Thank you. Appreciate it.
Awesome thanks again Sir.
You bet!
@@PressureCleaningSch Sir, I am a homeowner with a 3 story home, I have a Simpson 2.5 GPM, I have the xjet, how can I increase my range? It doesn't reach the top areas. Thanks again Sir.
Nice👍
Very good video 😊
Greetings from the UK
Thank you. Thanks from checking in
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences. My 12yo son has decided to start his own business in the future and he eats your videos up! I do to because I want want to help him. Thank you.
Aww. So cool. Tell him I said hello. That’s awesome he wants to own his own business. I think I was that algae or a little younger when I knew that’s what I wanted to do.
Thanks Doug I will be buying some stuff and joining school need a side hustle which can become a great opportunity for my boy.
Thanks Ed, look forward to hearing from you.
“ starting off with the box, ummm… you get, ummm everything in the box” 🙄
Um, ya. I had know idea. Thanks for the detailed review. Lol!
I’m jus playin. Thanks Doug. Lots of Love Brotha
Thanks for passing on your wealth of knowledge 🤙.
I was just curious if I had an extra dedicated 30m of 3/8 Jetter hose (no steel to corrode) and gun at the end could I place the modified X-Jet were I connect this hose out of my trailer to my original hose and then have a small hose from the X-jet to bucket. It would be setup essentially like using it the same as a downstream injector but keep SH out of my original steel braided hose and hose reel swivel.
Would this still draw the same ratio’s listed on instructions or would the extra 20-30m of pressure hose wreck the suction draw?
Again, much appreciated Dougie !
Answered my question in the first 4 minutes. Thanks
Doug, the way you hunch forward at 8:33 holding something making your arms look smaller you look like Bradley BP Richfield from "Dinosaurs", and I say that affectionally as one of my all time favorite shows. Thanks for the x-jet info! about to order.
wow great video
Thanks!
good video thanks
Thank you
Great video I loved it one question though. What % bleach mixture do you use for cleaning house siding?
If you use a jrod with a xjet, will it shut off the mix if you use the "rinse" tips and turn on when you use the "soap" tips? Just as if the xjet wasn't connected?
Or do you just use the valve on the xjet hose to stop the mix from entering the stream?
Can you do a video or chart on mixing ratios for different jobs? stucco, vynal, concrete, everything! plz!
Great tutorial...I'm in Australia, and it's difficult getting started let alone paying over the top prices for equipment here. I dont mind purchasing from overseas as I use a US based mailbox service and I dont mind paying the exchange rate knowing I'm getting quality at a fair rate. Thanks again especially for the easy to understand tutorial. I'll be looking at purchasing your products as I know it will be workable. Thanks much...Kiwi in Oz
Funkeedadee, what state are you in ? Maybe I could supply you work !
I just did a test with my 4gpm PW and the Xjet I got 3 gallons after siphoning a gallon of water. So that should put me at about 4.1% if using 12.5 % SH
You're not far from me here in Houston. I get F9 barc and your kingslayer through you. Thank you!
Awesome. Thank you. Much appreciated
Great video, one of the best videos I have ever seen!!! Could you please let me know the j rod tips you used in this video? If x jet is modified like you did, could it be used to shoot the tops of roofs that my 12 volt system just can’t get? Thanks again great video!!!
0040,2540,2510. And yes it will probably shoot further than your 12 volt. Just depends on the gallon per minute of your pressure washer
@@PressureCleaningSch Thanks for the tips! :-) See what I did there?
Hey doug i love the videos. How do i get the filter end piece off that way i can connect to the bucket?
Cut the hose.
When using the X-Jet it’s usually a 4-to-1 ratio. When down streaming it’s roughly a 10-to-1 ratio. The higher number being water.
So assuming 12.5% SH that’s over 3%, you could roof wash with that.
Thanks for the video. What is the difference between this x jet vs down streaming. New and trying to learn thank you!
