Hello Mr.Rucker. Thank you for posting these videos as i am getting started and have so much to learn. Does this sludge sucker works at 8gpm 3500psi? Thank you!
Hey Doug, great video. What is the connection at the wand? Mine came with a 3/8 plug fitting, but I need to convert to a 1/4. What type of fitting is that called?
I HIGHLY recommend skipping the 1.5" non-collapsable hose and just going with a 1.5" blue pool discharge hose. The non-collapsable hose takes up a lot of room and is extremely stiff. It is almost impossible to keep it stretched out and stay where you want it to go with just one person. The pool discharge hose lays flat and will stay wherever you put it and will not move while it is being used. It virtually weighs nothing. I keep my 50ft. of discharge hose in a plastic milk crate with the pump still attached. It has served me WELL for over a year and is a fraction of the cost! I think I got 50ft on Amazon for $20.
Hi Doug, I have a question? I’m trying to buy a sludge sucker what nozzle size do you recommend? I have an 8gpm pressure washer. Thank you 🙏🏼 By the way Great video
Shovels rarely kill people. Usually it's a electrical line or gas line they hit with a shovel that kills them. Plus a shovel is $9 lasts a lifetime and requires practically zero upkeep. A pressure washer and pump like that you're talking a couple hundred bucks plus maintenance. I admit Pressure washing is a great way to dig if you can afford it.
Think this will be able to suck sediment out of a spring holding tank? This tank collects water from artisan well. Took 56 years to fill a 750 gallon tank with tiny sediment. Bigger than sand smaller than gravel or pebbles. Mostly 1/8” size rock crumbs. Went through 1 trash pump already. Looking for a new idea.
@@PressureCleaningSch working like a champ. Go back tomorrow to finish up but this dude is working great. Just gotta watch for the bigger rocks. I got a 30 second video if I knew how to get to ya.
Hey Doug, great video as always! Quick question, what size tip size do you advise for a 5.5 3000? I some how have 2 tips smaller than a "red" tip that comes with the j-rod kit. The ones is 0010 and the other one in the sucker is a tad bit smaller.. I don't have it with me to look at the numbers.. thanks for anytime you could spare and we greatly appreciate it
@@PressureCleaningSch thank you sir!!! One of the best pw stores an I'm sure company around and still get back to people ⭐🙏. I found the other size. Its a 0004 so I'll be ordering a 5 from ya shortly
@@PressureCleaningSch will the 0004 work just as effectively or do is the 0005 tip a must for the 5.5 GPM and again. Thank you very much for your knowledge.
@@PressureCleaningSch How does your sludge sucker compare to my 20gallon 6.5 hp shop vac? We use the shop vac to suck up excess water that has pooled underneath decks recently pressure washed-
Doug“E” fresh!🤙🏻💯
thanks for the Quality Video Doug!!!
Thanks Ca, hope your doing well
I like saying sludge sucker! lol Subbed!
It fits. Lol. Thanks
Can this work on a 2.3 GPM 2300 PSI greenworks electric?
It will not. They are only for 4GPM and above.

Sure does. Exactly what I use mine with.

I'd like to know the answer to that as well
On our site is a conversion kit. Basically a 3/8x1/4 reducing bushing then a 1/4 MPT plug
Looking to buy this for a 4400 psi 4.2 gpm machine. Which do I buy?
The 4.0 option

Great points. On our 8GPM that pool discharge hose flips around but on our 4or5 gpm it doesn’t. We do use on the 8 to when we need to extend it
How would the sludge sucker compare to using a 12v automatic bilge pump and a small battery connected?
Sludge sucker would be much faster
Can we extend the hose if we need to deposit the water further from the problem spot?
Yes. I’ve used pool discharge hose before. Just have to secure it so it doesn’t flop around like a whirly bird
Hi Doug, I have a question?
I’m trying to buy a sludge sucker what nozzle size do you recommend?
I have an 8gpm pressure washer.
Thank you 🙏🏼
By the way Great video
You’ll want the 6.0

Lots of options out there for sure
Can I use it to get much out of a pond ? About 1/2 acher
Should work fine as long as no big rocks or sticks
@@PressureCleaningSch cool thank you

@@DayStarQuality this will remove at the rate the GPM of your pressure washer
Can anyone give me a tip or chemical to wash an aluminum or tin siding house thanks
If it's a colorsteel tin. SH Buddy just weak maybe. I'm in NZ we have a different style of homes. And cladding
All depends on the stains you are cleaning. if organic then a light bleach mix. Be careful if oxidized
Wow first comment and view 👍🏽
Thank you for watching
