    Pump and hose vibrating. Can't find problem.

    Yesterday I started up my washer, for my first driveway, and I noticed that the hose was vibrating slightly. I thought it was air in the hose. It stopped after a while and then came back. I noticed it at the next two houses. It sort of felt like the pump wasn't getting enough water. So today I...

    X-Jet to the rescue!!!

    Today I was trying to clean a pool enclosure, and I had to use 250 feet of hose to get to it. With the combination of longer hose and it was raining out, I couldn't get my usual mix to work. I was about to call it quits and go back to finish it tomorrow, when I decided to give my xjet(M5) a try...

    Check card compromised!

    Recently I had my check/debit card information stolen. I believe it was scanned at a local gas station. The culprits apparently made a dummy card and used it at a home depot a couple of hundred miles away. I confronted the clerk at the gas station, and she told me several people have complained...

    Engine snap back, breaking pull start rope.

    Today I had a problem while pull starting my machine. The rope broke three times in a 5 minute period. I would go to pull it and it would snap back so hard the rope broke. It also slammed my hand so hard I thought I was going into shock! Any ideas what causes this? A fix? I guess it's time...

    Christmas in July!!!

    I can't seem to sit still. Everytime I see something I think is cool, I try to think of reasons why I want it. This just came in the mail today! I tried it out with my 5.5 gpm machine and it works great at cleaning, the only problem I see is, that going forward it is bogged down and doesn't...

    EBC what am I doing wrong?

    Customer has big oil stain on driveway. Went by and pretreated the night before, came back in the morning and pressure washed the area. Then treated again, agitated. Waited 30 minutes and washed again. This is the result. Looks almost the same as before I treated it.

    White streaks under windows.

    Customer just called and was concerned about white streaks under his windows. The house was just painted two years ago. I am thinking it is oxidation running down. It is on each end of the window frames running down. Anyone come across this? and does it come off?

    Workers comp question.

    Just wondering if anyone here can give me the classification code for pressure washing and gutter cleaning? And is it worth it for me to get it? I am a one man operation right now and I know I am not required to have it, but I have some customers that inquire about it.

I rubbed one of the beams with my finger and it was chalk city. The last one I started doing like that, I had to stop immediately and...
