@@pressurewashingguides3178 I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing... right now i power wash oilfield trucks in my area. Now i wanna expand into a different area. So I really do appreciate the time u did take for this video
#softwashing I’m 17 years old and I’m trying to start my own business. This video was just what I needed to get my soft washing system set up. Thanks so much!! You explained everything perfectly!
Thank you!! Yes I use 1/4 for soap line and set proportioner to 1-2 on the dial depending on surface. For concrete cleaning I might do .5 if any just to help mask the smell a little
I’m sorry I thought I made one for it. If you google how to make home made proportioner for pressure washing there is a couple good ones I used when I first started.
The bleed valve ideally would be shorter hose but it’s still better to bleed in a 5ft line instead of it having to bleed the air through 200ft of hose. I put the valve before it goes through my reel right after output of pump. Hope that helps
Tha KS for the video. Very well explained. I like the 3way valve for the SH and the hose from the tank. That looks handy, especially washing Chem off of your skin.
Hi great video you hit it on the head as to how to install a soft wash system one of my questions is how you market your business; I am new to the pressure washing business and just setting up my rig
Soo I personally joined a Bni group which is networking group u pay like 1k a year to be in with tons other professionals, Angileads if ur good at phone sales, doing free jobs to get your first 10 google reviews then google ads. Between those 4 things is how I got started.
#softwash This is, IMO, the best explained video on how to set up a soft wash system. I’m just trying to figure out how to build something decent so I can get out there with confidence. I’m planning on building a starter trailer with plenty of room to grow as I gain experience. Thanks for this! 🙏🏽 God bless.
i found that I went too overkill one my trailer build with my machine. The soft wash is where the money is at and you can build a nice set up for like $600 total including everything
I liked your info. But regarding the metering valve info. You might do an experiment with having a plain ball valve on the water line as you suggested, compared to having matching metering gf valves on the SH and H2o. The valve openings even open 100% are different so the metering would not be equal giving you 6%. The plain ball valve would allow more water to flow more than the GF SH meter would giving you a not a 50/50 mixture.
Great Job! Love your setup and knowledge. I really like the water tote with the blue paint. Where did you get that from? How much did it cost? That’s exactly what I’m looking for.
You can find them on facebook marketplace people selling them just large water tote I bought for like $50. be careful as some as used to store dangerous chemicals before so you want to find out what they had it for in the first place.
Thanks man I tried to share everything I learned so far. As far as marketing I try to do many different things and never rely on just one thing. Some of the many things I do, hand out business cards / flyers to HOA and anyone I meet. Huge banner on my trailer. Google keyword ads, Angi Leads, Organic website traffic using basic SEO tricks, BNI, facebook buy sell group ad once per week and emailing other business professionals to create a partnership. So many different things to get the best results I work by myself and have full time job. Typically I average about 10-15 jobs completed each week and spend around $300-$500 month on paid advertising.
Great video. Really love the setup... But as a numbers nerd, I realize that you have a very rare 13% SH on hand? Or... Did you mean 50/50 is 6.25% and 75/25 is 3.125%? Sorry. Can't help myself. lol
the sh i was buying was 12.5% i believe which is pure SH. If you buy like small jugs from like walmart it is like 10% strength I believe. So depending on how you change the dial is what percent mix you get. I always left water valve at 100% open so if I did half way on the Sh valve would be like 6.25% which is usually stronger than you need for any roof. Always start with a little weaker mix and turn dial up if you don't see the results you want after about 10 minutes of waiting.
Very informative thanks so much you got a new subscriber. I'm trying to start a new business up in NC and this was very helpful again thanks for taking the time to post this I will be sure to give you a shout out when I start posting videos.
really should use all the same valves, even on your water so you get consistent flow rates. Instead of teflon tape, use RECTORSEAL TRU-BLU sealant, it's vibration resistant unlike teflon or other sealants, just flush the system after assembly to remove any loose sealant.
#softwash. Have you ever considered a system that runs on garden hose pressure from the house, w/o a tank? I'm wondering if with just the bleach and soap and a proportioner this would work. lmk, and thanks for the great video.
There are a ton of different brands I’ve been trying different ones to see which brand is the best. Currently using Suttner st-500. 8gpm If you type in google soft wash wand there are few companies that sell them. Anytime I buy surfactant I just buy extra wash gun as they run $20-30. But only seem to last about 3 months. Ball valve style will last much longer and cheaper but I just love only needing 1 hand to do the job so I don’t mind paying a little extra throughout the year
@@pressurewashingguides3178 thank you 🙏🏽 for the reply sir. Been doing a week of research on RUclips looking at getting into the business. Love seeing everyone’s build outs and picking and choosing what I like to build what I think is the ultimate build in my eyes. Know after a few months though I’ll find ways to improve and customize even more. Stay safe out there brother!
I’m the proportioned valve it will pull the soap directly into the line and mix it. I use very little soap though in general unless I’m doing like a metal roof.
#softwash. All ai need is a 12volt marine battery to run my 12 volt pump? My setup came with a generator just for that little Pump. I think that’s way overkill and adds lots of weight to My trailer and takes up Tons of Room. Don’t want To remove The generator until I know For Sure That a battery is just fine? Obviously I’m just Starting Out How long does the battery last? Do you put It on a trickle charger at night?
No I personally don’t. Realistically I get like 6-8months out of them and they die. I always buy northern tool year warranty so I replace them for the $15 warranty
Fantastic video, mate. Thank you very much. What % mix do you use for a house wash? And at what positions would you have your SH ball valve in for different applications. Cheers man.
I always start weak on house wash like 1-2%. U can always increase from there. Every quarter turn on valve increases potency about 2.7% but always start weak and let it sit for 5 min rinse then evaluate from there
#softwash Excellent video, I just 2 questions, how are you incorporating/connecting that to your pressure washer engine/pump or is it running independent? What kind of range (max feet/distance) you getting from that 12v after running through 200ft of line.
I do not connect to pressure washer I run it as a separate system. With the 12v I get about 40ft of distance max if you have a fine spray with a wider spray maybe only 20-30ft
So I used to use battery charger like once a week to charge it back up. Then u can run a line to your main battery so it charges while going down the road. Only issue is when u take the trailer off u need a plug to separate the wire to the car battery. Bit of work for set up then it’s good to go
manually charge it every other day but then I ran wire from batteries to car battery so it would charge while driving down the road. I added a detached method at trailer hitch so I could remove wire when taking it off my trailer.
I have 2 hoses. One is 1/2 that runs to pure softwash system. The red runs pressure washer to downstream I believe it’s 3/8 hose Smaller so it’s easier for pressure washer to pull the Chem that far
@Pressure Washing Guides where in Florida you are located.. I am in spring hill fl starting my pressure washing soon.. my company name will be HIGHPOINT SOFTWASH...
I should have a video on my channel talking about how to build proportioner. The key whatever you do is buy the better metering valves as the cheap ones break often but it’s super simple to build yourself you can buy all parts off Amazon. Cheap way is like $120 to build the better valves ends up being like $400 to build
Does the leak detection give you problems? See the reviews for that pump are either great or they speak of having to swap the heads a lot bc they detect “leaks” and stop working
they all offer some bs, and in realty I find the north star gets me like 3-6months of use and with the 20-40 warranty I just replace it when it goes bad.
Most jobs I drive to are like 15 min apart but I never drive full of water it’s too much weight. I usually have like 1/4 in there and only fill if I’m doing a bigger job when I get there
Just curious.. why do you even need a valve on the water.. since it is always 100% on.. and there is no reason to ever use just the SH or soap valves without water.. why not just have the water without any valve and when you flip the pump on it pulls water as it does with the valve?
Good question. So from my research and talking with others even a straight pipe instead of valve will actually give you more than water as the valve slightly restricts it I tried testing it and can work just need to play with the adjustments. There is times I have had to run with the water valve cut back a little which brought the strength of mix over the 6% mark mainly on a really really bad tile roof. I applied several coats at 3-6% but wasn’t normal tile even with soap to maximize the cling time wouldn’t make it clean so I cut back the water to make the mix hotter
@@pressurewashingguides3178 Interesting. So mostly to give more SH percentage if needed. Makes sense. I asked mostly cause most videos seem to indicate that the water side is full blast all the time.
So the right answer is yes you should clean it at the end of each workday for sure. This will help prolong how long your fittings and pump last. I am guilty of forgetting which is why I only get 3-6months out of my pumps. Granted I use North Star pumps with $20 warranty they get replaced so it’s cheap fix for being lazy. But yes you should always clean them out
www.amazon.com/X-Jet-SOAPER-Nozzle-Downstream-INJECTORS/dp/B08FRNHSSN/ref=sr_1_4?crid=38Z2K9MF7VL6O&keywords=m5+twist+nozzle&qid=1679264418&sprefix=m5+twist+nozzle%2Caps%2C100&sr=8-4 type in m5 twist nozzle theres a bunch and you get the one to fit your gpm machine
5.5pm pump I wouldn’t go less and anymore is overkill in my opinion. They run like $180 from northern tool and get the $15 warranty they replace them within the year
At first I was just charging the battery like every other day with a car charger but eventually I ran a line to my car battery that would charge it when I drove down the road.
So safer method is from the ladder if u got good enough equipment to reach everywhere. I personally would walk 1 story homes just have to be careful and. 99% of insurance companies don’t allow you to walk on roof so don’t fall off

