@@AllAboutPressureWashing What is the difference between softwashing and downstream? Is it the same? Where a downstream injector is just the process of how to softwash?
Best channel to learn all things pressure and soft washing. Zero experience when I first started in 2018 and because of videos and guys like this I love been able to learn an extraordinary amount of surface cleaning and now stay booked out 1-2 months busy as all get up!!
Thank you for providing a clear, concise, easy-to-understand explanation focusing on the essential points. It was easy to understand, and I greatly appreciated it.
Thanks Mike!! I’ve been so confused which one I needed and they’re all basically the same thing running on a Venturi system. I’ve actually got chemical injection system on my machine. Really appreciate your help and knowledge. Carl. North wales 🇬🇧
I have a Greenworks 2300. Soap doesn’t come out of the wand but soap is going thru the tubing. Now I’m going to check the injector. Thanks for the info.👍🏻
You did it again brother another knowledgeable video thanks brother you Coty,Aron & Jonathen are on a roll with helping us up and comers appreciate it brother spray on💯💯💪💪
What's going on? I'm new to the whole power washing business starting my own company called before and after pro wash. Been investing a lot of money into equipment, LLC's insurance, business cards, door hangers, advertisement. I do work full-time but I'm trying to turn this into something full-time as we all want in life lol. Just wanted to say I appreciate all the knowledge that you and forever self-employed give me for free and I watch you guys on a daily basis keep doing what you guys are doing. You guys are awesome and go make that money baby
Thank you for the videos and for the knowledge. Im just starting out and only have completed a few simple driveway jobs. I'm nervous about using chemical and causing damage. I'm ready to start trying it though. Where do you order your chemical injectors? Iv looked up a few injectors and they say there rated for pressure but the comments say they wont draw soap and there garbage. Any advice would be helpful. Thank you again for the videos
Thanks for the video! I know, if using a separate pump, the SH mix should be 1:1, but what if using and injector straight from the pressure washer? Should the mix ratio be changed, and to what ratio? Thanks
Thanks for the great info. If I have a downstream injector connected at the washer right after a ball valve, then will my surface cleaner and wand get enough water flow? I ask because if the injector constricts the amount of water that can pass through it, then would it also result in less pressure at the gun? Thanks again!
Great info! But this means you can only use a batch system where the percentage of chemicals is predetermined, am I right? Or is it possible to adapt a blender manifold to get a different mix?
Thank you for the video! I am only able to get soap with the injector when using the black soap tip not my j-rod. I've just purchased a new pw machine it came with the injector kit the arrow is pointing towards the wand away from the pump. I've put it on the machine like in your video and on the hose closest to the wand. What am I doing wrong? Oh and I have a 2.5 GPM and 4 GPM machine with about 100 feet of pw hose and injector hose about 5 feet same issue on both machines. Thx for any recommendations
Good video. I have a question for you and hopefully you can help me out with my pressure washer issue. It won't turn on but when I put a little bit of Carb/Choke cleaner, it works but only for a few seconds (Husqvarna 3100). Thanks a lot in advance sir!
Hey Mike, once and a while our injector allows backflow of water into the chem tank when we are rinsing. Is it just a faulty injector or am I doing something else wrong?
How do you calculate the amount of chemical you use for example % of chemical vs gallons per a min (litres per min) vs mixture rate of your pressure washer?
My downstream inyector only work if I do use 50 ft hose. When I switch to 150 ft hose it stop working . What should I do to make it work with my long hose . Thanks 🙏
Hello, what if the pressure washer already comes with it’s own down stream injector? but paper work says to not use it for bleach only soap. Could I still run bleach through it or add a second down stream injector?
I was wondering if you have a proper mix chart for like let's say for beginners that are using pool bleach (10% SH) unscented laundry soap, and a 5-gallon bucket when I use a soap injector
New subscriber here! Does cleaning a concrete deck around an inground pool require special precautions to protect the pool and also not contaminate chemicals in pool water?
Thank u very much I couldn’t figure out what was wrong until I seen this video the little ball from my injector fell out when I was changing it and I didn’t notice thank u very much appreciate ur videos
What’d you do when you noticed there wasn’t a ball in it? Just bought a pressure washer and the downstream injector that came with it wasn’t working so I took it off and found out there’s not a ball in it..
Need help, added more hose and now i cant downstream. .. only with 50ft. Any more hose I can't pull suction suction. I've tried 2.3mm, 2.1mm & 1.8mm general pump injectors. Pump is canpump 4.7gpm, using jrod for 4gpm. Any help greatly appreciated
Hey Mike! Quick question…I am starting a pressure washing business and have been learning a ton from your videos. I def will get your instructional once I get everything together. Question: You mention rinsing with the ball valve (02:16). What exactly is that? I know what a ball valve is, but what are you relating to? Thank in advance!
if you hook a ball valve up to the end of you’re hose you can you use it to rinse with. so if say you apply chemicals you can just use the ball valve to rinse it off with
my machine has a down stream thing built into the pump. i don’t want to run bleach into it. I purchased a sown stream injector but it doesn’t work well
Hey guys!! I have a 3200PSI 2.5GPM pressure washer which has its own soap tank. I want to install a chemical injector to be able to use bleach without damaging the water pump. Can I install a chemical injector on this machine? What do you think is my best option? Thank you!
Great video! 2 cents to add because it drove me NUTS! Make sure your hose is 3/8! You cannot get a vacuum with 1/4 inch hose. Rebuilt the check valve 4 times before I realized that problem was the 1/4 inch hose.

