Powerhouse is a professional-grade chemicals. In stock and ships same day from Sun Brite Supply in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
Product Overview
Professional-grade cleaning chemical for pressure washing applications.
The right chemical does most of the work. Pressure alone does not remove organic stains like algae, mold, mildew, and oxidation. Chemical treatment breaks down the stain at the molecular level so the pressure washer can rinse it away cleanly.
Always follow the dilution ratios on the label. Stronger is not always better. Over-concentrated chemical damages surfaces, kills landscaping, and wastes product. Get the ratio right and you get better results with less chemical.

Compatibility
This chemical works with standard pressure washing application equipment:
- Downstream injectors that draw chemical into the water stream after the pump
- X-Jet (M5) nozzles for applying chemical at distance without a ladder
- 12V pump systems for direct chemical application at full strength
- Batch mixing in a dedicated chemical tank
- Soft wash systems for low-pressure chemical application on roofs and delicate surfaces
Check the product label for compatible surfaces. Some chemicals are not safe for all materials. Test in an inconspicuous area first.
Applications and Use Cases
- House washing for removing algae, mold, mildew, and oxidation from siding
- Roof cleaning for soft wash treatment of asphalt shingles and tile
- Concrete cleaning for oil stains, rust stains, and organic growth on flatwork
- Fleet washing for road film, diesel soot, and bug removal on trucks and trailers
- Commercial property maintenance for storefronts, dumpster pads, and walkways
Installation and Maintenance Tips
Store chemicals in a cool, shaded area. Heat and direct sunlight break down active ingredients, especially sodium hypochlorite (SH). SH loses strength quickly in hot storage.
Mix chemicals in a well-ventilated area. Wear chemical-resistant gloves, eye protection, and appropriate clothing. Never mix different chemicals together unless the manufacturer says it is safe. Mixing bleach with acids creates toxic chlorine gas.
Pre-wet landscaping, cars, and sensitive surfaces before applying chemicals. Rinse them again after the job. This dilutes any overspray and prevents chemical damage to plants and finishes.
Flush your chemical injection system with clean water after each use. Chemical residue corrodes injectors, fittings, and pump components. A 60-second flush at the end of the day prevents corrosion buildup.
Frequently Asked Questions
What chemicals do I need for house washing?
The standard house wash mix is sodium hypochlorite (SH, pool-grade bleach) with a surfactant to help it cling to the surface. Dilution depends on the surface and staining. For vinyl siding, a mild mix works. For heavy algae and mold, go stronger. Always test a small area first.
How do I apply chemicals with a pressure washer?
The most common method is a downstream injector. It draws chemical into the water stream after the pump, so the chemical never touches your pump internals. An X-Jet nozzle lets you apply chemical at distance, up to 20+ feet high, without a ladder. A 12V pump system applies straight chemical without dilution.
How should I store pressure washing chemicals?
Store in a cool, shaded area in sealed containers. Sodium hypochlorite loses strength fast in heat. Buy only what you will use in 30 to 60 days. Keep chemicals away from children, pets, and food. Follow the SDS (Safety Data Sheet) for specific storage and handling requirements.

Before You Order: What to Check
Getting the right part the first time saves you a return trip and more downtime. Before you add this to your cart, check these things:
- Model number: Find the model and serial number on your equipment data plate. Write it down before you order.
- Port sizes and thread types: Measure your connections. A 3/8 inch fitting will not thread into a 1/4 inch port no matter how hard you try.
- Pressure and flow ratings: Make sure the replacement part is rated for your system's PSI and GPM. Under-rated parts fail fast.
- Old part comparison: If possible, remove the old part and compare it side by side with the product photos and specs listed here.
- Still not sure? Call us before you order. We would rather spend 5 minutes on the phone confirming fitment than process a return because the wrong part showed up.
