[Essex Power Washing]

[Smudger]

I can't speak for anyone else but I've soft washed with a pretreatment of algoclear on render did a great job.

Also hypo, leave to soak in wash off 30 mins later, quicker than algoclear

i get Hypo 15% solution would you use it straight from the container or dilute down if so what ratio

[Rob@Blast off]

Definitely dilute it and start from the bottom and work up

[Smudger]

About 3to1 - usually apply with x- jet

Heavy soiling 2to1

Darren, where did you get your x jet from?
I use an old pole at the moment.

[Smudger]

From the states, don't think anyone over here sells them 

Darran

[Rob@Blast off]

Thought that was the case 
Can you remember the total cost?

[Essex Power Washing]

any other mix with the Hypo , clinging agent or detergents !!

[Smudger]

Yes I put a cherry detergent in to help it stick and smell nice (er)

With tax, postage, customs etc about £110,  you could look, get in touch with hugh crane. (Paul) he was telling me they make something similar, but not really looked into as I already have the x jet

Do you actually spray hypo using a x-jet ?

What could possibly go wrong

This is something  I am really keen also to invest in, I have done a fair bit of research on the American sites and forums.  Also see 'shooter tips' which they have fitted direct to the lance handle and can reach 4 stories high for cleaning (soft washing) so no need for high lifts etc.

Think they have complete second set ups for this side of the buisness and use chemical pumps rather than pressure washers? The more I looked the more confused I got 😳


Thanks

Same ere mate, am just not sure what's  what.
It's all new to me. 

[Cowan]

Think there is a big market for this with commercial buildings and all these new build flats etc with the rendered finish with the correct set up (machine/pump/jet /solution).

Also not sure how the guys that do this regularly ensure any solution drift does not damage any grass, plants, vehicles parked near by etc! Need to ensure the solution rates are spot on, enough to clean efficiently but safe enough to use (spray from ground to heights)!

Anyone with experience of softwasing in UK willing to give advice and info would be great to hear, big ask I know 😜👍

Thanks

[Cowan]

Smudger  (or anyone with jet experience like Smudger) - from your experience would the x jet work well with my edge Grimebuster pressure washing rig, it's 200 bar (3000psi) and 15 Litres per min pump with boiler fitted for hot water option? What height would I be able to spray to?

Sorry for all the questions👍 is it just a case of attaching the x jet to a gun and putting the hose in the chem solution and away you go?

Also if I put the x jet chemical hose into a container with 15% SH and some cherry want kind of dilution would be provided at lance outlet? Or do you mix 3 water to 1 SH in a drum and then further dilute with the pump output? Finally at those dilution rates is that save for plants/grass etc (with obvious careful application and not just spraying all over the place!)

If you don't want to divulge all your knowledge from your experience then I fully understand  or if you would rather I called or PM'd you I am happy either way.

Look forward to any advice or guidance - thanks in advance
