Dude I ALWAYS upsell the house wash with all roof washes. I just explain to them the risks associated with overspray and the importance of house washing right after a roof wash. Also throw in a discount for the bundled service to make them feel all warm and fuzzy but yeah we never do roofs without the house tacked on. Maybe you can implement that into your business! Wish you luck brother 😊

Austin, you have probably been told this but you should put a 3 way valve below SH metering valve ( where it pulls the SH through) and connect it to you water tank. That way you can flush your SH metering valve while you clear your system. The existing set up you have is not rinsing anything besides the pump. Which is good but you should rinse your SH metering valve also so it last way longer. Real symbol trick to make your metering valve last much longer and truly rinse your system. I don’t with my soap metering valve because it doesn’t seem to effect it negatively.

Or use camlocks on your water and SH tanks to flush. Swap the line from your SH tank to your water tank using the camlocks, open up your SH valve all the way, and it'll flush the entire SH line with water.

@MannyAguilarJr
@MannyAguilarJr Жыл бұрын
@@shaun5450 it all depends on how close you can get to the house. And that max is just like when the length of hose puts enough friction loss on the flow of water that the psi level gets affected. That's why some people set up their pressure washer with 1/2" hose for the first 50 feet so there's less of that friction loss for the first 50ft if you only need 50ft or 150 ft (50' 1/2" then 100' 3/8")of hose to do the job. If you have a quick connect pressure gauge you can see how much psi the washer is putting out at the pump and then move the gauge to the end of the 100' or 200' of hose and see what the pressure lose is. Concrete cleaning needs 2500-300psi so if you're still at that range with 150 or 200ft of hose then you should be fine. From a friction head loss calculator I just used online 3/8" line doesn't have noticable loss until 366.5 feet for 4 gpm.
