Surface cleaner

Tim I agree with the gpm the more the better. Thats why I run a 9.3 hot water and a 8.5 cold water. I was a medic in myrtle beach sc for 5 years and moved back to FL in 99 and worked for Indian River county for about 5 years. I was cleaning part-time while working as a medic then after the hurricanes my business went through the roof. Went full-time and never looked back.I miss the guys I worked with but don't miss the B/S that comes with being a medic.

Riding a box has its days. I like the sound of 9.3 hot, I bet that cleans pretty good. Where is your website ?

Kick ass setup Mel. Man, you have got some serious power there. What kind of engines are you running those pumps? Are your pumps TSF2219 and TSF2021?
 
Thanks Mike. I run a 23hp and a 18hp.Yes those would be the correct general numbers. I get the gpm but not the pressure with the hp I'm running.Very seldom do I need pressure,mainly concrete and brick. The pic on my website is a older pic I don't use those stainless surface cleaners. Over a year ago I switched to 36 ww maxima. 28 ww big guy.The best investment by far.

Where did you buy them? WW - Whisper wash? I guess they are better. Haven't tried them.

Yes, I use mostly low pressure too. I kind of wish I came up with a company name that didn't have the word "Pressure" in it because the first thing everyone assumes is... "Are you going to blast out my windows and take the paint off" or "Isn't the pressure going to hurt my shingles"

grrrr... Low pressure for houses, no pressure on roofs, and high pressure for concrete and brick (like you said).

Tim doesn't have that problem I bet. Softwashing is a better name.

I thought I had seen your site before, but it wasn't in your sig. That 36" will cover some ground in a hurry, won't it? Why did you switch to the whispers? I wish that 28" was set-up just like the 36", I couldn't find a good way to store it.
 
Mike I actually bought the 36 maxima from Russ Johnson @ southside equipment..Tim they are much lighter and very little maintenance.They are pretty much bulletproof. The swivel is the most expensive. I have had the 28 big guy longer and just rebuilt the bearing.The big guy is harder to store but it fits right on the side of my trailer.I will be switching to a isuzu or fuso flatbed soon.I hopefully just nailed down a couple more sweet contracts.

Tim that is exactly what I am looking for. I'm jealous. I want one that is low-profile. Right now I have a rack built on the side that holds the 36.Then the 28 sits on my fender and mounted to a rack. When I bought the big guy the maxima wasn't out yet.When the big guy wears out I'll buy another maxima.
