- First time firing up our new 8 gpm. Flow and Draw Testing tomorrow.
I’m thrilled with this set up so far. #evolution #hustle #onemanonetruck #powerwashing #roofwashing #guttercleaning #softwashing #housewashing #2022WashSeason
I see Show truck award coming 💪
😂✌🏼
Hey Joe I like the new 8 GPM. I'm about to get one soon. I noticed you got a gear drive. Do you prefer gear drive over belt drive also have you had any problems running the gear drive. Love your channel man, keep it up!!!
The gear drive has had no issues. 2 years on it now. I chose gear drive for space savings
Hi Joe, awesome progress, what’s the maximum psi on the 8 gpm 💪
3500 ✌🏼❤️
What size suction hose to the pressure washer are you using? Thanks
1”
Does it reduce to a 3/4” thread into machine
@@brianlucas3187 no sir. I believe it’s all 1”
Joe, is the yellow spa hose going to the pressure washer 1 inch?
Yes it is
Wait until you get the Davis tip on that gun. 3 stories no problem 😂. Happy to see you grow.
Thank you Rob
Great video bro
I’m gonna make a video soon on how I winterized my first rig five years ago I did something similar to where I could winterize it in a matter of minutes on the fly, It will be on my RUclips channel this one here
That’s awesome. Tag me when it’s up
@@powerfulimprovements will do man 👍
Hi Joe,
Are you using a 3/8" or a 1/2" whip line? Is your first high pressure hose line 1/2" or 3/8"? I'm only asking because there's a few channels recommending that set up for a 8.0 gpm machine.
All 3/8
@@powerfulimprovements
Yeah, that's what i thought. I'm also using all 3/8 and still getting 9.0 gpm with the flow test. Don't know why their recommending 1/2".
Thanks
how do you not have any kick back??
The flow actuated unloader relieves the kick back
Just built a similar setup but with a Udor 9gpm. Definitely all the power I will ever need! Your machine is going to rock Joe! Get ready:)
Sweet!
Dude the rig looks good, neat, and efficient! See about something to transfer SH to the tank in the truck faster. I think it will be your last piece to a faster year. I believe the 8gpm and other upgrades will cut about 1-2 hours off your day. Let’s time it when you start the season. Let’s time it on 3-5 jobs a day depending on house size, drive time, etc. I’m rooting for you! No pulls baby lol will that size line support the 8gpm?
Yes absolutely we have one of the GEN two pumps will be dedicated to transfer I’ll have a banjo pigtail coming off the pump which will then go to the transfer a drop stick for the 55 gallon drum on the ground. Proved to be pretty slick last year and will be improved upon this year
hi joe, i was wondering... i bought the combo setup from washmart.. it came with the zk1 unloader and I see you're using the K7 unloader... whats the difference and what made you go with that particular one? I just had the typical argument with my local power washing repair guy and installer that its too dangerous to use with the flow sensitive unloader :(
🤷🏼♂️
@@powerfulimprovements lol you didn’t really answer my question 🤷♂️
@@smitty4699 yeah. Sorry. Either should work the same. At your own risk.
Looking good Joe!! Congrats on the 8 GPP unit & welcome to the club!!
Thank you!!
I definitely like that the winterizing setup I might have to do something like that this fall
We’ll see how it works tomorrow
One key turn baby one key turn 😂 it’s coming together 👍
It just doesn’t ring the same
@@powerfulimprovements True. Won’t have to do as many gym workouts to get you ready for that key turn though 😂
Nice, but I’ve been watching this build like a 14 yo looking at Victoria Secrets catalog waiting to see the red gun with the K-1. Stop teasing! 🤣
Gotta keep ‘em guessing
I am sure you have said it somewhere but I’ve been catching up on your videos. I desperately need to get into a soft wash system. Do you recommend your system and if so what is it and where can I purchase?
Powerwashstore. Gen 2
Sir, did you never open the motor all the way?
Great job brother. I’m super happy!
Now that you mention it I did not!
@@powerfulimprovements You only got a portion of the power
@@powerfulimprovements As a rule, I let it idol on turtle for a minute or so, then let her fly.
Looking awesome..! What is the difference between your unloader and the stock one.. I think it was the vrt3.. I had bought the VRT3.. I haven't Installed it yet. I'm looking for less kick as well. It kills my forearms.
K7 K1 are flow sensitive so no pressure gets built up in lines
28th
Big evolution since you started 2 years ago. Fun watching them old videos and comparing the difference
Yep. Crazy
what do you think of adding a second battery? why do you have it full throttle starting and stopping?
