I use a descaler for my...

For this price I think I'll get it at. I'd hate to pass it up ,but I know the most of you use the Delavan Fat Boy 7gpm. Any suggestions...

No New Posts Hot Dog vs Wheelbarrow Air Compressors ? (Preview)
If you are buying an air compressor, the single bit tank "Hot Dog" is a better choice, if ya have the room, They have larger air storage tanks, vs a wheelbarrow style compressor.

This is probably a question for Lori,but I'm sure there'll be someone else that would know too.What's the difference between a demand pump and a bypass pump?Which is the better of the two for cleaning roofs as that'll be all I'll be cleaning?Thanks

No New Posts Super Pumps For Roof Cleaning (Preview)
I usually suggest air diapraghm or 12 volt pumps for roof cleaning. Only if someone can't afford an air diapraghm pump do I suggest 12 volt Delavan pumps. But I just want to make it clear there ARE other pumps, super pumps, for roof cleaning. Here is just one example http://www.idex-hs.com/products/...
