[Blue Frog Systems]

Hi all.

Am looking at adding pressure washing to my services this year, aiming mostly at existing customers as an additional service.

I'm  getting a list of kit that I'll need and wondered what your kit list is ? How much length wise of hoses and other bits ?

Cheers

Gx390 - 21 lPM P/W and pump or Lonchin equiv
Wheelie bin as a tank
1 meter lance
2 meter lance
20 meters 2 wire 3/8 hose
10 meters 1 wire 5/16 hose
2 turbo nozzles
2 hi/lo vario nozzles
1 15 degree nozzle
30 meters of hose pipe (3/4 bore for better filling speed)
chemical injector (adapted to fit lance)
on the lance use the mini quick release system for quick change overs

I think thats a basic set up -

if your mobile (ie not fixed into van) get one on a handled trolley (see Qwashers) those half trolleys are a nightmare when pull starting
go for a vrt unloader not a k1 style

If you want I can sell you a super hotbox that will really propel your p/w business - going up for sale tomorrow

Also have another machine set up in partner van with 400L tank

We only do pressure washing as add ons for our regular customers but they have a few big sites.

A petrol leaf blower is a handy thing to have.

a watering can to apply Hypo

I guess you will already have window cleaning kit

A wheel barrow to carry all the cash you’ll earn to the bank  (it’s an old joke but it still tickles me😊)
