Nice examples and execellent before and after shots. Can't believe the difference, wow!!
How about etching? Never used Phosporic acid before. I really like citric acid because of its harmlessness to the enviroment and living things like plants and kids.

Chirobob,
Thanks for the info on the surfacant. We do track all leads and we do get leads as a direct result of the website. What really helps is to refer prospects to the site to view the site. Once this happens our company gains instant credibility. Example-We contact a lot of businesses to make them aware of the services. We ask if we can send information. The website is listed in the info packet. We picked up a painting company who paints close to 200 residential homes as a direct result of the owner being impressed with the site. The site impressed him enough to give us a chance to talk. The door was opened so to speak. It definately works! Another great tool is our email newsletter, but thats another story.

Orangecrest,
the phosphoric isn't as strong in ionisation energy as acids such as hydrochloric, and sulphuric. Therefore you can let it dwell a little longer. Don't get me wrong it left on for long enough it will etch. You just have a lot more time up your sleeve with this one. Another bonus it that it is more user friendly to work with than HCL or H2SO4, but you still have to respect it.
Environmentaly, it is a good fertiliser, but not good to go down drains as it aids in eutrophicataion of waterways. Quite often you'll see detergents that are "Phosphate free " because of this.
I haven't tried the citric yet,I'll have to check this one out. I am a strong believer of let the right chemical do the work of cleaning and I just rinse off.

Dan,
The problem you're having with the Sureflows is in the pressure switch. It is the switch that controls the on/off cycling of the pump. It does not seem to be servicable, but is easily replaceable. The only problem is the cost of a dinky little plastic pressure switch is roughly half the cost of the whole pump itself.
Let me share with you my solution for problems with Sureflows...... I now buy them from Northern Tool, who will sell you a no-questions asked 2 year warranty for $7.99.
Hope this helps!

When your shur-flo stops pumping b/c of air do this before and you will no-longer have a problem.
put a in line squeeze valve in the draw line. It is a black squeeze rubber thingy. It reminds you of a blood pressure that a Dr. would use when they put it on your arm. WHile your pump is pumping and it lost it's prime squeeze the rubber to help it up thru the inlet >>>>>>>>>>>> works everytime.
This rubber thing allows the chem to flow thru it while the pump is running.
Or
Turn on your pump push h20 thru it from p/wer and when you hear the pump drawing better turn off pump whil you are still feeding it with h20.
Then place your draw line back in the bucket and turn pump back on. sometimes this way you need 2 people ..one for the h20 one to turn off pump.
It is also nice to rince out the pumps with h20 once in awhile to clean the seals in it. I have had a 150psi 1.5gpm. hanging on the wall for 3 years and it still works great!!
