Q: Hi, Will this attachment work with with soda media? Thanks. by Ron on March 27, 2012
A: Yes, you can definitely use this sandblasting kit with soda media amongst many other types of blast media. by Brian, Product Expert
Q: Hello, My pressure washer is only 3.5 gallons per minute and 3800 psi, will this kit work for blasting rusty barn steel to prep for paint? Or is it maybe better to get the dsdbk1 that's for smaller washers? Or does it even make a difference what kit I get with the gpm of my washer being what it is? And most importantly will either one take all rust off barn steel? Thanks by Mark Ludwick from Michigan on August 25, 2011
A: With your pressure washer ratings, you would want to purchase this DWSDBTK. This kit would absolutely work with your machine and would definitely be able to remove the rust coating off of steel. You will have to purchase a nozzle in order for this kit to work though. The nozzles are listed in the same category as the sandblast kits and the size depends on the media that you would be using in conjuction with your pressure washer ratings. by Brian, Product Expert
Q: Bill: I have a one story 4 unit apartment building that’s about 2500sq and the parking garage is 1500 sq. I need to wet sand blast the paint off the stucco before I re-stucco the 2 building. I was thinking of renting the presser washer and buying the attachments for wet sand blasting. Can you tell me how big a presser washer I will need, the attachments, tools, what type of materials and about how much to wet sand blast both building?
by Ruben Ponce from California on April 10, 2011
A: With this wet sandblasting kit, you will need a pressure washer with a minumum of 3.5 gallons per minute output in order for this kit to operate correctly. For your application, I would suggest using around 2600-3000 psi rated pressure washer.
You will also need to purchase a nozzle for this kit in order to spray the sand and/or media. They are located in our wet sandblasting section under the accessories tab. The size of nozzle you need depends on the type/size of sand that you use. I would recommend that you go with a normal to fine round silica sand/media. In addition to the nozzle, the only other item you will need is either a bucket or hopper to hold the sand. by Brian, Product Expert

More Than Happy With My Purchase ( Worked Great)
Was going to restore my old tractor, looked it up on line. Was so glad I read the reviews. The man I ordered it from was so helpful, and I had never used one before.
As soon as I got it I started worked like a champ, not a problem. My pressure washer is only a 3000 PSI but worked great. Would have like to had a bigger one but really wasn't needed.
Pros:Features, Price, Exceeded Expectations, I'd Buy It Again
Cons:none

First Attempt At Using Failed
First attempt at using failed, don't know what went wrong. Water not coming out of nozzle with any pressure and hose was putting water in the media bag not suck media through hose. Help.
Pros:Durable
Cons:No information on set up or trouble shooting

John,
We're going to assume that you read through the information sheet to make sure you have all the parts put together properly. If not, the sheet is available under the Specs tab, to the right under Download Documents on the Product page.
If you have everything assembled properly, and worked through the troubleshooting tips on the sheet with no resolution, please give the folks at General Pump a call at (888) 474-5487. They will be able to help you figure out what you need.
We appreciate your business, and apologize for any inconvenience.
The product was shipped very fast and everything was in good order. My review is based on the fact that I am using a gas powered 4000 psi, 4 GPM pressure washer. I also purchased all of the available nozzle sizes.
This is not a super fast process and should not be compared to the speed of those mobile self contained units costing 20 to 70 thousand. I was up and running with this system, a new pressure washer and media for less than $1000. The nozzles are for the water jet that pulls the blast media. By having all of them you can better tune the unit to the media, pressure washer and the item to be blasted.
I have used this on heavy items like frames, rear axle assemblies and on automotive sheet metal. I have used crushed glass, sand, blasting soda, glass bead and coal slag. Blasting soda and bead or crushed glass produce the least flash rust and coal slag produces the most on auto sheet metal.. The use of soft or hard water had little affect on reducing or increasing flash rust. As coal slag is a little less than $15 for 100 lbs. it is the most cost effective.
Glass beads and soda worked great on original paint but slower on body repairs epoxy primer, heavy filler and fiberglass repairs. Crushed glass is more aggressive and I do not recommend for sheet metal as it cuts in too deep. I have found using coal slag on sheet metal at an increased distance and angle works well. By drying with and air gun and a light sanding with 220 greatly reduces the flash rust. It will also remove any blasting marks.
The key to steady blasting is dry media and the position of the media hose and pickup pipe. Starting with a 5 gallon pail tilted works great. Make sure the hose is straight as possible Eventually you should build a custom hopper that will feed the pickup pipe for smoother operation. I disassemble and clean the sand head every 50 to100lbs. of media. This will removed build up of wet media (especially soda) and give your pressure washer a break.
When this is going well you won't want to stop and your pressure washer is going to be under full load until the media supply is exhausted. I am very pleased with my purchase.

