TL;DR
An X-jet nozzle is a pressure washer attachment that draws cleaning chemicals from a bucket through its own siphon hose and injects them at the nozzle, downstream of the pump, so strong house-wash mixes never pass through and corrode the pump, hoses, or unloader. Interchangeable proportioner tips meter the draw ratio, letting an operator shift between rich mix for heavy algae and lean mix for rinsing without remixing the bucket.
What it means
An X-jet nozzle is a pressure washer attachment that draws cleaning chemicals from a bucket through its own siphon hose and injects them at the nozzle, downstream of the pump, so strong house-wash mixes never pass through and corrode the pump, hoses, or unloader. Interchangeable proportioner tips meter the draw ratio, letting an operator shift between rich mix for heavy algae and lean mix for rinsing without remixing the bucket. Its other advantage is reach, throwing chemical to second-story gables from the ground, though dedicated soft-wash systems have displaced it in high-volume residential washing.
