The latest problem is how much copper is in the charging leads. They are going round early morning and pinching them and selling them or getting £60 of copper out of them.  They even chop them like what happened at Porsche & Merc garages and caused £80k worth of damage. Guy in USA woke up and had to buy a new one because it took the young guy 13 seconds to steal it. $2700 it cost him for a new one. I think hybrid is the real winner out of the RV revolution.

Buying a scaffold tower could save you money since you're doing a lot of roof cleaning, especially on bungalows in Norfolk. Consider looking for used ones on eBay to keep costs low.

Here's one

You always get more info off USA sites - so you get 20% chemical - if my maths are correct you would use 2.1 litres of Hypo a min
which would give you 1.4% strength


Max Pressure: 5500 PSI
Max Temperature: 190°F
Up to a 10% injection draw rate
Made in the USA
Orifice: 2.2 mm
Flow Rate: 3.0 to 5.0 GPM
Inlet: 3/8" NPT-M
Outlet: 3/8" NPT-M
Hose barb: 1/4"
Materials: Stainless Steel
Weight: 0.25 lbs.



Or this - you can buy them to mix from 1% to 5%
already has a qr to fit on the lance and another qr for the nozzle

Stainless Injector with couplings (Blue, Red or Clear pipe)
High quality stainless steel foam injector including stainless steel quick couplings. Dosage orrifice plate at required % with pick up tube and strainer.
(Different orrifice percentages at 1% to 5%)

No you put the feed tube directly into a barrel - it will draw at the prescribed rate mixing just before the nozzle

OP - your not really listening - as Stoots said your itching to blow 4k regardless

Splash has already said 21 lpm is enough and he does a fair bit of work - I've never needed more than this either maybe if you get a contract on the rigs or something....

You can get a great set up for around 2k - and thats if you really want to have a fsc as well - I only use them on tarmac and concrete
which is about 5% of work that comes in.

You could spend that 4k and the machine sit there week in and week out - that monies gone where as 2k leaves you 2k for leaflets - advert - web page should you need it

Any idea what it is ?

are there a lot trees around it ?

Hypo would be my next go to - unless its like a tree sap or you might want to use a large non scratch pad on a holder - bit like bronze wool

If you are spending that kind of money may as well get a GX630

https://jetmac.co.uk/shop/ols/products/honda-gx630-with-comet-30lt-pump-electric-start

although it seems a bit overkill for driveways, i paid 1300 for my 21lpm loncin dont see why i would need more


Do you know how much fuel they drink ?😂😂😂

The guys on a mission to blow 4k to get into pressure washing I doubt he cares .

Just the one side needs cleaning. I had a go at it today and failed miserably. I sprayed it with Virosol and it didn't touch it. It doesn't matter if chemicals are used as the drain off is to the ground.








Hypo mix , smaller brush so you can apply more pressure and hot water
