    About 3 years ago I was washing a big 2 story. Then about 2/3 way through I wasn't getting water. I ran around checked all hose's then shut down machine. As. I got to pressure washer I heard pump starting to sing.. shut it down got home owner and told him l lost water pressure. Then he tells me he shut off water because plumber called and was on his way to put in new water tank. Needless to say I wasn't happy and told him he may have just caused my pump to go bad.and it would be 1400.00 to replace it. He turned water back on and everything was fine. I got job done before plumber got there. I didn't tell or scream at him just explained everything. He was fine and gave me another big job. So everything turned out well.

    Watching your videos have really open my eyes to this market that's available in my country Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹. Just today I was mentioning to my friend about the possibility of quitting my current job to explore this market because of the informative videos and advices from you ....

    So I just got a Simpson 4200 PSI, 4gpm machine with the Cat pump. I don't need a buffer tank correct? If so, do you think I would need a pump in between the machine and tank?

    True dat, but I don’t call it a buffer tank, I call it a water tank or a storage tank or a supply tank because although a “buffer” is generally inserted between the source and the end point, the word buffer means to lessen the effect at the end point from what was produced at the source. But we all know that the reason we use a “buffer” tank is to increase the effect at the end point. So I think it is more accurately descriptive to just call it a water tank.

    I’ve got a 4.7GPM and I’m getting a 65gallon buffer tank for the homes that have well water and so I can use my bypass. So inconvenient having to stay on that trigger all the time.

    I have a 2.5gpm however live rural so often run into houses that have extremely low pressure at that tap. Would you recommend having a buffer tank in my case even though its only a 2.5gpm?

    I am interested in upgrading my rig to a 10 GPM machine. I know you said 100 gallons would be on the bottom end. What would you say is the ideal buffer tank size for 10GPM? Weight is no concern with my truck.
    Also, I hear people speak negatively about tote tanks and I wanna know why and what kind of tank would you recommend?

    I have not yet seen all of your Videos , but just curious on the water side of things cost , pros/cons. Advantage disadvantage of being and using your own water tank. Like what gallons could cover what square feet and stuff. Again love the channel hope you see this.

    Mike I have a question about quote iq and didn’t get an email back! I’ve been using it for awhile, and I have such a simple question. Just want to know if there is a way to add a tip option on invoices after they are done? I’m in statesboro so I’ll come find you for a beer if I have to🤣

    Question about travelling with water tank full...is this a no-no even if you have an adequate truck or trailer ?

    • @AllAboutPressureWashing
      @AllAboutPressureWashing  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It's ok as long as your trailer is rated for it, your truck is rated for it and you have good brakes.

    Do you recommend combining two pressure washers when needed to get more gpm? And would it have to be the same gpm?

    • @AllAboutPressureWashing
      @AllAboutPressureWashing  ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm not a fan of Siamesing machines together but it is possible and the machines must be equal psi and GPM. Make sure you get the correct high pressure check valves.

      Don't be a dumbass, do you just give pricing out to customers without getting any kind of contact information from them? I certainly hope not and if you did you're an idiot.
