[@rayh4112]

Nice piece of kit. Nice one 👍

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Certainly looks it doesn’t it. Hopefully lives up to expectations

[@benvagg]

Great video as always, reallly helped me out. Top bloke 👍🏻

[@FlawlessCleaningServices]

That’s such a compact unit, won’t take up any room.. look forwards to seeing your Jobs with It Sid 👍🏻

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Yeah mate literally ideal for me. Cheers matey 💪

[@completeexteriorcleaningse750]

Quality Sid what a great piece of kit no chance of mixing incorrectly ie to weak or to strong so same results everytime and no wasted bio

[@onetruecharlatan]

I wish I had 3 bar out of the mains. Living at the top of a hill, Severn Trent supply us with 1.5 bar. I use a Clarke SS booster pump to produce my water. Nice move and the Ova8 pole will be a boon for you Sid. Congrats fella.

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Ah nightmare! Im going to have to remember to check the water pressure on every quote now! but for while the backpack is still alive i'll be using that for the low pressure jobs and get a pump sorted at some pooint soon. Can't wait for the ova 8! Thanks bud!

[@hauntedbywolves1980]

Brilliant little unit. Although it’s slightly more expensive than the Pro Green Algoclear (official) softwash unit, I prefer this one as it has an inbuilt reservoir. Works great with OVA 8 setup too, I’ve modified my pole with a quick stop valve. No stopping you now mate, well done 😃👍🏼

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Yes mate I feel the same I did have the progreen on order but cancelled last minute. You’ll have to send me your setup mate as my ova 8 should be arriving soon!

[@MrDaza1010]

Great bit of kit, careful you'll definitely have the big boys running scared now!!

Can you please tell me where you got the brush from and the hose reel please mate enjoying your vids

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Great video, i've seen these before, very briefly, and always wondered what was in the box and how it worked, now I know 😁👍, Cheers Sid, top man.

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Cheers mate I had spotted them too but also no clue so decided to do some research. Full confidence it’s a worthy investment. Thanks mate 👍💪

Good video mate, well explained. They really don't have a downside!

Good man! Thanks sonny, nice to get the approval from someone who uses them! 👍💪🏻

[@csutton140784]

Hey Sid really helpful vid mate, can you tell me the name of the attachment you have on your 6mm hose? Looks like a tap also the attachment that you have on the hose in your pole that would connect to it? Thanks mate 👍🏼

[@daveyprice7266]

i like your vid top man i live in london and do gutter cleaning and roofs i am a bit old school but you vid made thinks a bit easyer cheers stray safe cheers davey

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Glad I can help mate, sometimes just takes someone else to say something and you go.. oh yeah..Happens to me all the time. Stay safe bud!

[@julianhawker7672]

You would be wise to splice a double check valve into your mains fill hose , where it goes onto the outside tap, as many of your customers outside taps won't have one built in....... This will make the unit comply with water bylaws for backflow prevention, as it looks like it won't ATM and you would be in a lot of trouble if any biocide got back into the water mains. HTH

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Yes thanks Julian! Already on it! I read up on it the other day and overlooked it in the video!

[@neilstokescvwshrewsbury7939]

Be interesting to see this in action !

[@peterwood3108]

@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning i appologise, for taking up any of your time, thats an excellent set up, may i be so bold as to inquire where i could buy the kit you have, including the boxed D07RE5 Dosatron.

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Hi Peter the dosatron is from GKPRO, google their site and you will find the contact option, I’m not sure if they’re selling it publicly on the site yet but if you email them you can order through there :) if there’s anything else you need info on then let me know 👍

[@peterwood3108]

@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning thats really decent of you to reply, i honestly thank you for your information, i have always cleaned roofs of with an electric pump sprayer, or pressure washer, but never on 10x6, or hardrow tiles. Seeing your great videos is very interesting, and enjoyable to watch, .

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

@@peterwood3108 Thanks peter I appreciate it mate :D

[@pressurecleaningsolutions7896]

Where is this from looks like a brilliant piece of kit

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Hi mate I got it from GKPRO.CO.UK may have to email them as its not for sale on the site yet

[@ched999uk]

You have been on a spending spree :-) Sounds like you did a great deal on the dosetron, I thought they were about £800 just for the unit without box, tank, pressure reducer etc. It should make the end of your days a little easier. Looking forward to seeing how you get on.

