There is a guy on RUclips that put a stop on the blue gun, and he uses the ball valve to turn off and on, and the stop never lets the pressure gets to high and it looks pretty safe the way he use it. Just something to think about. Good video thanks.
Just a heads up on the link to the Amazon DN10 ball valve in your description is for the BSP threaded version, not NPT. BSP is a 55° thread angle vs the 60° on NPT. Not sure if this is a mistake or not, just thought I'd let you know.
Man you’re killing me with them fiberglass ladder’s lol. I did a 4 hr gutter cleaning job the other day dragging a 32’ aluminum ladder around in 95+ degrees and it straight whooped my ass 🤣 love the videos bro!
Lol. 300lb rated ladder. Only 3lbs in weight difference. Aluminum 63lbs, fiberglass 66lbs. But I do agree hopping a 32 around a house all day does let you know you worked.

With your expertise and guidance on a technical matter related to pressure washing equipment. It is my objective to understand if it is feasible to connect a blue gun to a high-pressure washer operating at 4200 PSI for the purpose of stream washing. As we aim to optimize our cleaning processes, we are considering the integration of a blue gun into our existing equipment configuration. The intention is to achieve a more targeted and efficient cleaning methodology. However, we seek your valuable insights into the compatibility and practicality of this setup. In particular, we are interested in the following aspects: 1.Feasibility Assessment: Is it technically possible to connect a blue gun to a high-pressure washer operating at 4200 PSI? Are there any specific adapters or modifications required to achieve this integration? 2. Performance Considerations: What impact will this setup have on the overall cleaning performance, including factors such as water flow rate, nozzle selection, and the ability to maintain consistent pressure during operation? 3. Safety and Compliance: Are there any safety concerns or regulatory considerations that must be addressed when combining these two pieces of equipment? Are there recommended safety measures to ensure the protection of operators and the longevity of the equipment? 4. Maintenance and Durability: What maintenance procedures should be followed to ensure the longevity and reliability of both the high-pressure washer and the blue gun when used together? Your extensive experience and knowledge in this field would be greatly appreciated in helping us make an informed decision regarding the integration of the blue gun with our 4200 PSI high-pressure washer for stream washing applications. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your expert insights and recommendations.
Great comparison on the 2 guns thanks! Wondering what you ended up with on your surface cleaner? ✌️ Sorry, couldn’t stay in coffee club, things not been going well but, I do appreciate your videos and help for everyone. Take care brother!
i got a “pro” gilmour gun for softwashing, the adjustable pattern is so good. no clue what makes it a pro gun but it’s the only one they sell this side of the atlantic haha
an extra tank with pure water for the windows as a last rinse may be a wise option...... anything above around 20-30 ppm will leave spotting... Always best to know or test the water in the area with a TDS ,meter...... If you are throwing tap water onto windows there is a high chance when the Sun shines and you are looking out of the window that the windows probably look very spotty from mineral deposits. You could earn a little extra buy offering the customer a pure water final rinse..
Can you make a vdo on the unloader please , ive been hearing and seeing these blue and red guns lately , love the fact that you don't need to change tips
Really appreciate this, though I need to look into your system a little more to see how its all running, as we are newly working with a 12v manifold system. I was digging through your list trying to find the remote operated valve with no luck. Am I missing it or could you shoot me a link?
Hi ,great work bro. Nice footage I didn’t know I could use the blue gun with a 8gpm pressure washer? How is your set up ?I would like to try it with my 8gpm. Thanks

I think that blue gun will work as a regular pressure washing gun for your 8gpm. I think what they mean by 350psi is what the gun puts out. Is this correct?
I live in europe and we all have brick houses and cripi, can you also softwash the bricks like you guys do? We always use low pressure/100 graden water.
I got told by a couple shops not to adjust the unloader's factory setting because it can mushroom the needle inside. And don't use the blue guns pressure washing. It's been working fine for you so I'm confused?
Dumb question but…. Can Literlly everything get hit with a low %of bleach ? No matter the color or material? Or what materials should bleach not come in contact with? Just starting out. Washing my own house to try things out
How are you mixing the SH & soap into the injector? You have a buffer and an SH tank - no batch. I've been doing via a 3-way through my mix manifold.... water = off, soap + SH = 100%... to injector. You?
Once I started down streaming I just add soap to my SH tank everytime I fill it up. So the I injector is always pulling a soap/sh mix. I still have an independent 16 gal soap tank for my roof washing. So if I roof wash I pull SH and house soap along with roof snot
@@YoungAmbitionYA Ahh.... sweet. I'll give it shot and see how that works for me. That's a much more streamlined way to do it for sure. You're the man. Thanks again.
If the orange gun is hurting your hand, open it uo and see if it has 2 metal triangles in it with a roller and a peg in it, I forgot if the orange guns do. If it does, take one of the metal tiangles off and remove the peg. You might have to bang the tip of the gun on pavement to get the peg to slide out. Your wrist will thank you.
@@YoungAmbitionYA Yea ergonomics is no joke. That clicky peg assembly is dumb and can lead to cramped wrists. Really liked the video -- would have never thought of putting a flow unloader and washdown gun on a pressure washer
What brand downstream and ratio of it are you using, I currently use a comet p36c for my chems but also have a hotsy 1260ss powerwasher on the trailer also, considering downstreaming to get around the dependability issue with the 12 volts and gas pumps, also have the same gun as you use, only its the red one. My power washer is 5gpm by 3500psi
There's alot of guys out there saying that gun should not be used at all with a pressure washer including alot of websites that sell it im not agreeing or disagreeing was wondering your thoughts. Everyone that says not to use it is due to the possibility of the gun blowing up in your hand and or face just looking to keep you safe bud
Yes of course that's possible. But haven't seen any photos, videos, tests of it happening. Could be real or could be talk. Who knows? But what I know 100% fact is this is the best wash gun out on the market and works flawlessly, as of now, and it makes me fly through jobs. Everything in life is a risk I suppose. The unlloader malfunctioning is where the issue could arise. It's $100. Maybe I'll just use a brand new unloader every season
The blue YG gun in stainless is $350 online. Not cheap. I only see 1 source for it. Where did you buy yours from? Amazon doesn't have the stainless version.
I have it set to perform around 2500 psi using a turbo nozzle and using an M5 I get about 1000. It's a 3500 psi pump but changing the unloader settings and using different tips can give you more or less psi.
I was wondering why does everyone spray so much after all areas have been covered? It seems like your just wasting product. This is a question because I’m learning.
Would using the ball valve gun with the m5 would help get away from having to hold trigger all day long on those bigger jobs? I feel you in the trigger. hurting my hands and elbows . Thanks for the video!
Do you find going from soft wash to pressure wash with the K7 pretty simple? I bought all your download docs and see the K7.2 orifice. Still working okay?
