r/pressurewashing

I have a new unloader valve and carburetter is rebuilt so I have no idea what to do now any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Can anyone identify this pump?
I’ve got an older commercial Gerni pressure washer with a Honda GX340 LXQ4 2:1 reduction engine. The pump/control assembly is stamped MAX 250 bar / 35 L/min, but there’s no visible pump model plate.
Mainly trying to identify the pump make/model so I can use the correct oil and order the right seals/service parts.
I’ll attach photos of all the castings/stamps. Any ideas appreciated.

Was gifted these rigs after i said i want to start an llc. Got the gx630 with udor 4.5gpm 5000psi pump working. The older one haven't touched, but its a gx340 with a 5gpm 2500 psi pump. Worth getting going too or just stick with the big one? Want to do surface cleaning in vegas and maybe some soft wash if I can figure all this cool shit out?

It’s not horrible but I’m pretty displeased with myself. The wheels vibrated and left little indentations in my concrete patio.

I have a client that’s looking to get this roof looking pure white how would you even bother? Or would you take the job

Hey guys. I am pretty new to pressure washing. I started by washing my own property and then family and friends property (cheap or free). I’ve got one client from word of mouth so far. I was also able to negotiate a lower price on a pickup truck with a local to do some cleaning work as well.

I’m having a VERY hard time getting my next few clients. I have door hangers as you may have seen from my last post. I put out 25 hangers itemized with description of work as well as a quick quote. I put out 50 fliers blank. I also have lawn signs. I put a sign on my own property for over a month and not a single call (perfect area in my town). I have installed signs for 2-3 weeks at all of my friends and families homes where I was doing work. I had the signs out at the 2 other properties. I have excellent before and after pictures of all my work. All of my customers are very happy with the results so far!

I begrudgingly made a post in a local Facebook page. Everyone in the small town is on the page. Not a single inquiry. Only 2 likes. Zero comments. 19,000 members on the page.

NO ONES CALLING 🤣🤣🤣. I’m completely dead in the water.

I am in Canada. The economy is pretty sh*t here right now. I don’t want to blame my marketing failures on this but what the heck is going on? Are these services not seen as worth while in Canada? Should I try to shift my business to commercial?

Any help is appreciated thanks. 🙏

Hi guys, trying to figure out why my Predator 4400 psi/4.2gpm washer has really low pressure. Mid job it just gave out on me. Thankfully I have a backup washer but can't figure it out. I'm really good with changing the oil and pump oil on it. No issue with the hose because my other machine worked fine using all the same equipment. Thinking maybe the unloader valve? Hopefully my pump is not fried. Please help. Thanks guys.

I’ve been experimenting with local-service business templates in Framer and recently built one for a pressure washing company.

I focused on conversion-oriented sections like booking, pricing, before/after comparison, service areas, testimonials, and estimate forms, along with scroll/hover animations.

Would love some feedback from other Framer designers — what would you improve before considering this finished?

My compact 4GPM Predator budget build has lasted for over 5 years with countless hours of residential and commercial service. The 1 inch Predator transfer pump is very new but we’re gonna put it to the test and see what it can take 👍

This is embarrassing. Such a noob question I'm sure. I bought a 20L container of SH and I have no idea how to open it. See photos.

Aside from that round cap on top, the entire container is one solid piece. The cap spins freely and doesn't feel like it engages with any threads. I've tried typical child lock techniques like squeezing or pushing down while turning. Nothing seems to do it. There's a tab which I'm sure is important. I've tried pulling it up, down, round and round. I've tried prying the whole cap. It'll lift but won't come off, and I'm reluctant to apply too much force because I don't want to break it.

I can now smell bleach, so evidently I've managed to break the seal while fiddling with it, but I'm no closer to getting inside.

Please help.

I have tried everything but cant get rid of this stain. After removing my above ground pool I noticed this outline. I want to say maybe the algae or pool chemicals caused this over the 3 months the pool has been up but I am not 100% sure. I have purchased a gas pressure washer and used Zep and other things like liquid chloride diluted to 5% and I cant seem to clean this up. Any tips are welcome.