DS injector house at machine, reel, etc anywhere after the pump. X-jet goes at the wand. Few other differences but that the main ones
Do you need to clean the new fence somehow before staining? For some reason I can't find a clear answer anywhere, some advise just to powerwash, some to apply a fence cleaner before powerwash, some seems like don't do anything, just brush off w/huge brush and then stain. It is cedar fence I just put, but not sure about the question above. I would appreciate your professional opinion on this matter. Thank you for the great film.
Great video!! You said that modifying will lower pressure so will it lower the draw and if so what would the draw be in the modified state? Thank you
It won’t lower the draw.
Hi Doug,
Great video and explanation. I have a question what percentage of SH comes out the tip of the xjet using straight SH out of the bucket no proportioner ? I hear it’s 3% using 12.5 SH. I use 10% SH. Can you help me out with this. Thanks a million
Your pretty close. I’ve never tested it. I don’t use x jet very much.
Mr. Doug This is so nice of you to show us how to build a X-Jet Bucket, It this reason that I chose to purchase one from you. Im also looking forward to taking your class. My sweet wife had a heart attack three weeks ago but once she is back on track and healthy I will go ahead and sign up for the online course. Oh is there a time limit on the online class? Thank you again for your help.
First off prayers for your wife. Glad to hear she’s recovering going to be ok. There is no time limit on the online school. It’s a lifetime membership and you can watch whenever you want as many times as you want.
I have a dewalt 3600 can i use the soap injector to dispense the bleach since it doesnt go thru the pump? Also love the surfactant from yall 💪
Yes you should be able too
Thanks so much man, do you use the same ratio of bleach surfactant and water on every type of surface? Like wood , stucco and concrete?
Yes Klace. Pretty much. Rarely do I find that I have to change it for any surface.
Great video. Appreciate it. So let me see if I understand this. You mentioned however you dilute the SH in the bucket is pretty close to how it’ll come out with an xjet. So does that mean if you’re starting off with 12.5% SH and you put 50/50 Sh and water. You’ve got about 6.25% SH inside the bucket and by the time it goes through the PW and house water line it’ll still be 6.25% roughly? The house water line in the PW doesn’t dilute it anymore?
Yes it will dilute it some. I just, for me is how I do it. The X jet comes with a chart to help you with exact solutions if that’s what your wanting to figure out. I’ve never been one to do that. I just need it to change the color of the organic stains. If it does that I know it’s strong enough.
Hi Doug, thank you for the information here. I just got my xjet m5 in the mail, and water absolutely refuses to come out of it. I tore it apart and noticed the spring was under the orifice, stumbled upon your video, and put it back together correctly, still not luck, it just completely plugs up the machine here, I don't know what to do or what I'm doing wrong.
Not sure either without actually seeing but sounds like you may have just got a bad one. Orifice in first then spring. Then the plug.
Great video, as usual. Just one thing puzzles me -
If I create the desired output dilution rate in the bucket, wouldn't it be decreased by the addition of water through the pump?
What is the ratio of chemical from the bucket to water from the pump if no proportioner is used?
Yes, correct. Here is the manual with the guide for ratios you will get. Lot of variable play into those though. www.dougruckerstore.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/X-Jet-Instruction-Manual.pdf
Hi Doug, great video I really appreciate you. I have a question with that X jet how much SH will come out of it if I’m using straight 10% SH out of a bucket ? Thanks 🙏
I think it’s like 3:1. Depending on you flow rate I’ve never really tested it.
@@PressureCleaningSch so that would give him .125 solution or mix hitting the surface?
if I use a pump up sprayer. Can you tell me on a stucco house what bleach mix I should use. Also should I add laundry soap or some other product?
30-50% depending on how bad it is. Yes you can use laundry soap in a pinch I just would use it all the time and keep it off windows or rinse it quickly. I use this cause it goes a long way and is great on windows. www.dougruckerstore.com/products/dougie-fresh-surfactant-1-gallon/
Hello, thanks for the great videos. I have a 4200 psi pressur washer that is 4 gpm.
1. Do you have a shooter tips for rinsing 3-4 stories high .
2. and do you have a shooter tips for dispensing chemicals 3 - 4 stories high
Yes. The sling shot shooter tip will do both. You just have to have a way to switch from chemical to rinse. www.dougruckerstore.com/products/sling-shot-shooter-nozzle/
Great video, I believe I need to re build my modified x jet because it’s pushing water into my soap bucket and only sprays water.
