Brett, the Noskum from memory has about 1% HF with 30 - 33 % HCL. I haven't found this to be strong enough with some past issues and unfortunately the only way is to dose it yourself ( far cheaper as well). Were you using hot water at high pressure or just trialling by hand? One of these days...

W@$3% E*543!2$$ springs to mind, probably chief cut throat. He tried the same on me when we crossed paths on a quote. He took a step back when I told him I had 4 yrs Uni Chemisty behind me and the caustic or soda ash would only increase the pH of the acid rendering it less effective. To think...

The Jetwave I have, threw the unloader after three weeks, the gearbox after 13 months part time use( I know of 5 other guys that have had a problem with the gear box/keyway), and this is with constant babying, so much so that I made it an open gun as I was worried the unloaders were continually...

Don't Jetwaves Suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks a bunch guys, I'll get a coulple of new ones tomorrow. Cheers Jason

Hi all, does any one know what purpose the spring loaded part that is central in the picture does. The part is a PA #VS 220. I am assuming it is an unloader, does anyone have any ideas on what it is or does? I noticed some leakage from both my boilers today as soon as I put it...

That was the first thing I told the construction company, I basically asked them how much it was to replace the Granite (Imported from China) our price came in at 12% of the replacement cost. The company that makes the grout basically said if you have to regrout it at $20 a bag and maybe use 2-3...

This is a job I got last week at a local mall. When the masons laid the granite they used a chemical resistant grout, but failed to wash it off until the next day. The latex had set and any type of acid wouldn't affect it with any dramatic results. So I enlisted the company that I do some work...

The swivel will only work when you pull the trigger in the gun with a pressure actuated unloader, but with a flow actuated unloader it should swivel all the time. Maybe you bought the wrong type of swivel- there is ones desingned for the free action of the hose, and there are ones used for...

BTW - the better the soap you will have to reapply the acid - it took me a lot of searching for a solution to realise this is the easiest way. So rather than a two step - I'm doing a six or seven step....................................

Hey Dan, why don't you make your own ............................you will save a heap of dough in the mean time. The comparison from downstreaming to upstreaming was that I used the same amount of soap. I've been doing this for the last six months and I'm pretty happy with the...
