    Down streaming ratio

    I couldn't find much on here when searching, but I am curious about down streaming ratios. For example, my PW down streams at a ratio of 1:7. Does this require a change in the house mix formula at all? Will a regular 5 gallon mix still work fine at this ratio?

    Great Value Bleach 8.25%

    I noticed today at Wal Mart that the Great Value bleach is 8.25%. I wasn't able to tell how fresh it was; I couldn't find a mfgd. label anywhere. Any one here have experience using Great Value bleach? It seems reasonably strong, and I am having a hard time finding 12.5% SH.

    Downstreaming w/ bleach

    I want to downstream SH through my machine, an Ex-Cell 3600, but in reading the user manual online it said to never put "bleach or other corrosive chemicals" through the chem injector.

    Cut marks all over concrete

    The other day I did some cleaning at a house for sale. One of the porches in the back had been absolutely ripped to shreds by the seller's own attempts at pressure washing it.

    Handing out refrigerator magnetDs

    Just wondering if any of y'all have tried this with your D2D selling.
