    Please help me decide on new PW

    What is meant by reducing pressure with different tips is using tips with a larger diameter orifice not a just a wider pattern. using a different pattern tip gives you just that - a different pattern, not less pressure. But you are correct in saying the impact is spread out over a wider area...

    if you can only " stay afloat " washing cars , then you will sink like a rock with a big machine to pay for. Why do you wash the cars if you dont make money? There is alot of work you can do with your machines, try to sell your service to other lots, develop a system, get a helper to speed...

    Newbie ?'s EPA, Chemicals, Etc...

    The hot water is needed more outside than inside, If you want to get done fast enough to make money - you really need hot water. Don't forget the gum. a water hose will remove gum about as fast as a cold pressure washer, maybe faster considering time it takes to set up. :D You wont make...

    Without hot water you really can't do restaurants, too much grease, unless you use alot of chemical and pressure (more than you have). $150/DAY!!!! You should be able to rent surface cleaner for $20-$30/day. I could rent you my rig and surface cleaner for $150/day.

    buying first power washer help!

    The pump drive is not always what fails, it is usually the pump. On a direct drive machine There is no drive, the motor hooks up DIRECTLY to the pump. The other types use belts/pulleys, or Gearboxes to turn the pump. The pumps used in these systems are designed to pump water while they turn at...

    Anybody here have an Allison Ironhorse?

    For the cost of a dual wand set-up, I believe 2 separate units would be more useful. You also have the security of 2 machines if one breaks down. Nothing is less professional than leaving a job un-finished. There are alot of good units available, the Allison is one of them. There are also many...

    :cool: A new hot box would be the way to go if you have a good machine already. You can get them for about 1000-1500 just about anywhere that sells professional equipment.

    "I can print at least 2500 8 x 11 sheet per cartridge" wow! I don't think the rest of the world knows how to get that out of an ink jet printer. maybe you can enlighten us. Maybe printing very sparse, low resolution (draft) text will get you that many pages but i doubt you get close to...

    "...maybe 50 cents in ink" hmmmm right. like I said, good luck buddy. I hope you figure your pressure cleaning costs a little better than that if you plan on being in business long enough to get a call back on one of those cards you made. That is if the 50cent ink lasts long enough. I'm...

    the home printed cards will smear with slightly damp fingers if printed with ink jet printer. they have better ink now but it is very expensive. you can get much nicer cards printed professionally for a fraction of the cost of the ink alone. If my hands are a little wet from working with water...
