.

    The pumps just came in, I am going build a cart set up for the pumps, hose reel and battery so I don't have to take it on every job! I am not going to take any roofs I don't feel comfortable walking or can't clean from gutter level. I guess what I want to know is what is the range for dual...

    My surface cleaner has a 3 sprayer jet on the front that acts like a water broom, will that take the gum up? I suppose I could try it and find out but since the job is not mine and I am still in the planning phase that is not really an option. I hate to be redundant but I feel like these are...

    Surface cleaners are what makes us money anyone who hasn't tried one is missing out and if you can't afford one you need to start saving. That is just my opinion based on my limited experience, and we plan to use a 24'' Twister on the job in question. My question is will the surface cleaner at...

    Does it really take steam to get gum up or will my surface cleaner at 180-240 get it in the first pass? I assume I will be doing at least a little scraping but the plan is to have two guys work together one getting gum specifically with the wand and scraper the other running the surface...
