Complete Wall Mounted Pressure Washer Install (Custom Setup)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 июл 2024
- Next up on the garage renovation list is a wall mounted pressure washer setup for my Active 2.3 pressure washer. This is my attempt at a complete, end to end walk through on everything I did from the pex plumbing to installing the Mosmatic wand holder.
This installation also features the RapidAir FastPipe kit for the CR Spotless tanks, which I think is a worthy consideration as far as wall mounted setups go.
Necessary disclaimers:
- I make no claims that any methodology demonstrated here is the right way to do it. This is not a DIY, but rather a ride along to show you what I did and to point out things I think are worth noting.
- despite lots of research, there was much trial and error
- the parts listed are what i used; there may be (and likely are) better parts available
- attempt at your own risk; most will suggest hiring a qualified plumber (which I am not)
Ok, that said, here is a Google doc sheet listing every single item I used for this setup: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
I'd love to hear your feedback and if you have any questions, feel free to ask but know that I am by no means an expert on anything involved.
Corrections/Additions/Updates (probably on ongoing list):
- the Prevost fittings are aluminum, not plastic
Thanks for watching!

Nice job, what was your tds reading in ppm before the installation of the CR spotless filtration system and could you share the paint color and brand that you used to coat the garage walls?
Great video - one thing to mention and clarify however is that the Prevost fittings are anodized aluminum, not plastic. Nice work!
Thanks! Really appreciate you guys checking it out. And yeah, I saw that about the Prevost fittings after the fact.. my bad. Correction added to description.
Phenomenal video!!! Thank you for such detailed explanation of every step. Great step up. I will definitely be looking into rapid air set up. Thanks again for such a great tutorial
Much appreciated brother! Hope it helps for your setup 🍻 it's definitely a project but insanely transforms the wash process experience.
@@jgo.m3tip. We used a hair dryer to heat up the yellow stickers and as you heat it grab a corner and slowly peal as your moving the hair dryer across the sticker. Comes off perfectly. Then use some Goof Off the wipe any sticky residue. Spray it onto a peeper towel and wipe the residue off and your done.
@@26-CJ awesome tip brother, thank you! 🍻
@@jgo.m3 our pleasure. We just finished installing our own setup. We used all the prevost pipes and fittings but this is cool as well. Didn’t know they made other fittings that worked with the prevost pipe. Are those blue fittings also prevost fittings. Sorry if you said and didn’t catch it.
@@26-CJ all good, actually the pipe and fittings are from a company called RapidAir; it's their FastPipe kit. Same kind of aluminum pipe, but these are plastic fittings as opposed to the aluminum fittings Prevost uses.
Great job, that looks so cool.
Thanks brother 🍻
Awesome wall setup!!!
Thanks man, appreciate you checking it out 👍
I’m glad you clocked the shutoff valves like you did. I was yelling at the screen at 21:20. 🤣 glad you finally saw it.
Haha! I almost cut that part out but I wanted to show the error of my ways 🤣
@@jgo.m3 haha! Glad it worked out. Maybe, if you didn’t see it, right away, you’d figure it, eventually. 🤣
Looks pretty sick, man. I’m not 100% confident in the plastic fittings, but then I’m no plumber either. I’m sure you’ll get many years out of the setup. The Kranzle would have looked better imo but the 2.3 is a champ up there.
😊😊😊
Thank you brother. You guys will certainly be the first to know if the plastic gives way but the internals look pretty solid and, after the first wash at least, everything seems to be holding up. And yeah man I definitely would have loved to have pulled the trigger on a Kranzle, but I'm beyond happy with the 2.3 👍
Thank you!
Anytime bro 🍻
How is the vibration on pressure washer on shelf , will not move out of shelf. Will not move ?
Looks great Thank you for the video
Thanks! It's not bad actually and it definitely doesn't move. I wouldn't put the pressure washer on the front edge by any means but at 29lbs for the standalone unit, it's not going anywhere.
