Hose problem
(Preview)
At the end of a big roof job while rinsing the pump it quit pumping. Thought maybe it overheated and shut down. After getting home I got a fresh pump out of the box and swapped them out. Same thing. The pump would spin but not pump. I noticed that when I took the fitting off the discharge side the water c...

Fascia/ Soffit/ Gutter Cleaning Extra Charge?
(Preview)
I live in SW Florida and do 95% tile roofs. I have always charged extra ($100-$225) to clean the outside of gutters, fascia and soffits. I've always just used a watered down mix and rinsed it off a few minutes after spraying it and it comes out great. Lately I've had a few customers almost expecting it wit...

Roof has no gutters and, painted panel siding.
(Preview)
I was just wondering how you go about cleaning this roof. It is a shingle roof, but the siding is all painted wood panels. I think its called hardy plank siding? What I am worried about, is when the 40% solution runs off the roof, some splatter hits the paint of the panel. Even if my assistant tech is spray...

One Stubborn Roof Stain

Guys, Need some advice. This roof stain has been sprayed twice with my normal roof mix and although it has lightened up I'm still not happy with it. I even went over it with a 50/50 and then some straight sh(no surfactant) but to no avail. The customer was extremely happy with the entire roof cleaning...

Mix Lifespan w/ Dawn

Will a mix with Dawn as a surfactant last overnight? I had a duplex to do this afternoon and at the last minute the one side backed out. I allways mix in the surfactant upon arrival but of course the one time I didn't wait I get stuck with about 50 gallons of mix sitting on the trailer. I know that Dawn can eat...

Website questions
(Preview)
2.5 years ago when I created Spray Wash I was on a very tight budget. I created my own website using my Mac, but fast forward to the future, and its time for something better. Does anyone have recommendations for a good website designer? Frankly I don't have time to deal with it myself and need help.

I've been contemplating using quickconnects on my pump that will be replacing my current pumps, but Bob said they have a greater chance of causing leaks in the system. Question: If I use 1/2" MPT x 1/2" barbs for the inlet and outlet of the pump and the pump goes bad, is there an easy easy way to...
