Hello to all,
I recently tried out my xjet that I finally purchased about a week ago.
I have a few questions. I read the instructions and decide to play with it last night on my own home. I have a 3000 psi 5 gpm hot/cold
Why did the xjet empty a five gallon bucket in about 3 min?. I did not use any of the little proportioners that came with it and believe this is why it went so fast. I am still learning this bus. such as the draw rates, ratio's and proportioners.
I read my instructions and came back to the past post to read up on the xjet.
If I do not use any of the proportioners and use the jet wide open,the xjet will spray 2:1 ratio. Does this mean for ever two gallons of water it will use 1 gallon of cleaning solutions?
By using it wide open I see that I will go thru much more chemicals than using my downstream injector. I know that downstreaming dilutes the chems and decrease the cleaning power am I correct? I use a extension wand on housecleaning and think this xjet will help me cut down on time spent cleaning the homes.
I think I really need to mix my limolene per instructions but it say to use 1/2 pound to per gallon and I guesstimate the mixiing sins I do not have a scaleand this is probably why I have to use my tips to pressure wash the siding.
I read on the BB's that guys use their xjets, spray ;et dwell and then rinse off. They say the chems does all the work. I am still trying to figure out how that works to eliminate having to clean each row with tips.
Any help this board can give me concerning the cleaning and the xjet techninques I would be greatful.
I know this should be something that I should comprehend but I guess I started on my own and still much to learn.