Single battery will suffice. Never had an issues starting and stopping previously at any throttle range. 🤷🏼♂️
Where you have the charging /regulator unit bolted to the side of the engine base plate, put a couple of rubber mounting washers there. It allows air to flow behind it, & stops any vibrations from potentially cracking it. Was advised by my supplier when I was putting my machine together.
Thank you for the advice
I'm pumped man! I believe you're going to really like that unloader. I ran the ZK1 last year and its just so nice how it comes on smooth.
Can’t wait to try it out for real
Joe, where did ya find that skid your using? Is it all aluminum? Thanks
That’s all custom from a good friend of mine
I always use air for winterizing, but I made custom air hook-ups for more than one type pump or system. The Schrader valve will slow your volume. Use a male air hose plug for better flow and hands-free connection. Look up RV winterizing fittings to get an idea. I also made up one using a hose barb tee/1/4" thread with a brass back flow valve and air plug that was the greatest because it was always hooked up in-line ready to go.
We may modify
What did you use to keep your pressure washer from kicking when you pull the trigger? Love your set up!! Thanks
K7 flow sensitive
Love it Joe! What’s that connector called that secures your whipline/injector to your shelf?
Mounting block
I also use that same spa hose for my 8gpm. And also I’m gonna attempt the baffle system in my 525 gallon tank. I’m gonna try 200 feet.
The baffles work great
Hey joe off topic but what tip are you using for your 12v? I know you like the Jrod.
I’ll like go jrod again this year. Short shooter and 25* fan
Downstreaming you can remove moss from roofs? Looking too do roofcleans, alot of clay roofs and heaps of moss
Nope. Need hotter mix
What hotter mix?
@@DDG-Downfall you’ll need to get a 12volt system and do more research about roof washing. I have tons of videos to watch
@@powerfulimprovements was not sure if you where taking about SH %
Yes you’ll need to achieve 4-6% SH to effectively clean roofs
I’ve been waiting for this !!!!💪💪💪💪💪✌️✌️✌️🍺🍺🍺
💪🏼😂👍🏼
Hopefully we get to see the blue gun run on next video! or was it red? Either way i'm excited.
Plan on tomorrow
Try1/2 inch pressure hose with the 8gal you will get better flow 👍
Truth I’m sure
You’re still allowed to say “One Pull Baby!”
😂✌🏼
All looking good. When you blow it out is it gonna blow out-the by pass line
We’ll see tomorrow
Still crushing it! Simple and easy to work on!! Like how quiet the motor is. Looking good!
💪🏼😎✌🏼
Looks awesome Joe 👍 I’m still using the 5.5 gpm… 🦈
Nothing wrong with that
How did that winterizing go ??
No problem.
@@powerfulimprovements awesome! Going to see if I can winterize that with with my skid!
@@Abel3270 we’ll be winterizing again soon
@@powerfulimprovements did you do the same thing to the 12v system?
awesome 2022 build cant wait to get my 8 gpm later this year
💪🏼😎👉🏼
Will one battery run all of that? I’ve often wondered this
Yep. All day. Several days between charge
Congrats on everything so far Joe. Money maker right there! 👍
Yes sir
Love the new upgrades, lookin great!!
Thank you
WOW that thing sounds great!! Nice and quiet
She’s sweet
I would suggest idling down your machine before shutting it down....
Good advice
@@powerfulimprovements No worries my man. I just picked up the Honda 690 8GPM and was told that from the service tech during the start up and shut down. Stoked for your rig and wish you the best this coming season!
Nice Joe. Watch out, Mike is gonna get you for not Turing down the throttle before turning it off. Hahahha. Love your setup
😂💪🏼✌🏼
I was gonna say the same thing 😜
Great stuff. Good to see you Getting Ready!!!
Thank you
No more 1 pullllll!!!!! Upgrade
😂✌🏼❤️
It's coming together!
💪🏼✌🏼
No kick! That’s what we love!
Very slick
one pull Baby!!

Looked like a good flow for low speed. Awesome! 💪
Yeah. We’ll crack it open tomorrow
@@powerfulimprovements pedal to the metal 😜😄

Sweet man!! That thing has some serious volume 😳👍
Flow test tomorrow
@@powerfulimprovements 🍿🤓
@@MNpicker 😂😂😂✌🏼❤️
Nice
Getting there
What happen with the iX 700 ?
Wasn’t the right set up for what we want to do. Returned
What pump do you have on that engine?
