John,

Nice job. Thanks for sharing. Wish I was there to observe. Did you rinse with a booster pump?

Fantastic work John, I would love to know how you or Ray Burke ( the legend ) plan out these kind of jobs.

Eric Owen · SoftWash Systems Authorized Professional

Great work !! John.

Thanks Hank. Usually we use a booster pump, but this hotel had 23 hose bibs scattered everywher. there were 8 on the roof. I went up a week early to map it out, measure off hose runs and I tested the water pressure. The majority of the bibs had between 90 and 100 psi. It was great pressure for once.

It takes a little bit of planning, but I just see it in my head and map it out on paper. I measure off every spot I am going to stage from, how many runs of hose, and most important, I try to think of every bad thing that can go wrong. I come up with a written plan on that and then I hope I don't need too. It really boils down to preparation and my employees are awesome. We all work as a team and pretty much pick it apart.

Very nice work John! Is this the biggest single job you've done?

John Aloisio · SoftWash Systems 5-Star Professional

Thanks troy. it is the biggest cleaning job yes. Dollar amount, square footage and amount of days on one job. We have done entire 25 building apartment complexs that were larger, but did them over a month, a few days a week. When I was in the roofing business, this would have been considered a small to medium sized job.

My son and I stopped by while John was doing the job. He was sitting in a lawn chair with a blanket trying to stay warm near a rig, smoking a cigar, had a hat that said "Boss", 2-way radio in hand, keeping an eye on the mix levels in the tank. A real Jersey supervisor.

Great work john

It's a tough job but someone has to do it. Tim is just mad because they mad him get a scooter license for his Prius.

Did the same with my drink when I read John's response, "Tim is just mad because they mad him get a scooter license for his Prius." Love the camaraderie some people have. :0)

Keep laughing while I will be driving to orlando and back north with 45 gallons of gas in January. Just wait till I get the ladder rack and trailer hitch mounted

Or you could just buy a sidecar for a small motorcycle....not sure if the prius can handle it though. I saw one for sale when I took my son to the circus. A clown was using it.
