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 ::)roll

User error ::)roll

Can you train me ?

At one with the force you must be...
If set up badly the dark side your FSC will join :)
-
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
-
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 ) !
-
Whats your flowrate?
Im faster with an fsc than just a turbo.

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.
-
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.
-
What about cleaning up the overspray.

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

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 😢
-
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

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.

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.
-
Mosmatic 21 inch
-
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

Go to 62 LPM 300 Bar stand on the fsc cover and pull the trigger! One hell of a game haha ;D
-
What price you gonna do me one for Ben ??? ;D
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 ;D ) still he couldn't deny your machine did a cracking job ( but it could just be it had a good operator ;D ;D )
-
Don't Karcher power all of their petrols with Honda? They also use Interpump on their most expensive machines..... :D
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?
-
Is that the best you can do.....? ;D
Well I did think that, but who's to argue with a customer !
Not yet, ::)roll 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 :-X
Darran
-
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 :)
-
Ben what's the spec on that?
-
We will see, what's a new gearbox or pump between us friends ! ;)
Darran
-
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 ;D
