Exactly the setup I'm thinking about to start up. The best pump would be nice to have, but so would 2500 bucks. I think this is the way to go until you're established.
I started my set up similar to this with 2inch renegade, little pressure, tweaking for pressure, looks like these transfer pump has the flow, just need the pressure to be p40 130psi and ar45 290psi, if we can increase this, then these transfer pump maybe competitive haha, looking around I think we can achieve in between those two I love these type of project trial and error, thank you for sharing, hopefully I can get some good result as well
Thanks for the update! I’m Mervin with The Brand Power Washing & Parking Lot Striping. You motivate me go to Harbor Freight and buy one & mine is working great as well!
Thank you for the update. How long of a hose is on the reel during this test? What is the length of hose that you add to it and how diminished is the flow and distance with the additional hose length?
The setup is great when I place the intake hose directly in my tank, but the flow is horrible when I run it through my portioner, what am I doing wrong? Please advise.
@AdvancedSoftwashLLC you say it's not better than an AR45 or comet p40 but it's flowing good plus those are $1500 or better i know i have one i would definitely try this over that price wise
Being part time and mainly down streaming I’ve done 9 roof washes, 13 house washes, and I’ve used it for 6 extremely dirty driveways so far with no issues except having to drill my carb jet some thousandths bigger to run right.
Mine has no problem getting water as it comes out the bottom of the tank but doesn’t seem to consistently pull chems or soap as those pull from the top of the tank
@@stormcoroofingandrestorati3874 that’s an interesting thing to consider. I’m pulling from the top of all my tanks which seems to have a slight issue at first but as soon as the lines fill back up they work

Alright... Thanks for the update on the pump... Good to know that, it is still holding up...

Glad to hear!
Mine is running great for what it is , ive got a moss removal scheduled tomorrow.
I'm going to try the 2" with 1" proportioner and stuff down to 5/8 or 3/4 hose. I've actually got a 1" hose reel with 1" internals 😂 it is enormous
The amount of water that the 2 inch puts out will cause any reducers to create back pressure and fail.
Thank you for the video. I’m wondering, how long does it take to cycle from water to bleach on 200’ of hose?😊
I’ll time it and let you know!
It takes roughly 40 seconds
@@AdvancedSoftwashLLCThank you brother
Yes sir!
Thank you for the update. How long of a hose is on the reel during this test? What is the length of hose that you add to it and how diminished is the flow and distance with the additional hose length?
The hose is 150’ and the extension is the same. The flow stays the same with maybe a foot less of distance
i use that pump it works great. I have mine set up the same way. i hit 3 stories.
Really? That’s great! Do you mind sending me a message on my Facebook page!? Id love to see how yours is setup compared to mine!
Thank you
I am setting mine up the same as way
Thanks for the update.
Have you tried using a 1/2" hose at the reel to see if you get better pressure? That would be a good 3rd video.
It could be worth a shot…
The setup is great when I place the intake hose directly in my tank, but the flow is horrible when I run it through my portioner, what am I doing wrong? Please advise.
What size is the proportioner? What brand valves are you using?
Do you know what the psi is coming out? Also does it need to bypass at all? Does the pressure build up when your off the gun?
I’d assume still roughly 60psi. Haven’t tested at the gun
Awesome better than a regular 12v
Roughly same price to replace as well, although maybe not as fast of a swap out… but that’s why I wanted to test lol
@AdvancedSoftwashLLC you say it's not better than an AR45 or comet p40 but it's flowing good plus those are $1500 or better i know i have one i would definitely try this over that price wise
How many washes would you say you have on this setup?

I have a similar set but i have the red gun which is 5-16gpm. Wondering if the the blue gun makes a difference?
Same gun different internals

My pump blew the black top on it anything u can recommend it to stop doing that
Replace the plug with another one. Sounds like your threads are shot on the plug. Can probably find a regular plug to use at a hardware store
Great budget build. Is that just a Predator fresh water waste pump?
Yes
Can you put together a parts package to buy from you?
Email me - advancedsoftwashllc@gmail.com
How long have you ran it without being on the gun? Like not flowing. Does it get hot at all?
Longest I’ve done is 10 minutes and only seemed like heat from the sun warmed it
How long does that small gas tank last??
Roughly 2 hours with mine. Not to bad
How long have you been using it
Roughly 4 months now. Plan on trying to use it even more with some videos to show real world action
How long do it take to empty a 50 gal tank?
Roughly 5 min at 9gpm
How long does it run for with that little fuel tank that it comes with?
About 2 hours give or take
What price to set up?
That’s gonna depend on what all you need honestly. For me it was around $900 for the pump and proportioner
so what if I’ve put a bigger motor on that pump will I get better flow?
Could go to the 2 inch if you want more flow but it comes down to your restriction in pipes how much flow you will get
What type of pump are you using?
It’s just a standard water pump
Do you need a bypass?
@@heathwyman7917 no
Do you have a list of parts
For my whole build or looking for something in particular?
That's awesome
