    Does this look like 1600 PSI? Pressure washer not working

    Hey folks. I thought the motor itself would provide all the pressure and the tip was more to choose between different spray patterns. They even provide a soap dispenser that doesn't have a tip at all and connects directly to the first part of the "gun". With the turbo tip, yesterday water...

    Does this look like 1600 PSI? Pressure washer not working

    Hi. I got this small pressure washer years ago, used once and stored. Motor makes noise, seems like pressure increases a tiny bit, but I think it's far from what it should be. I tend to think it's not an obstruction if there is a stream when it's turned off. Watch video to see water stream with...

    Need help. Can't clean fine particles off garage floor!

    Have a 1600psi greenworks but motor is running and not increasing the pressure. Something is off unfortunately. I will try some kind of acid. See if works.

    By the way, in case this is relevant. When I got the concrete slab redone I covered with HD40 and burnished.

    Need help. Can't clean fine particles off garage floor!

    The idea to use something acidic is to try to dissolve this powder on the floor? Cause it's not a stay that I am trying to remove, and sometime the go of harsh cleaners are to remove stains.

    Need help. Can't clean fine particles off garage floor!

    Thanks for responding. it’s possible. Now that I look at pictures from when I bought the house, the foundation was already painted. Do you think a strong cleaner might be able to break it down, is that the thinking? You think formula 88 could work? Thanks

    Isn’t that sometimes with sand, wouldn’t potentially make a bigger mass? The material is not fine in the sense of being light and raising. It can’t even get picked by vacuum max suction. So it’s fine but heavy it seems.

    Need help. Can't clean fine particles off garage floor!

    Hi all. In the process of cleaning the garage floor, water ended up breaking down some white particles from the foundation wall and I can't get rid of it. It's some material the GC applied to foundation wall years ago, could be just paint, or something else. I have tried hosing it out...

    Successful application of Legacy HD40

    Hi all, just finished sealing the garage with HD40 and wanted to share with the group. I did a major construction last year by converting half the garage into living space (with permits), which required digging and laying a brand new slab. I wanted to apply some kind of treatment to garage to...

    Treatment for my new garage floor?

    Thanks, have some follow up questions. Do I skip the densifier? What would be the incremental benefit of adding the densifier in the real world? And will it require etching? For 500 sqft, the calculator is telling me to get 2 gallons, but isn't 1 gallon supposed to cover this? Is it because...

    So, this is what you are recommending right? http://www.garageflooringllc.com/clear-water-based-acrylic-sealer-concrete/ Applying a densifier before is even better? http://www.garageflooringllc.com/concrete-densifier/ Thank you again

    Treatment for my new garage floor?

    Digital moisture reader. Just by putting pins on the floor. My wife's car will be parked there, so there could be some drops, tire marks, etc... here and there...but I don't plan to change oil or fluids in there. Not cheap because the actual densifier is not cheap? So is this an oil based...

    Treatment for my new garage floor?

    I know what porous and smooth are, but not sure what that would mean in terms of the concrete floor. I assume the concrete is porous as it doesn't have any sealer, all concrete is porous if not sealed, right? And the surface is brand new, so it's somewhat smooth. Am I missing anything? Thanks