Tnx man
no problem hope it helped
Thanks for the video , just wondering how do you charge your softwash battery
So I used to use battery charger like once a week to charge it back up. Then u can run a line to your main battery so it charges while going down the road.
Only issue is when u take the trailer off u need a plug to separate the wire to the car battery. Bit of work for set up then it’s good to go
#softwash !! great video, one question, what do you use the charge the batteries for the pump
manually charge it every other day but then I ran wire from batteries to car battery so it would charge while driving down the road. I added a detached method at trailer hitch so I could remove wire when taking it off my trailer.
What is the other red hose on the sh tank?
I have 2 hoses. One is 1/2 that runs to pure softwash system. The red runs pressure washer to downstream I believe it’s 3/8 hose Smaller so it’s easier for pressure washer to pull the Chem that far
In your bleach tank is it straight bleach or do you add water even though you have a proportioner thanks
How do you fill those tanks, holding that much bleach? Without wearing it all....
With that nozzle, can you go from chemical to rinsing?
The nozzle only allows u to do chemical if in chemical tank hose wise.
You can add a remote shut off to switch between Chem and not
You have to have the same valve because your mix it not going to the same it you use a different ball valve on the water
Good to know. I figure 100% open is the same no matter the value but interesting to know
@@pressurewashingguides3178 that was a guy. That ran a test of each valve, both of them running wide-open, and he got mor water with the pvc valve

