SURFACE CLEANING HACK
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 сен 2022
- Here is a surface cleaner hack that will speed up your surface cleaning time. During the operation of your surface cleaner a vortex is formed on top of the spinning bar causing it to suck up and hold dirt, debris mud and rocks. To prevent this Fourtex from forming drill holes in the top of your surface cleaner to interrupt the vortex and allow it to release this mud and not build up. During the build up process they were spinning bar will contact the mud and dirt slowing it down and slowing down your surface cleaner. You can expect an increase a speed of 15%

- Taken 4, The Surface Cleaner
@@jeebuscrise4482 thank you for watching the videos! If you ever need any help, just let me know
100 dollar course on pressure washing. Smdh
I drilled 4 holes in my car tires and it sped up my car by 15%.
I love it!
Sounds like something for mythbusters.
or even better . project farm
Billy, one of the most forthright, honest guys out there in the industry. Listen to what this guy tells you.
So why don't they design these things with holes in already?
There is a shortage of hole supplies on the global market
If that was the case, why doesn’t manufacture install holes from factory ?
Engineer here. Because we have a big ego and unless you are a better Engineer what we say is last word. Sad but true, this is why most mechanics hate us engineers.
To control the amount of 💰 you make hourly
I’d take advice from someone in the field for 25 years before some ham n egger at a desk that hasn’t touched a tool in his life
@@TheMexicanU.S.Marine no you're not. no engineer would talk like that.
@@EnlightenedSavage thanks for enlightening us you freaking savage👌
I tried it and I think it helped, it seems so reduce how much water is caught and held in the washer
Homer: what are those holes?
Poster: they are speed holes, they speed up your cleaning by 15%
I see what you did there. I couldn’t stop watching after the complete cleanup
Sounds like crap
That's a quick way to void any warranty, lose compression along with effective cleaning ability of the surface cleaner 😮
Possibly void warranty but we find an increase in speed at a low end of 5% and a top end of 10%. Several manufacturers have reached out to us after seeing this video and are currently studying the effectiveness. From our last interaction with a major brand they will implement port holes to help with ventilation on the underside carriage of the hub. The ventilation holes disrupt a vortex from forming there for interrupting the vacuum that the vortex creates. Stay tuned for more information coming in a couple weeks! Thanks for watching and if you have any questions, just let me know.
@@billydavidsonvipwhich brand?
Drill Baby Drill!!
Drill baby drill lol
It’s science. He ain’t wrong
Thank you!
“By at least 15%”! I wanna see how studied that and arrived at your 15%
We know approximately how many square feet per hour that we can surface clean, then after drilling some holes in the top of the surface cleaner, it spread the surface cleaner up by least 10% in most cases sometimes it's as high as 20% faster
@@billydavidsonvip that’s pretty good!
Does this work on the hover type surface cleaners, or will this cause issues with the lift?
The lift is based off the pressure of the water coming out from the bar against the concrete, you’ll be good
How did you come to figure out your "15%" claim?
Easy. He calculated the placement of the 3/8” holes by the barometric air pressure times the PSI of the water divided by the amount of dirt = 15% 😅
He also added in the flux😊 capacitor
Let the drill bit do it’s job… jeez
😂😂😂😂
I can use this machine indoors
Do the holes just let air in to the housing? Is that premise!
Yes it keeps a vacuum from forming on top of the spinner bar which will hold dirt debris and rocks. This also allows the spinner bar to increase the RPMs which inherently increases the speed of cleaning
@@billydavidsonvip Ok I see now. Makes perfect sense. Thank you for what you do! 👍👍
You should drill 8 holes and then it will speed up 30%.
If I drill 28 holes, does that mean if will clean itself then?
@@tgodiver_Nah u need at least 39 holes trust me I do this._
If you remove the entire top you can run it in jogger mode.
Ahaha
What do you do if the surface cleaner stops spinning
Nice shoes for pressure washing
You like feet huh
I have a 30lpm machine (UK). I need a surface cleaner for walls and floors. I currently have 30inch surface cleaner but it's too big for some jobs. Should I get a 14inch for walls and can I also use it on concrete? Do I need to get wheels for it?
Same on the smaller ones, like a 15.5?
Your shoes are rad 😎
Will this be a good idea for the belt protector plate on the gx690s?
