    what are the connectors from the tank to the pressure washer? or can you link them?

    For the incoming water feed, did the tank come pre drilled and all the fitting already attached?

    • @SMOUT_
      @SMOUT_  ปีที่แล้ว

      No I drilled the hole at the top for the hose connector.
      The one at the bottom was already drilled with a half inch thread I think 👍

    probably a daft question, but when ordering the tank do you need the undrilled or outlet options, also is the stopcock already inside the tank as there's an option to add a brass float valve thank you

    Is the tank and your jetwasher bolted in your van,. I'm worried if I leave this in my van when I start my own business that the van will be broken into

  • @ben2687

    Hoping for a reply.
    This just gravity fed then?
    Does the flow exit rate from the buffer tank exceed the GPM of the pressure washer, or does the pressure washer create vacuum to suck it out, thereby creating sufficient flow?
    Thank you! Working on setting one up myself, but my flow rate out of the tank is lower than the GPM rating of the pressure washer and I don't want to burn it up.

    • @SMOUT_
      @SMOUT_  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Most pressure washers will suck yeah. A better measure of flow would be at the end of the high pressure hose with no nozzle on. Then you'll see a huge increase over what comes out of the bottom of the tank alone.

      Thank you very much. That believe that makes sense.
      Just to be clear though, if my buffer tank...open valve, nothing hooked up to it besides the feed hose.... flows say 2gpm, do you think I could hook a 4gpm pressure washer to it? My tank is 300 gallons and flows out a standard size garden hose. I'm just surprised the flow rate isn't higher....300gallons should be a lot of gravity pressure.
      Thank you again. I do appreciate it.👍👍

  • @benmoreton4979
    @benmoreton4979 ปีที่แล้ว

    Do you need a bypass that goes from the pressure washer back into the buffer tank. Was reading if you take your finger off the trigger and leave the pump running it can mess the pressure washer up. Is it worth installing a bypass ?

    • @SMOUT_
      @SMOUT_  ปีที่แล้ว

      I think it's mainly for heat management to prevent the pump overheating. I had a bypass installed on that machine after this video.
      I'm not sure what happens inside the pump when there's no bypass, I'd like to talk to a professional

    • @benmoreton4979
      @benmoreton4979 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@SMOUT_ I read its just better for the pump, because its always getting freshly cycled water helping it stay cool, guessing it just increases the life span of the pump. how long did your pump last without a bypass?

      It's a suction hose which came with the machine. It's specifically reinforced so it doesn't collapse.

    • @jameswoolnough656
      @jameswoolnough656 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Depends on the water pressure as the pressure washer would most probably use more water than the outside tap could produce so you would need to part fill the tank before starting
