One of a few vids that explains how an average pressure wash company set up actually works. Thank you. I’ll be uploading mine soon. Exactly the same but open trailer and I do not have the pump running to the tank. Will be doing that this week. Thanks again.
abdul0811 Where I live it gets cold while it's still pressure washing season. Having it enclosed means I can put a space heater in there at night and not worry about my pump housing or hose freezing.
I appreciate the tip on raising the ibc above the power washer inlet with plastic pallet. My "shark" washer says 20 lbs pressure to the supply. Does ibc create that lbs with water weight?
So... There is a possibility of putting all this equipment inside a cargo van ( like a Sprinter or similar ). My condominium complex doesn't allow trailers, and the village ordinance prohibits overnight street parking. Yes, I could look for some small commercial space, but I rather spend some money on some old van, than pay rent. I'm in the same situation, employed full time ( for now ) with a passion for cleaning things. How did you get your customers? Beginnings are the worst... Great video ! Thanks for sharing your setup !
@@jake08casey that is exactly what im doing now with a 150 gal tank with my 4 gpm, just have to be innovative with the exhaust how you want it to face maybe add tips to the exhaust leading it to rear doors or side i lead mine to the rear doors so i have those open and use my side doors open to run my hoses off my reels. It can be done
Did you say that your 4gpm is producing 8gpm? i have a 4gpm havnt plumed it yet to a tank i was thinking 1/2 inch to the pump from pump to jumper line 3/8 line to 3/8 hose line what do you suggest ?
Hey Casey excellent video! Helped me out a bunch with my setup. I'm just getting into the business and I'm trying to figure out what the bottom black hose is used for?
Oooooh ok I get it. Are you able to do soft washing with your pressure washer? I was told to just change the ends. I'm currently practicing on my family's homes before I start trying to get business. Don't want to be out messing up people's homes.
Cool setup my man! I'm thinking about getting one of these 275 tanks. Guy selling a bunch of them for $40! I paid $30 for my used 35 gallon one. You said your getting 8gpm out of your system? I'm very interested in getting numbers like that. I have a 4gpm machine and I swear sometimes I feel like I'd rather spray the house down with a garden hose (sarcasm, but you get the point) also, you said you have the tank on a pallet so it's sitting above the inlet of the pressure washer? Does that really make a difference?
yes im getting about 8 gal min really i would be ok if i got 5 as long its more than what the pump is pushing out. and for as the pallet prob running a half full tank prob wouldn't need one but it was free so i just didn't chance it and just trying to have as much flow possible but i think you would be ok without it . thanks for the questions
one for the garden hose i got at tractor supply and the filter right before the pressure washer is a bangjo filter i think i got it off of amazon. just google banjo filter and they will pop up
This is a brilliant setup.. you gave me some ideas, Thanks.Im in the UK and I cant find that detergent adaptor that you showed. is this something you made yourself.. Thanks
I have question my man. So I set up my trailer sorta similar to your, I have 135 gallon water tank ran 1" pvc pipe to 3/4 nylon hose to the pressure washer, the only thing I'm not getting any pressure. The first time I ran ever everything I had the tank on the floor, no pressure. I raised it 4" so it can be a bit above the pressure washer inlet but still no pressure, you think you can help me out?
i would prob try a bigger inlet hose but my hose is a inch and my pump sucks it right in maybe try a little bigger tank or get the water source higher hope this helps
casey young if you are running a direct drive unit it won't pull water compared to a belt drive or gear driven units. New to this but I have figured that out
@@trotmanpowerwash3892 you can get a direct to pull if the exchanger comes with a bypass system then it is commercial grade and strong enough the key to direct pump is to have your tank more than half way full to provide enough gravity fed pressure and to have big enough hose.
He’s not. A Cat 3CP3120 is rated at 4.5. I had one on my first rig. I now use an 8gpm setup, and I can promise you that GX390 ain’t pumping 8gpm with that pump. Theoretically you can use an 8gpm pump paired to a GX390, but the psi won’t be enough for anything other than vinyl. You want 8gpm with 3000+psi you need a GX630/660/690, or a Kohler CH620, or a 2 cylinder B&S Vanguard.
the red hose is running from the reel with the hose pipe to the tank.and more gpm more wash you get also bigger surface cleaners you can use sense my pressure washer runs on 4 gal. a min i use a tank to make sure my pressure washer doesn't starve for water. my tank produces about 8 gal. a min. some house only put out 2 or 3 gal. a min. the tank is a safety feature for my pressure washer
casey young hey great video. Thinking of doing this myself. For 'fleet' washing I would assume water source availability is not as readily available (would like to offer this as a service). Any idea what people do in this case? Should I get dual axel and fill the tote?
I don't have a pump my pump on pressure washer will pull water plus the hose is so big it with feel a 5 gallon bucket up in 20 sec. more than enough for this pump I could run two off this one tank if needed
casey young I purchased a 120 298 gallon per min transfer pump to hook 2 ft from water supply. hopefully it will increase water pressure when the house isn't enough
The supply tank is giving me 8 to 12 gal a min to my washer my pressure washer puts out 4 gal min . I have the tank where my washer will never starve for water. Yes in the video I said 8 gal a min from my tank not the pressure washer. Hope this helps
can anyone help me I have a 2700 psi 5.0 honda hp water pressure. and just put a 3000psi pump.its hook up on a 100 gallon water tank ? sometimes it doesnt spray water at the instead that the wp is turn on, I got to mess with it... help plz.
I work for the railroad too ( Norfolk Southern ). They cut our overtime and started to bring more and more contractors to do our track work so I decided to start my pressure washing business. I sure do miss those hefty checks with all that overtime but it's time to move on and have something on the side to compensate.
casey young would like to know what you used to connect the red hose feed line to your hose reel? Specifically what fitting you used at the hose reel swivel?
Sorry about the mistake I made in the video about the water flow. The tank is putting out 8 gal of free flow so that being said my 4 gal min pressure washer will never be starving for water. Hope that helps

