Yes indeed. In Virginia we have nothing but 2+ story houses and rinsing with a bypass is a time saver! Rinsing is the most time consuming of a job and water flow without a bypass is super restricted. Also good job explaining the simple process of flushing out the injector. I typically turn the little three-way valve when I'm doing my final rinse of something small while keeping my injector engaged. This ensures the injector and injector hoses get flushed at the end. It's part of every job process and keeps me from buying 5 injectors during a season.

Knowledge is everything. I may not have a pressure washer with high gpm or even a bypass injector, but found this info very informative and will even watch it a few times to fully understand it. Years ago I was watching random videos that were recommended by KZfaq, unlike now it's more who I've subscribed to just bc of the time to watch them. What I'll say is some out there may do things the way they were taught or know what works. Having knowledge of why something do what it does is key I feel. That way when an issue arise, not only can you repair it, you know other ways to get the job completed too. I'm with you on being able to control the pressure with the tips as well. Very informative video. 👍🏽

Early early on when I was watching videos online, I noticed that not everyone use the same terms. SH = Sodium Hypochlorite = Chlorine = Higher percentage bleach. Which it really varies, I have seen some use 12.5% 10% or even gallon containers with 8%. But I didn't realize there was such differences in prices for the same product, so it make sense depending on what someone can get at the best price to get the job done at the part of the country they are in. Make total sense now. Even knowing surfactant is soap, everyone says it how they know it. Though I can't say I heard soap was also surfactant + SH. Lol Learning so much from you.

Gotta say I'm a big fan of x jet. My situation is a bit different though. I do a LOT of remote location work. pumping creek water kind of remote jobs. It's just easier to pull the hose. I'm one of those guys paying 4.65 / gal for 10% I site mix and give a spot option for scent cover. It sounds odd, but can really help to close tough sales in a "difficult" market. I do keep a downstream injector set for 2%. That's good enough for most bulk jobs in Oregon. Great points for folks getting into the business.

Hey Cliff, awesome content! Couple of questions if you don't mind. Is the downstream injector adjustable or fixed at a certain ratio? So the SH tank is full strength either 10 or 12.5% right? I've heard of the bypass before, but this was an AWESOME explanation of how it works in real life! Thanks again.
@PinkFlamingoPowerWash
@PinkFlamingoPowerWash Жыл бұрын
There are downstream injectors that are adjustable but No you would never reach full strength. Downstream injectors are meant to cut the sh down to 2% and below. Only way to achieve above that percentage is to have dedicated softwash system like a 12v pump, gas roof pump, or air diaphragm pump. downstreaming is the weakest form of chemical application that's why it works well on basic house washes, pool cages, fences, and pool screens. Most of the time that 1-2% mix will clean whatever you got lined up.

For the bypass injector. The plastic valve you have set up. Do you need to run some kind of pump in order to pull the water or chemical to the system or does it feed itself fine without it?

Thanks. Post treating is when you spray the chemical on the concrete after it's cleaned. It makes it cleaner and gets rid of any lines or tanning stains. No the bushes don't get killed cause the mix isn't strong and also the bushes gets rinsed as well to eliminate that.

Those machines are kind of finnicky, I use slo mo surfactant which is a professional grade surfactant but there are other on the market. Surfactant helps the SH to stick it doesnt clean anything. So cleaning with or without it will not make a huge difference. I have a 65 gallon SH Chemical tank so when i fill it up I just add a few ounces of surfactant in it.

So just putting the same percentage on all surfaces? What is your draw ratio?
@PinkFlamingoPowerWash
@PinkFlamingoPowerWash Жыл бұрын
@Jared Burke when I downstream yes. That's the weakest form of ratio for basic washing. So I use it for pool cages, house washing, pre treating concrete. It's about a 2%

Hey bro how often do you use your own water tank?
@PinkFlamingoPowerWash
@PinkFlamingoPowerWash Жыл бұрын
Like if someone doesn't have water? I've never done a residential job that the water was off. But I've done a few commercial jobs where I had to make multiple water runs cause there was no water on site. But I charged extra for each water run

But I’m shopping today so time to up grade lol.. if you don’t mind can you give me the info please brother I’ll highly appreciate it… the ball valve on the bypass is that the same one that’s on your p.w. Line? Dn10 thank bro for the info.. shopping time lol small little upgrades.. feel like a kid in a candy store 😂

No I got a jrod meant for an 8gpm. Then I added the Davis shooter tip for more distance. I got it from pressure washer products. The bypass comes with its own hose. Only think you'll need is your injector. Pressure washer products has those too.

@524 Pressure Washing the surfactant is mixed with my sh yes. It's like that cause I downstream houses and pool cages as well with it. I use an envirospec super suds sucker downstream injector.

wow youve already spent 10k on advertising but only got 7 bids? something needs tweaking. as far as pricing goes, a lot of variables change market to market. Those prices look pretty solid give or take in my opinion, maybe your customer targeting needs tweaking.
