[Paul Kassander]

Are you talking swivels on surface cleaners or couplers for hoses Russ?

[Russ Spence]

swapped to whispers and nooooo problems at all

Same here, they are well made. I have 2 classics and a maxima.

 

[DustinC]

Two ground forces and a ultraclean.Had a stainless whisper wash for a very short time and the difference in comfort and ease of use were obvious.

 

[taselton2]

Dustin, what temp do you have best results cleaning gum?

 

[Russ Spence]

I leave mine around 200

 

[DustinC]

Same as Russ.

$20.00 for the factory castor, but I am sure you will find one local for a bit less.

 

[Thad]

I bet he got one by now.

I meant to say stainless whirl away.

I started out with a 24" stainless steel @ 5.5gpm

Last year I combined my 5.5gpm + 5gpm to make 10.5gpm @3500psi on the 24"

Now I've got the ultimate concrete cleaner.

MAXIMA 36" pushing 8gpm + 5gpm = 13gpm @ 3500psi.

For those of you that haven't tried combining your machines with a high pressure T........DO IT!!!

It's like having an extra employee without paying for more labor.

What size HP hose are you using when you combine them?

 

[Mike Sullivan]

Honda 20 Hp AR XWA8G35N (8gpm @ 3500psi) + Honda 13Hp AR RKV5G40 (5gpm @ 3500psi)

3/8" 4500psi 2 wire non-marking gray hose. Anything more than 13gpm and I would need to go with 1/2" hose. I have decided to hold off for a while. Maybe when my 3/8 hose busts I might consider upgrading to 1/2". The weight of it may discourage me from buying it though.

 

[RandyL]

hmmm I might have to try that out, I have 2 5.6 gpm machines on my truck as it is now. Is it hard at all to set up?

 

[Mike Sullivan]

Nope, very cheap too. All you need is a high pressure T, couplers, and a short whip line to connect them together. Your unloaders need to be the same. I like the AL607s

My 20hp is electric start and my 13hp is hand pull. I start the 13hp first with the ball valve on to let the air out of the hose, turn the valve off, then start the 20hp.

Also you must change your nozzles. If your concrete cleaner is a two bar then you will need two 5.5gpm nozzles.

 

[Mike Sullivan]

Randy, how many horsepower engines are you running your 5.6gpm? If they are 13hp, two 6gpm nozzles will run better.

 

[RandyL]

One has a 18 hp Kohler the other has a 21 hp vanguard