Great setup, very clean, professional 👍 Shalom!
Nice simple set up. Money maker
them coxreels are fantastic, DONT BE CHEAP, good job
that is a nice setup you have me thinking deeply about and enclosed trailer now...
It's the way to go keep stuff out of weather and keep everything locked up
abdul0811 Where I live it gets cold while it's still pressure washing season. Having it enclosed means I can put a space heater in there at night and not worry about my pump housing or hose freezing.
thats why i keep my wheels on my pressure washer cause i can roll it out during the winter time
space heat would work great
super clean setup, good job
Great setup bro thanks for the video I’m trying to build my 👍🏼👍🏼
God looking set up - I like stacking the hose reels too.
Yes the only way Togo

How did you get your customers? Beginnings are the worst...
Great video !
Thanks for sharing your setup !
i think with some real thinking and a smaller tank you want have any trouble making that work for you
@@jake08casey that is exactly what im doing now with a 150 gal tank with my 4 gpm, just have to be innovative with the exhaust how you want it to face maybe add tips to the exhaust leading it to rear doors or side i lead mine to the rear doors so i have those open and use my side doors open to run my hoses off my reels. It can be done
Curious where did you get the additional piece that allows you to stack the hose reels?
can you tell me where you bought the little air vent fitting for the top of the tank ? thanks
northern tool its liquidynamics def vent kit
Nice rig, sir!
nice set up thanks for sharing !!
Notasulga in the house!!! Hope you're doing good Bub.
Did you say that your 4gpm is producing 8gpm? i have a 4gpm havnt plumed it yet to a tank i was thinking 1/2 inch to the pump from pump to jumper line 3/8 line to 3/8 hose line what do you suggest ?
I think he's getting 8 gallons per minute when he pulls his hose off the machine and just lets the tank run
Hey Casey excellent video! Helped me out a bunch with my setup. I'm just getting into the business and I'm trying to figure out what the bottom black hose is used for?
that is the hose that you hook up to for water supply at a house
Oooooh ok I get it. Are you able to do soft washing with your pressure washer? I was told to just change the ends. I'm currently practicing on my family's homes before I start trying to get business. Don't want to be out messing up people's homes.
yes i am and its just by getting the right tips for end of gun
Hey Casey, where did you get the red fill hose from?
How long is your high pressure hose
Cool setup my man! I'm thinking about getting one of these 275 tanks. Guy selling a bunch of them for $40! I paid $30 for my used 35 gallon one. You said your getting 8gpm out of your system?

Where did you get your filters? And what kind are they? Great video! A lot of notes taken for when I build my trailer.
one for the garden hose i got at tractor supply and the filter right before the pressure washer is a bangjo filter i think i got it off of amazon. just google banjo filter and they will pop up
Thanks!
Where did you get the bulkhead fitting that connects to your bypass line that goes back into the tank?
Tractor supply
what kind of preassure washing do you do? getting into mobile car wash, but looking to see what else is out there. nice setup btw
commercial and residential
Great video. What is the purpose of banjo water filter you use?
its just a secondary filter for extra protection for the pump if something got in the tank
This is a brilliant setup.. you gave me some ideas, Thanks.Im in the UK and I cant find that detergent adaptor that you showed. is this something you made yourself.. Thanks
its something i bought its called a down stream injector
Nice setup 👍
My pressure washer instructions say it needs 20 psi minimum to operate, do you get that or do you need a pump?
So that hose reel is just to connect to a water supply to fill up the tank?
The bottom reel is the top is the high pressure hose
I looked at northerntool for that vent and cant find it what department was it in..
Im trying to figure out how your making a 4 gpm pump put out 8 gpm...thats not possible sorry man.
My take is putting out 8 not my pressure washer I caught that in the video
You chemical tank 35gal? What size siphon tube are you drawing with? How is it setup inside the tank?
I have question my man. So I set up my trailer sorta similar to your, I have 135 gallon water tank ran 1" pvc pipe to 3/4 nylon hose to the pressure washer, the only thing I'm not getting any pressure.

