Joe just wanna say thank you for always showing us viewers Excatly what your using and how your doing things i hope i can get my ducks in a row soon to get away from my job and work for myself
Really washing like a Super Pro now Joe! I'm very happy for you. Super fast and super efficient, no extra batch tank, no waste of time mixing, etc. Nicely set up now! And you're very lucky you don't have to worry about all those fancy plants around the houses, like we have around here. 👊👏👏👏
Awesome documentation! Will have the same skid next year. Decks are so tedious to do. now I know why people don't like to wash them, but still, I have 2 of them to clean this week, that F250 I wanna get it's not gonna pay itself! Thanks for video.
Joe this is an old post so I don’t think you’re going to see this. I’m just getting into pressure washing but I’m certainly not a young guy. Out of all the CZcams channels I watched you’re at the top of the list, you are the top of the list. Thank you so much for your great contact and I hope I can secure your services as a mentor as I move forward. Alan
Great content and awesome downstream set up, I'm getting a blend manifold set up this coming week and can't wait to be able to just dial in the mix instead of batch mixing. great job Joe. Get after it.
You literally did everything I suggested... Except the 8 gpm pump haha. Good stuff. Glad to see you're paying attention now you're ready to roll... almost (8gpm) lol
@@EdgeRoofCleaningCanada usually we keep up no problem but at least once a week we hit a really slow we’ll. 8 just isn’t optimal right now. Next season I hope to have more water capacity
Tried all the shooter tips, now I guess I’m gonna have to try this one too 😂 ordered before I finished the vidjia 😂 hope it works better than the other two I have! And I hate trex decking. Never get the results that satisfy the OCD!
I need to set my trailer up just like you have your truck because I’m digging that proportioner hooked up to the injector AND the 12v I’ll have to brainstorm how you ran all the plumbing to pull both into the proportioner
So the proportioner valves go to straight SH , Water , and soap tank.... the proportioner OUTLET goes to a three way ball valve. One direction on the ball valve goes to the 12v which then goes to the softwash hose reel. The other direction on the ball valve goes straight to the chemical injector ?
That Super Sud Sucker is awesome. I use it with Stainless Steel Airless Downstream Foam Wand from Powerwash.com and get thick foam. Great for getting thick chem on the roof or any real dirty surface.
Love your videos!! great content!! my favorite out there!! Question?? So, when switching all valves to downstream so you can draw SH & surfactant. Does the SH & Surfactant come together at the 3 way valve?
Another awesome video! Why do you have a 3 way valve coming from your soap tank? I know one goes to the proportioner. Where does the other one go? Also, where did you get the brackets to hold down your banjo valves? Are those just standard U brackets from Lowes or are they made for the banjo valve?
Very educational video. question I am new to pressure washing let me add. I have a soft-wash setup with 3 metering valves you are saying I can turn the water off and use soap and Sh only how I would only get a 2% mix with just soap and Sh and no water where did the Sh get weaken please explain so I have a clear picture. of what I need to do correctly thanks
How much of straight elemonator would you put in bleach tank if you didn't have the separate soap tank? I thought I heard you say like 1 oz per gallon of bleach awhile back, is that right? Ex: 50 oz of straight elemonator to 50 gallons of bleach to downstream?
What is the reason for the 3 way ball valve? Is 1 inlet to downstream, the other to softwash pump? Can you use check valves instead so you don’t have to manually select system? Thanks!!
Joe your videos are great...1 question? Is your Gen2 drawing soap and sh thru your proportioner feeding your sudsucker or is the venturi effect strong enough to draw soap and sh on its own...thanks
Ok. I'm gonna ask the dumb question. How are you pulling 2% when you have your water turned off? Or better dumb question..everything goes through the proportioner...right? If you have your water off...where's it coming from out of the wand? Nice to see the progress and mad respect for taking the time to set your own rig up.
Hey Jim. Yes when Downstreaming through the proportioner water is added by the pressure washer. So water off on proportioner. Pull straight shock. My super sud sucker injector gets me 2% at the tip. So SH wide open on valve mixed with water from the pressure washer gets me 2%. If I then turn the sh valve down I can reduce the % at the tip
Is the proportioner upstream of the pump like most people set it up? If so, like most people, when you’re off the trigger and proportioner has sh on, sh goes to buffer tank, and later to your hair and hands at your wash station. So maybe your hair isn’t really blonde, it’s bleach blonde, haha. Be careful!
I saw your Down stream injector video, I couldn't find on the web a Davis down stream injector, is this sold by someone else...or did you use the wrong name Thanks.
Probably a dumb question, but how come you can only get a 2% mix with the downstreamer but got all the way up to 6% with the 12volt? And as a follow up, is a 2% mix via downstreaming strong enough for shingle roofs? I'd like to start offering roof cleaning but don't have the capital to invest in a 12volt system yet
That’s what I figured… is my math right in thinking that running straight 12% SH through a Super Suds Injector (they claim 33%) should leave me around 4% mix at the tip? I’m trying to figure out a decent way to do roofs until I can buy a soft wash setup
@@powerfulimprovements ya I’ve got no doubts that I will need to get a 12-volt sooner rather than later, but I want to try and make do until then. A 4 GPM is what I’m running right now, so maybe I’ll get away with it somewhat for the time being

