Thanks brother. I have been meaning to install a Hudson float valve for some time now. I used the spec's you used in your video and ordered it all from Amazon. Thanks again. Keep up the good work.
If you drill in reverse you cet a cleaner cut and less shavings,, I learned that from installing Live-wells and did do it on all my tanks on my pressure wash Trailer
What I used was a bigger colander and a wood working clamp to hold it onto the lip. I’m just getting started too and using a lot of your content thank you sir.
Wow! Lake George! I grew up in the Clifton park, moved south in 2010 and seeing that 518 just brought me back "home" there for a second with The Great Escape and visiting the lake strip to kill a weekend day. The only thing in the video that made me shudder was the words "plowing" and "winterizing" 😆....I don't miss that sh!t at all!
@YoungAmbitionYA - Why is your set up a large water tank flowing into smaller tanks that you use on the job as opposed to just running from the larger tank? Whats the benefit ?
Yes and I love it. Our mornings have been about 55 - 65 degrees. The other night we got down to 40. I have 2 more washed this month and then I'll probably be winterizing
Great video. So what does the bottom of the tank look like as far as what the hose coming out and where it goes too? Guessing I goes straight into the pressure washer right? I have a 4gpm and want to make it unload into a tank because if not I can’t be off the trigger too long or it will burn up. Anyone have a video or advice how to do it. I really rather buy a tank already plumbed up if anyone near Tampa FL has one. Tku
Hey how's it going? Thanks for watching and the comment. The bottom of the tank has similar bulk heads as the inlet that hook to hose lines that lead directly to the 12v pump. My pressure washer isn't currently hooked to the buffer tank but I plan to do this next spring. Like you, I will be having it unload into the buffer tank so it cycles cool water.
A little late, but for future reference; you can just let the chips fall into the tank, then use a syphon hose(piece of garden hose) to syphon the water out and suck the pieces of plastic out with the water.
I see you have a garden hose in and 4 valve out... this video shows 2 of the valves out go to water tanks but what are the other 2 lines used for? I assume you plug the clear line in the soft wash pump at end of job for rinsing? What about the other green flexzilla hose?
Hey Collin. Some of those valves are replaced by the new float valves. The green flexilla hoses were connected to the 2 outlets on the top side of each tank. Each tank was given a new float valve. Each float valve is fed by a flexilla hose. Each tank then has an outlet bulkhead at the bottom where the pump pulls from
The water comes from a homes spicket, into the flexilla, to the float valve and then into the tank. This keeps the tanks full. At the bottom of the tank is a bulk head valve that allows the pump to pull from
What's up Hilly. Lots of factors. Are you downstreaming? Are you in the north or south? South has a lot of concrete driveways and surface cleaning is huge down there. 8gpm seems to be the ticket for those guys. I live in the northeast and we are all Asphault. I soft wash houses and roofs with a 12v 5.5gpm pump. I only have a small Honda PW 2.5 gpm. I turn it on like 3 times a year up here. I rarely use it for my business. Let me know what you're looking to do and we can narrow it down
@@YoungAmbitionYA So do you rinse with your 12 volt as well? I noticed in a comment above you said you have 2 Soft Wash systems, would both be used in a regular house wash (One for chem and one for rinse?) or how do you go about it? thanks in advance
When I saw the amount of bleach containers you deal with, it made me realize I might be dealing with that too when I get my business going next Spring. Any advice on getting rid of that many? Do you crush them? Thanks for the video, just subbed. Ps.. I'm in W. Ma. , right on the border of NY.
Whats up neighbor! All those 5 gallon jugs have deposits on them. When you go get your new pallet of full jugs you return the empties. I dont mess with the 5 gallons jugs too much anymore. I found a chemical supplier who delivers four 55 gallon drums at a rip. Much better!
Hey boss really appreciate all your videos! Question on tank size, do you still need a large water tank if using a hudson float valve to constantly top off your tanks? Or would having a smaller tank, 50 gal or so with the float valve work?
What's up Josh. 50 gallons would work. 100 gallons is just extra "buffer" which is nice when you get a job with a slow well pump or spigot issues, but nut a necessity. Some guys carry 500 gallons. Nice to have but not always necessary.
What's up Brandon. These tanks and skid came as a built unit. The setup I had before this I bought a 100 gal tank from homedepot website. Free shipping to our local store. I've heard chemtainer.com is good. You have to call them to order
@@YoungAmbitionYA Preping for the season. I did a new setup this year to make my life easier lol. Good luck and make a shit ton of money this year>>>$$$$$$$$
The marketing you do in June is business for July, august etc. Same applies for off season. start marketing (door hangers, mailers, EDDM etc in Feb/March and stir up business for April/May. When youre busy keep marketing. marketing should be consistent month after month. if you pause your marketing you pause your business. also reach out to previous customers and offer a discount for early spring work
@@YoungAmbitionYA Ok. Do you have to pull your hoses entirely off the hose reels for the softwashing and pressure washing or can you leave whatever you don't need rolled on it while you spray?
With soft wash it can stay on. For the pressure washer I wouldn't leave hose coiled while under pressure. I keep my reels dead so I can pull off what I need and then connect to my jump line
The flexilla just jumps a few connections throughout the system. I used a 100ft flexilla hose or rinsing for awhile but it got ruined. On the wand line is kuritech hose
Been awhile since I did this but I dont think theres any mirrored shots here. Some of my vids are mirrored depending on what camera the phone was using, front or back. But the orientation of the truck bed and garage seems to be accurate. If I remember correctly there was some funky threading on the valves to keep previously threaded pieces from unthreading as others were tightened
Screwing with my head. The video shows that the drill is going counterclockwise for cutting. All my cutter spin clockwise, so it must be your phone screwing it up.

