How much is the course Mike?
You got a recommend place or site to order one from?
i love this guy.
no bullshit no timewasting no secrets
straight to the point with everything you need to know
Best free instructional video on downstream/maintenance ever!
+Bradley Fulbright thank you Bradley
@@AllAboutPressureWashing What is the difference between softwashing and downstream? Is it the same? Where a downstream injector is just the process of how to softwash?
If you were starting a business today.... x jet m5 twist or downstream injector setup like you explained here.
Downstream injector, don’t want to be carrying around chemicals in a bucket.
Best channel to learn all things pressure and soft washing. Zero experience when I first started in 2018 and because of videos and guys like this I love been able to learn an extraordinary amount of surface cleaning and now stay booked out 1-2 months busy as all get up!!
Thank you
This might just be the best "how to" video on TH-cam. Great work!
Glad you think so!
Thank you for providing a clear, concise, easy-to-understand explanation focusing on the essential points.
It was easy to understand, and I greatly appreciated it.
Thanks man I just got a new pressure washer to start a business and all you’re videos helped me to get to this point
Definitely helped with further insight…. I had to take it apart yesterday and learned how they worked I have a ceramic ball in my injector…
Glad for this video. I'm starting this month and have decided not to soft wash and only downstream, you've confirmed my thinking. Cheers!
That's awesome and good luck - check out the How to Wash training course - lots of great info in there
What's going on? I'm new to the whole power washing business starting my own company called before and after pro wash. Been investing a lot of money into equipment, LLC's insurance, business cards, door hangers, advertisement. I do work full-time but I'm trying to turn this into something full-time as we all want in life lol. Just wanted to say I appreciate all the knowledge that you and forever self-employed give me for free and I watch you guys on a daily basis keep doing what you guys are doing. You guys are awesome and go make that money baby
Thank you and good luck
I have a Greenworks 2300. Soap doesn’t come out of the wand but soap is going thru the tubing. Now I’m going to check the injector. Thanks for the info.👍🏻
Thank you for this video! Pure information no fluff, much appreciated!
This guy is phenomenal
Best explantion I've seen yet! Love your videos
+Dee Justice thanks
Thanks Mike!! I’ve been so confused which one I needed and they’re all basically the same thing running on a Venturi system.
I’ve actually got chemical injection system on my machine. Really appreciate your help and knowledge.

My pleasure.
Thanks for the video! This video was very helpful to me to get my valve cleaned out and the soap flowing again.
You did it again brother another knowledgeable video thanks brother you Coty,Aron & Jonathen are on a roll with helping us up and comers appreciate it brother spray on💯💯💪💪
Thank you Marcos, appreciate that.
Pedro has been consistently putting out fantastic information for years now. 👏
🤣
We appreciate your expertise on this subject Mike! God bless you and your family in Jesus Christ name!
Thank you Jeffery 🙏🏼
Starting with a pump but first thing I will do is upgrade to a down stream!! You made me obsessed with getting the right one for me!!
Great, info!! This is the only channel my playback speed is .75 😄
Excellent video
+Aaron's Lean & Mean Academy Thank you brother
My downstream inyector only work if I do use 50 ft hose. When I switch to 150 ft hose it stop working . What should I do to make it work with my long hose . Thanks 🙏
Best information ever!! Thanks Mike!!!
You bet!
Which injector did you use ? Thank you very much
Super video especially for just starting out in this business.
+John Wilson thanks John
Thank u very much I couldn’t figure out what was wrong until I seen this video the little ball from my injector fell out when I was changing it and I didn’t notice thank u very much appreciate ur videos
What’d you do when you noticed there wasn’t a ball in it? Just bought a pressure washer and the downstream injector that came with it wasn’t working so I took it off and found out there’s not a ball in it..
@@loganweber693 hi I order a new one on Amazon it came in a 2 pack worked perfect after that
What the heck! Thanks man, this video literally gave me everything I needed.
