great video . thank you
Nice job, very thorough!
Thank you I appreciate that!
Good stuff, Luke, excellent attention to details
Thanks I appreciate that! 🙏🏼
solid video for newbie me, I don't see links for the window washing gear. thanks
I appreciate it! A lot of the window cleaning equipment is on Windowcleaner.com. I’ll send some links
I live in Michigan and I always wet down the house first because you can oxidize shock the house if you apply SH straight to the oxidation.
Nice that’s the best way to go
Could you explain how you’re pulling chemical? I would greatly appreciate it!
I’m pulling chemical through my downstream injector and JROD. The downstream injector connects to the pressure washer and pulls chemical through your hose and out your tips. The JROD has specific tips that you use that allow chemical to pull through and also specific tips that only will pull water. This is the chemical injector I use. amzn.to/3Zfewcp
I learned a lot Thanks for the video
I appreciate that, glad to hear!
Plug the barb and it should pull chem
Well done and said. Thank you.
Thank you sir!
I wondered if my Xjet would pull chem through the injector or not, you answered that question without me coming here looking for you to lol. Looking at ordering an injector and jrod now after using a pump up sprayer for my first house wash....was so time consuming. Thanks for the video man.
Yessir you got it! Injector and jrod will save you so much time, I have links in the description to the ones I use.
@@lukeraglin Pulled em up and reading reviews now. Thanks man!
@AaronWilhelm awesome man! Any questions let me know
@@lukeraglin Just checking, the amazon listing mentions the jrod you have linked is for 2-3 gpm machines....you've not had any issues running it with your predator (I have the same machine)
@AaronWilhelm I would get the one for the 4 gpm. I haven’t had any issues with the 2-3 gpm one except it doesn’t shoot as far. But try this one instead amzn.to/4bKWli7. I just ordered one
Some of the holes don't pull chem
That is correct
You ever had issues using chems on a bare woid fence?
I make sure to pre wet it before and right after if chemical gets on it, so that usually makes sure it doesn’t hurt the wood
Hey Luke... nice video... can I ask what make/model pressure washer you have in the truck...?
Hey thank you! I’m using a Predator 4.2 gpm 4400 psi. Works great
Looks like you built a skid. Does the machine rattle the truck bed? I’m getting tired of rolling mine off the truck bed for smaller jobs.
Yup built a wooden skid a few months ago! I don’t have any issues with the pressure washer rattling, it’s nice just keeping it in the truck and not taking it out
Have you been able to hit the peaks of 2 story houses with the X Jet with the 4 gpm?
Yes I can hit 3-4 stories if it’s not too windy
When you say you are pulling soap @2:56, are you referring to SH? or do you mix your SH with soap in the tank?
Yes referring to SH and I mix my surfactant in my SH tank as well so it sticks a bit better
@@lukeraglin I read that mixing it in the tank would reduce the effectiveness, any take on that?
@KelonOWedderburn SH alone loses strength over time especially when exposed to the sun, mixing it with soap can reduce it too but since I only have a 15 gallon tank, that’s lasting me about 4-5 days till I refill and I haven’t had any issues with it not being effective
@@lukeraglin Thanks for sharing Luke! in the process of setting up my build, so I appreciate the feedback
Nice! Any questions you have just let me know, always happy to help!
What part of Texas do you live?
And I was wondering, what are your prices for house , roof wash, gutter cleaning, and pressure washing for the house you just did?
I’m in Corpus Christi, Texas. Pricing depends on the size definitely but something like this, I charged $195 since I service this client every 6 months. Usually I charge $240 for house washes for a basic one story home, gutter cleaning is around $140 for one story, roof washing around $500 minimum and can go up from there.
I try to target $100-$150 an hour, gotta pay the taxes, bills, chemicals, other stuff
Does the GPM on the 15 Gal tank pump matter? I think yours is 1GPm right?
I have a 4 gpm pressure washer, it just takes SH from the tank to downstream. 15 gallons usually lasts me 3-5 days depending on what I’m doing
@@lukeraglin so do you even use the 12 V pump or
@lando3972 I don’t have a 12V pump, just the downstream injector that goes through the pressure washer and I use the x jet at times but no 12V
@@lukeraglin cool thanks thats what im planning on doing!
@lando3972 nice yeah I plan on getting a 12V in the future but don’t have the room on my truck at the moment. Possibly once I upgrade to a bigger skid I’ll get a 12V
So using the xjet tip will NOT pull chem through the injector? Same as switching from soap tip to rinse tip on the Jrod?
Exactly. Since it has that barb, it cuts off the ability to pull chemical. It’s like using a jrod but more flexibility to rinse with twisting for different patterns.
What %SH are you using and what does it dilute to using x Jet?
I’m using 12.5% SH, downstreaming it automatically dilutes to 1.5%. With the x jet, if you have 12.5% SH and are not using any proportioner tips, you’ll be getting around a 4-5% depending on your gpm. Mines a 4gpm
How big is that water tank. Or do you keep filling up with customer water
That is a chemical tank and it’s 15 gallons. I connect my pressure washer to the customers water spigot
My SH is in that tank for downstreaming
