02/3/05 20:26:38 scottk: snow.....................eewwwww...we had sleet last week but it only lasted 15 minutes

02/3/05 20:27:53 scottk: we can start them sometime in late March,,,,,,but we do very few
02/3/05 20:28:16 BethnRod: what do you do mainly?
02/3/05 20:30:02 Rod: tropicalwave, anything you'd like to talk about?
02/3/05 20:30:19 BethnRod: *welcome*
02/3/05 20:30:47 scottk: mostly commercial concrete and house/roof washes
02/3/05 20:31:13 tropicalwave: actually, I was just putting together my shurflo tonight....UPS got it here this morning
02/3/05 20:31:16 Rod: I dont like heights! Me stay on the ground where if I fall, my butt aint far! LOL
02/3/05 20:31:36 Rod: gotcha, a new toy
02/3/05 20:31:51 tropicalwave: oh yea...lemme ask a ?
02/3/05 20:31:52 BethnRod: shurflo's rock
02/3/05 20:32:19 Rod: shoot
02/3/05 20:32:40 BethnRod: *whip*
02/3/05 20:33:03 tropicalwave: if I spray oil sealer thru it, how do I clean it out....cleaning a pump up is easy, but how do you clean the pump, wand, gun and 100 feet of hose?
02/3/05 20:33:42 Rod: You can keep spraying till the pump stops sucking, then introduce your clear water into the line...
02/3/05 20:34:18 Rod: What psi is your new pump?
02/3/05 20:34:22 tropicalwave: thought Id have to spray paint thinner thru it or mineral spirits, but that would be flammable
02/3/05 20:34:43 tropicalwave: 1.2 60psi
02/3/05 20:35:01 tropicalwave: ALL viton
02/3/05 20:35:03 Rod: you can use either, expensive but feasible
02/3/05 20:35:16 Rod: the sealer is flammable too
02/3/05 20:35:39 tropicalwave: big sticker on it that says, "not for use with flammable liquids"
02/3/05 20:35:47 tropicalwave: lol, thats true
02/3/05 20:36:37 Rod: I use mine for spraying chems. The size you have is fine for spraying sealer.
02/3/05 20:37:00 tropicalwave: I guess I could use different hoses for stripper chems then change out for the sealer
02/3/05 20:37:20 tropicalwave: Ill spray stripper and acid, but not roof bobs
02/3/05 20:37:29 tropicalwave: ooops, jobs
02/3/05 20:37:46 Rod: you could.
02/3/05 20:38:12 tropicalwave: we dont get the roof problems up here like down south
02/3/05 20:38:21 Rod: are you mounting this or creating a portable setup?
02/3/05 20:39:27 tropicalwave: its gonna be primarily for wood, yes, got a rockin hand truck today, all the nuts n bolts, just need to assemble, get a battery and box
02/3/05 20:40:41 Rod: sounds like a cool set...
02/3/05 20:41:20 tropicalwave: I got the 1/4" barbs and 1/4' line...Im hoping I dont regret not getting the 3/8, but 3/8 seems to big for sealer
02/3/05 20:41:42 Rod: if I may recommend something?
02/3/05 20:41:59 tropicalwave: go ahead, please..................
02/3/05 20:43:03 Rod: Breco industries makes a male and female connector that when they are unconnected,
02/3/05 20:43:22 Rod: The flow is shut off and allows for change overs that have less mess.
02/3/05 20:43:40 tropicalwave: example ?
02/3/05 20:44:01 Rod: unlike QC's, when you disconnet them, water can still come out...
02/3/05 20:44:15 Rod: In these nothing can come out, the valve shuts .
02/3/05 20:44:20 tropicalwave: I see, like a ball valve ?
02/3/05 20:44:31 Rod: without the ball, it is spring loaded.
02/3/05 20:45:01 tropicalwave: where do I put that? at the pump before the hose or inline somewhere?
02/3/05 20:45:15 Rod: both.

02/3/05 20:49:14 Rod: you can get one at a marine supply store, they will help...but...they can also seize up if you dont keep the system wet.

