I just started up my own pressure and softwash business with a simple trailer build back in April this year and although things started out really slow, things started looking up residentially consistently. I would love to get into commercial properties after I am more experienced but unless someone has $15-20 grand at disposal, it's extremely difficult to afford things such as these and set ups like it and I have 0 ideas why... These are simple plumbing at the least which are probably built with $100 max in simple setups but are advertised at no less than $500 used lol! Another example of price gouging is the southeast softwash crew. Now, I understand we're all in the business to profit and expand profits right, but the prices they ask for simple builds, pumps, supplies and especially their chemicals and soaps lol!! Ssw also advertise their ball valves over $110! Wow!! Doesn't people know you can buy a plain Jayne ball valve for low to high pressure for $30-40 bucks all day everyday either locally or on Amazon lol...??? Prices for products and items as above in the video by so many is ridiculous and such things make it really difficult for the average Joe to be and continue to be profitable and successful to finally reach a stage they can afford some of these things. I accept the fact I'm gonna catch flack from some commentors and that's alright with me especially these days. Goodluck to anyone out there grinding everyday and keep it up!
On this exact unit if im using 10gpm 24 volt my set up would be for the SH -Drop stick in water tank to banjo flush valve -Drop stick in SH tank to other port on Banjo flush valva -Short line from flush valve to manifold
So if my house wash surfactant says “1 cup for 5 gallon of solution” on what number should I set the soap valve? The surfactant I’m talking about is in 1 gal jug and it can be mixed with SH for a house wash. I’m planning to drop the soap 1/4 hose right into the 1 gal jug. I’m not doing batch mixing that’s why I’m confused with this ratio that the chem factory recommends. Thanks a lot
You'll want the hydro-mixer XL with 3/4" water and chem, 1" pump inlet, 1/2" bypass, this unit here washingequip.com/online-store/ols/products/hydro-mixer-xl-for-gas-powered-pumps
On this particular setup, yes. The reason for doing this is a 3/4" metering valve has a much lower flow rate and 1/2" ID hose is more than sufficient supply. Often times 12 volt pumps struggle to pull through two 3/4" ID lines equally.

Hey Ryan, thank you for your comments and opinion! Have a great day!
Great video

What sized uniseals are those? At they ordered by the ID of the hose line or are they ordered by the OD of the hose line?
We list them on our site by hose ID

Just under 1
I have a comet P40 11gpm
What size fittings and plumbing would you suggest for the correct flow. Cheers

@@midwestwashingequipmentllc1209 thanks for the reply! I wanted to build it myself. I was just curious on the fittings, but man yours looks pro!!!
So the 3/4 valves have 1/2 barbs?
On this particular setup, yes. The reason for doing this is a 3/4" metering valve has a much lower flow rate and 1/2" ID hose is more than sufficient supply. Often times 12 volt pumps struggle to pull through two 3/4" ID lines equally.
Ok I’m asking because I just got mine and it has 3/4 barbs.
How much is the cost