casey young if you are running a direct drive unit it won't pull water compared to a belt drive or gear driven units. New to this but I have figured that out
Nice Set up. What size trailer is this Casey?
6x10
Who installed this for you? And from where did you buy all the equipment? It looks professionally set up, thanks.
i set it up my self and i bought it online
Awesome channel just found you guys !
Are you using a transfer pump? I set up my rig the same way and but I'm not getting any water pressure to the pressure washer
no its gravity feed my pump only requires about 1 to 2 pounds and the pump will pull the water
casey young direct drive pump will not pull water compared to belt driven pw
@@trotmanpowerwash3892 you can get a direct to pull if the exchanger comes with a bypass system then it is commercial grade and strong enough the key to direct pump is to have your tank more than half way full to provide enough gravity fed pressure and to have big enough hose.
How do you turn the 4 gallon a minute pressure washer into pumping out about 8 gallons just by adding a tank
That's just what he's getting from the tank to the machine think about it.
Nice set up !!! can u do a video on how u set up your bypass?
yes i will make a video soon as possible

My take is putting out 8 gal min not my pressure washer sorry about that
What did you use to cut the holes on water tote
i used skil hole saw set
what is that red hose for? and why is more GPM better?
the red hose is running from the reel with the hose pipe to the tank.and more gpm more wash you get also bigger surface cleaners you can use
sense my pressure washer runs on 4 gal. a min i use a tank to make sure my pressure washer doesn't starve for water. my tank produces about 8 gal. a min. some house only put out 2 or 3 gal. a min. the tank is a safety feature for my pressure washer

i would get a dual axel then you would be good
Hello, my name is shane with dream clean services in springfield ohio. would love to have a little help getting advice on how to set up a skid unit
ok you can contact me if needed
What kind of pump is on your water tank that gives you more flow to your pressure washer?
I don't have a pump my pump on pressure washer will pull water plus the hose is so big it with feel a 5 gallon bucket up in 20 sec. more than enough for this pump I could run two off this one tank if needed
casey young I purchased a 120 298 gallon per min transfer pump to hook 2 ft from water supply. hopefully it will increase water pressure when the house isn't enough
casey young that would mean you are running 15gpm from a 4gpm pump I heard you say 8gpm in the video I'm having a hard time believing any of that
The supply hose can flow 15 gpm he never said anything about more than 4 gpm coming from his high pressure pump. Why are you needing help with this?
The supply tank is giving me 8 to 12 gal a min to my washer my pressure washer puts out 4 gal min . I have the tank where my washer will never starve for water. Yes in the video I said 8 gal a min from my tank not the pressure washer. Hope this helps
do you have problems with motors
i don't what kind of problems you having?
can anyone help me I have a 2700 psi 5.0 honda hp water pressure. and just put a 3000psi pump.its hook up on a 100 gallon water tank ? sometimes it doesnt spray water at the instead that the wp is turn on, I got to mess with it... help plz.
How big of a tank is that
thanks for the info. how many jobs do you schedule a day
i work for the railroad and this is a side job. so my 2 days off a week i get 2 to 4 jobs
I work for the railroad too ( Norfolk Southern ). They cut our overtime and started to bring more and more contractors to do our track work so I decided to start my pressure washing business. I sure do miss those hefty checks with all that overtime but it's time to move on and have something on the side to compensate.
could u clean roofs whit this set up
Yes you can do roofs with this setup
if there is any thing on my setup that you would like to know more about let me know and i can make more videos thanks
casey young would like to know what you used to connect the red hose feed line to your hose reel? Specifically what fitting you used at the hose reel swivel?
www.amazon.com/Banjo-HB075-Polypropylene-Fitting-Adapter/dp/B0019J1UOQ
casey young thank you!
Is your pressure washer a direct drive or belt driven model? I want to gravity feed without burning up pumps in the process.
what size banjo filter is it you have and what size hose did you use for your bypass
May I contact you directly with a few questions? I'm putting my first trailer together currently
yes that is fine
What size trailer
6x10
What or how you have your floor protection from the water?
in my trailer i have at the rear where most of water spill is i used bed liner paint that works well for me
just cheap trailer floor paint
what does a set up like this cost?
i would say between 3000 to 5000
Sorry about the mistake I made in the video about the water flow. The tank is putting out 8 gal of free flow so that being said my 4 gal min pressure washer will never be starving for water. Hope that helps
Casey I have few questions for you .
ok what you got for me? i will try my best
What is the size of your trailer
6x10
This is a 6x10
