How do you guys get chemicals to flow through your pressure washer. To get any chemicals to flow through the wand, I have use the soap tip witch is very low pressure, and it doesn't do anything.

Or do you guys wash with a brush or how do you do you it.

I just normally use a brush and add the chemicals to a bucket and then let it soak, come back and wash it off.

soap tip with a downstreamer will get about a 10% mix of chemical but the downstreamer normally has a valve that you can open and close right where the chemical hose attaches to it, are you sure that you have it open? and are you waiting long enough for the chemical mix to flow from the injector to the wand? also, do you have the proper sized soap nozzle?

I have this one from Home Depot http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs...oductId=100615527&N=10000003+90101+528343+985 So I am not sure if I have the setting right on it. It came with soap tip and it works great, but there is just no pressure.

Do they make tips or anything that can still suck from the soap hose or no. Because I can add the pressure tip 25 degree tip and nothing comes through.

Without a doubt, all the best pressure washing equipment is found at home depot. I just made a rookie mistake and ordered one through Pressure Tek.

Why, whats wrong with that one. Not as good as Home Depot's.

Definitely not. I way overpaid compared to that.

Plus mine is reconditioned so I got it at good price of $150.00 Works great. I went out and bought an hour meter and I have already got 2.5 hours on it.

Seriously dude, I spent 10 times that much, and its not even reconditioned. I have to hope that the original conditioner they had in it was good. I feel like a real jackace now.

See you can afford the higher end ones. I can't. Mine was just setting there calling my name. I looked at it and bought it, for 2600psi, gets the job done for me. What size did you just get.

I got 4000 but thats ridiculous since the pro washers recommend we not use more than 1000. I got hosed, no pun intended.

 

[seversonspainting]

None taken. I would be able to blow a hole through a wall at 4000psi. You must do a lot washing decks and house to need something that high.

I hope it works out good for you though. If all else fails, send it back and buy a rigid or Husky from Home Depot.

Ok. And are you sure you didnt take any pun to what I said?

 

[seversonspainting]

Yeah, unless i am thinking about something else what you mean by "pun". I think I am on the same page as you are with that one.

As usual sev, we are like the two longest bristles out on the front edge of the cutting brush.
