Some general questions - Mar 31st, 08, 10:30 PM

Just picked up a Landa wet blaster (it's BIG), at an auction for $50.00. I know that they sell for a few hundred, so I figured it was a good deal. I bought it with the idea of supplementing my graffiti removal arsenal. I have never used one before and have read every post I could find on blasting. I do still have some questions on operation and media so here goes:

1) is this a practical tool for graffiti removal? I use Taginator and Tagaway plus some of my own concoctions, but thought this might be a good alternate tool to have available. What can/should I use it on that I can't use chems?
2) Can you use hot water to accelerate the cleaning power?
3) I've read alot about soda, but how about recovery. It's usually necessary because most of my graffiti removal is in the cement jungle. I always recover at curbside. Will it ruin my filters and sumps?
4) more questions to come, but if anyone can help with the above, I'll be very grateful.
