It's probably a long shot finding someone that wants to trade info with me, but ya never know if you don't ask, right?

Weve got 8gpm machines for washing exteriors, but I hear that most big time flat work guys stick with 5.5 gpm machines. I guess they clean good, dont use as much water and dont create as much runoff.

Reclaim isnt a must have starting out. Maybe not after that either, depending on what/where you are cleaning.

Thanks Chris - great information.  Are your 8 GPM machines not capable of running at 4 GPM (x2 or otherwise)?  2  5.5 hot water machines would run up the maintenance costs, but I like your thinking..

Re reclaim, I'm in the early phases of research on that.  We have a couple of value differentiators with the roof cleaning business that have really done us well, and I see recclaim as one for flatwork, not to mention staying out of trouble with the feds.  (We're in watershed territory for the bay.)    Thanks for your insight. 

Demo'd this at the Myrtle Beach Round Table last year.

I would love to help you ...the problem is I try everyday to figure out the best way to clean and reclaim and it seems it changes on every job. Never the same way on any job.


One day I wake up and I think trailers are the way to go. Next week I'm buying a flatbed ...or I'm putting skids in the back of f250.

All thru the summer ...2 weeks ago I decide to sell all the equipment this winter and buy new units ........yikes


The good news I have other friends doing the same thing.


Here's one I,m selling this week.

7 hot water skids 5 surface cleaners...... I've cleaned 2 million.square feet of concrete since April 1