Simple and straight to the point. Thanks
Definitely helped with further insight…. I had to take it apart yesterday and learned how they worked I have a ceramic ball in my injector…
This video was extremely helpful and put me back on production. Thank you
Glad for this video. I'm starting this month and have decided not to soft wash and only downstream, you've confirmed my thinking. Cheers!
That's awesome and good luck - check out the How to Wash training course - lots of great info in there

My pleasure.
Starting with a pump but first thing I will do is upgrade to a down stream!! You made me obsessed with getting the right one for me!!

On a 5 gpm pump do you use a 3to5 injector or the 5 to 8? Thanks
Can you get hotter mixes downstreaming then using an xjet?
Good video. I have a question for you and hopefully you can help me out with my pressure washer issue.
It won't turn on but when I put a little bit of Carb/Choke cleaner, it works but only for a few seconds (Husqvarna 3100).
Thanks a lot in advance sir!
You're the man
Hey mike question if I have a built in chemical injector on my 4gpm can I still use a downstream injector or would i have to cap the existing one?
Hey Mike, once and a while our injector allows backflow of water into the chem tank when we are rinsing. Is it just a faulty injector or am I doing something else wrong?
Quick question Micheal, if I am doing a driveway, can I go with the black tip for the entire process??
Do they have a metering system on those? Is that check ball a meter of some sort so you don't get too much of a mix?
Have a good labor day Mike,
+Rick Washek you too Rick
Pedro has been consistently putting out fantastic information for years now. 👏
🤣
Thank you
What kind of connection do you use? The setup I figured out is spewing water out at the connections.
How do you calculate the amount of chemical you use for example % of chemical vs gallons per a min (litres per min) vs mixture rate of your pressure washer?
My downstream inyector only work if I do use 50 ft hose. When I switch to 150 ft hose it stop working . What should I do to make it work with my long hose . Thanks 🙏
I have always been told the draw is 10:1. Do downstream injectors vary?
Good to know I will let my pressure washer know
If you do not have a SH tank, for house washes or driveways will a 5 gal bucket work?
Or how long would a 5-10 gal tank of SH get you?
With a 4gpm and comit pump can I run a 6 foot hose from my Chem tank to the downstream injector and it pull
You are the GOAT in this game. Thay is all. Lol
Excellent video. Subbed
Can you run it on the end of the wand with a wide tip would that lower the pressure and work?
Does it matter what thickness the hose is? You said 150 ft in length but can it be 150 ft of 1/4 inch?
Great vid! Bad ass shirt !
Just bought a 10 gpm beast. Was using a 5.5 gpm. Is it true the 10gpm chemical injector won't pull soap as strong as the 5.5?
Hello, what if the pressure washer already comes with it’s own down stream injector? but paper work says to not use it for bleach only soap. Could I still run bleach through it or add a second down stream injector?
Do we have to worry about dilution when using one of these?
how do you control the strength of the chemical when you down stream?

@@loganweber693 hi I order a new one on Amazon it came in a 2 pack worked perfect after that
How do I find out the ratio my injector pulls chemical?
Awesome video mate, up unfortunately can't fnd any one in NZ that can set this up for me
Do you know were I can get the valve with the spring and ball bearing? Mine broke and can't find it
Need help, added more hose and now i cant downstream. .. only with 50ft. Any more hose I can't pull suction suction. I've tried 2.3mm, 2.1mm & 1.8mm general pump injectors. Pump is canpump 4.7gpm, using jrod for 4gpm. Any help greatly appreciated

Finally someone who doesnt talk slow. Time is precious
So how do i get the soap to go further?
WOW this is a awesome know how video
+Ricky walker thanks
How does the high pressure not draw chemical from the downstream injector but lower pressure does?
What’s that tip called?
Downstreaming is the original soft wash dog... Love downstreaming!
💯
Hello from San Francisco CA
I use this connector Instead having sop out, my sop tank got full of water
my machine has a down stream thing built into the pump. i don’t want to run bleach into it. I purchased a sown stream injector but it doesn’t work well
I wonder how much percentage is coming out of the tip when downstreaming straight from the SH jug
Xjet is better than downstream right?
Hey guys!! I have a 3200PSI 2.5GPM pressure washer which has its own soap tank. I want to install a chemical injector to be able to use bleach without damaging the water pump. Can I install a chemical injector on this machine? What do you think is my best option? Thank you!
Great video! 2 cents to add because it drove me NUTS! Make sure your hose is 3/8! You cannot get a vacuum with 1/4 inch hose. Rebuilt the check valve 4 times before I realized that problem was the 1/4 inch hose.
💥You mentioned downstreaming but never showed the equipment setup and how to do it.
my machine has a down stream thing built into the pump. i don’t want to run bleach into it. I purchased a sown stream injector but it doesn’t work
Why does my chemical bucket that the downstream injector is in eventually fill up with water?
What nozzle tip is that in the video?
