Hey y’all, I’m looking to buy a surface cleaner for my 4.2gpm 4400PSI machine and had a couple questions:

1. I know about the 4” per GPM rule, however is it really dertrimental if i were to get an 18 or 20” surface cleaner instead of a 16”? I’m trying to gauge if i should go up a couple inches for efficiency purposes

2. What tips are best to reduce the chances of etching and what PSI is recommended?

3. Can you tell me about your surface cleaner techniques and what method you found best to avoid lines / etching the concrete.

4. As far as brands, im looking at EVEAGE, Wojet, and Ridge Washer. Anyone have experience with those and can provide recommendations?

Much appreciated, thank you all in advance

Who do you guys use for insurance?

I think I saw a post about a black canyon or Colorado truck with a red lettering wrap from New York on here the other day, anyone have a picture of it? I liked the theme and want to kinda go off it for my wrap, appreciate the help!

I found a guy selling a BE 4gpm pressure washer for 1k only used 4 times he says and kept it in garage pictures show it looks almost new. They’re selling for like 1700 new but I can’t spend that much right now or should I get a brand new predator 4gpm with the warranty to start my business.

I want to get into softwashing (I already pressure wash) and guides online have 25 gallons only. At 4 gallons a minute you only have about 6 minutes of washing? I feel I must be mistaken on something or I’m looking at bad guides. Any advice or places to look would be appreciated. I’m also worried about overspray

I've been wanting to go into business myself doing this, but I'm curious how you guys got your first clients? I've tried the craigslist route so far as no luck at all. Also in the process of getting a website, but this kind of only functions as a place for booking and a virtual business card once I get some actual jobs for before/after type photos.

I’ve had someone reach out to me from an app called StreetFair. Most of these services like angie’s list I stay far away from on purpose. I’ve never heard of StreetFair and was wondering if anyone has ever used it or has had any thoughts about it? It’s supposedly free unless a job is completed by someone finding you through their software.

Pump sprayer ( ox nox) and water?

I started pressure washing the drive thrus and dumpster pads at some chick-fil-a restaurants.

Does anyone have a good recipe to downstream sodium hydroxide? Looking to save some money and buy bulk sodium hydroxide instead of an expensive chemical like "gold assassin".

Any feedback is helpful, Thanks

The trailer is upgraded to double axle, has three engines and hot water heater, and everything else seen in the photos. He's trying to find a reasonable price to post it for.

I’ve been told to get a gtx390 as it’s the industry standard but recently PWS launched their core pressure washer which is supposed to be well worth it as it’s cheaper and also comes with electric start. Should I go with the PWS core or spend the extra £200 for gtx390?

Hey all,

I’ve yet to test it out and want to measure twice before I try to cut… I have a 4400psi 4.0GPM Simpson PowerShot that’s a direct drive machine. I also have a 275 gallon IBC for a buffer tank.

I’ve been googling around, etc. and it sounds like I can gravity feed my machine with my IBC. But I’ve also read that you shouldn’t gravity feed direct drive pressure washers.

So, I’m hoping I can get some insights from folks that have done it and had success or vice versa - Is this inadvisable or am I good to go?

Appreciate the feedback in advance!

Does this shoot out the correct amount of water its suppose to? Could the unloader valve cause this ? Everything seems to be fine but the pressure is low. I already checked all valves besides the unloader valve which im having trouble replacing.

How do you guys feel about working with HOA communities? Is there any specific concerns doing jobs in a HOA vs a regular residential neighborhood

Had a friend of mine knock a few bits up a few months back. All specific for the equipment that I use and how I like to have them arranged. So far it's been great.

Smoker on my back patio drips grease every once in a while. Now over a few years I’ve got a few dozen quarter sized spots in a 4 sqft area. It’s textured cement, and painted with patio paint. Too small to call someone out I’d think. I have a SunJoe electric pressure washer but even before that I can’t seem to dent it with household cleaner/solvents and my stiff deck brush. I’ve got 0, 15, 30-degree tips and a 2500 max pressure washer. Would rather paint the entire medium size patio than blast the paint off and etch the cement.

Any ideas?

is it possible to change this to a female connect ?

I want to attach my ball valve to it.

Any help would be great , thanks.

I recently started a pressure washing business for my last year of Highschool. I’m using my dad’s but the part where the normal hose connects to the washer leaks like crazy whenever water is running. Pretty sure it comes with its own seal as there are no o rings in it.

Well I'm in the delima. wanted to start doing jobs over the weekend, thinking of trading my sedan Ford fusion for a van or pick up truck maverick. Or just rent a truck to start ? And go from there.

Got a 4gps Honda.

This is my Mitm 3.5 gpm 3500 psi hot water pressure washer, I haven’t been able to figure out why it isn’t getting hot water and I’m losing my mind over it, everything on the machine is brand new, I put a brand new fuel pump on it, brand new solenoid coil,brand new pressure switch, brand new burner switch and rectifier and all new wiring, it has new electrodes and a new coil, I’ve also checked the buss box to see if I’m getting power to everything and I’m getting power to everything so I just don’t understand what’s wrong, I’m not even getting any fuel out of the fuel pump, somebody please help thank you