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Ah i know mate, few weeks of being tight for now I think xD Yeah I always thought you'd be looking over a grand for one but this is a weaker model I'm presuming that is only rated to certain pressure but that's fine for this line of work anyway! Cheers mate hopefully it's as good as it looks, I really don't want to be disappointed

[@midlandscleaners1705]

D3RE25 is the expensive one £800 + as it mixes at higher ratio of 4 - 1, they use a different dosatron for biocides as ratios are only 50 - 1, ps there painful to work with if your pumping straight from the dosatron through the reel as you lose all pressure much better to use a buffer tank and pump from there

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

I will keep that in mind thank you mate, I’m going to shorten those hose on the wfp reel and have a longer 3/4 inch hose instead and see how it goes with that for a while till I get a pump sorted if I really need it 👍

[@cristallimpezas6565]

Nice kit What is the Dosatron model ?

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

I think it was D07RE5 :)

[@benvagg]

How do you find this dosatron mate? They say it only does 0.8-5%

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

@@benvagg perfect for biocide, i wouldnt run hypo through it, would be way too weak. most bio applications are from 20-1 to 50-1

[@chrismuetcelia]

Good morning I'm from Belgium and I speak French so excuse me for the Google translation :) I am interested in this dosatron system but I read in the technical sheet that it injects a maximum of 5% of chemical product (hypochlorite prohibited) what brand of very concentrated anti foam for roofing do you use for this system? me the anti foam to dilute is at least 10% and sometimes it's 20% because the roof is very dirty... great your videos Thanks a lot have a nice week end Christopher

[@marmite.]

Nice and compact..

[@user-has-left]

Sis can you explain your pole and hose setup? I see 3 different hose diameter from the out let side.

[@paulhickmott2271]

Morning Nick. I see you are using an expandable hose. Do you think this is better than a reel hose? I ask as it seems a more lightweight compact option but some others have said they are not really practical. What is your view please?

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Hi mate it’s Sid by the way ;) I don’t normally use one of those hoses it’s just what’s always on the garden tap, to be honest though if it was longer I’d probably use it for work

[@grondheise]

Great kit, when you get used to it, please do a video of you detailing everything again all the way to cleaning the roof it would be great information to have and all the costs, including the pole you use. It may sound that your repeating yourself but your not cause of the all new DOHSA Tron in a box. great kit though

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Will do mate! Will be trying it out in a few days!!

[@rossmould7847]

I want one!

Nice one Sid. should save you loads of time. 👍

As long as there decent water pressure I’ll be flying 👍

[@squeakycleandave1]

@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning see how it goes. You could always fit a pump to it

[@steelwindowcleaningltd5986]

Hi buddy is the dosatron self priming can I use.my wfp tank as a resivior?

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

yes mate just release the pressure once you start running water through it

[@paudielyons3918]

If water mains pressure is low are you in trouble? Is it expensive?

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Yeah if it’s below 3 bar it won’t work properly that’s why it’s good to have a booster pump. But worst case scenario I’ll still have the back pack on hand ✋

[@JetWash4U]

Another awesome video. These guys should through u some freebies :)

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

I agree! Going bankrupt at this rate xD

[@JetWash4U]

@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning I know the feeling. What is the highest pressure that machine takes? I can't remember if I commented on ur trade secrets video (I was listening in the bath, then auto play kicked in) keep sharing (knowledge should be shared) and there is plenty of work to go around (plenty of seats at the table) keep up the good work

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Honestly I’m not sure but I know max lph is 700 and lowest is 5. And cheers mate I completely agree, we’d be stuck in the stone age if we all kept things to ourselves

Can you use it for sodium hypochlorite?

Disgusting! Years of trade secrets released to the public. Great bit of kit. I remember the days of constantly filling my Gardiner backpack and eating up precious time. I’ve recently upgraded and it’s changed my life. Enjoy

What hose are you using?

Hi mate it's 6mm red hose from window cleaning warehouse, can't really recommend or not yet as I haven't had chance to put it through it's paces

[@retrowoodi]

@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning did you thought to clean roofs with pressure washing machine?

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

@@retrowoodi hi mate I will when the right job comes up, Idont have a conversion kit so id prefer to pressure wash a good condition bungalow instead of trying to scramble on a two storey with a lance. I'll get a full steam setup once I have a big enough van for the jobs that want the instant result

[@retrowoodi]

@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning I'm just thinking about it but I don't know if pressure washing damaging tiles. I wish to find legitimate place to educate myself about it.

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

It’s hit and miss, if done correctly and on the right type of roof it’s fine. There’s a fine line between a roof too far gone and a roof that’s too new.. I’m not an expert on pressure washing though so I may be talking rubbish. I think steam cleaning is a better option overall, less pressure and a thorough clean

[@Vision_comics]

What % does the Dosatron go up too?

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

i think 30% mate im not 100 sure on that though, could be 35
