Our first year of boiling. 330 taps on a 2X6. I'm planning ahead to cleaning the tubing system. We have 200 vertical ft of elevation with 1500 ft of mainline and 4000 ft of laterals. I'm trying to justify buying a mid-range pressure washer to make the job easier.

Does anybody have any experience with what pressure works best. I'd plan to assist with an air compressor. Am planning to use hydrogen peroxide either thru the water supply or thru the pressure washer's detergent system.

Thanks
Dale

I run about 60 psi and have similar elevation rise, but a bit more mainline out. If you get too much air and not enough water, reduce your psi. I don't think you'll need a pressure washer. I just combine water and air compressor.
