Indeed I've found the best way to put them off is to tell them how much 25 ltr of the good stuff (resiblock product) costs.
Works every time 

That's true . So what about sealing patios , imprinted concrete etc are they worth doing ?

Without being funny I think you are trying to run before you can walk!  You have been out and bought yourself a load of gear and then you came on here asking for advice.  Nothing wrong with that, but a few have pointed out that the FSC you have bought is a bit OTT for that machine and advised you change it!  Then suddenly now you have jumped onto sealing and you haven't even cleaned a couple of drives yet!  My advice is forget sealing for a while and get yourself a couple of PW Jobs under your belt and then start looking into sealing afterwards when you have some experience of PW'ing

Firstly thanks for the reply . Maybe your right in the kind of person that's wants to know as much as possible so I do kind of come across as running before I can walk. But as far as the flat surface cleaner I'm not sure what the problem is as the machine that will be running it is a Honda gx390 and runs at 21litres per min ?

All i said was go and clean a few drives before you start worrying about the pro's and cons regarding  sealing.  If your happy with the FSC then use it!

As already mentioned below the weapon of choice for most that want to clean filthy, moss and weed infested block paving is a turbo nozzle that is rated for the type of washer being used.

Do you have a turbo nozzle?

If not I suggest you get at least one that is matched to your washer and practice a lot using one before you go out to do your first paid job.

If you are cleaning driveways what you really need is a mono rotary scubber and wet vacuum

What jetmac belt drive washer with an AR pump did you get in the end as gleaming don't cover pressure washing using a washer above 3900 psi ?

[Del Boy]

Sorry smurf you lost me ?

[Smurf]

Put it another way can you post a link to the washer you bought so I can take a look at the spec please.

[Del Boy]

Got ya. sure here's the link mate http://jetmac.co.uk/products/honda-gx-390-petrol-pressurewasher-3000-psi-21-litres-a-minute-ar-pump

[Smurf]

Thought so...did you buy it as a package? http://jetmac.co.uk/products/tornado-dual-tech-20-inch-stainless-steel-package-featuring-honda-21-litre-3000-psi-washer

If you don't mind me asking  what made you decide to go for a belt drive AR  (ANNOVI REVERBERI) pump?
Also are you based in Ireland?

[Del Boy]

watched a video on you tube and I got the impression that belt driven machines are better because it's easier to just change the belt if it was to snap.

[Smurf]

I've not tried a belt drive myself but all the same looks a good bit of kit 

[Del Boy]

Thanks smurf well it's good enough to blast an hole in the guttering lol

[Smurf]

Just goes to show what too much pressure and flow rate will do 
Now don't go breaking any glass as those turbos can be lethal with flying debris especialy too close to pee shingle, bad motar joint etc  lol

Take look at addseal very good sealers and I have never once had any problems when using it like a lot other sealers on market

[waterforce]

Because Honda don't make a cylinder single cylinder engine that will run a 202 pump. So you pump in not running at full chat...it,s only about 11 ponies. You need around 15 to run a 202 /Evo pump which in turn will run that FSC effectively.
We seal loads of driveways and patio's it's good money.

[Smurf]

Interesting... I take it you have tested this flow rate out then or have dual pumps confirmed this?

Hmmm... now that is confusing to say the least   ...http://www.dualpumps.co.uk/products/SA202__Interpump_WS202_Pump_RS500_Gearbox_Assembly

[waterforce]

Do dual build the same spec machine?  If they don't there will be a very good reason.