Could also be wrong nozzle causing restriction.
Exact same problem here. 8gpm machine using no proportioner. Do I need to just use a 2560 nozzle? I was using a 2540.
@@toddluns1 I got mine off Amazon and they sent me one that wasn’t Strong enough for a 5.5 so I had to order a new orface or how ever you spell it. I put the new one inside the x jet and it’s worked ever since.
If I put a x jet tip on a modified x jet would I have the same effect and distance like using the j rod with the shooter tip ? Thanks for the great videos sir.
I’ve never tried it but I believe you would
I bought the modified gun today for pre and post treatment on flat surface and its a game changer for me after the pump up sprayer. If you're coming from a pump up just be sure your technique and hose control is good or you'll go through a ton more chemical. My black soap tip allows a bit less pressure than the m5 twist so i use that for SH, and the m5 for regular soap. Love this thing, ill be recommending it on all the forums.
Awesome. Glad you like it. Thanks Steve
I bought the Xjet gun from you Doug several years ago. Haven’t used it much. Maybe twice? I went to use it last week and for the life of me couldn’t get it to pull SH out of the jug. I use a Flowpro and bypass. In order to get it to pull soap do I need to go into “soap mode”?
The x jet can not be hooked to the flow pro X jet has to be used as a stand alone.
So when switching from a soap/chemical tip to a rinsing tip, will it automatically stop drawing Chems or do we need that switch that comes on the x jet hose. I’m buying a longer hose.
And just bought your modified. x jet gun sold on your website, mine i modified broke 😩
Doug, have you produced a video about an unloader bypass kit for pressure washing?
Actually doing one this morning.
Thank you for all your info. My pressure washer is a 2500 psi with a rate of 2.2 gpm max. Do you carry a shooter tip tha will work for that? Thank you in advance
Hi raymond, we have a TOST shooter tip that may work, but I highly doubt it. That low a gpm I doubt you'll get much height out of a shooter tip.
Thanks for the video. What's the minimum GPM pressure washer do you recommend for starting up for driveways and houses ?? Thanks again
4GPM and a belt drive....Check this for some ideas....www.dougruckerstore.com/products/pressure-washers-starter-bundle/#pressure-washer
Hey Doug got a question. I want to hook up my x jet polly 3/8" line on a reel. Can I use 100 feet? If it reduces pressure a bit that is perfectly fine. If so I'll order the 100 feet from you soon. And when I got the 25 ft line from you I didnt order the x jet ball valve. Im going to need that to cut off chems as I want to wet the surface before chem without changing guns. Thanks for all your help and quick responses. Dedicated DR customer for life.
Yes you can 100 ft.
Doug great instructional video, I'm just starting off n don't wanna have problems with time can u send me a link to order the xjet modified gun, the bucket, hose,downstream bypass valve to connect to my Simpson 4240, 4gal./ min, 4200psi and anything else that goes to that hookup, thanks

Looking for input. For 6 years I mix 1.5-2 gal. SH to 3-3.5 water and a squirt of dawn in X-jet pail. I use the beige perportioner when doing vinyl siding. Dies a pretty good job killing organics. Thoughts?
If it's working for you thats great. All you need is for the SH to change the color of the organics with out causing oxidation form being to hot. So if it's working for you no need to change anything.
Will the longer length of chemical hose create a pressure drop at the tip?
No it will not.
Hello Mr. Doug whats the best way to mixing a blech to wash a home I am beginer so please any help than you
Hey Doug, would you be able to tell me which cap you have on the back of the xjet pail system? The black screw on one. I lost the small white one that came with mine and am struggling to find a replacement
We have the white one. It’s available on our website too
What is your recommended mix for gloeocapsa magma on roof shingles? I am using a 4gpm machine and an xjet m5 with xjet bucket
Not sure. I'd never use an x jet for a roof. But I'm guessing I'd use full strength depending one the severity of staining.
