Should have hose reels lined up. Have 150 ft of 2" hose and 150" ft of Solution hose.

Need:
Door filler?
QD Covers for SPICY HOT QD's

Pursuing new wand/rotary
Researching hand tools

Anything else??

A driving license?

You need 200 ft. of hose, and what the heck is "door filler"?

 

[jstucky]

Door filler is the door jamb filler from Interlink so cold and hot air don't get out.

 

[Charlie Lyman]

IICRC membership?

 

[davegillfishing]

Stair tool, brushes for uph and spotting, grout brush, pump sprayer, walk off mats, chems, spray bottles, blocks and tabs off the top of my head

 

[Able 1]

Get the door drape from Bane...

On the 150' of pressure line I would get a 100' line for your first and 50's after that. The less connections in the house the better.

get your self a good inline filter, it will help keep your waste tank filter clean and help maintain good airflow

150' of hose will reach 90% of homes but only 75% of commercial accounts.

QDs? Really? You're just starting with a new TM and you're worried about the QDs? I wear gloves it's easier to do everything with them on anyways.

New wand is mandatory. You must get a high flow titanium wand.

Hand tools? There are too many to list so it really depends on how often you'll use it and how much you have to spend. I use a hydrokinetic tool I bought from steamway years ago so I don't know what to tell you. Probably get a saphire or a hydromaster on if I had to get a new one.

You need a stair tool unless you plan on doing stairs with your hand tool and if that's the case just throw yourself off a cliff instead.

Anything else? Yeah lots, how much time do you have? Scheduling device i.e. i-pad or on your phone. Paper work i.e. work orders and/or proposals. Chemistry i.e. presprays and emulsifiers and stain removers. An inline sprayer etc etc etc

A 4 jet wand,corner guards,foam blocks,microfiber towels, and a strap for hoses when on staircase.

 

[juniorc82]

what kind of machine are you getting?

 

[MicahR]

do yourself a huge favor and get an automatic hose reel. You'll thank yourself many times over.

 

[jstucky]

Junior, it is custom built from frame. Roots 45. 18HP. 1800 PSI Hypro with Heat Exchanger.

As I stated earlier, I hope to be getting a Hotsy 350,000 BTU system to adapt to also.

both of my tm's are are 14 and 15 horse units with 33 blowers, I wonder if an 18 hp motor will getting overworked trying to turn a #4 blower. Most tm manufacturers put a 36 blower with an 18 horse. Anyway I have a hotsy post machine on my tm and its a beast you will love it . In fact the only draw back to laying down that much heat is you will eat hoses quick disco's and k valves for lunch from running that high of temps. I had some porty's that claimed to reach 200 degrees but feeling true consistatnt 200 plus coming off a tm is a whole differant ball game
