Goo stuff. I like seeing the older videos. I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again. You’re a smart guy. I’m a hands on guy so I can appreciate the thought process and the effort that goes into this stuff
Amazing where you are today in 2022, awesome!!!!
Dang you have come so far. This made me smile. Hard work pays off. Congrats brother.
Just goes to show that hard work pays off 🚀
Watching older videos during my drives between jobs ,God Bless You And Your Family
It's amazing how far you have advanced in a couple years. Although this simple rig is still a money maker.
Amazing setup man, I will get there one day, for now, it's me, the 12v pump, two 15 gallon tank, and the pressure washer.
Admire the contents bro
What a difference 2 yrs makes with hard work... Good job.. You've came so far... Hopefully everything keeps growing for you.. Love your videos and very informative.. Thanks for everything you do.. Hopefully someday I'm able to be in the same position
This must be when the light came on and it all came together 💪
Checking in from 2022... Man y'all have came a long way!🤣
Wow, this is awesome to see how far you have come in 3 years with the business!
Oh my god you’ve come so far!
Need to hook batteries up to the truck alternator. Also if you run the wiring through a relay it may take more load therefore not burning up the switches.
I was going to say the same thing hook up to the car battery then they will be charged all the time. Could also up grade the alternator to take a continuous load better.
Thank you, good info as I build a set up this spring, here in northern WI~ take care!
Always great to see how far dedication and honest work has grown! Brother Coty again I say, may God bless you and your business in Jesus Christ name! I thank God for you!
Thanks bro!
Wow, as others have said. You've come so far in a short time!
Nice looking setup
Great video! Im looking to get into a softwash/Pressure washing little side gig. And see where it takes me Thanks for the motivation! WASH ON
You have a good setup but put the batteries together and it will save you time and make everything simple. Positive to positive negative to negative. Put one of the charger ends on one battery and the other one to the other battery. Also get a rv isolator and run a positive battery cable from the truck battery to the isolator then to the positive side of your battery pack and a ground cable to the frame of the truck. It charges without draining your truck battery and you can charge your equipment battery pack easier.
Nice simple set-up!!! Nice job on the video too...
Lots of help thanks bro . Wash on....
Tim J line my man a liner. Also I’d go spend the money on a comet pump. But looks nice
Nice setup, very efficient and practical.
Thanks. For your help 👍
When u pray to God and keep working hard, good things happened 🙂
This is awesome! I'm working on a similar set up with my truck!
Great set up. I currently work out of the back of my truck now also but use an x jet for my house washes. I'm working on a 16 ft trailer now with three 5.5 gpm 4000 psi pumps so thet if I want to run them in series for 11 gpm or 16.5 gpm I can. Works great for my 49 inch surface washer and fast parking lot rinses. LykeNew Power Wash is located in Salina Kansas. Just curious what you pay for your SH per gallon? I'm having a heck of a time getting a good bulk price for some 12.5%
John D 2.20 per gal delivered here in Arkansas
Need video of the setup and it working. That sounds really interesting.
This is Amazing
Thanks for breaking this down!
Dang, come a long way!
We use the 7gpm with no problems what so ever.
Insidetech101 if you set them up right they will work fine.
With that pump set up, when you let off the trigger, does the pump shut off, or go into a bypass mode or something like a pressure washer? I really like your setup and think I'm gonna do a small trailer. But im a novice at setting it all up right and efficient. Thanks for the video, it really helped me a lot with how it works and not to sound arrogant, but how basic the softwash set up is. I plan on running just one pump at first, just a minimal basic setup to test the waters here and see how well it does in this area. Any money saving ideas would be greatly appreciated
So what are you using as a surfactant? Just thinking cool setup yet why not use top of the line industry professional fittings and valves with something like a swagelock stainless valve that could last 10 to 20 years and made in OHIO. Everything from china seems to be junk. Maybe add high quality stainless quick connects for your back up pump and also pre-wire a quick connect electrical connection for the back up pump? Possible less downtime until you get home to swap things out.
What size lines you recommend on running from the 5gpm pump. Running 1/2” and ain’t quite got the distance I’m liking
What's the purpose of the water tank if you're connected to the customers water?
At least it’s not rocket surgery
Have you thought about running a connection from under the hood and a kill switch for the connections to the pump? Instead of having all those other cables and having to recharge? I’ve seen many soft wash setup videos and never have seen anyone actually run some cables from the front battery to the back of the truck and connect that way instead of having to haul extra batteries.. just a question/suggestion. 🤔
The best way to do it is a stealth charger that’s wired to the truck to power your charger while the truck is running.
It isolates the system so you don’t get back flow voltage to the alternator when it’s not needed, but they are just a little aggravating to set up. It’s really not much of an issue to plug up an extension cord at the end of the day. Check out some of our skids that we build currently.
