    How are you securing tanks and totes on open trailers?

    I have two 275 gallon IBC totes that I need to secure down on my 16ft trailer. From the way I understand from the DOT, they have to be individually secured down. I was thinking about straps but have also saw some use some type of chain and use eye bolts through the floor to tighten them down...

    Going to be doing my first job cleaning a few decks.

    I am going to get my feet wet so to speak with deck cleaning. I have a customer who hired me to stain a new fence he put up and he asked if I could clean the decks and walk ways that he has on the property. I ordered some wood restorer and some brightner. I am a little nervous about it but...

    Why can't I load pics lately?

    I have tried to load a photo or two here lately and can't get it to load. I can select the pic I want then click the upload button, the little circle does its thing and then nothing. It doesn't say the pic is too big or the wrong format or anything. The pic I tried to load tonight is jpg. file.

    Unloader mounting- pump or mount block

    I have had a couple of people tell me it is better to mount the unloader to a mount block and not to the pump. Is there a reason for this or more of a personal preference. Getting ready to mount mine on a belt driven skid plate and have little to no room for block mounting. I bought the block...

    Pressure Pro skid plate/19hp Kohler questions.

    I have the KCA065 Pressure Pro belt drive skid plate and 19 horse Kohler. Just a quick look tonight as I started to mock it up and it looks like the plate does not have the Kohler bolt patern. Do they just set these plates up for certain engines? Thinking I may have to lay out some new holes and...

    Shorebest 2790? Anyone use this product?

    I have a friend who has some of this and he swears by it for concrete cleaning. I think he said it was marketed as a masonry cleaner but I won't swear by that. Just wondered how this product compares to some of the other products on the market. He said it was kind of expensive but not sure how...

    What exactly is Wash on Wheels?

    The nearest washer to me is a Wash on Wheels. Just out of curiosity I thought I would look into what all the WOW's were as there seem to be many of them across the country. Is this a franchise type of thing or how do they operate. I have noticed that some are just pressure washing and one I came...

    Need help with pulley sizes and sheaves.

    Do I need a 3.6" engine pulley size if it is a 3600 rpm engine and a 7.4" pump pulley for a 1750 rpm pump? This will be a 19 horse Kohler on a TSF 2021 pump. Not sure what the exact equation is that I need to use.

    Alternate spec on pump?

    I was looking at a General pump TSF2021. The site advertises this pump at 8.5 gpm but also has it listed as "Alternate spec" at 7 gpm. What does the alternate spec mean. http://www.generalpump.com/pdfs/TSF2019-Pump.pdf

    green spring or K7 unloader for single gun machine?

    I am told the green spring is for dual gun machines but guys use it for single gun machines as well. It seems like alot of the people I have talked to use the green spring but am told I should use the K7 over the green spring. Thoughts?

    Talk pumps to me. Wanting an 8gpm.

    I am trying to put this machine together and I think I have most of it lined out. This will be my first machine that I have built. I thinking of buying the 19 horse Kohler and put an 8gpm pump on it. I know I won't get the full psi of an 8 gallon pump but that is okay. Not an issue with that...

    Gear driven pumps vs. belt driven? What is your preference.

    Just curious as to what everyone thinks of one style over the other. I was recently told by another washer that he likes gear driven because they are easier on the engine but harder on the pump. He said likes this setup because he would rather spend for a new pump over buying a new engine. He...

    Why so few fleet washers?

    It seems like alot of pressure washing businesses seem to stay away from fleets. Why is that. I know I have heard that it pays to little per piece or you have to volume to make money, costs more to get started etc. Just curious as to thoughts on this. Is it alot of misinformation out there on...