Nice
Not the right move and not the real problem. Rotors with brooms at the bottom trap derby and water at the bristles. You either need to run without them with just a rubber sheild betweenthe rear wheels or clreance the broom just off the ground or some sort of relief in the bristles (worn tires will reduce ground clearance). Drilling hole in the shield ment to protect you and keep you dry is just not a good idea. Proper sizing of the nozzle to match your pump is critical especially with smaller home owner grade as he using and make sure your pump is capable of flowing enough water to spin the rotor properly. I come from 20 years of pressure washing using small homeowner grade tools for small jobs to professional grade and custom built rotors.
How do you make some very valid points but we have tried this on a brand new surface cleaner and we've noticed the RPMs of the spinner bar increase. We've also noticed a minimum of 10% speed gain with surface cleaning. We've also had some surface cleaner, manufacturers reach out to us in hopes that they may re-engineer some of their housings and hubs to vent delete better.
Cool
My surface cleaner wants to fly, I put some weight on it, that helps. I wonder if this would help keep the pressure low and keep it from floating up 👨🔧
Nope. You’re still gonna float. Try getting a bigger surface cleaner.
You could also use larger spray tips
@Billy Davidson so I did that, I have a 4gpm machine and I put on 2.5 nozzles. It still wanted to fly even after lowering the pressure. I used some silicone and glued a couple railroad spikes on the back. It doesn't want to fly anymore🤣
I drilled 37 holes! I can run behind my surface cleaner now!!!
I also bypassed the governor
Can I use a pressure washer that exceeds the max of the surface cleaner psi?
You could, but you may have to idle down the pressure washer slightly to lower the psi
15%? Show your work
What surface cleaner are you using there?
24 inch hammerhead
How goes this help?
Hey that's Jacob
Hey do you know him?
Damn, bro. Why don't they do this in the factory? Because it doesn't work. Wouldn't they want to make the product better?
Yes, it increases the speed by at least 10% depending on your machinery. We've had three manufacturers already reach out to us with our new discovery. They having their engineers look into it and doing some testing currently and very possible implement some ventilation holes to help reduce the vortex that is caused due to the high pressure buildup under the hub. I spoke to one engineer extensively at a manufacture, and they going to do some testing in a vacuum chamber so we may see some changes coming to surface cleaners in the very near future hopefully!
I got a new gp 18" hammerhead, throws grease around inside. My 20" gp hammerhead never did this no matter how much grease I put in it, ? thanks. also...the angles of the part at end of bar that holds megs are not angled the same. by about 5-10 degrees
Hey, sorry I'm just seeing this comment but if you find my phone number on my personal website which is in the first pinned comment on this video you can send me a video of your surface cleaning and I can see what may be going on
@@billydavidsonvip hey thanks Billy! They sent me a new spin bar free finally, and I added a bunch of grease when it came pre-greased, my fault, think that's why it threw grease.
Hey quick question please. (Forget about money) but is there any bleach alternative product for killing natural growth for a house wash?
If so can it be downstreamed or applied with a softwash system?
I would like to have the option for customers who do not want bleach. Rather than lose the customer, I can upsell for the bleach alternative.
Thank you
Pureseal Oxiwash is a great option, but im in the UK so not sure where you are, anything "caustic free" is bleach free
There is something also called sodium hydroxide, but it is a little bit slower working for activation. You could also check out my website in the first pinned comment of this video. My personal phone number is on the website. Feel free to reach out to me and we can discuss other options rather than Bleach. Some customers just refuse to have Bleach used on their homework property which will raise the price and make the job a bit difficult but it still can't have a great results achieved.
Thanks for helping! If you all need any help I'm here anytime
Oxiclean
Warranty void😂
Seriously you have 7 holes not 4?
Let me go wreck my 5000 tool cuz a tiktok sed so
Hey, I won't hurt anything give it a try! It really speeds up about 10%
You paid 5k for a 300 buck accessory?? I only paid 1k for my 30 inch…
Not calling you a liar by any means but how did you come to determine that? Where is the vacuum generated
Kinda a venturi effect like a sludge sucker. Suttner st-36
I’m not rocket scientist wasn’t that more than four holes 😮
I disagree that it helps speed up but instead it helps with reducing the amount of dirt build up as you clean due to the air vortex from the holes pushing the dirt away from the cleaner.
We have measured on multiple jobs that it adds about 10% more volume to our square footage per hour
So I spend 300- 350 $ and make holes...hmmmmm 😏
It definitely will increase your speed about 10%. It's not much but every little bit counts.