@@southeastsoftwash4020 ohh okay. Thanks for the input
Do you have to cover the pumps if it rains?
I have well water … would it be alright to use my water for washing service …. And how long/how many houses does the 55gal tank last roughly
Awesome! I’ve been wanting to put together my own setup like this. Instead of the batteries could you use a small tailgating gas generator for the pumps?
Yes you can. I did it with a 12v flojet pump. I bought a Lenovo laptop charger to do it. You need it in order to convert ac to dc. You tape them up and u just turn on the generator and off you go.
on the truck setup in this video what type pressure washer are you using /PSI/GPM? Do you have it going to your buffer tank also or do you run separate water source?
hi, how many hours can you run that pump off those 2 batteries? thanks
A question I’m confused about is buffer tanks. Does a 7 gpm soft wash pump actually require a buffer tank like some guys say? It seems like 7gpm pump with 200’ 5/8 line would run fine on about any house without a buffer
Just spit balling here, but is it possible to soft wash with a 7 gpm /1 hp pump [plugged into a newly installed outlet in the truck bed]? Those pumps are half the price of a 12v Everflo.
I know it all depends but on average how long does 100 gal SH tank last you and how long does the 110 gal water last you. also how long does the soap last? haha
Need a little help please. I have a Northstar 12 volt 5.5 gpm pump. It's fed with 3/4" tube on inlet and I have about 150' of 1/2" tube on outlet. I made the pvc wand with ball valve and blue adjustable fan spray soap tip. I sprayed first vinyl fence today and was pulling from 5 gallon to the bucket of mix. I was out of mix after 5 or 6 panels of fence (just one side of it) No mateet how much I adjusted tip it would chug the solution. What am I doing wrong? Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!
Great set up 👍.on your average day how much sh do you go through. Trying to decide on 35 gallon tank or 65 gallon tank. Thanks
Brad Loughlin Hard to say, if you are doing House Washes it won’t be very much. Roof cleaning takes a good bit more bleach. I would go with the 65 if I were you
I’m trying to understand the concept of soft wash vs pressure washing.. does this way use chemicals to clean instead of high pressure?
Taylor Albaugh correct
Southeast Softwash interesting. I did a pressure wash for a 1400sqft house today and it sucked. I bet this way would make way more sense and a lot easier on your body.
You think a 2015 Mercedes sprinter could carry a rig setup like this?
Taylor Albaugh yep. I know for a fact it can
My how things have grown
Made a few improvements lol
Southeast Softwash id say. Been following for about a year. Keep hitting home runs
I’m in the process of building a soft wash system. Would it be cool to PM you and ask a few questions?
Hi, what kind of surfactant/soap do you use? Also do you use 10.5% SH or the 12.5%?
This may be a very stupid question but....why do you need the electric pumps? Can't you just downstream the mixture and use the pressure washer to spray the mixture? Or is the pressure washer just additional equipment you have on the truck and the electric pumps spray the house?
rreman81 so the 12v system is for housewashing and roof cleaning. The pressure washer is strictly for concrete cleaning
@@southeastsoftwash4020 Ok awesome! Thanks a lot my man! Keep up the good work and thanks for the inspiration. Quick idea for a new video: what to expect when starting out. Pitfalls, potential earnings etc. A lot of people title their videos "How much you can make" and then babble on about their equipment without any hard figures and drop their phone number into the comment instead of the price.
how much do you think the whole build weighs?
I can find that metering system online other than a thread talking about it. So can you just do away with the metering on this unit and use a down strean injector?
Meadows John no. The word downstream doesn’t exist in Softwash universe.
I PMed you several weeks ago with questions. I’m assuming you stopped reading Facebook messenger questions.
How long would one 50 gallon tank last you if you didn’t have a water source throughout the day?
Taylor Albaugh for blending, a couple house wash jobs. Rinsing our of them runs through water quickly
How did the 5.5 gpm pump worked out?
hello. how long can you keep your mixed batch of sh surfactant water in a 55gal. drum with out being used? New to the business, learning as I go.
Adrian Lopez hard to say a definite time frame.
Sunlight degrades SH
Some surfactants are not bleach stable so that can affect it also.
Did you post a video or can you tell me how the performance is on the 5.5gpm vs the 7gpm everflo pump?
I prefer the 5.5. Less electrical gremlins
Do you have a video of the new setup that is welded
New Look Tailgating yeah. Probably 12 or so.
Click through the channel
how many houses you do a day? I have had people say their batteries last them a week?!
Washed Up Power Washing no way we’d get a week out of them. 2 to 3 jobs a day, charge every night
Where do I get those v2s for batch mixing. Thx for video
Window Masters do a Facebook search for pro-mix-a lot
Can you pass on the type of "Proportioner" valves you use?
