purchased these valves and i am almost done with the set up excited to put it to work this season.
Spent all his money on the Jeep and not the trailer setup
😂
Lol damn
That’s what I was thinking. I’m starting out with a small set up too but I have a 96 Ford ranger and my house cost less than that jeep. Not knocking his setup though because he might not want to scale up. He probably has a very good full time job with great benefits and this is just a side hustle that he enjoys. I’ll hope be hitting the ground running early next year and I’ll be doing just that. It’ll be a side hustle for awhile but I’ll allow the business to grow itself and see what happens. In the beginning I’ll definitely be keeping my full time job with benefits. Might find a good young man that wants a part time job to train and employ so I can get more work done.
🤣
Probably already has and rewarded himself with it
Looks great. Keep looking up!!
Bout to get started and I’m gonna try this valve setup.. simple yet effective!
I like the soft wash setup it crazy see these guys spend almost grand on manifolds when you can just make one rock on man 🤘🏻
Great information. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! If you are part of any Facebook Rouge, please feel free to share this video. I think you can definitely help some people.
Thanks guys! I did a lot of research before I built this little rig. My next upgrade will be a 10GPM pressure washer so I can run a bigger surface cleaner. Besides that it does everything I need it to!
It's very functional and works just as good as an expensive setup. Looks good bro
Todd can you list out the parts and sizes for the soft wash?
David Aaron yes I will!
Get 3 1/2 barbed to 1/2npt, 2 true union ball valves from Amazon, 2 1/2npt to 1/2 npt sprinkler 2-3in risers, 2 90 degree 1/2 npt elbows and a tee fitting threaded for 1/2in npt.
Todd are you playing golf with me this weekend? If I win, you got a buy me a sandwich lol.
That's a nice setup. I like the way you guided the conversation and video content. I felt it was professional and very informative. Well done 👍...(Tod, Keep it up and hit it hard!)
Those ball valves probably flow better than metering valves and get a little more distance.
go 4 it Todd!!!!!
Your down stream setup is the air hose to the wand with the j tips, the hose connects to the bleach 5 gpm pump that powered from the deep cycle battery. From that one hose runs to your two valves. One valve pulls water and other pulls your SH. All that just to apply your SH or you drop your pvc into what chemicals your needing? Correct.
And is your pressure washer also plumbed to your IBC tote?
Setting mine up and I like this. Can I get the info on the wand and the bleach pump. Thanks!!
This guess would be great at poker 30 seconds in. Gonna need some check valves on those ball valves to prevent cross contaminated of SH or Water. You get SH in that water tank then now all that water is SH.
But yeah that's pretty much my 12v soft wash manifold. I used sch 80 threaded fittings and pipes. I have a valve for water, sh, surfactant and aux.
My 12v wand i made the same way but i can quick connect wands lengts 12",24",48" just like his or use my adapter and connect tips straight to the gun with no wand.
Check valves are in the truck to be installed. I appreciate the feedback man!

@Todd is the comet pump a EWD4042? Does it pull water?
@@LanceSheppard it could but not likely. Direct drive pumps have 1/3 the vaccum of belt/gear drive pumps so it's best to place a 12v in between buffer tank and pressure washer that is greater than the pressure washer gpm.
@MannyAguilarJr that is what I was planning with the 12v. I have a ewd4042 with a 420cc predator and it won't pull water lol
Hi. Enjoyed your video. Excited to start doing this. What size trailer do you have and what ideal size do you recommend?.
Great video, but do you have a video on how to make the metering valve please ???? thank you....
Can you make that same metering valve system and add 2 additional ones ? For surfactant and another chemical ?
Good video. Beginner you could use that set up for years. You need nothing more for residential or even light commercial.
Absolutely
Hey Billy I just got a used PL3500 because of you. It leaks around the base of the inlet valve while running. Does it need a new seal or is that valve messed up? I tried to remove the valve but didn’t want to break something, it’s on there beyond tight. I could flip it over and it wouldn’t break free. I don’t have a vise big enough for the machine lol.
Hey, could you send me some pictures of it? My phone number is on my website billydavidsonvip.com.
Hey brother I was wondering if you could possibly tell me where I can get 12.5 sh from I stay in Livingston I been using the pool essentials from Walmart but I would much rather buy stronger and in bulk
Good looking setup, man
I'll see you this weekend you better practice swinging your golf club because this time I'm going to hit it the furthest lol
@Billy Davidson we will see lol 🤣🤣
@@dirtblasterspowerwashing
Todd is going to be my bodyguard and he's going to steal your golf club
😂😂
@@billydavidsonvip I can tee off with my foot lol
Beginner set up? This doesn't look like a beginner set up at all. But then he's been doing this for a dozen years or more. I think you forgot what a beginner really needs anymore. But it's a nice set up for a professional
Hey guys, I notice there is no check valves on the soft wash system. Has that ever caused any issue?
I’ve had a little bit of back flow with water in the sh tank only when the hose was uphill. I have check valves in the truck I need to install!
So far I have not gotten one call from my logos on my van . I am actually surprised . The lettering is so large you can’t miss it. 8 months in.
www.billydavidsonvip.com/
is the hose on the hose reel also 1/2 inch? i already have 100 foot of 5/8 flexzilla. my plan is to use the 100 foot that i have to build esentially what you have but was going to have 250 ft of flexzilla on a hose reel. do you think that would be any issue?
Yes, that should work fine
I've heard that you don't get very good range with the 5/8 though. The guy I heard that from said he switched to 1/2 in and that fixed the range issue.
Where’s the surfactant at to mix with chemical and water when doing roof cleaning??? You only got 2 proportioner valves
Do you have a personal vehicle or just use your work truck as a personal vehicle as well?
Where’s the link to how to land dumpster pads?

