Hi, best thing with that kit is everybody in town knows you got it, I reckon people will pay more for you to show up with that monster than just a pressure washer and a wheelie bin to put the water in. Still having problems round Brum with £50 a drive merchants and there karcher speed racers >:( lol

Good luck to you.

cheers trevor and john, if i get a hotbox, like i said i'll get one from malcleanse so i'll know i'm getting the right kit for the job, he really knows his stuff.

had a play today, machine is awesome. plenty of power, lovin it. did half this decking today, came up nice but feel there must be something we could put down as a prespray to get a better result. this was done with just water

derek-  its best not to use high pressure on decking. its best to treat with a pre spray then low pressure rinse off to leave like new. pressure on wood is not ideal.  :)

depending on what type of wood it is you should use sodium hypochlorite watered down say 50-50. spray on and leave to eat into the algae then low pressure rinse off. it should look like new.

i have heard some reports on her of idiots using turbo nozzles on decking  :o  :o  :o

i have seen rings and allsorts on decking after someone has used a fsc on full and destroyed the decking.

decking is a pain. make sure you price right as all the spindles and hand rails take ages and make sure you price right if your using extra chemicals.  :)

jamie they are a very good machine just make sure that you keep the diesel clean by replacing the filter regularly as the burners can be a bit tempramental if dirt gets in the nozzles this can be a real hassle if burner doesnt fire up when required and so floods the boiler with diesel
better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove any doubt

red diesel is ok just put a cheap plastic inline filter before the burner and change it regularly, they are see through and you can see when it is getting dirty. I change mine every month they only cost a couple of quid.
