what do i need for a cheap setup?

[Taxlossloz]

Have you been done s mossy roof yet ? I insist you have to scrape first .....

 

[Taxlossloz]

Trying to softwash a missy roof without scraping just leaves a patchy mess of bleach white moss which looks worse than before

If anyone can disprove this I would love to see how its done ??

Regulator

@BigFoot

So i sprayed manky conny with hypo just under 1% as i didn't want to go too strong

Sprayed it all

Cleaned next doors windows and her windows

10 minutes to scrub and rinse whole conny

Job done

Bye bye ubik

Not a perfect finish but she did only ask me to give it a quick go over with my pole

If i took a little more time i could do a perfect job easily

what does it regulate ?

i think it might be a controller ? fdor the pump as it looks a bigish pump.

 

[Dave B]

Probably regulates the amount of hypo itbis mixing with the water if it works like mr Cave's clever wash trolley

So you prefer this over Buick. Going to have to give it a try!

Don't use it over 1% though as i was warned about that

Upvc will change colour otherwise

It will change back after a couple of days but then you have to try and explain that to the customer

It is just about strong enough that you see the green start to fade but not too strong that it bleaches it all 100% but the rest comes off with a quick scrub

 

[Damo]

The sprayer you're talking about is getting bad reviews 3-6 months down the line. So be careful.

You mean the IPS gun?

Nice work Dave - don't give up on ubik just yet tho

Once you've had a couple of SH disasters you'll be back on ubik for some jobs as its stress free

 

[Dave B]

I've got addicted to hypo @Taxlossloz

I reckon i will be doing more of that than windows soon

 

[Damo]

Yeah. Not saying the ones mark is selling are pants. But two people have said they are rubbish. With one guy posting a video.

I think you mean clever injector ? It's actually a Dosatron which mark tweaks to Handel hypo

Ben Marriott sells the softwash machine with Honda engine and pump

 

[Dave B]

That is what i meant mate

Been looking at them

 

[Taxlossloz]

Yeah I saw that too

We had one at the training course they look decent and Gavin said they are worth having but there's certain nozzles to get cant Rememver which

 

[Taxlossloz]

Like I said Dave just keep it simple at first and smoothly add it to your Window round

See what you can do with current equipment first

 

[mark m]

I think you were lucky when you used hypo on a conny roof be very carefull to be honest I don't think it is worth the chance a god hard surface cleaner would have the job just as well

 

[Taxlossloz]

Those machines look good but you can do same job with your gear

Just s bit slower coverage

Plus you just have cheap bits to replace

A lot to go wrong with more complicated machinery

That's my thoughts anyway but I'm not technically minded like to keep things simple as poss

 

[mark m]

if you going to start softwashing go for a trolley system to start of with you cant go wrong with one
