Dude this is the video I’ve been waiting for, I asked a weird question before cause I was in town on a job. I know it’s weird but I don’t really care, just trying to get this business up and going asap 😂😂 forgive me! 😮💨 Always great content man
For rinsing after a house wash: Do you have a totally separate hose reel that you unreel and carry with you and your soft wash hose? Right now I have my source water hose reel going to my tank, then water is fed to my proportioner and to my reel, then i turn bleach off and rinse with the same soft wash hose. Ideally I would like to carry a separate rinse hose with me like you do, but i cant for the life of my figure out how. Currently have 200 feet of feed hose to the customers water, and 200 feet soft wash hose. Any help is greatly appreciated and im gonna venmo you to buy you lunch for all this help 👍
Couple options I used to do. 1) just hook a hose to the customers water for rinse. 2) Set up a separate reel, hose, and 12v pump just to pull water from your buffer tank for rinsing. Both require 2 hoses being pulled around. I now just downstream using a pressure washer and a remote ball valve. One hose for chem and rinse. Much easier and quicker. Check my newer vids
Great video as usual, and in my humble opinion - completely accurate. I would only add that for guys who need to save money, it's really not necessary to have an expensive metering valve for your water. It's full open/on 99.99% of the time anyway. Also, a $40 Pentaire valve will also suffice for soap. The only important flow control needs to be on SH. By the way... the download docs are great and worth the few $$. I have them all so I know.
Man perfect timing!!! Two of my 3/4 metering valves got destroyed earlier this week when my ladder came off the rack and slammed it. I was wondering if my old 1/2” proportioner would work well with the 3/4 lines. Finding 3/4 is like winning the lotto! Thanks
I appreciate the video bro! I’ve been sitting on building my system out of just not being completely sure of which way to go. I have a Remco, and I’m going to try what you said may work-running 3/4 in, then 1/2 out! I’ll let you know how it goes! Keep up the good work, and thanks for the info👊🏽😎
How is the powder coated titan hose reel holding up for your softwash line? I currently have gp hose reel and it is corroding like crazy and I was starting to shop around for a replacement.
Hey bro! Nice content, been following for a while. I like to know more about the truck. Why ford? Gas or diesel, new or used? 250, 350, 450 or 550? Reasoning behind getting that particular set up vice having a back up truck? Thanks man. I’ve been looking at the f550 cab chassis and just wanted to know another like minded persons thoughts behind decision making.
I will address all this in a video shortly. But in short, it's a 2020 f350 6.7l with 45k miles. Wanted a 2nd vehicle for the business and my growing family. Also have a 250 extended cab, but 2 growing dogs and a baby on the way. F250 couldn't handle the weight of my wash setup as easy as the 350 chasis. Aldo got tired of reaching over the bed walls of the 250. Wanted a flat bed from day one.
@@YoungAmbitionYA bro! same thing here, I drive a tundra and I squat like 4-5" below factory. Thats with maybe 20 gallons of water and 80 gallons bleach. I got the Alumimax Pro as well and ordered Alcan springs set for 2700lbs above factory payload. Those should be in sometime before or right at September. For future, I was thinking F550 because.... why not? It would and should handle anything I throw at it.
550 will absolutely handle. A 350 or 450 will actually haul more though. 550s are pulling and towing beasts, but the heavier chassis actually reduces payload. F350 can tow less but haul more. That's why I got the 350. I don't tow much but I want to put as much weight on the bed as possible. 2020 f350 payload is about 7000k. An f450 is 6200 for example
Thanks for this. I'm trying to figure what route I'm going take for my first setup. 2 questions.. what is the large green hose? Did you build your manifold from scratch, and if so about what does that cost to put together? Thanks again, your stuff is very helpful!
Bro, love your video. Young with great advice.
If anyone needs 3/4 valve call Absolute Chemical in Nashville Tennessee. Depending where you live you may get it the next day

You're correct! Thanks!
you get way better flow with a normal valve than with the GF valve anyways
@@petermajka7474 normal valves don't meter like GF meter valves though
what stores carry the clear hose for plumbing everything?
most hardware stores
Would 1 inch house going into a 7gpm (everflow) with 1/2 inch out work properly?
It should feed well
If I have to much feed hose from water tank to 5.3 remco will it affect my pump from water reaching it?
It should prime just fine

Yikes! Yeah half doesn't seem to be a big issue

Flowjet R8600134 is your model right? I think Amazon has a typo on the model number.
Not sure. Just make sure it's 5.5/6GPM
@@YoungAmbitionYA alrighty thanks again 👍
@@MannyAguilarJr I checked the link. It's the right pump

Seems fine so far!

The large green hose is a 1.5" supply to my 8gpm pressure washer. A manifold is typically about $500-600