@@billydavidsonvip 10% is allot of you ask me
Can all surface cleaners let out hot water?
Most professional services cleaners can handle water up to 175°F
Thx bro
Just waiting for the closest pressure washer specialists to come out and chime in now stop..
Well someone needs too. This guy is an amateur.
If you take off all the plastics away and hold it in the air... you'll increase your speed by light.
I'm an Engineer and I would like to have a little chat with you MR 😡

What’s the name of surface cleaner
Oh God you're the guy all these new people in these Facebook groups are asking about whether we should drill holes in the top of our surface cleaners Lord almighty any new people that are looking at this to try and get into exterior cleaning don't listen
It definitely helps speed the process up about 10%. It's not much but every little bit counts.
@@billydavidsonvipso it's 10% of 15%?
2003 I modified a John Deere 36" commercial walk behind mower
It should really come that way
Patents anyone???
Does this work for “Aluminum Surface Cleaners or just “Hard Plastic Cleaners. 🤓
I've never tried it on aluminum surface, cleaners but I can't see why it wouldn't help! On the plastic hub surface cleaners, we've noticed a minimum of 10% faster on our cleanings
@@billydavidsonvip Thank you Bill 🤗
Sounds like a water in the face trick
Well...I don't have holes n mine and I'm not drilling holes in the surface cleaner. 🤷🏾
Why don't they do that from the manufacturer
So, after making this video, a couple manufactures have reached out to us getting the specific details and their engineers are looking into it as we speak. We noticed a minimum of a 10% increase in speed which doesn't seem like a lot over an eight hour work shift it starts to add up.
@@billydavidsonvip thank my friend, much appreciated
Couldn't you just tip/lift it up from time to time to let all the debri free?
I'm not a fan of drilling holes in my tools if I don't need to.
you can always glue up holes like this with some silicone or super glue tho
What vacuum?
It’s a “pressure” washer which means there is constant positive pressure from water pressure and the pump which is upto 4000psi inside the surface cleaner at all times. You can actually feel this with the cheap plastic surface cleaners they literally take off like a hovercraft when you pull the trigger. Ain’t no way there’s a vacuum in there 😂
The vacuum are either low pressure forms just above the bar but below the upper hub we did a smoke test on it and verified
I'm not sure either but I have a cheap surface cleaner like you are talking about and it wants to fly up but as soon as you get it on the ground it seems to suck to it like there is a vacuum
What is that thing called?
it’s a surface cleaner…
24 inch hammerhead surface cleaner
It was a joke!!!!!
@@PatHaskell
We've noticed about a 10% increase in speed are using this method no joke
I mean, I was making a joke because you kept repeating “surface cleaner”.
That is a good modification. What psi are you using?
I don't see how holes drilled in the top does anything useful. Seems pretty useless too me.
Hey, give it a try it won't hurt anything at all! We found that it speeds up the RPMs on the surface cleaner by allowing the hub to vent better and not haul dirt and debris between the bar and the hub! We found somewhere around 810 to 15% gain in speed it's not much but every little bit counts
Nope, I prefer to use a swing machine and wire pad.
Surpace
Yall this is a joke.
I smell bull dookie
idk man I'm not sure about your myth 🤔 no disrespect
I'll never trust a guy wearing crocks while pressure washing
Until ur shoes or boots get drenched with water and sweat (they always do no matter what even muck boots) and your feet saturate and turn to prunes
@@jacrispyforpresident5736 lol
👍🏼
How to wreck your equipment in 4 easy steps
We have found that it does speed up the process about 10%. It's not much but every little bit counts. We have already talked to several surface cleaner manufactures, and they plan on putting vent holes in the top of the units.
Not a hack. It's a tip
It definitely works. Have you tried it yet?
@@billydavidsonvip still a tip
No before and after. Pointless
Uh surface cleaners are engineered to create suction for a reason🤦
Reason being?
So after we have discovered, putting some holes in the hub of the surface cleaner, we've had several manufacturers reach out to us. Their engineers have verified that our discovery could possibly be helpful and other testing is currently being performed. We have noticed an approximately 10 to 20% increase in the speed of the RPMs of the surface cleaner spray bar therefore increase in the speed overall

Let the drill bit do it’s job… jeez
Yeah, he was definitely trying to force it. Lol.