02/3/05 20:58:54 BethnRod: he's a hydrotek dealer
02/3/05 20:59:09 Rod: no trailer though.
02/3/05 20:59:25 BethnRod: if you can save a few K on the deal it is worth looking into
02/3/05 20:59:48 BethnRod: tell him Beth & Rod sent you please.
02/3/05 20:59:52 shadow: i got a friend that is a trailer dealer so thats ok
02/3/05 21:00:06 shadow: i will do that
02/3/05 21:00:06 scottk: i built our set up for under 8K by doing it myself
02/3/05 21:00:42 tropicalwave: Beth N Rod, are the F series wood products on sale thru the 5th like the HD and EFC ??
02/3/05 21:01:01 BethnRod: No. Just the ESI products.
02/3/05 21:01:20 tropicalwave: I figured, thought Id take a shot though
02/3/05 21:01:33 Rod: scott, good way to go if you have the know.
02/3/05 21:01:36 shadow: with me being new i want to buy my first one then after that i can build the rest
02/3/05 21:02:00 scottk: that was with both hose reels,tanks,16" surface cleaner.48" wand and gun.250ft of pressure hose.200 ft filler hose
02/3/05 21:02:16 scottk: Mike this was our first
02/3/05 21:02:40 BethnRod: Tom is a great guy. Can't go wrong with him.
02/3/05 21:02:52 shadow: really how many gpm
02/3/05 21:03:14 scottk: 5.5....i just didn't see the need for anything bigger
02/3/05 21:03:15 shadow: and is 8 gpm to much
02/3/05 21:03:26 shadow: for me
02/3/05 21:03:47 Rod: not if you have a tank.
02/3/05 21:03:53 BethnRod: 8gpm is not too much if you run two wands.
02/3/05 21:03:58 shadow: where is tom out of
02/3/05 21:04:00 Rod: 8gpm and 2 guns is a great set up
02/3/05 21:04:09 scottk: it isn't too much if you will benefit from it.
02/3/05 21:04:11 Rod: PA
02/3/05 21:04:17 BethnRod: right.
02/3/05 21:04:26 BethnRod: our first hot unit was 1 gun.
02/3/05 21:04:43 shadow: did you out grow is fast
02/3/05 21:04:59 shadow: it fast
02/3/05 21:05:05 BethnRod: our very first machine....ready for a laugh? a used, refurbished cold unit 2500psi
02/3/05 21:05:16 scottk: Mike what you will find is most companies run within the 5gpm area
02/3/05 21:05:25 BethnRod: no we still have it.
02/3/05 21:05:35 BethnRod: we added a truck and got another machine
02/3/05 21:05:36 scottk: and they are very fast and successful with them
02/3/05 21:06:02 BethnRod: 5gpm is a good one.
02/3/05 21:06:22 scottk: we have a Largo amchine and have been very happy with it
02/3/05 21:06:28 scottk: machine
02/3/05 21:07:35 shadow: we will have at least two guys working on the machine at a time so two wands makes sence to us right
02/3/05 21:07:45 shadow: since to us
02/3/05 21:07:53 Rod: doubles your productivity
02/3/05 21:08:07 shadow: so with that siad is 8 gpm better?
02/3/05 21:08:28 Rod: for that reason yes...
02/3/05 21:08:51 shadow: also i was wondering if any of you have a sample of a maintance agreement for a comercial account
02/3/05 21:08:59 Rod: you may want to consider renting or purchasing a meter for using fire hydrant water to refill
02/3/05 21:09:25 shadow: i am also in need of a final name for the bus any ideas
02/3/05 21:09:29 Rod: depends on the type of manitenance
02/3/05 21:09:42 scottk: if you will use it all the time...it would be,however,you'll find that with a 2 person crew it helps to have somoene free to pull hoses and premix chems
02/3/05 21:09:53 shadow: monthly bi anual quarterly?
02/3/05 21:10:01 shadow: what other types might i need
02/3/05 21:10:07 Rod: again, depends...
02/3/05 21:10:25 shadow: commercial
02/3/05 21:10:29 Rod: wood, annual clean and recoat.
02/3/05 21:10:55 Rod: comm...quarterly
02/3/05 21:11:00 shadow: no more along the lines of surface cleaning on sidewalks lots and the like
02/3/05 21:11:00 BethnRod: Mike, call me on the phone on the name thing....I have several good ones tucked up my sleeve.
02/3/05 21:11:19 shadow: will do
02/3/05 21:12:06 shadow: we have a lot of new commercial industrial going in around us right now
02/3/05 21:12:18 Rod: scott, good suggestions, the crew seems to work great with a dual setup. both spray at the same time and then wash the same way
02/3/05 21:12:25 shadow: an i would like to capaplitize on it
02/3/05 21:12:53 Rod: plus, they premix the neutralizer to be ready when they are for it.
02/3/05 21:13:13 scottk: doing wood it would be great to have 2 guns
02/3/05 21:13:49 scottk: we do more commercial concrete...drive thrus etc than wood so i like the extra eyes and hands for hoses and chems
02/3/05 21:14:33 shadow: so u got one guy usingthe gun and the other working the hoses
02/3/05 21:14:39 scottk: yes
02/3/05 21:15:02 shadow: like the side line crews at football games
02/3/05 21:15:12 scottk: the other guy in my case is a girl/woman(the wife)
02/3/05 21:15:24 shadow: what if u had a three man crew
02/3/05 21:15:35 shadow: we may us a friend for bigger jobs
02/3/05 21:15:50 Rod: we used a 3 man crew, 2 guys spraying, 1 mixing and moving the hoses...
02/3/05 21:15:53 BethnRod: Women rock ;)
02/3/05 21:16:00 scottk: then you would benefit from a 2 gun set up
02/3/05 21:16:29 scottk: she'll work circles around most men
02/3/05 21:17:02 Rod: I wish we could get more women interested in this field, they work really well since it is creative...
02/3/05 21:17:12 shadow: any pics of rigs avail?
