Wet Sand Blasting with their pressure washer: Who's doing it/done it? What kind of medium did you use? Any tips or pointers? I purchased a wet sand blast kit from GP for a specific project. I have a home depot Behr one part epoxy that a maintenance guy applied outside on the entry sidewalks...

Surface Cleaners: Wondering what the differences are between the Mosmatic w/ water reclaim compared to the Sirocco w/ water reclaim. Is the double walled housing modified by Sirocco? Or just the amount of vac hose connections? Anyone have a pic of a Mosmatic double wall design? Looking at the...

Wondering what systems people are using for higher gpm, hot water? I'm talking 6gpm and higher. Whose making burners that can keep up with the flow. I've seen the Pressure wash store: 8gpm http://shop.powerwashstore.com/Horizontal-Pro-Super-Skid-8012PRO35HG-8012PRO35HG.htm Is the heater...

I've done a couple paver restorations. Water/sand recovery with a system such as Jerry's Sirocco Reclaim System makes it really easy. I use the PEV2 with the 21inch surface cleaner. I added the sand trap to my system. I clean, resand, and seal if the customer wants it... It's that easy, not...

What kind of oils are you guys running in your pumps? Brand specific? Generics? I have a Cat and an AR and would like to kill two birds with one stone. Thanks, -Cal

I went through the entire pump today. The pump had 3 bad valves/valve o-rings and a hairline cracked plunger. Came up with an easy fix for the blown out case, i used allen set screws and just plugged the holes. Turned out clean and simple hopefully it seals well. I did a full case flip...

So, I traded a buddy for a used Hydrotek. I took the whole thing apart to clean up some rust on the frame. While putting it back together I realized that someone had used the wrong pitch 5/16" bolt for two of the four bolts used for mounting. The housing had two stripped holes and in attempting...
