Here is a sprayer cart I've been working on. The pump and the battery are in the bucket. The solution bucket sets on top of this bucket,..Both held in place by plastic yellow chains. I also wanted to share how a $20.00 air hose reel can be converted into an application reel with a chemical...

Here's a simple trick some may be able to use for getting gutters white even when it's cold. Add some acetone to your gutter cleaner,..I prefer Purple Power,..but as well as PP works,..when it gets too cold,..it kinda' just quits. To start,...add 1 quart to 3 quarts PP and simply apply by your...

Just wondering how many ounces of NAOH per gallon of water is safe to run with Viton/Santoprene? I hear and read that Viton isn't good for NAOH at 20%. Anyone have experiences with this and could you please tell me what a "safe" NAOH/water mix is for these materials. Thank You, Jeff

I cheated and made a portable sprayer. I like the professional look of the factory made hand helds,..but I wanted it to be protected from rain shower or overspray. I plan on using a prettier bucket Ha,Ha,..,..this is just a prototype. Just gonna be used for spot spraying and spraying gutters...

I currently use a product for rust removal on concrete, and it works very well. But,..the results aren't immediate,..you have to wait for the concrete to dry and then it looks great. I've done several concrete driveways that have rust damage from what I assume is from snow plows scraping the...

Wondering how many of you guys running 200' of hose on reels have to pull all the hose from the reel when doing something that requires maybe 100' only? I ask because if I don't pull all the hose off, the hose left on the reel loosens up from the trigger being on/off and makes a big loose mess...

I received the Whisper Wash Classic last week,..today I noticed what appear to be hair line stress cracks around some of the hardware,..the handle mounts that are screwed to the base and also one at the swivel. Anyone else have this issue? Very disappointed in the quality of the material used...

Does anyone use a high pressure filter on their surface cleaner? I use one on my rotating nozzle simply due to the ceramic orifice that can be easily damaged by a small particle. Not concerned about damage on the surface cleaner so much,..but it's really irritating when something gets stuck in...

Wondering what actually goes bad in soap injectors? I know they sell the rebuild kits for the GP Hi-Draws,..and it looks like only the spring, ball and an O-ring in the kit? Is this all that can go bad or does the orifice change,.affecting the draw rate and/or performance? Do the acid kits...

Would like some input on application hose used with HOT Sodium Hydroxide,..mixed at say,..8 OZ. per gallon. With my pump sprayers I use regular PVC hose and it works fine for everything,..except hot hydroxide,..over a a few rounds it begins to bubble and turns unsafe. What does anyone else use...

For anyone needing Sodium Hydroxide in pure form. Ace hardware has it in convenient 1 Lb. bottles. $3.47 per. More expensive than buying it 50# at a time from Univar,..but for me it's worth it. (Especially considering customer pays for it anyhow,..and is very cost effective either way),...The 1...

Ok,..I always try and give the board the best advice from my experiences. But one thing I know I've miscalculated is the strength of SH that is needed for a typical house wash. I always thought it was around 1%-3% that was hitting the house when DS'ing. As part of another recent topic I did...

The 1/4" coupler on my trigger had an issue I've never seen before. The bearings started falling out until there was only 2 left. It was the General Pump brand. Anyone else experiencing this? Seems a few common parts we've used for years are going downhill the last few years. ST-2000 trigger...

Every year I do work for a country club,..last year we ran into some "funny" looking black mold,..looks almost like regular mold, just a little irregular shaped. Anyhow this mold was on the resin furniture used around the pool. Yesterday I was cleaning the pool area, including the scum line...

I have a Mosmatic surface cleaner with ALOT of time on it,..no problems. Just looking to do preventive maintenance. Anyone ever rebuild or at least do an o-ring replacement in one of these Mosmatic surface cleaner swivels? What about greasing these,..do they need it or not,...never had one...

My roof tank draw pipe has been a piece of threaded schedule 80 for the last several years. Took it apart to re-seal the threaded ends and while taking it apart it cracked,..well,..finding threaded schedule 80 in 2 ft. or more is impossible around here,...Lowes used to have it but they said...

Just looking for anyone else's experience with stainless fittings and leaking. I bought a Titan 5518E SS hose reel,..when I rigged it with the supplied stainless swivel and the end cap for the side that's plugged off,..I had a rough time getting them not to leak. I mean I was tightening them...

Just wondering,..Are there twisting issues when running a continuous length of 200' high pressure hose from a reel? I use a Mosmatic high pressure swivel at the trigger handle and that definitely helps when using sections as I do now. Wondering if also adding a high pressure swivel at the hose...

Here is a picture of the two short ones Christopher: Jeff

Hey Christopher, I use 2" PVC for my aluminum extensions. Could use 1" also,..but 2" is what I had on hand. I stand them straight up,..they take up less usable/trailer space this way. Like posted above,..I use one tube per extension. Albeit, I only have a couple mounted this way,..the longer one...