It work good when you use 1/4 air line hose
I have heard that from a few that use 1/4
Can we use X jet on vinyl siding house
I have a down stream injector… as I finished applying my SH… I noticed that after rinsing the house down… my container was half full before I sprayed SH… but afterwards was filled with water? How did water get into my SH container?
May have the injector on backwards. Make sure the arrow on it is pointing towards the gun. Not back to the machine
Hey Doug if I extend my hose on my xjet from 15 ft to 50 ft will that give me a different ratio of sh on the house? Thanks
No. Won’t affect it
For your proportioners, if you put a quick connect where the Barb is, you can easily Change between portioners very Quickly. The Proportionerl fits right inside of the quick connect. No mixing, just Poor and go....!!!
Doug another amazing video . I think I’m going to fly to Texas to take your class in may .
When you were down streaming here and using the modified x jet , we’re you swapping out guns ? When you were using your bypass and downstream inv I noticed the x jet was connected at the bottom .
Also would it be possible for me to call you today . I’m outfitting an eco line to do down streaming, pressure washing , Window cleaning . Need a ton of equipment and would love your expertise .
Yes the xjet hose connects at the bottom of the xJet...when downstreaming I have to switch out guns. Call me anytime 2818833630
Yes the modified x jet required a dedicated gun doe the injector being on the gun. yes you can call me or email me pressurecleaningschool@gmail.com. sorry for the late response. Thought I had answered this already.
Hey Doug,I pressure wash fascia’s at shopping centers and some of my peaks are 80ft. Can I do the modified x jet and just use a 16 ft lance extension or will this alter the flow of the x jet??Iam in Florida and it’s stucco with black mold so I need at least 50% draw! Thanks for any input.
The Lance length will not alter the % or weaken the mix if that’s what your asking.
Doug, so the actual xjet tip is no longer usable once you modify it, correct? You have to use a jrod after modifying?
I’ve never tried it but some guys say they use it. We send it with the modified when we build them
Doug I just bought a 4000 Simpson pressure washer I don’t want to fry this thing once I release the trigger so how can I have the water run into a bucket or ground do you have a set up that I can buy of you guys before I fire this up thanks
If it’s belt drive you can bypass off the unloader. If not then you can get a ball valve set up and open when off the trigger. But, it in any case, relax, you can be off trigger up to a minute or so, plus it should have a relief valve to prevent damage to the pump. No need not to fire up.
How would that work with the xjet that don't have the twist nozzle
It wouldn’t.
Hi Doug. I just ordered and received my Xjet M5 (#9) with the xjet pale system. My question is, the xjet hose comes with the metal screen on the end of the hose so what do I attach to the male attachment piece that is on the pale system? Do I have cut my hose and remove the screen part and then slide that on to the barb hose fitting on the pale?
Yes. You got it. Cut that screen off and attach to the hose barb on the bucket
@@PressureCleaningSch Thank you Doug
What if you get longer hose to where maybe u can leave a bucket on truck or something so you don't carry bucket when you do half the house at least will it lower anything as far as as high it can shoot or Chem percent with it being long enough to not carry bucket around even less ?
I’ve used 100 feet before
I have two soft wash systems, both with 4gpm 4000 psi machines. We turn down the pressure and both units have 100ft of suction hose to the xjet. It siphons without issue. It will even siphon up on the roof when we have to get closer to peaks etc, albeit takes a few seconds longer for the solution to reach the nozzle. We do HOA condo buildings and townhomes with this system, and it's the only thing we use.
I am also going to try and use it for cleaning a 2 story hemlock wood siding house with the sodium per carbonate solution and then oxalic. Might try your modified to downstream🤷♂️
You'll love it
What sz is the modified gun on both ends? Great video, ty
3/8 inlet 1/4 out
Can I use an xjet with a normal 4gpm machine? No soft wash system?
Yes. You sure can. Just don’t use it for roofs.
Mr Doug I need a remote control downstream injector the shertzbox box with a extra remote when will you have anymore
We have them now
Does anyone know what purpose the spring behind the orifice serves?
The plug is tapered and does not reach the orifice. It keeps the orifice seated.
Can you install the xjet where the downstreamer is, to pull more soap?
