I got mine from him - he gets slated by some but I found him sound and reliable

[Ashley Brothwood]

thanks ill have a look at ordering from him tomorrow

[BDCS]

Its either him, import or build your own. I have heard that a British washer dealer is working on a snide x jet

[Neil Jones]

I will have some for sale in a week.

[Smudger]

What price ?

Darran

[serj shergill]

Bit pricey, you can get it for less than half that price in the states and that's with shipping..

[Ashley Brothwood]

I've ordered it from the above link. Its not too bad considering that £180 is all in with recorded delivery and any Vat.
Besides to order it from the states may take weeks, could have import tax added on this side and any problems such as broken items or delayed delivery for a few quid saving probably isn't worth it, not when it'd pay for itself in the first job.

Sorry guys... I've got to ask, keep reading about the x-jet...

....but what is it and what does it do?  Apologies if thats a dumb question but I'm intrigued

Thanks.

I wish I had seen this link last week, had a decent sized job at the start of the week and was having to use a ladder and sprayer and couldn't even reach some parts of a rendered house with algae.

Will be looking into this for sure

Question for chaps that already use an xjet. Do you not find using an xjet on higher stuff like fsg, render cleaning etc chem spray drift and run off a big concern?

My point is after watching that vid say for example someone turned up and started spraying hypo about next door like that I'm sure you would not be very happy.  This is another one this time an xjet m5  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwI3f__jvs8

[Charlie Allen]

Couldn't agree more! I wouldn't be happy either. I use mine for spreading Chems on the floor

I have bought one of these:
https://www.benzsoftwash.com/products/spray-nozzles
Just screw on to the top of a WFP, connect and spray. I have a small pump trolley and a few 20L drums. I premix into the drums and pump at 8-9 lpm directly to fsg, render with very little drift. Spraying the premix from 1-2 feet away is also more accurate, so it ends up where it needs to be with less waste.
