I'm new in this industry and I know I'll learn more in the future, but this process is gold for a beginner like me. Appreciated!!!

If you are cleaning a roof at 5 percent mix and have 100 gallon tank get 50 gallons of bleach and pour it all in the 100 gallon tank then fill it with water that's a 5 percent mixing ratio.

Hey Scott. I've been following u since you got started. We both bought the Northern tool Soft Wash System. I liked it. It paid for itself already and I made some upgrades to it. Like I removed the heavy stiff clear hose and put on 150ft of flexzilla 5/8 garden hose and its so much lighter and flexible. I made my own pvc wand with ball valve and quick disconnect. But now since I'm getting more experienced. I stopped using the Northern tool Soft Wash System and I bought the Northern tool 26 gal tank $50 and Northern tool 5.5 gpm 12v pump $160 I put the 150ft flexzilla 5/8 garden hose on the pump and for the suction hose I cut 5ft flexzilla garden hose for the tank. The pump I have a filter on it and i used 1/2m to 5/8 barb fittings for hoses With the 5.5 gpm pump compared to the 4gpm man it's shoots like 10ft father and more water volume! Bigger tank is better too. This has made a huge difference!

It might be worth mentioning the thing with the 4 to 1 issue when it comes to down streaming versus soft wash. Like, if you're doing down streaming, it'll apply a 4 to 1 ratio to it, but if you've already diluted it with water the way you would have for soft wash, now you're using _way_ less bleach than you had intended.

[@whyareyousopoor2478]

what about for concrete? what percent would i use then ? Also, if i get a Xjet, do i do these same percents or is it different for Xjet. For example, Vinyl siding it's 1% for like a pump sprayer is it different when using an XJET?

[@jamesphillips9682]

Sorry to bother you man but I'm not dumb or nothing but I cried don't get it because I'm down streaming I'm working on building me a soft washing machine right now so I was thinking if I fill my tanks up with pure sh 10% and I'm downstream by the time it gets to the end of the gun it should be 50/50 correct about 5% I understand what he's saying if I had a soft wash setup I would mix in the tank like that you know 50/50 but since I'm down streaming if I did it fifty-fifty it would be more diluted by the time I got to the nozzle because I'm down streaming and it's going through you know it's pumping water behind it it's already mixed with water correct

[@robertfling6173]

@@jamesphillips9682 im not 100% sure what you are asking but even at 50/50 mix with 10% SH you are running 5% SH out of your gun. That's enough to nuke most plants and shrubs even if you pre-wet them. If you are down streaming you need to do a draw test with your machine and figure out what's going on and mix your chemical/water accordingly. For a house wash like 1.25% percent SH is more than enough. Hope this helps.

So a softwash system with a smart blend system question. If I blend the water at 50% and Bleach at 50 % with a12% bleach , I would be spraying a 6% concentration of SH correct? Or a 100% water and 50% SH would be a 3% .
