    New equipment setup - advice wanted!

    For those interested. I have seen Jon's truck, inside and out. Better not waste any time it is well worth the money. I would also take advantage of the hose reel setup. I helped Jon with the design when he purchased the water tank from me a few months back.

    Brushing entire house?

    Tim, forget about the brush and lift. The X-Jet and chemical should be all you need. The X-Jet should deliver about 1,000 psi with a 3,000 psi @ 4 gpm machine. The best place to check your pressure output is between your hose and gun. If you don't have a ball valve install one at the end of...

    x-jet

    John, Take the quick conncet plug ogg and check the orifice inside. It is possible it got left out or just has the wrong size for your machine. Mistakes happen. You should have a #13 if your machine is in the 5-6 gpm range.

    Pay Up, Buddy

    Richard, that was the credit bureau, not the better business bureau. The BBB is for customers to find out about business . The credit bureau is for reporting non payments and late payments, also for running credit reports.

    Pay Up, Buddy

    You can join the local credit bureau and report it on their file. It stays there for seven years unless you remove it. It will not get you paid but they will remember what they did for a long time.

    neutralizing

    Richard, Most chemical injectors have a 7:1 ratio. That would dilute the ocylic acid too much. However you can mix it 1:1 and run througt the X-Jet, it has a 1.6:1 ratio. This will give you a 3.2:1 ratio and should work fine. This way you can heat the ocylic acid by running your burner.

    "Stiffed" as a board

    non payment Join your local credit reporting bureau. When they don't pay, report them. It won't get you your money but they will remember you FOR THE NEXT SEVEN YEARS. That is the lenght of time it will be on their credit report.