Thanks!
Been lookin all day for a similar float valve and here I get a complete install and demonstration of it working!

Great idea! Check the new vids for my current set up! Good luck!
One thing I like about this industry is it seems that even the little things can become the biggest investments on saving time and frustration haha.
Definitely!

🤣 yes lots of good up here, could take less snow myself hah!
Very neat trick! So this keeps the tank always full with water. Thanks for the video!
Incredibly useful!
Thanks for showing every single step
That's very nice of you I will definitely going to do on my water tank
Awesome! glad it helped!
Thankyou for sharing that. Love the pups scooting by, lol
They're something else. Thanks for watching man!

Super helpful video. Thank you brother.
Glad it was helpful!
Starting to get a little cooler here ..what kinda temps are you guys seeing in the mornings where you are ..nice to have the cooler weather to work in
Yes and I love it. Our mornings have been about 55 - 65 degrees. The other night we got down to 40. I have 2 more washed this month and then I'll probably be winterizing

May i ask what size hose did you use with the barb end?

What size flexzilla hose did you hook to that hose barb?
5/8
Greetings from England great vid did the same works fine, love the dog's bit like mine, all the best , Foz
Hey Foz - thanks for watching! Hope all is well on your side of the pond!
Does it turn back on once you have used up some of the water?
yes, as soon as water drops below the float. so tanks always stay full or are filling
So where is your water coming from ? Are those Flexzilla hoses at the top on the Hutson connected to a reel?
The water comes from a homes spicket, into the flexilla, to the float valve and then into the tank. This keeps the tanks full. At the bottom of the tank is a bulk head valve that allows the pump to pull from
Where do you get the chem? I just need an idea of where to look for chem in bulk.
Check pool stores or a chem supplier
is it possible to gravity feed out of a 55 gallon barrel and use a bulk head fitting to feed a 4 gpm machine? thanks!
What's up Pat. Yes that is possible! Use at least 1 inch diameter non collapsible tubing
@@YoungAmbitionYA thanks man I'll give it a try, much continued success to you bro!

@@YoungAmbitionYA Good to know. My first thought was " yikes ", lol.
Have you found a easy way to remove the monster sealant when needed? I couldn't get mine loose.
Brute force 😅
Do you recall the size of the hole saw?
i don’t, sorry

Nice video brother ..keep doing what you do
Thanks Mike! Thanks for stopping by!
Thank you for this video it was very helpful, but I have a ?…….

U been MIA bro nice 2 c u..cool vid!
I know I got real busy and everyday when I tried to cut out time for a vid I had something else pop up. Lots coming this fall and winter! Stay tuned
what size do you use for the water feed from the REEL TO your water tank, 3/4"?
Dood thank you so much!! subscribed to your channel
Hey! Thanks for watching and the sub! Tank to reel is 1/2. Upping that to 3/4 or maybe even 1 inch to the pump and reel before this season starts!
@@YoungAmbitionYA asking for my own education, going 3/4" or 1" will there be water loss or anything? like pressure?
Can I get different sizes Hudson valves for smaller tanks?
I don't belive so
@@YoungAmbitionYA Ok. Do you have to pull your hoses entirely off the hose reels for the softwashing and pressure washing or can you leave whatever you don't need rolled on it while you spray?
With soft wash it can stay on. For the pressure washer I wouldn't leave hose coiled while under pressure. I keep my reels dead so I can pull off what I need and then connect to my jump line
@@YoungAmbitionYA Ok, I don't know what a jump line means, but thanks for answering so many questions.
Jump line/whip line comes from the pump and connects to the reel. I don't connect it to the reel. I leave it hanging and connect hose straight to it
I see you use flexzilla everywhere, almost. Is it working out well? How about on the pressure side to the wand? Have you tried their pressure hose?
The flexilla just jumps a few connections throughout the system. I used a 100ft flexilla hose or rinsing for awhile but it got ruined. On the wand line is kuritech hose
What size Flexzilla are you using to feed the buffer tank ? Thank you
I believe its 5/8
@@YoungAmbitionYA thanks that’s what I was thinking.
Thanks for the great details and awesome video.
Anytime bro!
Thanks for that! I’ve never seen one in action
Pretty neat!
I was like What... the... Hell... left handed threads. That looks crazyville. Then noticed the video is mirrored.

Which Hudson is this? I’m looking for this same size. 3/4”?
What's up KG. Item list is in the description.
Putting a filter on the outlet side of the tanks would help a lot.
Yes! Doing so this winter!
What kind of filter would need to be attached? As for location, are you talking about where the hose is connected? Thanks
Just a heads up - Hudson doesn't want you to use anything but Teflon tape for the thread seals on their float valves.
Oops. I didnt know that but this has held up quite well!
@@YoungAmbitionYA In the directions they say not to use pipe compound. Lol, I will be using pipe compound. A.K.A. True blue. 🤪
Mine have held up since this install. No issues with the glue
This is great stuff!
Great video!
Sweet rig man! How much do they cost ?
This one was about 8500 but it has 2 wash systems. Single ones can be cheaper. Check out the channel @southeast softwash to see the skids
Young Ambition Soft Wash thanks man! Kill it out there

Shop vac if it floats to the top
None of the links are working can you tell us what sizes is exactly of all the parts.
Hey Dbuk. They work now. And all 1"NPT parts
Thanks man!!
Anytime! Thanks for watching!
Using Teflon tape is cleaner and will not contaminate your water.
Can you post the parts used? Thank you. Subscribed