"They answered my questions promptly and directed me with contact information to others for any question they could not answer."
Bought the wet sandblasting kit and used some medium fine glass beads to get rid of the calcium deposits on my pool tiles. Worked great with no problems.
Highly recommend.

Missing Parts
I cant believe that you do not include the 6 dollar nozzles orifice (at least one) to be ready to use... it's like a car without brake pads... Completely disappointing- buy something, wait for it and when arrives result that i still have to buy more stuff.
Pros:WHOS KNOW...I BCAN USE IT
Cons:Expensive, INCOMPLETTE

Igor,
I'm sorry you were disappointed with your purchase. We asked the folks at General Pump why they sold the separately, and they said it's because they had no way of knowing which size orifice a customer would need, and including an entire set of nozzles would make the price too high- this way you only have to purchase what you actually need.
We make a point of saying "Nozzles must be purchased separately" in the Features so our customers realize they will need to buy one. The Spec Sheet PDF (under the Specs tab) shows the parts breakout and also lists the nozzle as "Not Included".
You will need to match the Sandblaster Nozzle to the media you select for the job you want to do.
We appreciate your business, and apologize for any inconvenience.
When the sand hose is dry the unit works great and does exactly what it's supposed to. But it's very difficult to keep water out of the hose and it clogs frequently. Makes for a very frustrating and sometimes slow experience.
I found that substituting a much shorter sand hose works much better at the cost of more limited mobility.
Pros:Durable
Cons:Difficult To Use, Unreliable

Very Pleased!
Fantastic product. Works better than I ever expected for stripping paint and rust. I restore old cars as a hobby and wish I would have bought this years ago. Saves so much time and effort. Great job!

Worked As Described!
Glad I have this attachment...used it this time to wet-blast fading paint and heavy surface rust off an old '80's Ford Ranger.
MAACO slapped some paint on it and it looks great...just be prepared to have sand everywhere.

This Really Works!
This is a quality product. I was able to hydro-sand blast the bottom paint and keel of my 22 ft sailboat in 4 hours. I used a 4 gpm 3700psi pressure washer and "medium" grade sandblasting sand from "sterling sand". The only issue I had was keeping the sand flowing - it is important to keep sand very dry. The job used about 700 lbs of sand.

"The only reason I'm giving you a 5 is because I had a problem with another product that was broken and you wanted to charge me a restocking fee. I wanted the product it was broken how should I be charged a restocking fee."
I looked at the notes on your file; it sounds like we thought you ordered the wrong unit & wanted to return it, not that the turbo nozzle was broken and needed a warranty replacement.
We will contact you directly and help you with the MTM Hydro warranty replacement.
A quick word about turbo nozzles- you should have them pointed downwards when you pull the trigger, then move the gun where you want to spray. If you have the nozzle pointed up the sudden pressure from the water has been known to jam the spinning disc inside the nozzle.

Wet Blasted My Old Ranger
This wet blaster worked nicely as it sanded the paint and surface rust off my 1983 Ranger...
It did a good job...used a little naval jelly and wiped off the flash rust with two applications then the truck went off to get some paint.
