After spending a lot of days online searching for an affordable and strong water barrel, I have come to conclusion that a wheelie bin is the most suitable one. It's cheaper than those blue barrels and various forms of IBC tanks. Unlike others, the structure around the lid is very strong, has a wide wide, you can attach things to it if you require, it's got wheels not to mention and sides are flat making it ideal to install different kinds of pipes and hoses. Where there is a will, there is a way! 😃
He means that the pump on his machine actually sucks the water out of the bin. So he is saying, that the weight of the water pushing downwards makes the water come out of the bin at a faster rate!
I bought everything from your links, but you don't have one female hose connector in the shopping list, you only have 2x male hose connectors, and just now I noticed in the video that you're using a female hose connector on the fill valve.
SO I constructed a similar setup but I decided to use a clear plastic tote bin for my tank and raise it up on cinder blocks due to my pressure washer being mounted on my wall. My problem is that my washer gets no pressure or flow to it and I cannot figure out why the water isn't pumping with enough force. Do you think because I used a wide shallow tote and not a taller narrow bin I'm having flow rate problems? I know water column has a lot to do with pressure but I figured I'd have enough flow to get to the washer at least.
Informative Tutorial. Very well explained. Thank you for this
Glad it was helpful!

Thank you for taking the time to make this gem of a video! At the end what did you mean by sucking water?

i have a dewalt 3600 psi 2.5 gpm machine, direct drive, is this enough cause i dont know if my machine sucks water
very nice
Thanks, much appreciated
Sucking through hose lock connectors. Pump will be drawing air and cavitating it's tits off.
so youre making a video of someone elses idea that they also put on youtube, my guess the same video you saw to copy to make yours lol
