Recovery systems

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

California started requiring pressure washing companies to recover there water in 2001. Water recovery is a major part of pressure washing. With out water recovery water that is filled with oil, grease and other contaminates would run in to our cities storm drains and run in to our oceans. There are several different ways to recover your water a few are. Dual stage vacuum with a boom attachment, a simple sump pump that has an automatic shut off when water is below a certain level. Your dual stage vacuum system is much more complicated and much more expensive. the simple sump system you can pick up at any local hard wear store. We also use a filter system our filter system consist of 7 different filters. Our dual stage vacuum sucks up the water and sends it through 7 filters which is mounted on the trailer then pumps the water into a separate tank on our rig. After pumping the water in to our extra tank we are able to then reuse the same water. It’s one of the best systems on the market. Here are a few pictures

PSI & GPM

Friday, April 10th, 2009

When buying or using a pressure washer most people are concerned with the PSI (pounds per square inch) more then the GPM (Gallons Per Minute). The truth is that the GPM is were it’s at, you only need 3000 to 3500 PSI to get the job done. The GPM on an average machine is about 2.5 to 3.5. The machines we use for Pressure Washing is 7.0 to 8.0 Most pressure washing company’s use 5.0 to 6.0 which is good but not great. You get better quality work and you get the job done much faster with the higher GPM.