Love to hear it
This is the video I’ve been searching for thankyou
Same
Great stuff Mike
+Christian Yannazzone Thank you Christian
cool Mike, I picked up the complete guide! thanks man
+ryan a/ Prestige Pest Unit & House Wash Awesome- let me know what you think!
This was so helpful answered every question I had
How do I find out the ratio my injector pulls chemical?
Appreciate the video Mike, this answers a couple of the questions I had emailed you earlier. Much love brother and thanks again
+Tim Salameh thanks Tim
Have a good labor day Mike,
+Rick Washek you too Rick
Finally someone who doesnt talk slow. Time is precious
Great video str8 and to the point!! Thank u
👊🏻
I love your guys' video. I can't wait to purchase your guide.
I know this is an old video but does the chemical injector have a set ratio or is it adjustable
I purchased the downstream injector however this one that I got from Amazon is adjustable and has a metering valve. Was this a bad idea? I'm guessing I would have to open the valve all the way up to get the max amount of chemical right?
Yes - it’s just a preference thing, we like fixed because it’s less moving parts, which means less opportunity for failure.
Good info. Thanks!
+Todd Bailey you got it Todd
thanks for the info
👊🏻
Hey, is there a way to use longer hose and still get ample sh injection?
Longer than 150ft
Brand, new hose, high flow injector, a few restrictions in line as possible, like Hose reels, 90° bends, etc.
Awesome video mate, up unfortunately can't fnd any one in NZ that can set this up for me
Thanks for the great info. If I have a downstream injector connected at the washer right after a ball valve, then will my surface cleaner and wand get enough water flow? I ask because if the injector constricts the amount of water that can pass through it, then would it also result in less pressure at the gun? Thanks again!
How much chemicals is bought into the mix for each 10 litres of water? - the standard on the Dewalts stock injector is 10%

This video was extremely helpful and put me back on production. Thank you
Another great vid. Nice and simple
Thanks Gerald
Hello from San Francisco CA
I use this connector Instead having sop out, my sop tank got full of water
Great video! 2 cents to add because it drove me NUTS! Make sure your hose is 3/8! You cannot get a vacuum with 1/4 inch hose. Rebuilt the check valve 4 times before I realized that problem was the 1/4 inch hose.
2:50 and 3:10 great tips, thanks
Thanks
With a 4gpm and comit pump can I run a 6 foot hose from my Chem tank to the downstream injector and it pull
Awesome video, quick and informational. Thank you!
New guy here thanks for the info
Thanks for the sub!
No problem 🫡
Thank you for the video! I am only able to get soap with the injector when using the black soap tip not my j-rod. I've just purchased a new pw machine it came with the injector kit the arrow is pointing towards the wand away from the pump. I've put it on the machine like in your video and on the hose closest to the wand. What am I doing wrong? Oh and I have a 2.5 GPM and 4 GPM machine with about 100 feet of pw hose and injector hose about 5 feet same issue on both machines. Thx for any recommendations
Hello, what if the pressure washer already comes with it’s own down stream injector? but paper work says to not use it for bleach only soap. Could I still run bleach through it or add a second down stream injector?
Can you get hotter mixes downstreaming then using an xjet?
Can you run it on the end of the wand with a wide tip would that lower the pressure and work?
my machine has a down stream thing built into the pump. i don’t want to run bleach into it. I purchased a sown stream injector but it doesn’t work well
Very good info! Thanks.
I have always been told the draw is 10:1. Do downstream injectors vary?
Great info! But this means you can only use a batch system where the percentage of chemicals is predetermined, am I right? Or is it possible to adapt a blender manifold to get a different mix?
Do you know were I can get the valve with the spring and ball bearing? Mine broke and can't find it
Does this injector reduce the flow, if it does,any idea how much on a 3gpm/3000 psi unit.
