Start with a system

Soft Wash System Bundles

Pre-matched pumps, controls, and plumbing simplify setup and deliver predictable, low-pressure output for roofs and siding.

  • Purpose-built for soft washing—reduce risk of surface damage
  • Consistent performance across common residential surfaces
  • Compatible with popular house-wash detergents

Portable 12V Sprayers

Compact and serviceable units for quick jobs, tight access, or as a dependable backup to a dedicated rig.

  • Lightweight footprint for rapid deployment
  • Scales easily as job volume grows
  • Simple maintenance and field repairs

Build your setup

Soft-Wash Pumps

Select chemical-compatible diaphragm pumps sized for your target flow and lift. Prioritize reliability and easy parts availability.

  • Match materials to your chemicals
  • Size for desired reach and application speed
  • Flush with clean water after each use

Proportioners & Batch Mixing

Use proportioning or batch tanks to standardize mixes and reduce on-site guesswork. Label containers and follow chemical directions.

  • Consistent results job to job
  • Faster training for new technicians
  • Supports repeatable, documentable processes

Hoses, Reels & Plumbing

Choose hoses and fittings built for chemical exposure and flow. Reels improve setup speed and reduce trip hazards.

  • Chemical-compatible hose and seals
  • Efficient layout for faster tear-down
  • Strain relief and clamps at wear points

Nozzles, Tips & X‑Jet

Use wide-fan, low-impact patterns for siding and shingles. X‑Jet and specialty tips help extend reach while keeping pressure low.

  • Control pattern and dwell without over-application
  • Dial in reach from ground where possible
  • Standardize tips across rigs for consistency

Shop Pressure Washer Nozzles

Protect vegetation by pre‑wetting, diverting runoff, and rinsing thoroughly. For techniques and checklists, see our plant and shrub protection tips.

Application basics by surface

Surface Approach Equipment Notes
Asphalt shingles Low-pressure soft-wash application focused on chemistry and dwell time. Apply from a secure position; avoid disturbing granules; manage runoff to gutters.
Metal or tile roofs Low-pressure application; keep water out of laps and underlayment. Use wide-fan patterns; watch footing and overspray on walkways.
Vinyl siding Apply solution evenly; allow dwell; rinse thoroughly from top down. Select tips that reduce streaking and limit intrusion behind panels.
Brick, stone, or stucco Use gentle application; verify compatibility in a small test area. Avoid forcing water into cracks; protect adjacent metals and glass.

Always follow chemical labels and local regulations. Avoid high-pressure on roofs, use appropriate fall protection, and keep overspray away from people, pets, and power lines.

House & Roof Washing FAQ's

After every job or workday. Run clean water through the pump, hose, and nozzle to help extend service life and maintain consistent performance.
Wide‑fan, low‑impact patterns help spread solution evenly and minimize intrusion. Choose sizes that keep delivery low pressure at your target flow and test before full application.
12V pumps are affordable and simple to power; air‑driven pumps suit higher duty cycles if you have adequate air supply. Choose based on required flow, lift, and maintenance preferences.
It depends on your workflow. An X‑Jet can extend reach and meter solution using a pressure washer—handy as a backup or for specific jobs—even if you run a dedicated soft-wash rig.
Pre‑wet soil and leaves, divert runoff, cover when appropriate with breathable materials, and rinse thoroughly after treatment. Never leave solution pooling in beds.
Use low-pressure soft-wash delivery and let the chemistry do the work. Avoid high-pressure on shingles or delicate roof materials; follow product labels and test first.
Not always. Follow the detergent’s label for each surface, start with the mildest effective mix, and adjust only after testing a small, inconspicuous area.