Hey, I just posted it here whenever you join your find my personal cell phone number on my website if you can text me so I can program you as one of my VIP students! Thanks talk soon
How do you add in surfactant
Instead of having a separate valve and tank with the complexity of those components, you can add surfactant to your water
The v6's are terrible on fuel if you're towing daily. We have v6 and a v8 amd the v8 got way better mileage than 6 ever did
Is he using the buffer tank with the 4gpm pressure washer ? Jw if so does it pull good being a direct drive pump ? Thanks
Hey, so only some pressure washers will pull from a buffer tank. Usually direct drive cat pumps will pull from a tank.
@@billydavidsonvip thank you
I would like to know this answer too which I will find out soon because I am putting together a rig with a 4.8gpm canpump and so far I have only hooked directly to a faucet with a hose but I am wanting to plumb my buffer tank to it.
So what happens if The pressure washer doesnt pull water from the buffer tank, is it ok to add a water pump from the tank to the pressure washer to feed it tough?
@@mauropasillas2054
This is exactly what I plan to do. 12v pump to feed the direct drive from the buffer tank.
That Jeep Gladiator transmission won’t last long. It will be the first thing to fail. Big 37 tires , plus pulling a not that heavy trailer but heavy to a Jeep Gladiator with a weak transmission and weak V6. I promise you that Jeep Gladiator is struggling to pull itself around with those 37s and now pulling a trailer.
All your profit will be spent putting in or rebuilding the transmission.
Don’t get me wrong Jeep Gladiator is a good looking truck I like em a lot but it’s definitely out of its element.
I don’t see how you can monitor the SH with no check valves. Check valves allow for a consistent flow plus prevent back flow.
Best of luck to ya.
Appreciate your feedback man! It actually pulls quite well it’s a pretty stout truck. I’ve town a 27ft travel trailer to Tennessee and back without issue. Have a good one Sir!
@@todd2987 your V6 must be better than my neighbors 2021 Jeep Gladiator. He pulls a bass boat and complains all the time about trading it in cause it struggles to pull the 18 ft bass boat at highway speeds. Does ok around town but constantly searching for the right gear on the highway.
I pull my wash trailer with a Chevy 2500HD . Very similar set up as yours except I run one Pentair metering valve with check valve and no valve on my water side.
I have never run a surfactant valve , don’t need it. Run Flexilla hose like you do . Run a Delvan 7 GPM pump. Shoot 35 ft up no problem. Do 40-60 houses a year part time.
System works great. I feel sorry for these guys that get snake bit and spend 10k-20k on new rigs and alot are up for sale 6 months down the road. Way to much hype in the PW business. Got to have this or you can’t do it … what BS. Keep it simple and you will make money and not go into debt.
Keep washing brother … I am 👍
!
Keep it simple stupid... add bits on as your bisness grows. Finance nothing and you will succeed , but only if you make it happen and have the will to take the good days with the bad.
Does he add soap to the mix somehow?
He probably adds surfactant to his bleach
run a test.... use air pressure only compared to water pressure.
Can you be successful in the pressure washing business if you don’t offer roof cleaning as a service?
You can but roof cleaning is very profitable and makes selling your services easier.
Listen, they started at the jeep, I came here to comment, now I’m clicking on a diff video lol.

For top-tier performance, choose a Southeast Softwash trailer.
You left out.....
Business insurance (several grand a year). Using your personal vehicle for business means that goes up too, if you don't and stick with just regular car insurance they won't cover your accident, the trailer is also an extra cost to cover the equipment in it.
Advertising can easily factor in several thousand...
If you are not a sole proprietor and you have an employee.... yikes the workman's comp will be up there.
Not trying not to burst people's bubbles but the rig is the cheap part....
New people need to understand all costs involved, because it is going to take commitment and a lot of work to keep the doors open....
I feel ya on this. I am one month into my LLC, Still building my trailer got cards and yard signs made and most everything purchased equipment wise..... All while hoping that the close to 17k I have invested to this point will pay itself off the first year. It seems that there are some very cheap ways to be able to go out and call yourself a professional, but unfortunately I can not work from day to day on a rigged up system that I wouldn't know from day to day if it was going to work correctly. I am too meticulous about things and the quality of the workmanship. I just hope my blind leap pays off.
I didn’t make it past the yammering about the jeep.
Sorry you missed some really good details
