I buy some chemicals and some cool equipment accessories from Envirospec.
I love Pressure Tek's F-13 Gutter Granade - I have tried to find something locally that gives me the same results as F-13, but I have not been satisfied with anything else yet.
Everything else comes from a local pool supply company.

Except for my 12.5% that I buy from a local pool supply house I would have to say that all my other chems such as Soaps, Degreasers, Ox, equiptment etc... Comes from Lori at PWP. I used to deal with another local vendor until I met Lori. After seeing the great customer service and all the products that PWP carries I decided to make them my #1 vendor. kind of a one stop shopping...

Paul is a great Guy, he takes care of the customers for sure. Great prices and good catalog also.
I give Paul two thumbs up!!!
Mr. BOB from Pressure Tek, Bob has certainly inovated many roof products. He has changed the roof cleaning industry. Bob was probably the first dist I know of to cater to roof cleaning guys.
Bob is a must to check prices and his customers love him....
If I was in the roof business he would be in my phone for ordering.

Always good to have backups, always keep channels open between others dist is a smart business move.
Lori & PWP gives great service for sure, price are great also. She is likley the starter but keep someone on the bench incase you need them.
All contractors should have backups...
Back up for this Back up for that...

E-spec's catalog is phenomenal! I love that thing! It is great bathroom reading material and I always have a copy saved in a PDF format on my computer.
I wish I could find a local supplier that had great customer service, but I haven't been able to find one. I can buy my Ammonyx Lo or M from Univar, but they don't give me any type of service. They are over an hour from me in Baltimore and Philadelphia. It would cost me as much in fuel to drive there and pick up the few things that I need so I just order it from PWP.

Yes, Bathroom Reading Material is what it is all about
Harbor Freight is a great read in the bathroom, works ok for toilet paper too, in a pinch
Have bought machines and other supplies from Pressure Tek # 1 choice and best customer service.
Machine and supplies from Water Cannon.Good experience
Sunbrite supply .
E spec,Sent with wrong pump,Horrible customer service, and pretty much given the tough sh%% response. Easy response to give over the phone or in post.. Would love to see them do it face to face..

I think E spec is hurting now they are calling all their customers up and asking why they havn't been buying anything lately, I told them I found a supplier I like much better. I never really dealt with Paul but I think he should Fire that Mike dude, I personally can't stand him, but if Paul likes Mike they must be alike lol
Paul is cool, I always like envirospec for Truck wash and house cleaning chemicals. They work even better in your spray rigs. Check out emulsifier plus, Plexmaster, Limolene and the super suds sucker. John Allison has done great things in growing the pressure washing industry through education and safe chemical production. They also have a wonderfull non-profit aspect of their business as well!!
I use Them for suds, a local distributer for my raw chems, I like PWP for their pumps and parts. I also use Delmarva Rubber and Gasket in a pinch and www.ereplacementparts.com for my rebuilds on the compressor.
Mike was the absolute cause of my problem with espec.I asked if it had General pump and he said hold on and let me see,came back and said yes,placed order..Was told he must have misspoke but the Ar IS A GOOD PUMP..and Johns choice ..Had email for signature series where John states his pump of choice to be General.John would not talk nor return call about problem but posted multiple rants that got so out of hand that the post was pulled..
Still think it should be out there for everyone to see how He chose to handle this.. His rants took place while I was out working..Guess he couldnt get to the phone.. Their mistake ,But my options were to pay 300 for pump change or return at my expense for credit.

So what happened to E spec anyway I been dealing with them for 12 years, they used to be cool, do you remember a guy by the name Peter that use to work there, he was in technical dept, they sold out right. John Allison isn't the original owner is he?
Like Bill said they have decent suds but I'll never buy any hardware from them again.
The sud sucker is cool, I am not a big hardware fan for them other than that. I have never found a distributor that was perfect they all have issues. Getting screwed on a pump sucks, but it won't make me not shop there ever again. I will buy All-flos from Lori all day long until a better pump hits the market.
NO a pump screw up would not make me never buy again, but not holding your personel acountable and righting the wrong on their end will..Your oppinion would change if you could view th post..
