Asked to do a several jobs advice needed

[Eviestevie]

When I built the machine was for the forum

Just show how easy it can be

 

[Duncs]

so evie do you mainly do powerwashing all the time

do you do any window cleaning at all

 

[Eviestevie]

Last year was crazy with the power washing steaming

This year I haven't pushed at all but had steady flow off work

The power washing though is good money

Last year I worked myself stupid and promised my missus I wouldn't again

I suffer from ocd really bad and when it flares I don't sleep and obsess over everything to the point I had counselling

But I'm 80percent Windows id say

 

[Duncs]

always thought you was all power washing

 

[Eviestevie]

No mate although last year I was doing it every week and worked nearly every sat and sun

I'll always concentrate on my Windows and do pressure washing as well

Would never give up the windows tho

 

[Eviestevie]

Pressure washing is a great add though because sometimes after long day on Windows when your ready to finish and had enough if you've got pressure jobs booked in then you'll go and do one

We're as if you was on Windows would finish

Same Saturday's surprising how you can do couple pressure jobs but have had about enough on the Windows

There defiantly a great add on to make money as well a change they don't take long to pay for themselves at all

And if you really wanted would be easy to go full time doing it but I choose not to

I got offered some chicken farms all round the country but had to decline because would effect my Windows

That was really really good money but lot investment the machines needed for that are serious

21lpm not needed if u only doing it as a add on. I have a 15 lpm machine and does the best. Soft washing also. Everyone seems to want to sprint before they learn to even crawl.

Bought as spare when I was using 15lpm

They retail about £700 open to offers

 

[peter rogers]

No the pump and gearbox bolt straight onto your engine shaft it's four bolts that's it

Always handy to have spare has these are the most expensive part off a washer

The engines themselves if serviced are pretty bomb proof

I'm only asking £300 and that's a massive saving

It's only the one has a had it has spare

Er, whilst everyone is picking your brains @Eviestevie, hope you don't mind myself joining in.

I have a 15L Briggs and Stratton machine with gearbox. I use a turbo lance for everything at the moment but am considering a fsc. Are there any certain ones you would recommend and where I could get one?

Thanks in advance /emoticons/smile.png

What I'm asking is, I know a 21L machine has the power for a fsc, but has a 15L and will it be much quicker?

 

[Eviestevie]

You can still run fsc cleaner off 15lpm

Just will take probly the extra pass on a 21lpm

I can get you a fsc cleaner cheap compared to new

 

[padman]

I have a 15l machine and a fsc and I have upgraded the nozzles as someone said if you do it will shift the weeds - it doesn't.

I still have to turbo all the weeds out. My mate thinks its a total waste of time and says just turbo the lot from the start /emoticons/sad.png

That's my concern. I have a k7 karcher as well. If I use the dirtblaster nozzle it removes anything in its path. If I use the t. Racer ( karchers fsc) its leaves behind the odd weed and doesn't shift lichen:bangheadwall:

 

[Eviestevie]

Nothing will totally shift lichen that's were hypo comes in

I Carnt believe that machine I put on didn't sell lol

 

[padman]

Would like your 21lpm machine IF they rip dem weeds out with my fsc- but I dont think they will. need to be proved wrong.

Also gotta get a bigger van from the Auctions at Measham on Tuesday and not sure what i need to spend, so could be strapped for cash by then unfortunately /emoticons/sad.png

 

[Eviestevie]

We did 3 drives today with 2 21lpm machines

They will defiantly drive a fsc with the right jets

I see many people running turbos with the wrong jet as well

Some weeds even with a turbo will take some getting out if there under the paving

Clean with a fsc then spot with turbo
