Just wondering what ideas / methods are being used to wash SS syrup barrels? Any ideas for some type of a pressure sprayer?

I just got a turbo nozzle for my pressure washer. I will be setting the barrels on my elevated platform, bung down and insert the nozzle in the open bung. Using permeate it should be clean in a few minutes, clean water may take a few extra.

Will your pressure washer suck the permeate or do you have it pumped to the washer, is it hot?

4200 psi pressure washer with a spiral turbo nozzle and a gutter cleaner ( looks like a U shape and attaches to wand nozzle end to get around corners ) from northern tool with plain water. the gutter cleaner works great on areas that you usually couldn`t get with strait washer wand

Once my suction hose is full it will stay full. I wouldn't try it without filling the suction hose first. Many pressure washers want the water to lubricate the pump. Once I fill the suction hose I can even lift the water if needed.
