😭
"War against algae." too funny. 😆
lol thanks man
I've fried a couple of GFI outlets. 1 drop of SH can light them off. I just washed a Parsonage house and it had a cut off wire coming off of a gable end. It was probably from a yard light but my SH hit that wire and it started smoking. I quickly switched over to rinse and flooded it with just water and it stopped the burning. I'm wondering if just dousing an outlet with plain water will stop them from smoldering. Do some testing at the firehouse and see what you come up with. Good video.
thats a good idea, maybe i wil test that. thanks man
Come on you done the bbq greats now that’s a game changer lol hats off
I had a customer that wanted like 1/3 of his driveway washed. I convinced him to wash up to 1/2, despite him agreeing to wash the full thing when I gave the estimate. Gave me a headache
that is so annoying
Good content!
Glad you enjoyed it
I find with rust like that Sean I get it straight. And do a 50/50 mix . Hit it 5 seconds rinse and repeat till it’s gone then it won’t eat or scetch the concrete. Every one has there own method I no. Looks great tho
What will you use on the rust?
The stuff is called “pro-clean” it’s from my local pressure washing store. Active ingredient phosphoric acid! I almost burned a hole in their driveway 😭
Are you talking any precaution to water run off especially with chemicals? Most areas have some sort of environmental care acts.
na, but I should. Dilution is the solution to the pollution... I pretty much just rinse everything really well
That 5.5 is a beast!!
I’ve been using a 4gpm direct drive for the past 3 years and love it, but sort of worried that a 5.5 gpm wouldn’t work well if a house has a weak water supply. Have you ran into any problems with anyone have a weak water supply with your 5.5?
I don't think you'd be able to run the 5.5 without a buffer tank! Luckily, you'd only need a 125gal IMO. I run a buffer tank on a trailer, so no issues for me so far. Thanks!

hello!
My favorite channel to watch keep up the great work!! The only pressure washing store near me is hotsy. I will be purchasing a 5gpm machine & was wondering if a 100 gallon buffer tank will do the job?? Also should I get 100’ of Preasure hose or connect 2 100’s and make 200’ or will I drastically lose my gpm. Thanks for the help 🙏
THanks Landon! I'm not familiar with Hotsy, but I would recommend ask them, they should be the experts. I ran a 125gal with my 4gpm, I think you'd be perfect with a 100 gal. The limiting factor would be the water source. I would recommend 200', 100' isn't enough for most jobs IMO. As far as friction loss through the hose, yes you will lose some PSI but the benefit of reach out weighs the lose, In my humble opinion
I really appreciate you’re feedback, keep kicking @ss man. Do not stop posting !
😂😂😂 great vid bro!
thanks bro!
Hey bud can I ask what tips your running on your surface cleaner?
Lemme go check, it's whatever is rated for 8gpm i know that much
Ok, im running 5gpm tips & im not moving that fast. Same surface cleaner. 5.5 gpm Machine. Got rid of my 8gpm. Didn't like it.
@@floridadadvader Why didnt you like the 8?!?!
hey man just checked, I am running 25045
For me personally too much flo, I know it sounds crazy but the end of the driveways would be full of so much water. Rinse is great. I like my 5.5 its perfect.
Shurtape 👍
Thanks!
Acid dose same thing on rust and it’s lots cheaper .
Use red stucco tape
Good idea brotha, I am going to have to switch something up!
21:20 do you offer to move things that are against the side of the house or just expect the customer to move things and if they don’t, just wash around it? I see this is pretty much every house wash video on YT.
Good question, I tend to not move things. But there are many factors. If the items might get damaged I may move them but I usually will soap above and let the chemical rundown behind said items. Then I rinse in the same fashion. You can get it pretty much clean like that.
That wall receptacle is scary. Mine shot flame and I had tape on it. I didn't have to fix it The homeowners did.
jesus! it's not a good feeling
wtf 🤣
😭
I have a customer who wants me to wash 5 townhouses and power lines are hanging in my way on all of them, what should i do? i can text you pictures if that is ok
try to avoid spraying them! and remember, no job is worth your health and safety
