Okay I fired this rig up and so far this is what I learned: The hose reel will just work for awhile, but a real "reel" is needed. When draining the hose, drain it back into the tank or bucket, otherwise your looking at some major "love'' in places you don't want. My 4-banger is rusting, I th...

Okay went to Home Depot and found some rubber material, $12.00 a roll, 2.5' x 6'. Got home, applied Liquid nails and then shot some staples into it, just to hold it, I then used clear silicone to seal the staples and or any holes. I moved the tank to position it over the axle, tip from the RICA folks, problem...

No New Posts Hypochlorite Onsite generator
 
(Preview)
I ran across a company that makes hypochlorite generators that can produce on demand hypochlorite from 40 to 4000 gallons per day depending on the size of unit needed.  The technology is the same as used in the chloro-alkali industry, just on a smaller scale.  Has anyone seen or tried this?

Been thinking alot about adding one to the arsenal.   Anybody used a 24' pressure washing extension pole to get those "tough to reach" spots on roofs? I am thinking of the ones pressure washers use that extend to 24'.  Why cant we put it on the end of our hose and let er rip?

Has anyone used a simple drill pump as a SH transfer pump for any length of time?  I wasn't able to find any reference to drill pumps with the search function, although  I'd think that surely others have tried it? At 8 bucks a pop, they're practically disposable:   http://www.tractorsupply.com/hom...
