This was extremely helpful. Thank you for going so in-depth!
This guy is giving out more information then any body I seen I definitely subscribed an will be watching all content
I heard a saying while learning this trade that stuck with me "dilution is the solution to pollution" great saying and true
I really really appreciate you putting everything in a PowerPoint presentation. Alot of these guys just talk and talk and don't give specific numbers for much of anything. Almost as of they don't want give away basic information for free and want people to buy their 400 dollar courses. Thanks good sir!
Hey man just started my own business and every time I search for pressure washer hope you always show up so I guess you’re the guy
This is the most informative video I’ve watched thanks man!
Excellent video. Thank you for the info.
thank you for the information your my favorite teacher !!
I wasn't looking for this info. but i learned a lot. Thanks
Thanks for all the advice Jason. Starting off this year with my 94 Toyota. No skid, i've just got my two homes to do a soft wash this week
Very detailed thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Nice info!
Thanks for watching man
Great video👍
Thanks a lot for share !!!
Always welcome
I really appreciate
You
Great Video would of loved the best surfactant mixes along with the bleach for the best Clean and SHINE.
Very useful video thank you, I've been wondering what strengths to use
Glad I could help you out man
Hey Jason, great video! One question though: since you didn’t mention brick, is that in the 3-6% range like stone etc.?
Thanks
Ty sooo much
Thanks brother, I really appreciate the info!
I have a million questions tryin to start my business this up coming spring lol
Do you have a video explaining how to get to those usage percentages?
Bleach party! Awesome video dude. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed! It fun playing in bleach. That what makes the money. 😀
Hey Jason. How you doing thank you for all the information that you give all the time question what's the percentage if I x jet ?
You can get about a 4% mix with the next yet
Hi are you still offering the class on dumpster pads and the contracts to use?
Do you recommend wearing a respirator while down streaming.. is there any long term effects on the lungs from sh?
What would you use on Tin Roofs?
So do I fill the pool shock up in my canister?
I'm not too good at understanding this math percentage part I don't know if you've done a video on it or not I've had to get to one-and-a-half percent or Ford per cent or 6% but that would be greatly appreciated if you did a video on that thank you
Hi Jason Thanks for your helpful video. Just got some unsure about the mix ratios of presure washing. As you mentioned for the 0.75-1.5%
Is this mix ratios used for downstream on wall ratios ? And if so do is it for 12.5% SH ? Thanks.
Sorry my English not very well. Hope you could get what I mean. I used 2.6GMP 3200psi presure washer and just wondering that if I use the downstream and the 12.5% SH and going to wash the wood weather weatherboard house wall . should I need to use the water to diluting the 12.5% SH ?Thanks

Great video mate, I'm just starting out myself. What % is good for brick and concrete houses?
@@TheTacticalHouse this was 2 months ago, you're a bit slow mate.
Hi Jason thanks for the info!! I have issue with a brick wall who has a efflorescence fungus I’m used SH, I’m wet before applying but nothin happens, any chemical recommendation or advice for? Thanks
you need something like F9 efflo
Just to understand, when you say use 1.25% for etc. What you mean is to put 1to 10 ration of Pool Shock with water. For example 1 gallon for pool shock 12.5% plus 10 gallons of water gives you 1.25%?
I use 15% SH and pull out of a 30 gallon bucket. How much should I use??
Very helpful for an absolute beginner, but I didn't here a ratio on brick I'm assuming 2-6% ?
Have you tried using foam cannon to soft wash vinly sidings? If so, whats your mix ratio on the foam cannon bottle for vinyl siding?
Thanks
From what I've seen it's either 50:50 and up, with the bleach being the higher ratio
What kind of detergent to use with mixing sh and water so it can stick jason
What do your ratios read out on a gf metering valve
What percentage sh for decks and cedar shakes?
I do 50% water 50% sh with my XJet what % does that put me at? Awesome video!
I think most x jets pull a 4 to 1 ratio so if you you had 12.5% chlorine at a 50/50 mix already that would put you at a 6.25% solution and after it went through your xjet that would put you at a 1.5% chemical being applied to the house.
I ordered the mixing valves from your link . I had been batch mixing with 3/4 braided hoses running to the inlet of 5.5 gpm 12 volt and spraying with 5/8 flexilla. The mixing valve set up has 1/2 running to my 12 volt inlet. If I change that 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch will it mess up the flow coming from the valves?
yes I did the same 3/4 water..3/8 soap...1/2 bleach will work(but consider length of hose)
If I have 10 gallons of 10% SH at a 3% ratio, how much would that cover? I got a huge job and I want to make sure I have enough because I have to hunt around for chemicals..
I have an Xjet... How do I mx? To clean stocco
I've got a 20% downstream.. I'm tired of pump spraying when I need a hot mix for a deck or stone.. how can I get a hotter mix spraying out of my gun?
will HS damage any glass, plastic or roof or paint
What is the mixing ratio to get 3 to 6 percent
Might be a silly question, If your SH did go weak from sitting, can you add shock tabs to increase its chlorine levels again.
