pressure washer maintenance image
Matt
I'm curious to how you guys wash your vehicles engine? I just open the hood and go at it with a pressure washer, if you have a more efficient way please share it with me. Thanks.
Answer
i will give you some tips on how to clean your engine, the cleanness and safer way to do it.
1. cover the parts that are not to be wet, such as spark plugs, alternator, starter and fuses. You can use cloth first then cover it with plastic to make it sure.
2. clean it with kerosine first, you might use a paint brush to clean inner parts of the engine. You can use in engine degreaser if you want instead of kerosine to remove oil and dirt in your engine.
3. Then spray it off with high pressure water to remove the dirt. You can use detergent soap to clean it more especially the part that kerosine and degreaser does not remove.
4. you can dry it with cloth and spray with high pressure air to remove and dry excess water.
5. You can use wax under the hood and armorall to all black part of your engine.
cleaning your engine is one way of maintenance, you can do this as often as you want or feels like doing it. I suggest you can regularly clean your engine as often as you clean the exterior of your car. Hope this help!

anyone have any tips on getting a neglected hot tub back in working condition?
Ember Halo
we just bought a house that had a neglected hot tub on site. the water was filthy & ants took up residence. we've drained it, and cleaned it (pressure washer). what else do we need to do? do we need to get a hot tub place to come out & clean the pump & lines (it hadn't been run dirty)? what chemicals do we need & how do we use them? do we go to a hot tub / spa dealer to get answers & other services? or do they not do that?
thanks !!
Answer
Check the filters to make sure they don't need to be replaced. Decide on the chemical system you want to use. I use Bacqua Spa in mine because of skin conditions, but there are chlorine and bromide chemicals that you can use, too. Fill the spa and test the water which will tell you what the water needs. Capture a sample of the water and take it to the spa dealer who will assit you in purchasing the correct combination of chemicals. Each spa manufacturer makes their spas different, on ours we add the chemicals, allow it to circulate through the system for a certain length of time to clean the jets and feeds before we can use it. Ask the spa dealer to help you determine the model of spa that you have. Most of the time you can download a manual which is an absolute "must have" for trouble shooting, maintenance and care of your spa.
