Hello guys and gals,
What is a good solution/mixture to spray on a house that has alqae. I will be using a pump sprayer. The alqae is not too bad, just unsightly. The alqae is on the roof and sides. Should I spray and let it be or rinse afterwards? Thanks, Norm ..read more

I have the Simpson 3600psi, 2.5 gpm, gx200 Honda with the triplex pump.
What would cause the machine to heat the water noticeably?
I have a 50' pipe jet attachment that I was using on some 4" stormline recently. As I was dragging the debris back, the water was warm. Started to actually steam at a couple points. Cold water input, underground storm sewer (no heat source), machine running normally.
Is this normal and I just never noticed? I've had the washer a few years, used a dozen times...

Hi. Newbie here. Not a commercial washer. I have a 2700 psi blackmax. While moving it, One of the wheels broke off and I didn't notice I got dirt in the inlet. I hooked up the hose and it turned on fine but no pressure. I undid the hose and saw gravel in it.
Long story short after disassembling the whole bottom pump (several times) and cleaning all the cavities from debris (As best I could). I put it back together and still no pressure! I wonder if I got dirt behind the check valve ball...

To be prepared to do basic PW jobs such as driveways, walkways etc. I eventually want to upgrade to a full exterior washing rig, but as of now I am going to be limited to using my Prius as a work vehicle. (Yes, seriously) : ) I actually think it could work:
I have the hatchback for storing the PW and a surface cleaner. A trailer hitch with...