@@powerfulimprovements Are these the ones that hold up to bleach really well?
Hey Joe what's the model of that DS injector and size? Well done buddy!
Where do you buy the little manifold block from?? I can’t find it myself
Great explanation on your set up, is there an advantage of belt drive or direct drive pumps?
Belt drive operates the pump at a lower rpm and draws water. Lasts longer and is better with buffer tank. Direct drive typically needs force fed water
@@powerfulimprovements thanks!
Joe, do you use the 4gpm or 8gpm Davis Shooter Tip with your machine? Thanks,,, great video 👍

That’s about right
Joe, what's the other banjo valve for? Your old batch mixing line or 12v pump flush?
The other banjo is tied into the same pump and is used for chemical transfer up onto the rig and flushing
When using a proportioner, Do all the feed lines, sh, water, and soap, need to be the same length?
No sir
Hope you had your cougars on today Joe? I ordered mine last week and wore them today first time, they felt weird lol
Regular boots today. Thought about the cougars. Just wasn’t worth the swap
What is the reason for the 3 way ball valve? Is 1 inlet to downstream, the other to softwash pump? Can you use check valves instead so you don’t have to manually select system? Thanks!!
Yea. Switch. I’m not sure about check valves
I thought you were going to put some kind of shower head on your ladder rack for washing or emergencies.
I am. It’s in the works
Joe your videos are great...1 question? Is your Gen2 drawing soap and sh thru your proportioner feeding your sudsucker or is the venturi effect strong enough to draw soap and sh on its own...thanks
When you select the downstream injector on the ball valve it is drawing from the proportioner on it own. Venturi
Joe, so do you use the same proportioner for downstreaming and for your 12v?
Yea sir. On a 3 way valve
What chemical can I use to remove rust on concrete and brick?
F9 Barc is my go to. But you can buy Rust Aid at Lowe’s. Works pretty good

Hey Mike. Proportioner is upstream of 12 volt yes. But downstream of power washer. So no chem goes into buffer off trigger. I went white at 35 😂🤷🏼♂️

Yea, it says no product listed. He's probably out..
Where did you get that mounting block for the ds injector bypass setup?
And the ball valves for switching from ds to softwash at the proportioner?
So the highest or hottest mixture you can spray is 2% with the down streaming? What are you starting with, 10%? (SH)
12.5
Please help me understand.
I thought down stream was 4:1.
@@cfuzzkennedy What equipment are you running? Have you done any draw testing?
Is the Davis shooter tip for just rinsing? Or does that pull soap
It's a soaping nozzle for long distances. Can also be used for rinsing when downstream injector is bypassed.
Pulls soap. If you want to rinse put your drop stick in plain water
Yes pulls soap and used to rinse with soap bypassed
Joe... will the Davis shooter tip rinse well just hooked into a powerwasher on garden hose supply or even a buffer tank?
@@mikeschmitt7616 yes absolutely
