Been a long time since I posted on here, probably too long, but pretty much been cleaning 6 days a week so I can't complain. I am having nothing but dramas lately (last 6-12 months) with the outlet nozzle on my gun (i use Vega 5000psi handguns) splitting after a couple of weeks. I have tried to...

Hi all, been a long time between posts, flat out cleaning! My main source of income down here is acid washing (muratic) brickwork on new houses, and business has been good.... until now! One of my main builders has been approached by a bi-carb soda blasting company who claim they can do exactly...

Hi been a while since I posted on here as things have been coasting along nicely until I came accross my latest job. Part of the work involves removing a permanent anti graffiti coating that was applied to the building, problem is that pressure cleaning alone (hot & cold) won't shift it. The...

Hi all, long time since posting anything, been flat out down here! I have had a builder mate of mine wanting me to fix up some stains to one of his clients deck. They had a backyard operator clean it but the galvanised screws have leached a stain onto the decking( around the screws), it looks...

Hey Mark, just wanted to know if you got my email in regards to ordering some stuff? It was a while ago, been pretty busy down here with my wife having twins 2 months ago and my outlook express has been playing up as well. Looking to add to the list if you are still interested Brett

Been looking around for a web site publishing program, it seems as though frontpage is on its way out(can't get a copy anywhere here). what has replaced it? Any other good reliable programs out there?

That is the question!! Still searching the earth for parts for my first ever own build diesel unit. Had my heart on direct drive with a 32Hp engine, using a 'spider' coupling, until someone asked why I wasn't using a gear box? They then informed me that a gearbox would allow me to use a...

stain removal blocks & granite Ok, I have just been down to the local cemetary who wants a quote on cleaning down their memorial walls ( where the departeds ashes are stored) which are over 20 years old and have been stained through years of neglect and dam water spray. The stains I can see...

hey all, seems like everytime i have to post on here it's because i have a drama that i cannot figure out, so i go to the world to find the answers to all my problems (well ones to do with pressure cleaning anyways!!) My 20hp honda is behaving very badly at the moment, seems like it's running...

Still doing all the costings on my new machine get-up (thanks to all of you who have help thusfar) and are looking at pumps. Over here most units that you can buy have either a bertollini pump or an AR pump, with the AR being my pump of choice. Until today!! Went to a pump supplier who swears...

Hi all, I am in the process of getting everything ready for my first foray into building my own machine. I am wanting to use a diesel engine (the gas prices are killing me here!) with a 7-8GPM @3600-4000psi. What horsepower diesel would be needed to run such a pump? I currently have an Honda...

hello all, just been at a persons house that has been 'bombed' with 3 molotov cocktails (popular people!!) and my drama is that I can't get all the smoke stains from the wall. I have tried sugar soap (alkaline) and this has budged some (70%) of the stains, but there is still that 30% which...

hello to all, been a while since I have posted any threads, work is flat out at the moment. Just went out to quote an historic registered building which requires cleaning. We have been doing a number of such dwellings over the past year, all have been stone products, usually bluestone, but this...

g'day all, just got a call from a client who has approx 350m2 of retaining wall (old as the hills) that he needs cleaned. There are some new sections that have been re-laid(which are no problems) and the remainder is covered in a white hard residue. To me it looks like a calcium build up, with...

i've an AR pump, 3600psi @ 14gpm(i think thats the conversion, its speced at 30lpm) run by a 20hp Honda, with a K7 bypass system. I've a 't' fitting before the bypass that allows me to dump water straight into my recirculation tank, if I require a lower water amount to apply my chemicals...