@jgo.m3 nice job. Do you mind sharing what color and brand of paint you used on your garage walls? Thanks
Thanks man. The wall paint is Sherwin-Williams Fortitude (SW 9562).
I had bad luck with coxreels with powder coat in the threads and just shotty QC..if bought from OG they are made sure they come perfect tho..still doesnt touch reelcraft, hannay, titan, etc..
That sucks.. fortunately I haven't had any issues so far but good to know some other brands just in case.
So I have a 30x30 piece of 1/2 plywood I mounted using 4 hefty 7/16 x 2" long lag screws. Will it be enough to support the shelf w/ pressure washer along with the 100ft hose reel? Im obviously only going to be screwing into the plywood.
Sorry bro, I wouldn't be the one to tell you if that will work. I don't know what shelf you have but if it's the 18 or 20" size, that should be able to go into the studs. For the hose reel, you should consider the backing plate since there will be added tension pulling on the hose as it comes off the reel.
Great video brother. I got a tip for u on the water valve you can remove the screw on top of the handle and move it to your like position and screw it back on.
Maaaaan.. wish I'd known that earlier lol. Fantastic tip bro, thank you!
What was you tds reading for ppm before adding in the CR spotless filtration system?
I didn't check, but the TDS rating in my area is about 215 and spots were very noticeable. I've done one wash with the CR tanks now and it's insane how well they work.
Just watched this video and you did a great job. I just completed this setup without the water filtration. Got my parts from various sellers. Obsessed Garage is too expensive for me.
Thanks brother, I appreciate that. How are you liking your setup?
And yeah OG def procures some crazy top shelf stuff. Sometimes I'll splurge if I think the experience will be worth it or if it's something I learned about from their videos and other times I'll get something cheaper elsewhere.
@@jgo.m3 My system makes washing my cars easier. I have the first generation Active VE52 and figuring out nozzle size to use. Based on the calculator on MTM Hydro I should use a 2.68 orifice, not available, so I got 3.0 to start with. We'll see.
Sent you an email, wondering if you got it.
@@trconway yep, got it and replied last week. Did it end up in spam or something?
@@jgo.m3 Unable to find your email. Please resend.
Curious why the Aluminum vs Copper? Aesthetics?
Also curious how DI water will affect the aluminum over time.
Yeah probably and also I'd guess because aluminum is lighter and cheaper than copper. These systems were designed for compressed air, but they say it can be used with (non-potable) water.
I have a question, I have an active 2.3 and I want to do a DI water setup.. can the CR spotless keep up with the demands of the washer? The manual says it needs an input of 4.8 gpm and CR spotless says they want the output at around 2.5 gpm to maintain 0 ppm
From what I read in the manual, you just need to keep the GPM under 4 if using the DIW/C-20 and it doesn't matter what your PSI is. So far, it seems to work great with the 2.3.
If you wanted is there any reason why the pipe couldn't be used to hook to power washer? Nice video
Thank you brother 🍻 I don't see any reason why you couldn't as long as your temps and PSI are within range. For temps, FastPipe can handle up to 140ºF which is about what residential tap tops out at so you should be good there.
Best to keep the flexible/rubber to isolate the vibrations from the rigid pipe.
Pretty cool set-up! How are you liking it so far?
Thanks! It's ridiculously great. The time saved on set up and tear down alone is insane but add to that the upgraded performance coming from my K1700 and not racing to avoid water spots and it wildly improves the experience.
I made a separate video on the Active 2.3 but, in short, it's a fantastic machine. Thanks for making it 🍻
Could you please explain why these set-ups have a gate valve immediately before and after the DI filter? I understand having one entering the filter because you'd have it shut if you just wanted to use tap water, but I don't understand having one immediately after the DI filter.
I think it's because it prevents the back flow of water into the tanks. If you didn't have the valve after the tanks and bypassed to the unfiltered water, it would still flow around the loop and fill up the tanks.
@@jgo.m3 Oh yeah, good point. I didn't consider that. Thank you!
