New products?

[Paul Kassander]

What type of new products would you like to see developed for your work?

[PRESSURE PACKED]

A Trigger With A Jet Ski Type Of Release For Safety So I Would Not Have To Pull The Trigger All Day

[Beth n Rod]

A spray gun with a one or two finger trigger instead of the full hand trigger.

A sprayer pump that can handle full bodied stains and have adjustable psi including being able to serve as a double duty sprayer to apply chems with.

Rod!~

oh, one more thing...An oil sucker to pull out as much oil and sludge from the crank case as possible when changing oil. Something that can be bent and maneuvered to get into all the corners.
I have tried cranking the engine while changing after removing the oil filter to remove as much as possible but there is always a small amount left. I am trying to remove all the heavier sediment that builds up in the bottom to reduce wear and tear on the internal components.

They sell them at any auto parts store. Its a syringe.

There is a drill-operated pump that will suck out all the oil and it is like $15.00 and they sell it everywhere. I got mine from the Hotsy dealer it was the Briggs & Stratton brand but Northern Tools sells them also for less. The best way to do the oil change would be to drain all the oil and then use some less-expensive oil to add to the engine to rinse or flush out the bottom stuff that has the metal bits and sludge I usually do it this way until the oil comes out clean and you know you got it all out.

A hose wipe. Maybe a round squeegee that you wrap around a hose when reeling or rolling it up. I know a towel will work, but then you have a dirty/wet towel. Something durable and sized so that it will fit over pressure and supply hoses.

P.S. Wll royalties be paid? lol

Think there was some old timer method for sludge that involved using trany fluid or gas to desolve it..Does that sound familiar to anyone?

Paul, You asked so...I want a downstreamer sytem with comparable draw rate to that of an xjet...
Feel free to limit it to a sidelined discrete position from main flow via ball valves etc. that limit it to temporary use. ..so how much does an xjet draw if in the downstream position anyways?..lol

Rod, they make a pump that works off an air compressor for that very purpose. Works great.

You want chemical...we have an new chemical induction pump that gives 204 oz a min of chemical to a downstream injector. We also have the Super Suds Sucker that works on up to 500' of hose. Look under downstream injectors.

Yea thanx, seen what you have & seen the pump...thought you were interested in coming up with new stuff though. Why mention Super Sucker though if it doesn't do a couple gpm draw like I want?
Seems to me that the possability of a high draw at the machine position via plumbing and hydrolic engineering the venturi's to suit is always dodged as then both the existing xjet/m16/ as well as some regular downstreamer applications will be obsolete....
Just cause we don't see such an item available doesn't mean it can't be done. In fact I was quoted on a custom made for a few grand so even the engineers know it is possable..

But thanx though Paul.. I'll consider the pump..

I like to have some kind flow switch ,instaled on pump inlet .To shut off the
engine , when water is not coming to the pump.To prevent pump from runing
without water. Somthing like" Allison engine terminator" only sensing not temperature but water flow.

simply install a flow switch before the pump.

Run one wire to ground
Run another wire to the hot side of the key switch.

The engine will ground out and shut down when the water runs out.

I mentioned the suds sucker because if (i don't know) you are having problems with draw on longer lengths of hose it will help to remedy that problem.

As for the new technology I agree that is what we are looking for, we are looking for a better solution and different ideas from the daily operators because in the end you are the ones that really matter as the end users.

We developed the chem induction pump as a less expensive alternitive than the few grand type system you mentioned. We will look into it though I assure you.

Great ideas, keep them coming.

We are currently working on this with a special 3/4" inlet vacuum switch so there is no restriction to starve your pump of water. In development and coming soon.

Great Idea!!!
