All we use is ball valves and have not had any problems, Why don't you like Ball valves?

Iannacchione · Guest

I dont like them because you have to use two hands to turn them on and off, I dont like to do that when I am up 30+ feet on a ladder.

I am trying something new out Brad for the same reason. PWP just sent it to me it should be here this week. She wants feedback on it so I will let you know as well.

I bought Part # 4730 Qty 2 Suttner ST2700 S.S. Gun 12 gpm for $68.95 at the Tampa NCE convention. This is the gun I use. You will need to flush it every time. I am also fixing to try out another gun that Lori sent me.

I have only used this gun for roof cleaning since May. I love the ease of it. I have used the same gun for the last 6 years power washing and have yet to rebuild it.

I believe that price is their show or internet order price.

I use a regular squeeze type trigger style garden spray gun...works like a charm, and 5.99 at lowes...I tend to get about 30 jobs out of them before replacement

I had been using a ball valve and home made wand. Requires two hands to turn on and off.

I was in Tampa last week and visited Lori at PWP. I was there to purchase my All-Flo pump and some Kuri Tek hose. Lori gave me (read free) a model YRL50 spray gun which can flow 13.2 gpm. She wanted some feedback from a roof cleaner on how well the gun works.

I was very pleased with the spray gun. One hand operation and was light to carry. It must be rinsed after each use so only time will tell how long it will last before a rebuild.

I bought more than just the All-Flo pump and hose. Lori made sure I had everything I needed to put my system together when I got back home. The spray gun was not the only thing I got free when I visited PWP.

Hey Ray,

I tried the $5.99 nozzles too. The problem with them is that when you start spraying, the chemical sprays too wide and I ended up dripping with it all over me.

Thanks Ray, and Charles.

This Spray Gun is stainless steel, don't know what kind of seals it uses. It is a favorite of pest and lawn spray guys. In Tampa, the crackheads steal these off the Trucks, so I never tried one.

If it was made in a some kind of poly it would be great they shoot a great pattern that is extermely adjustable

I use an adjustable garden hose nozzle from wal-mart , lowes, home depot, or where ever really. It's the kind that you just twist to the right or left to adjust the spray pattern, with a poly garden hose shut off valve. Can adjust and turn off and on with one hand. Fine mist to a heavy soak. They are like $4 and the shut off is $1.27. The nozzle last about a month without rinsing and about 2 with rinsing. I'll probably never use a gun again.

Marcus you mentioned this to me and I still bought the brass one for my surface cleaner. Figured I was saving money on a test gun, but I should have just listened to your recomendation. So far it is the best gun I have used in surface cleaning. I think the stainless one as a roof gun sounds like a great idea. I noticed envirospec used to list other chlorine rated pressure washer guns. I guess you fit aluminum lancing on it?? Or do you just run a qc right off the gun?