Sorry for delay. Feel free to ask questions. Most of my videos should be able to guide u through most of the set up
do you use a 1/2 outlet or 3/4 outlet for proportioner?
I use 1/2 to keep pressure up. If u go 3/4 it’s typically on 8gpm pumps
DO you pre mix your soap or just use out of the jug
The soap gets mixed through the proportioned straight out of the jug it comes in.
what size hose do you use coming and going to the Proportioner from your buffer tank
2inch coming out of buffer tank and then I reduce it down to 3/4
What barbs did you use in the inlet & out let? Mine has a 90 degree instead of a straight one.
I always try to use straight ones myself but either way you want to use stainless steel ones and even then they go bad after like 6months i found.
Do you clean the proportioner after use?
So the right answer is yes you should clean it at the end of each workday for sure. This will help prolong how long your fittings and pump last.

No you can not use a plan shut off valve. Regular shut off valve runs faster than metering valve… so proportioner would be useless
I did not realize this great feedback
How do you keep your battery charged?
At first I was just charging the battery like every other day with a car charger but eventually I ran a line to my car battery that would charge it when I drove down the road.

Do you get on the roof to clean it or shoot from a ladder?
So safer method is from the ladder if u got good enough equipment to reach everywhere. I personally would walk 1 story homes just have to be careful and. 99% of insurance companies don’t allow you to walk on roof so don’t fall off

Glad it was able to help