Not enough to worry about it
your the man bro
Simple and straight to the point. Thanks
Do you prefer gas or electric pumps when softwashing homes
Electric
Great vid! Bad ass shirt !
Quick question Micheal, if I am doing a driveway, can I go with the black tip for the entire process??
No
Good video. I have a question for you and hopefully you can help me out with my pressure washer issue.
It won't turn on but when I put a little bit of Carb/Choke cleaner, it works but only for a few seconds (Husqvarna 3100).
Thanks a lot in advance sir!
my machine has a down stream thing built into the pump. i don’t want to run bleach into it. I purchased a sown stream injector but it doesn’t work
I'm from Brazil and I REALLY needed this type of valve or equipment but we don't have it here... I myself wanted to know the exact dimensions so I could have it made here because importing costs a fortune...
They are $18 - on amazon
@@AllAboutPressureWashing Send me the link? because what I have found here, adding up all the taxes, in the end I pay almost 800 reais (Brazilian currency)
Good to know I will let my pressure washer know
Do they have a metering system on those? Is that check ball a meter of some sort so you don't get too much of a mix?
Good advice
Glad it was helpful!
On a 5 gpm pump do you use a 3to5 injector or the 5 to 8? Thanks
Thank you, would 200ft of high pressure hose be to long for downstream washing?
+Delroy Chambers Yes
What kind of connection do you use? The setup I figured out is spewing water out at the connections.
You are the GOAT in this game. Thay is all. Lol
How does the high pressure not draw chemical from the downstream injector but lower pressure does?
Thanks for the advice. Good and thorough
Ok but how do you get the correct ratio of chemical? Trying to get into pressure washing on the side but can't figure out how to control the ratio of the downstream injectors. Using an x-jet right now want to upgrade in the future.
The chemical injector that you purchased determines the ratio. You can have an impact on the strength based on the bleach that you're introducing into the stream.
Do we have to worry about dilution when using one of these?
have you come across a downstream injector that can get you close to the ratio you need to clean a roof? I hear the suds sucker is a high draw injector.
+smitty4699 there are a couple that can get you a stronger mix but not really anything close to a roof mix.
I wonder how much percentage is coming out of the tip when downstreaming straight from the SH jug
Great Video! Thank you, God Wins!!!
Thx
how do you control the strength of the chemical when you down stream?
Can I build a soft rush rig to work from the back of my 4 door sedan? I don't have a truck but I won't to get started. But all these videos from dudes that are setting up ACTUAL rigs. I need the starter version of this even if it's just me with a pump sprayer
Anything is possible
@@AllAboutPressureWashing ? Is their a build for downstreaming that could fit
Does it matter what thickness the hose is? You said 150 ft in length but can it be 150 ft of 1/4 inch?
Thanks for the video! I know, if using a separate pump, the SH mix should be 1:1, but what if using and injector straight from the pressure washer? Should the mix ratio be changed, and to what ratio? Thanks
Why does my chemical bucket that the downstream injector is in eventually fill up with water?
Your chemical injector is bad
I have lost the spring . what spring I can use. And how can I make the downstream injector which is attached with the pump working ?
+Mohamed mahir call Ray
Need help, added more hose and now i cant downstream. .. only with 50ft. Any more hose I can't pull suction suction. I've tried 2.3mm, 2.1mm & 1.8mm general pump injectors. Pump is canpump 4.7gpm, using jrod for 4gpm. Any help greatly appreciated
WOW this is a awesome know how video
+Ricky walker thanks
What nozzle tip is that in the video?
Thank you! Simple and to the point.
Just bought a 10 gpm beast. Was using a 5.5 gpm. Is it true the 10gpm chemical injector won't pull soap as strong as the 5.5?
Hey mike question if I have a built in chemical injector on my 4gpm can I still use a downstream injector or would i have to cap the existing one?
Hey Mike, once and a while our injector allows backflow of water into the chem tank when we are rinsing. Is it just a faulty injector or am I doing something else wrong?