It can leave a white residue
When l was a groundskeeper I'd haunt the entire rental property with a gas powered pressure cleaner.....l discovered 1 part bleach to a pump up sprayer did the work quickly, comfortably and saved the management money on water and fuel.
i say it did and was cleaner when done
What about this on asphalt
Downstream injectors with 30% mix are available everywhere. (with 5-8 gallon flow)
12.5% x 30% gives a ~ 4% mix at spray tip.
Can you help me out with one thing? I've been down streaming but currently got a soft washing system. For a house wash/surface cleaning mix on on a 26 gallon tank, how much 10% gallons of over the counter pool shock should I mix in it? Trying to do a 26 gallon mix. 5 gallons ok? I'm a bit confused.
@@poisondaddy 26 x .30 = 7.8 (for 3 % mix)
I have a 5 gallon jug of sodium hypochlorite in my garage I’ve had for 3 months. How long does it takes for Sodium hypochlorite to degrade?
Hello! I want to pressure wash my kitchen, it's a typical naga kitchen, which means we use fire 🔥 wood in our daily cooking. So my kitchen is build of wood, and has been stained/ blacken by the smoke. Can I use pressure wash on wood and what type of chemical should I use. NP, the wood in my kitchen has never been painted
What surfactant do you use
How do measure in percentage? What's the water to SH ratio
How do I know how much a percentage is. I have a gallon pump sprayer
i will be down streaming and pretreating driveways and sidewalks for whats the math to get to 3% thank you
Ty
Thank you for your video. Can SH discolor the roof or the siding? If you’re not using a downstream which adds waters, what’s the water ratio? Like 5% means 5% per gallon?
The 5 % would be the sh per the content of the the container so 1/20 ....also it is possible to remove oxidation and cause " striping if you use too much pressure chem may remove it and cause run lines so you chem bottom up and rinse top down
@@daviddemerly7919 it depends on the strength of the bleach. Bleach from home Depot is about 10 percent strength. So 5 percent strength would be half water half bleach through a softwash system.
I am doing a brick church with mildew all over it how much water to used how much Bleach
About how many gallons of sh for an average size house like a 1500 to 2000 square foot house? Thanks.
Where do you get the sh test strip ? Thanks Jason
I believe you can get them from Amazon
What about windows Will streak or spot
If 3% of 10% of SH mix safe on window’s? And will it kill plant’s? Please and thank you 🙏
What do you use to remove cobwebs and bugs on Hardie boards?
A good surfactant
Got a quick question were you Jason do you know why the SH turns Orange ?
when you spray it on this siding And it's hard to come off?
Rust
Is 6 percent bleach do you go 60 bleach 40 water? Or you times 6 percent by the amount your chemical tank can hold? Like you have a 25 gallon tank times 6 percent?
let say if downstream maximum is 1.5% 10-1 I use 15% SH, if I use Xjet 15% and I want 5% SH for roof, do I just make it 2 part water 1 part SH ? or the XJet will dilute 50/50 after my batch mix is done?
You're gonna go straight in your bucket because if you dilute it down, you won't be near enough
Does SH start degrading from the time it is produced or from the time the container is opened?
I believe from the time it’s produced. Because if it sits in the bottle too long even unopened it will start dying
I'm using 3400psi 2.3gpm pressure washer to downstream with 15 gallon chemical tank to downstream out of w/10%SH so do I need to mix water in with my SH tank or just leave it raw to mix with water coming through hose? Thanks in advance, Brad
Hey Jason I've been downstreaming for a bit now but I recently bought an xjet m5 I have a 5.6gpm with 2500psi should I pull straight SH with surfactant? Or dilute the SH in the carboy? Should I use a color tip for my xjet?
I would dilute it down and spray it that way versus using the color tips
Using 20% downstream SH would give you what dilution? Appreciate your video's, Thx!
.2 x your sh percentage. 10 x .2 = 2%.

watch the whole video
@@quikxfl is he referring 20% to a 20:1 downstream injector?
@@kylehughes6324 yes. Multiply .2 times the concentration of your SH to get your mixed concentration.
You pretreat and post treat with 3-4%? I’ve always downstreamed and it doesn’t really help much. Contemplating running my softwash system
I'll just do the house wash mix
what surfactant do you recommend for siding and roofs?
Snotmenade can be used for both applications.
Any kind of soap based product the surfactant is really the least important, although I do like the idea of a darker color so you can see where your spraying so you don't cause overspray
I bet if you have a class A CDL with a hazmat endorsement you can haul more SH. I’ll have to look into that because I’m very curious. I currently have a class A CDL
Yes you are right. You don't even have to be class A. Over 100 gallon it has to be placard at that point
@@kingofpressurewash hey while we are chatting about chemicals, have you researched using sodium hydroxide caustic beads for doing concrete surfaces say at like, gas stations etc.?
i have a one gal pump sprayer i plan to use on my house . how much SH of %10 to water do i add?
3 quarts water, 1 quart sh
What do you mean by 4-6%??
Great video in great information, but you never said anything about how much sh/bleach is needed!!
You said roofs are cleaned at a ratio of between 4% and 6%, say an average of 5%. Based upon that, how much ice would be needed for a typical job?
