Does anyone rinse with di water only no product in tank if so does it re duse the risk of shrinkage to curtains
On curtains I use the shampoo method if risky
I sponge it on then take the residue out with vac on no pump
-
DI or RO water will make no difference to the risks of shrinkage. (Short answer😉)

Mike is correct the pureness of the water makes no difference, btw how are you applying the foam?

Just using a bucket and wringing it completely out and rubbing it in with a sponge before hand I do a very good vac

Don’t get me started!!...... had a right nightmare before the lockdown did 3 separate long distance trips to pick up machines only to find the seller (EBay ) was a lying git ... Newcastle, Luton & Oxford. each time the machine was not as described, one of the times I said I wanted to see it running, he said no problem but he said he couldn’t fill the water tank or start it.
Now Everything is on hold

What specifically are you looking for?
-
I want a 45-50hp engine driving a big pump with a shaft and belt ( not a gearbox) so I can fit another belt to drive a vacuum blower.
If you look at this machine on eBay, like this but with a blower instead of the 240v alternator it’s driving. I have a 12v burner that will run off the machine battery.

These machines tend to have hydraulic hose reels which is handy
-
So you’re making a truckmount with the vac power of an Everest, why the need for so much power for a pressure washer?
-
These machines are drain jetters which use massive pumps about 3-4000psi and flow rates at about 60l/min. they require a big engine to run them but for some reason they use engines that are too big. These pumps actual require about 28-30hp. They have a lot of spare power to run a blower.
Having a big pump is amazing for powerwashing, you can clean very fast ( if you have a big water tank or the outside tap has good flow) but you don’t need to use the full power.
I don’t understand why these Diesel engines are not used for truck mounts, they last longer and are much simpler in design. you can find 3-4 engineeers in any town that can fix them
