Getting my popcorn for this one thanks Mike Amazing how much water comes through that 1.8 orfice lol crazy. If water makes river stone smooth it can tear anything up.I love this business.These videos are like the cream on top of the milk.

[@bobbylindon9885]

Great video!!!

[@TheFreshRinse]

Thank you Bobby!

[@daco8252]

Great explanation, to summarize smaller just means less dilution of chemical and less volume. That's why we should use a by-pass system when not spraying chemical.

[@TheFreshRinse]

Yes and absolutely!

[@mateot8428]

@@TheFreshRinseI understand that part but can you switch the orfices out without switching pressure washers. I have a 4gpm and got confused on that part.

Thank you!!!

[@TexasWatchman]

Great video, Mike. Are you pulling straight from a separate batch tank where you mix your soap and SH, or are you pulling from a manifold setup of some sort? That would be a great follow-up video.

[@TheFreshRinse]

Thanks for watching. I’m pulling straight from a tank. But no mixing. I do not use a surfactant

[@TexasWatchman]

@@TheFreshRinse Ahh! I actually remember you saying that in the past. Thanks, Mike!

[@rheaflambeau9343]

Question about your setup. Do you just plug the whip line from the hose reel that you want to use to the end of bypass? And what does the second ball valve on the end allow you to do?

[@TheFreshRinse]

Yes. I pull out the length of hose I need. The ball valve allows me to turn of the flow of water, so I can connect a long wand or surface cleaner without turning off the machine

[@seattleprowash5464]

yo im a noob how do I make a downstream drop stick? just curious

[@seattleprowash5464]

The Wash Doctor giving truth bombs

[@TheFreshRinse]

LOL Thank you sir

[@wademoore5941]

Hey Mike, what are your thoughts on using a check valve on your down stream injector. Is it needed? Thanks so much.

[@TheFreshRinse]

Great question Wade. If you need more chem, it’s a great tool to have. Also, it will last much longer than the ball/spring method. I have 2 of them. They come in handy when needing more chem.

[@drowization]

Very informative, again, but when is your book coming out,,,, lol

[@TheFreshRinse]

Thank you my friend! I can’t even read, much less write.

[@palmtree8604]

I use a 2.1 when cleaning gutters. That's 2 hands and 1 tarp. 😎👊

[@577buttfan]

Haha good one!

[@TheFreshRinse]

BOOM!

[@johnwitt586]

Mike great video! I have a similar set-up like you do. Flowpro with an 8 gpm. When you use a 1.8 injection orfice do you have a drastic loss of pressure while in soap mode?

[@TheFreshRinse]

Yes. That’s why I won’t go to a 1.5

[@johnwitt586]

@@TheFreshRinse I've never tried a 1.5. Do you have really low pressure while soaping when you use a 1.8 injector orfice?

[@TheFreshRinse]

@@johnwitt586 I have never tried a 1.5. And I won’t try it with the 8gpm machine. The 1.8 causes a decent amount of engine struggle. The 1.5 would overwhelm my anxiety. LOL

[@mateot8428]

@@TheFreshRinsewould I be fine with a 1.8 or 2.3 with a 4 gpm pressure washer? Thank you for the video

[@zacharnett9574]

Have you done a draw test with each orifice size with the 8gpm? Curious what your results were. Thanks

[@TheFreshRinse]

I have not. It would be so minimal that I’m not sure you could get an accurate measurement.

[@pedromatosmatos1767]

Thank you for sharing improvements for high pressure washing. I have an integrated downstream 1.8 and with a 100ft hose it doesn't work. Do you work with shorter hoses to work or do you have any recommendations? Thank you for your talent

[@TheFreshRinse]

I’m not sure why that wouldn’t work. I use 200 feet regularly

[@pedromatosmatos1767]

@@TheFreshRinse Thanks for responding! My pump is 4 GPM, 4000psi. Could it be related?

[@mikesimmons1012]

I couldn’t not find the injector in question on Southside Equipments website. Maybe I’m missing something. Or maybe it’s just not listed. Great video!! “What a loser”.

[@TheFreshRinse]

That’s why I said to call. I should have mentioned that.

[@30iuoenyc]

Mike, how does your pentair proportion system come into play with a specific injector?

[@TheFreshRinse]

I’m not using it anymore. Just one more moving part.

[@jamaicalove8483]

So im running a 4.0gpm with 2.3 12.5% SH,im new to the mixing and pressure washing and would love to know the mix ratios..please and thanks..

[@TheFreshRinse]

That’s a good mixture for you. Prolly 1%

Thanks again do appreciate it,I sub and like..

[@RUreddynow]

Wow, I got schooled, you can Answer the phone via the watch. Just kidding lol, I got schooled, thanks for the school Mike , you're the bestest!

[@TheFreshRinse]

I appreciate you my friend!

[@seattleprowash5464]

I never thought about that, the way it pulls more chem is by flowing less water, in other words, another way to increase your chem is to throttle down your machine, correct?

[@TheFreshRinse]

Yes. Of course, you won’t be able to shoot as far/high… especially in rinse mode, where it’s most important.

[@577buttfan]

I think it pulls more chem cause the more you restrict the water the more venturi pressure you get at the injector port thus pulling more through that line.Bigger hole less pressure=less suction at the soap port.My guess.

[@seattleprowash5464]

y@@TheFreshRinse I noticed that. Actually the 1.8 injector puts my 8gal into bypass mode, does that happen with your 10 gal? And we need every % we can get when it's 40 degrees out with 2 week old SH

[@TheFreshRinse]

@@seattleprowash5464 That actually does happen, yes. I do not run the 1.8 with my 10

[@seattleprowash5464]

@@TheFreshRinse thank you!

[@lifeontheroad_]

Are you using high pressure with downstream injector? I am only able to pull chemical with low pressure tip, which is limiting me from reaching high parts of a house.

[@TheFreshRinse]

Yes. I use an M5 Twist

[@jeremyeubanks2387]

if doesnt use anymore chemical why wouldnt you use the 1.8 year round?

[@TheFreshRinse]

Great question: 1. It doesn’t allow much volume, so it doesn’t shoot as high/far… and puts a heavy strain on the motor 2. You stand a greater chance of burning plants. 2.3 I. The hot months is perfect gift me.

@@TheFreshRinse Haha good stuff

[@colonialfiend]

A 1.8 uses more chemical than a 2.3. good content for your next video is a draw test between the two.

[@TheFreshRinse]

If it does, it would not be significant. And prolly not enough to notice in a draw test. I’m guessing, obviously.

[@TheFreshRinse]

I’m sorry that I didn’t take your comment seriously. As stated in my FB apology, you deserve better. I will do my best to make the video that you have requested within the next week. I can’t make a promise that it will be, but I will do my best. Please accept my apology. I will absolutely try to do better, and be better.

[@johnmakbuilds]

That was funny! (What a loser) 😂

[@TheFreshRinse]

LOL Thanks for watching John

[@Mattoxwashes]

If you carry spare injectors and pretty much have to disconnect it anyways to get the orfice out. Why don’t you just have one injector set up in each orfice size?

[@TheFreshRinse]

I only keep an extra injector in the event it goes bad. I try to wash with 2.3 at all time. Except for these cold days
