How To Pressure Wash WITHOUT a Pressure Washer Part 2 - House Wash for Rookies

so we got a new toy and we're gonna try it out today on my house and see what happens let's dig into this and see what we got this is the Chapman CH API n multi-purpose metered sprayer so basically you've connected to your garden hose and you got the squeeze handle just like a regular garden hose sprayer now what this does is it siphons with a screen with a tube so you put your water weight chemical in here in other words not thick stuff you don't put honey in here it's not gonna siphon it properly you have to pre dilute it Specter sigh grass and weed killer is a little bit thick you'd have to a little bit dilute it and there's instructions that show you how to pre dilute before you put it in here but for today's purposes we're gonna wash my house and we're gonna use six percent bleach just regular Clorox six percent bleach because that is common what you guys are gonna find on a shelf at Walmart Home Depot Lowe's Kroger Publix wherever your shopping I think this will work better with 10% but we're gonna try it with 6% to get the principles down and if we have to adjust fire we'll adjust fire but here's the thing it'll siphon in the bleach and the Dawn dishwashing soap and the dawn is thick so the dawn will be diluted in the bleach and you just fill this up with the bleach and then you got dials right here and this dial with these arrows on this side there's little arrows here and here line up with your tablespoon so at 10 tablespoons which is where we have it lined up 10 tablespoons of siphoned bleach is going to be just under three quarters of a cup mixing with one gallon of water so one gallon of water is gonna pass through and be put on to my house and that one gallon of water is going to contain 3/4 cup of bleach just under 3/4 cup so to ask the dye luciene ratio right there that's gonna be extremely safe probably too safe for lawns and stuff like that because that's gonna be a big question is is it gonna hurt your lawns and that was my big question but that's also why I wanted to just go with the 6% it's common you can find it everywhere it should do the job it just might have a longer dwell time this video is not for professional pressure washers with 8 gallon per minute pressure washers ok this is for a homeowner somebody may be just starting out somebody with an RV maybe you got shed maybe you've just a homeowner with a vinyl house like mine and you're just trying to wash your house inexpensive this whole set up this went the gallon of bleach and a squirt of dawn that I left inside the house is gonna cost less than 30 bucks and the question is how far will the gallon of bleach go and will I be able to make my house look nice so that's what we're gonna go with this thing can also if you follow the instructions you can swap it from meter tablespoons 2 meter teaspoon so 10 teaspoons is the most amount you can you can apply or 10 tablespoons it comes factory set up with tablespoons also it's got this little thing here to spray fan kind of upward downward angle it so it's going on an angle or take it off and it'll shoot 30 feet straight up so you could like put insecticide and stuff like that on trees if you need it to so what we're gonna do we'll go ahead and fill this up with some bleach we'll hook up the garden hose we'll put a little bit of soap in here some dawn as a surfactant for two reasons one to loosen and lift the dirt off of the surface and also so I can see the suds and we're gonna go ahead and we're going to knock out that wall over there and we're just gonna see what happens when you're going to do this take this off of here right put your hose and put your hose head and on make sure you got your little o-ring there in there so it doesn't leak all over you make sure that your little lock right there is off so when you turn your hose on it doesn't get away from you and start going crazy make sure you're metered is where you want it to be and go ahead and put your bleach and your dawn in here or whatever soap you want to use and some dawn let's pie about three or four ounces we'll see how that works like I said it's got the siphon tube make sure that's on there good and a little filter screen there and that's it pressure washing a bottle so all we need to do now is turn our hose on and apply okay I have never used this so I don't know what to expect but I do see that this swivels which is kind of cool so you're not fighting the weight of the bottle as you're as you're moving around so that's kind of neat but let's check the spray pattern oh my goodness it's shooting up and if you can see the suds so it's siphoning very well see the suds and we'll disciplined [Music] and you can see your product going down as you go very big spray pattern I like it has a spray pattern similar to the black fan tip for the pressure washer I'm leaking right here I didn't tighten that properly my bad and I can reach my peak I am all the way up to the peak and if I take off this but take off this little thing here that's slippery 30 feet it says Wow so we are getting the peak nicely your question is going to be can you do two-story houses with this and the answer is absolutely not know you would need a ladder but one-story house mobile home sheds RVs so far this is working out pretty nice also I can smell a good amount of bleach I smell it it's working pretty well this wall and we got we've used that much bleach and we got that much still to go now when you're ready to rinse what it says to do is you can just unscrew this or you can use a different type of sprayer if you want you know like take take all this remove all this by just putting on a different handle you know your regular sprayer and rinse your house down that's probably what we're gonna do we're gonna let this dwell for a few minutes and we'll come back and we'll rinse so if you want to rinse what it's saying is you could just take your bottle off and then you can just rinse I don't know if this is going to have enough flow to rinse did I mean yeah I guess it I mean I guess it's not doing that at all look at that not too bad but another thing that you can do is just take your regular hose end sprayer take a regular hose end sprayer take this off and then go back and rinse okay I might ahead an ox which is just a normal hose end sprayer for the rinse yeah I'll just go ahead and rinse away the idea here is to make sure you got your windows pings Bob and just rinse off any of the loose stuff [Music] [Music] [Music] the whole wall is done that's pretty neat okay so pros and cons of this this little unit here pros don't need gas don't need a big expensive pressure washer don't have to pay somebody a hundred bucks or two hundred bucks to come wash your house you can do it as you want a little bit this weekend a little bit next weekend a little bit today a little bit tomorrow do the whole house in one time you could throw in household bleach you can if it's really bad stuff you have the option to go get 10% SH from like pool essentials at Walmart or Home Depot and Lowe's sells chlorinating liquid as well for pools you know look for the 10.5% sodium hypochlorite in the active ingredient there's there's you can use this for multiple different chemicals pesticides fertilizers you can mix all types of stuff in there it's adjustably adjustable metered adjustable adjustable metered its metered and adjustable so your options with this are really phenomenal if you put 10% SH in there and you find out you're just cutting too quick through it's like well I'm really you know what I can actually use less you can go from the ten tablespoons per gallon you can dial it down a little bit and make your material last a little bit longer it looks like one $4 gallon of Clorox six percent SH is going to do my entire house so that's pretty kick butt extremely low cost initial startup for under 30 bucks with bleach so that's also pretty awesome the negatives is if you're trying to make a business out of this you'll lose your ass in time you know you if this is all you got this is all you got you know what I'm saying I mean if you if you roll around in your lawn service with with this a little little device probably my hold on okay sorry my friends my son's friend's mother is supposed to be calling me because she's bringing her kid over to spend a day with my kids well she's moving so I thought that might be her calling it wasn't so more cons yeah the time that the time that's going to take you to wash a house compared to a four gallon per minute or better pressure washer or even even a low cost pressure washer this is going to take more time but if this is all you got and a customer is like oh the house really looks kind of yucky is there anything you can do can you help me out I mean do you know anybody whose pressure well you'd say yeah I can clean that wall for you right now for 50 bucks oh wow okay or I can do your whole house for a hundred bucks and you might not have had something scheduled for the next hour and a half you can add $100 to your bill as long as you can reach you know you got the bleach you got you got a way to do it you now have something on you that you can quickly do something and then also you can use this like I said for other chemicals and stuff like that if you wanted to don't you know don't put acid in there and try to like do concrete and stuff like that it's not you know know your limitations this isn't a pressure washer but this is a way that you can do a pressure wash job per se without a pressure washer and so it's just another option out there for you guys to try if you wondered if you can do it I guess you can because I just did it and and the house looks great I mean that looks really good I'm gonna go on and go to my back right now and do the back yard and we'll just keep on keeping [Music] [Music]