No won’t work like that
@@PressureCleaningSch thanks
Hey Doug, Placed an order last week. Almost completely understand downstream and xjet purely from your videos. One question I have starting out is what do I do about my chems? I don't have a steady stream of customers. Would you just go to Lowes and buy gallons of bleach(or larger if they have them) as needed and then put in a 5 gallon bucket (like the xjet bucket) mixed with water and a surfactant? I was about to just buy a 65 gallon tank thinking that I could just leave it sitting in there and didn't realize it degrades over time. Also, you've told me a soft wash system is just a sprayer on steroids. Just starting with tight funds would it be a good alternative just to carry around a pump sprayer for decks, fences and areas on a house that need a little more heat and then rinse with the pressure washer at lower psi?
Yes just buy gallon jugs and use 5 gallon buckets to downstream out of until your ready to buy in bulk. And yes on the Pump up sprayer too. You got this.
@@PressureCleaningSch Thank you for taking the time to respond to him, I had almost the exact same questions. You’re the man , Doug!
I looked for the x jet bucket on your website yesterday and coupdnt find it
www.dougruckerstore.com/products/x-jet-pail-system/
I have been looking for something like the modified xjett gun for a long time. Im using to pre and post treat 3% flat and didn't want all the psi of a regular xjett. Ill be ordering your ready to use complete modification gun tomorrow morning. If I put a mix or 3% in the 5 gallon jug, will it come out the tip at close to 3%, or do i have to use straight 10% since the water supply will further dilute it???
Will come out pretty close to. You’ll just have to play around with it to get it where you like it.
@@PressureCleaningSch thank you for replying so fast on a Sunday. Ill order tomorrow.
Hey Doug, thank you for all the useful information. I use a quad rod (jrod) for soft washing with a 3.5 gpm machine. Do you think is worth to invest on an x-jet? I currently use my down streamer, so I am limited to the ratio that my pressure washer gives me (10-1). I want to be able to use hotter mixes, but I don't know if having only 3.5 gpm will give me a good reach when using the x-jet. I have heard some people say they don't get a good stream with anything less than 4 gpm.
Thank you in advance.
If you want a hotter mix yes a good investment. And agree on 3.5GPM distance, may not get great read, but one of those things you never know till you try.
Hey Doug, do you think I will benefit more from a down stream injector? Maybe closing the one from my machine and just using an actual injector? And would the length of the hose make a difference on dilution ratios when using one?
Thank you in advance.
Also, can you use the nozzle if you put the plug back in it? Like an M5 nozzle?
I have a 4gpm xjet will it work on my 2.5 gpm pressure washer?
I doubt it will perform very well. The nozzle might be to big for that machine.
I dont see the shirts on your website. Will you get more in? Thanks
Sorry but won’t be carrying them anymore.
Hi Doug,
I recently ordered the X-Jet M5 from your store, and I want to use it to get me by until I can invest in a softwash system.
With a 4,000 PSI 4.0 GPM machine, if I run the X-Jet open with no orifice, 10% SH mixed 50/50 with water will get me a true 5% out the tip? I see some other comments from you saying you don't find the 3:1 stated on the card to be accurate but do you feel it does dilute it some? Presumably it has to be diluting it to some extent because water will still be flowing from the machine as well. I ask because that will make a big difference on how you mix the 5-gallon bucket.
If I were intending to spray a 3% mix for houses/hardi siding, should I go with a true 3% mix in the bucket, or make it stronger to account for maybe even a 2:1 dilution in the x-jet (still running it without any of the colored inserts) Because that's a big difference... either 1.5 gallon of 10% SH in the bucket or 3 gallon of SH to = 6% diluted 2:1 in the X-Jet down to 3%
Thanks for any insight!
I'd just mix it at 3% and go from there. Add some more bleach if it's not working good enough. Add water if working to fast. I really don't get into all the exact% since every job can be different depending on surface and staining. The exact % coming out of the gun makes no matter to me, what I look for is, is the bleach changing the color of the algae or not?
