For what surface..........houses, flatwork, decks??
chemicals
I use flo jet pump w/ 50 to 100 feet of hose for restaurant hoods their floors,we use pump up spyers( premeir) are good.we use these to go on the roof and shoot the fans and ducts,i dont want to drag my flo jet spyer thruogh grease in the duct. We use the x jet to clean buildings and suck soap. If we have a big building job sometimes I'll have a guy about 4 or 5 min in front of me applyin chemical to the walls w/ a flo jet. works alright

Bryan, regarding the guy in front of you applying chems with a flojet, I recently thought I might try the same idea, but only using a small PWer. I have a couple of old units that aren't worth much to me anymore and thought about converting one to a chem feed system when I have an helper. I also prerinse (we are cleaning brick), so the small PW would be prefered to the flojet for me. However, I think you'd get your chem on the wall a lot faster doing this. Worth some thought.
Bill , yes im sure that would work good too,i do have some Q's about converting the old pressure washer to a chemical sprayer.Are you going to set the machine up to just chemicals coming out or a mix with water like a downstream injector. Anything to get those saops on the wall faster is good...the x jet puts on soap pretty fast. Reason im asking cause i have some old cold water units too and a few old pumps that work.That would be sweet to have a chemical spryer that shoots it pretty fast like 2.5 or 3 gpm. Thanks for the idea Bryan Brimage
Bryan, thought of using PW both with XJet approach and pumping straight chem. I would need to use the XJet mainly because I am pumping corrosives. You are probably aware that many chem spray systems use roller pumps, which is a better alternative. But if I am going to toss a piston pump out anyway ...
