Yes they look good in front of customers, but they are totally useless !    Every time I have attempted to use it, I always end up using a lance to clean where it has missed

Can you train me ?

[Ben Marriott]

At one with the force you must be...
If set up badly the dark side your FSC will join

[Jettaway]

What is it doing wrong?

It isnt some miracle tool that will clean every bit of moss and weeds from paving in a fraction of the time as a turbo.

If it is missing 'runs' then thats operator error

[samson]

My point is it's just quicker to use a lance, unless you have a 30lt + machine ( but would be impractical as you would be waiting around for filling ) !

[Jettaway]

Whats your flowrate?

Im faster with an fsc than just a turbo.

yeah but you still have to rinse and clean the edges ?

[Smurf]

I think this guy needs a lesson how to use one too.

Wrong nozzles, or not aligned properly. My FSC will clean so much quicker than a turbo, makes less mess, I rarely turbo much now other than edges.

Since getting a bigger machine the fsc is alot more effective.

[Tom-01]

We've used a FSC for pretty much every job..

Today we used just the turbo and it cut the clean time in half from normally using the FSC.

[Rob@Blast off]

What about cleaning up the overspray.

[Tom-01]

What about cleaning up the overspray.

We cleaned it off. You have to use a lance anyway when using the FSC.

[Neil Jones]

Tom if you have The correct machine, the correct FSC and nozzles there is no way it is quicker than a turbo. Most block we clean now the fsc just rips the most and weeds straight out. Then a quick rinse and turbo edges and the odd tough weed and rinse again.

Less mess and using an FSC is so much easier on the body than using a turbo on everything. I'd probably give up if I had to turbo everything 😢

[Smudger]

So what's your combination Neil ?

Machine, flow, pressure, what fsc and nozzles ?


Mine was set up specifically for my machine, it even lifts off the ground  slightly when on full power but it doesn't clean to the same degree as a turbo, chamfered edges, black spot, moss and weeds remain uncleaned or left behind, so I'm firmly in the turbo nozzle camp

Darran

[Rob@Blast off]

I used to turbo pretty much every job, now fsc every job then spot and rinse with the twin lance.

250@21 with 1503 nozzles, also i tend to just use one 30m length of hose direct to the machine as you know you will loose a bit using a reel.

[Smurf]

how much can you clean in under 10 mins?

If it's any consolation it's peeing down again tonight

[Neil Jones]

250 bar 21+ I use 025 on block and 03 on slabs or concrete. I generally run above 21+ litres though so that may make a difference.

[Neil Jones]

Mosmatic 21 inch

[Smudger]

Neil - you got a little more grunt than my set up, if I get something bigger in the future I'll revisit the fsc option

Darrran

[Ben Marriott]

Go to 62 LPM 300 Bar stand on the fsc cover and pull the trigger! One hell of a game haha 

[Smudger]

What price you gonna do me one for Ben 

Be careful did a roof clean for a karcher executive today ( just retired) he was very upset I was using Honda power !

Apparently he's been on to his best mate at head office who runs sales to test out some products ( I wait with baited breath  ) still he couldn't deny your machine did a cracking job ( but it could just be it had a good operator    )

[Ben Marriott]

Don't Karcher power all of their petrols with Honda? They also use Interpump on their most expensive machines.....
But yes the operator would have been the icing on the cake! - Have you sorted red machine pump/gearbox yet?

And is this big enough?

[Smudger]

Is that the best you can do.....? 

Well I did think that, but who's to argue with a customer !

Not yet,  it was needed today, but I shall take it apart tomorrow or Sunday - I just stuffed a bit more oil in it  - I don't think it will run much longer as its really loose now   

Darran

[Ben Marriott]

It's the biggest machine I have ever built - and to my knowledge there are only two using that pump in the UK. I know that the engine isn't made anymore! They are a right cow to build 50-60 hours work and - just so expensive.

Fun to do though I like the yellow.

I think you'll be lucky if it hasn't caused some real naughties :/ but I've got my fingers crossed for you

[Rob@Blast off]

Ben what's the spec on that?

[Smudger]

We will see, what's a new gearbox or pump between us friends ! 

Darran

[Ben Marriott]

It was 60LPM at 100 -275 Bar depending on the accumulator and the unloader valve which you could bypass manually - it basically had EVERY toy we could get hold of on it and the turbo sounded ace!

I'll use the catapult and aim it in your general direction Darren