I need to use degreaser but I don’t not what proportioner to use on a 3.5 gpm? Can someone help me please? With a 5 gallon tank
There should be a chart on the proportioners bag that is a guide. It’s also on the instructions that come with the X jet. I’ve personally never used the proportioners before. If you need the directions email me at info@dougruckerstore.com and I’ll get a copy to you
Hey Doug quick question so if I’m not using the proportioners and using the 50/50 mix what is the % I’m using on the house wash? Also Slovene question if I’m using the 10-1 proportioners is it just SH AND surfactant…. And what’s that % on a house
If you want to figure the exact %’s there is an instruction guide w the x jet that will explain all that with and without the proportioners. It’s also on my web site. I’ve never been one to get into exact percentages. I just need to know if it’s strong enough to change the color of the organic stains.
@@PressureCleaningSch so I looked at the videos and on your website and I’m still really not finding the answer I’m looking for. So if I’m using the proportion or am I using just Street SH West surfactant? If I’m not using the proportioners am I basically doing batch mixing if so I’m trying to find how to find those percentages and correct chemical ratios because I’m not sure if it’s going to be too hot or not enough if I’m doing a 50-50 mix
@frankhinojosa133 He doesn't know what he's talking about... How is he gonna teach us about it, when he doesn't know much About it
Where did you get that bucket from? Would love to have that
We sell the x jet bucket www.dougruckerstore.com/products/x-jet-pail-system/
Hey Doug I have a question. I only do flat surface, driveway, sidewalk, etc. Laying down pre and post treats with a 2 gallon pump up sprayer is a burden. So if i get this video you are saying without modifications the xjett is to high pressure for that type of task? I really have to get away from the pump up but in the most affordable way possible as im just getting started.
No I did not mean that, just need to be careful of the overspray onto grass though. It will work fine with out the modification for pre and post treating, but again watch the mist and over spray.
I can pre soak the grass with water. If I use it stock will it be about the same as a soap tip or more?
@@stevanhoffman4240 more. Much more pressure and most.
@@PressureCleaningSch thanks for your help. Think I'm just gonna go to an electric pump sprayer for now. Love the videos, you rock.
If I want 6 % SH what % dilution SH do I put into the bucket?
Doubt you’ll get it that high. In this link is the x-jet instruction manual. Scroll down in the description part and you’ll see it. From there you see the ratios based on the GPM of your machine. And also if any inserts are used. www.dougruckerstore.com/products/x-jet-m5-long-range-external-chemical-injection-nozzle/
Awesome video I just bought extra modified off your website. I’m using a 2.5 GPM 3200 psi machine can you help me understand the SH ratio for house washes? Like how would I go about making a mix using this X jet gun
On my site where you purchased will be instructions on using it and making house wash mixes. Read it over throughly and it will explain it. After reading at all if you have any questions let me know
@@PressureCleaningSch yeah it says for a 2.5 gpm is .8-1 I believe so almost a 50/50 mix if I am just using straight SH in a container?
@@rico3831 sounds pretty close to me.
Hey Doug, you said mix the bucket half/half and that what will come out at the Xjet. Now its a 3:1 or 4:1 ratio on average, so how you get a half and half mix coming out at the end? To draw bleach without a proportioner from a 5 gal bucket took my 4gpm 4000psi pressure washer exactly 3:30sec. Now while I was drawing 5 gal Bleach I put out about 14-15gal total. Which is a 3:1 ratio. My SH was only 10.5% so the end result was around 3%. But you said mix half and half and the end result gonna be that. I don’t understand what you meant. I like your videos but sometimes I get lost. Thanks for your reply
Yeah your ratios are correct. That’s an older video I corrected later. Sorry about the confusion.
Question, how much can a 4000 psi hose take as in pressure?
Question 2: how much does a 4400 psi 4gpm maschine put out does it push 4400 psi?
Question 3: can the 4000 psi take the 4400 psi maschine?
Thank you in advance 🙏
1) Probably around 3500-3700 2) No usually a little less, about 500 PSI less 3)Not sure what your asking here
Hello
I am a homeowner and currently own a Huskvarna 3200 psi pressure cleaner. 2.5 GPM max. I want to softwash my house and specially the windows. Is the xjet worth it for me and which model would go with my machine.. Thank you
