That's called a ball valve, it allows you to cut the water off at the tip of the high pressure hose in order to switch attachments. I open the ball valve about halfway and it allows for a nice stream of water pressure for rinsing.
Nicely done! At times it’s super hard to hear you, I don’t know if a water droplet covered the mic on the cam or if the compressor was just that loud, “I thought I left a comment yesterday but came back to say to finish the video and notice my comment was not posted, idk what I did but yeah, also at the end you mention your goal is to finish less than a hour but also you work is OUTSTANDING!! You use an 8GPM pump… to be honest, I have NOTHING to start my pressure washing business. But when I do I am going but buy a pressure washer for 400-500 bucks to and get the highest GPM witch for the price that will be in budget all I see is 2.4-2.8 maybe 2.9GPM will it take me 4x as longer than you to clean and have the same results? Have a blessed weekend
The machine/surface cleaner are so loud I can’t get very good vocal audio… I need to try and get a mic I can put right up to my mouth.. otherwise my audio is drowned out by the sounds of the machines… as for a pressure washer I’d try and save for atleast a 4gpm, anything weaker and you will really struggle to power a surface cleaner, it’ll just leave streaks. When I first started I got a 2.5gpm and I couldn’t use my surface cleaner cause it was too weak.. the surface cleaners are the key to speeding up the job.
You could also look for a surface cleaner that’s on the smaller side. 10 inches or so, I believe you can see in the description of the surface cleaner what GPM is needed to power it. Just make sure to find a surface cleaner that can be powered by 2.5gpm machine and you should be fine. The larger the surface cleaner the more GPM needed to power it.
@@PressureWashingPOV and the 4GPM is ok to plug up to a house for water supply? How many GPM would be to much for a house to supply the water, when will I need a buffer tank “correct me if I’m using the wrong name” as of now I really don’t care how long it takes me to “for the most part”… my 9-5 job pays me 180 a day “8hours” so if my pressure washing job takes me 2hrs to finish the job that’s could have been done in 1hr that paid $100 $150 I will be ok until I buy better equipment… I plan on putting all power washing job money back into the business and still work my 9-5 job until i feel like I need to make a decision on committing to it full time
@@PressureWashingPOV I had no clue about matching the GPM with the surface cleaner, I shall be waiting for the next video, hopefully you post the job that you have or will being doing about the solar panels!! Be safe out that man, have fun and I shale join you on the next video!!
Also about the sound I was just thinking about to help, I have seen/heard TH-camrs mute the video, while editing the video they mute a certain part that they are talking about an voice over while the video is still playing “idk if I’m making sense” lol
Most of these companies I work for manage hundreds of properties. So we have a set service fee minimum and most of our services fall right around that minimum fee. It’s easier to demand higher prices for services when it’s two companies doing business together versus if I was cleaning just a single homeowners. So my prices fluctuate based on who I’m doing business with. Hopefully that makes sense.
@ use it instead of the ball valve it’s great when you cutting in the driveway and sidewalk not trying to tell you how to do your job but try it one time if you don’t like don’t do it but I like it
Thanks for watching and supporting the channel! The only time I bring water to a job is if the location doesn't have a viable water source. Otherwise it is understood within the industry that part of providing pressure washing services is using the water that is available on site.
@bngpressure Okay I was just wondering cause I'm in the business as well in Philadelphia And here when you try to use someone's water they think you should do there property for free or give a super discount LOL
Maybe people in Florida are different, but I've never had an issue using a customers water. Usually they'll even show me where to connect on their house LOL I don't often deal with houses on well water, but I could see that possibly being a reason someone may want you to supply your own water.
Also you could explain to them that if you have to keep going and refilling your water tank it will be much more expensive for them. Its much cheaper to just use their available water which is already on-site
@@PressureWashingPOV I only have 3 years experience with Pressure Washing doing a couple of houses and driveways a year, so I’m not sure how come you didn’t pretreat. Do you get the same results of not causing lines if you just post-treat?
Wow it must be nice to just go up and solicit your business you know you know that's illegal right dude and you know that's stupid and wrong and dishonest I mean dude I'd have so much business if I was able to knock on every door and bother somebody oh can I do your driveway for $250 and I'll do it in 48 minutes come on dude put a flyer in her mailbox and walk away do it the right way
I wouldn’t pay $250 for that bad of a job maybe 75 did not come clean at all too many streaks and you didn’t even clean the gutter definitely a piss poor job
Why don’t you get that buildup of cement that usually comes off the concrete? You’re rinsing just dirt off when I seem to get this nasty thick stuff that takes a lot longer.
You are my favorite pressure washing company!!😉
Thank you! I appreciate you watching and supporting!
Hey great video brother, i just found your channel, amazing
What SH % did you used to post-treat ??
Thanks for watching! I usually use 6% to post treat.
Hey what is that thing called that you watered the driveway with at 9:25

You charge $250 for something this size?
How do you charge Base on how big the driveways n porch are? Or do you just have a set price for everything
Most of these companies I work for manage hundreds of properties. So we have a set service fee minimum and most of our services fall right around that minimum fee. It’s easier to demand higher prices for services when it’s two companies doing business together versus if I was cleaning just a single homeowners. So my prices fluctuate based on who I’m doing business with. Hopefully that makes sense.
@PressureWashingPOV thanks
Why don’t you used a wand with turbo nozzle
What portion of the job would I use it for?
@ use it instead of the ball valve it’s great when you cutting in the driveway and sidewalk not trying to tell you how to do your job but try it one time if you don’t like don’t do it but I like it
@@carlossmith9576I’ll definitely give it a try! I’m always open to trying new ways to do things. Never know unless you try!
How do you charge people but use their water?

There's too many steeks left on the concrete it needs to be gone over the opposite direction now to remove those steeks
Those streeks
@@williamholmes1907 still spelled it wrong😀
@@DanielGarcia-kn9rx That's not as bad as doing the job wrong and charging people for it.
Thats a $450 driveway where im at
Nice brother! You're making pretty good money then.
Different states have different markets
No SH and surfactant? How is that clean?
At 36:00 is where the Post Treat(SH Application) happens in this video.
Still I would pre instead of post and eliminate any streaks
You got the wrong tips on that SC. You leaving lines. Check your tips. Post treat will help some but need to fix tune that SC so it dont leave lines.
Did you pretreat?
We only post-treated this job
@@PressureWashingPOV I only have 3 years experience with Pressure Washing doing a couple of houses and driveways a year, so I’m not sure how come you didn’t pretreat. Do you get the same results of not causing lines if you just post-treat?

We are a commercial pressure washing company. These jobs are contracted work from property management companies. Nobody is soliciting anything.
@@PressureWashingPOV I also love how is suggestion is to put a flyer in the mailbox which actually IS illegal
