Repairing and Prepping Stucco for Airless Spraying

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The presenter connects the pressure washer to a water source and prepares the system. He highlights the importance of using long hoses (three 50-foot hoses and one 100-foot water hose) to avoid constantly moving the pressure washer around the building. Before starting the pressure washer, he purges all the air out of the system, similar to an airless sprayer, by holding down the trigger until a steady stream of water emerges. This process removes air bubbles and primes the system for operation. He then demonstrates starting the pressure washer (pulling the choke) and begins cleaning the lower section of the stucco wall with the rotating nozzle.

Goal: Prepare the pressure washer for operation by connecting hoses and purging air.

What they say

the proper distance back but it actually rotates and spins so it agitates and cleans a lot better than just a straight um shot nozzle or a flat tip so the rotating tip absolutely loved them been using them probably for 15 years this is a mi-t-m 5000 psi rotating nozzle and it works great you can see this is the nozzle itself it has a filter on it too so it won't get clogged with anything we're gonna get going i'm gonna start pressure washing just gonna work my way around this building it's probably gonna take about an hour and a half to pressure wash it and then we're gonna let it dry a few days and then i'm gonna go through the painting process solo i'm gonna be painting this thing you know all alone once again so here we go let's um move on to pressure washing so i'm getting my pressure washer set up i like um i like to not have to move my pressure washer around you know at all so i've got three 50-foot hoses and a hundred foot i believe it's a hundred foot water hose so i don't have to move around my pressure washer at all and so you can sit in this one location i can probably reach the entire building you know with just um without actually moving it there's no plants and stuff that i got to work around so it would be easy to move if i did have to move it so one tip you know before you start just purge all the air out of your system so it's kind of kind of like an airless sprayer getting the air out the air bubbles and stuff and priming your system it's going to work all the air out and then i'm gonna start it up it's cold so got gonna choke this thing [Music]
