Let it run for about 30 minutes with Oxyclean and hot water. The stream washes a hole in the crud where it hits, but does not seem to clean the rest of the bottle. Maybe these bottles were used to store concrete??

Using Oxy. The volume of liquid seems sufficient but the force just isn't there. Works ok on bottles with moist sediment (but so does just a quick rinse from the faucet). Doesn't do much on several day old non rinsed bottles.

More flow than spray. I did pinch the ends of the tubing to get more of a spray, and it did improve the cleaning action and did seem to improve coverage inside the bottles. By pinching, I was able to get the stream to about 8 to 10 inches high.

I followed the OP's instructions when I built mine and generally had the same low flow results. I changed the hose between the pump and the rack to a 1" id and had considerably more flow from the nozzles. I think friction is the problem.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I am retired and don't have an office.

Not much has been said about what constitutes an "unsecured" area. I live in a suburb of Salt Lake City, a typical "middle middle" class neighborhood built in the mid 90's. All front porches are pretty much exposed to the street. In 2011 I was just getting into homebrewing with Coopers extracts...
