We downstream, as well. We used to use an X-Jet and I am loving life since making the switch!

We downstream as well using an air diaphram pump. In the future, I plan on getting an x jet soon.

Downstreaming the solution seems to be the best way to go, but in some cases I will use my roof cleaning setup. My tips that I use in my ballvalve for roof cleaning, I also use that in the end of my pressure wash gun. I can really reach way up cleaning 2 to 3 story homes. No ladder needed here!

I use a 8gpm electric dayton pump, which is also my roof cleaning pump. I use the same setup to rinse alos, so I avoid SH damage to the pump

use the same pump set u I use for roofs. Have not found a house that is to high to wash from the ground with my pump. Most of the time I use the customers water to rinse with. I have tips I use that I can rinse the gutters from the ground 3 stories up with water from the house I am washing.
Soft washing siding is what people want. Everyone that calls me want's to make sure I do not use a pressure washer for house washing.

We use our flojet and rinse with a garden hose. We cleaned the roof and did this housewash in 2hours 10minutes. Softwashing Wilmington one house and roof at a time!

We downstream and rinse with a m5 xjet or ball valve for house washing, but we use the dedicated chem. pump for building washing and of course Non Pressure Roof Cleaning.
