@rubbertears1328 3 ай бұрын

If you have a 5 gallon bucket you mix 2.5 bleach with 2.5 water plus a bit of surfactant (dawn dish soap works well). You’ll get a 5% mix that way

@rubbertears1328 3 ай бұрын

assuming you have 10% SH

@below_averagetv7259 Ай бұрын

To get 5% you’re gonna have to actually run a soft wash setup. You can make one for under 300 bucks. Or just fill a pump sprayer with straight SH, one area will be fine but I can tell you back packing a whole house is a pain in the ass lol

when I attach the downstream injector to the same exact pressure washer it doesnt pull that much, should I cover the old hole where the stock pump is. or do you think its an issue with the injector I bought

You can’t run bleach through any pump that’s why we use a down stream injector because it allows the bleach to enter the hose after the pump

@user-be8rd1pt5b 10 ай бұрын

@@stuff_i_liked1815 speculation here, but the rinse tips flow more gpm than pressure tips. That higher flow creates the suction needed for the injector. The pressure tips slow the flow to create pressure and you don't get enough suction to pull soap. Someone please correct me if I'm off base.

Mine came with a clear hose attached to it. Anyway, when I let off my gun, water shoots out of that brass barb. Should I attach it to a buffer tank or am I doing something wrong?