Quick One.. roughly how much water per gallon is needed per square foot of housing? thanks.
A lot usually it takes about 300 to 500 gallons of water
After using SH through a downstream injector what product would you use through the downstream injector to clean it after use ?
Mu understanding thus far is to use H2O and flush flush flush it
Different tip like a jrod will cut off the soap and allow for water only
Any recommendations for fence wood
I'm currently building my 5x8 trailer and I'm having hard time deciding if I should build a batch mix single tank system which would be a lot cheaper and less space taken from the trailer. OR to spend a lot more money to build a blend system. Doing commercial work, can I get by with a batch system?
you just batch mix but here a liitle cheaper way of building that valve th-cam.com/video/SdnyKxtPgBA/w-d-xo.html
@@kingofpressurewash I appreciate the good advice sir. But before I decide on a 2 valve system instead of a 3, will there ever be a mix solution that will require me to turn down my water or in 99% of jobs, the water will remain on full? thanks!
@@eknight101 water stays on 99 % of the time
@@eknight101 Also you only need the third valve if you want color
@@kingofpressurewash thank you. I'll be doing the cheaper version of the mixing valve. So I might as well do all three valves since, doing 2 vs. 3 valves will only save me about 30 bucks or so. One more question tho and I'll leave you alone...can you use high pressure hose reels for regular garden hoses and softwash hoses? Thanks
Hi. I'm just starting my PW business. I would like to know if there's a way to measure how much SH to water ratio when you're trying to do a certain percentage? Thanks for your informative video.
th-cam.com/video/Y8I_hQW86TY/w-d-xo.html
I recommend this video
Divide, the percentage you want by the percentage strength of the bleach. Remember chemical injectors inject at a 4:1 ratio. So if you fill your tank all the way with 10 percent chlorine from home Depot and you use a chemical injector you will have 2 percent strength bleach coming out of the pressure washer. If you want it to be stronger, you need to use a softwash system.
@@ZainAhmed-ns2di also does every pressure washer come with a chemical injector that runs a 4:1 ratio?
@@loganmunting no. Plus not all ratios are 4:1
Jason got a Question for you I got something from your store I seen Flexzilla Pro Air Hose what was you using that for. Thanks
For water fed pole
@@kingofpressurewash Thanks Jason
How did you get your downstream to 4-6 percent? If you soft washed, how did you get the solution that high up on the YMCA?
a downstream can only do 1.25 to 1.75 percent. we used a 12 volt forthe ymca
@@kingofpressurewash Thanks. The 12v reached the top just fine?
Wish I didnt get a downstream now . Just bought it 15hp 4gpm 4000 psi. Will I be able to do cedar siding with 1.5 ? And the guy I bought my machine off of . Said I can just run the chem through the pump ro get more strong chem?
You can get an xjet to get stronger
@@kingofpressurewash ok thanks alot should I use the x jet on cedar or is 1 per good enough?
I'm brand new to ALL of this, so please bear with me. I "assume" your pre treating the surfaces with the SH and that's the percentages you're giving. So, are you using a different hose to put the SH on and how do you know how to figure out the percentages? Example: If you do a roof at 6%, do you fill a "jug" with water and then calculate how much of the SH to add to the water, to get the 6%? Thanks in advance.
Down streaming comes out at a 5:1 ratio I’ve been told. So 12.5 in a bucket being pulled by your injector is really 2%. Might be ok for a driveway but that’s why people use pumps and soft wash systems rather than injectors when doing house washes or roofs. But I’m new to this also I just purchased a battery powered back pack sprayer that I’ll mix my bleach with water prior to get my result so if I wanted 6% I’ll mix 2.5gallons of sh and 2.5 gallons of water since I have 12.5.
@@ArmedAngler how has that worked out is that a good application to pre treat ? Any other recommendations I’m new to it all also
Divide, the percentage you want by the percentage strength of the bleach. Remember chemical injectors inject at a 4:1 ratio. So if you fill your tank all the way with 10 percent chlorine from home Depot and you use a chemical injector you will have 2 percent strength bleach coming out of the pressure washer. If you want it to be stronger, you need to use a softwash system.
@@ArmedAngler it's usually 4:1 but it's important to check the label because I have seen some freaky ratios
How about a metal roofing how much SHC to a gallon of water
Love your videos. But you cracked me up when you said to put the tip of your finger in and see if it turns white. Please don't go around telling people this. Bleach is a very strong oxidizing agent at 6-12%. Since people probably don't have test strips laying around how about suggesting some strips from an old blue towel or something and see how long it takes to turn that white? Anyway I love the videos aside from the finger test 🤣
Do you mix the 4-6% sh to 1 gallon of water?
Downstreamed it straight bleach
I don't get it but gallons off water??
I'm a little confused if anyone could answer my question.. So if I bought that 12.5% jug of SH and poured half of it into a separate empty container then filled the other half with water I would have a half jug of 12.5% and one full jug of 1.5%
You would have a half jug of 12.5% and a full jug of 6.25% because it is diluted by half. (12.5%SH / 2 = 6.25%)
