I just got this exact model pressure washer working on starting my own business. Good luck out there!
Awesome! It has worked great so far. Good luck to you as well!
yo @spoderpan116 whats the verdict hows it looking like
Love it
Thank you!
Always pretreat and post treat makes your job a hole lot easier
Definitely. I only do it as needed. This one wasn’t too dirty, only post treated
I'm trying to start pressure washing myself this video was helpful!
Good luck to you! If you have any question hit me up
Same here. Any other tips for beginners? Thanks@
@@ben2687 best to do it as a side hustle/ on the weekends. On the weekends people are home and can see you working. The neighbors may stop you and ask for a price. You gain a relationship with the home owner since they are most likely home on weekends. More eyes on your business. Equipment wise - 4gpm pressure washer is a good starter. Gpm is more important than psi. Use bleach while cleaning. Look into soft wash/ down streaming if you don’t know about that.
Good luck man! I’m starting next month
Thank you! Good luck to you! 💪
It's been a whole year. What have you achieved?
The plant in the hot tub was epic 😂😂😂
👍😂😂 was waiting for someone to comment about that 😂

I haven't watched your other videos but i hope the Audio is better. You have to speak up and clear. But the washer looks real nice. i have the same some unit a few years older with CAT pump. General was probably a better choice as I hear they are easier / cheaper to fix. What model surface cleaner are you using here and how has it held up. I use my machine for personal use but I want a good surface cleaner. This little belt driven machine has allowed me to wash my roofs, siding, boat bottoms walks and drive ways . i use an X-jet modified for the house roof a long with J-rod shooter nozzle. Turbo nozzle for boat bottoms. Perfect for my needs.
Surface cleaner is a whisper wash - ultra clean. Everything working well so far
@@timmcintee Thank you for the reply and good luck to you!!
@@OdinsCloudthank you! 💪
Purdy good there...love the set up.... just next time be careful with customers plants.
Haha thank you!
Good video. Just wondering is it humid where you live? I live in a really dry state so just wondering other peoples climates
Thank you! Yes it gets very humid in the summer time
Got my sub. Did you use any S.H?
Thank you! I used SH in a pump up sprayer to touch up a few spots after I was done cleaning. But the pavers weren’t too bad so I didn’t pretreat.
@@timmcintee Thats awesome man. I like what you are doing. Keep it up
@@Gonewithjon i appreciate it! 🤙 right back at ya
Hey bro I have the same machine , when washing a house are you just changing tips for the correct pressure, or are you adjusting other things as well like revs etc ? Thanks bro
I just changing the tips. Low pressure tips for soap and SH. And high pressure tips
Great work 👍 where did you get your ball valve and tips from let me know thanks
Thank you! I got them from pressurewasherproducts.com
@@timmcintee just a heads up this link doesn't work
Hey bro does that setup for the surface cleaner come with the ball valve or did you buy that separately
I bought it separately. Definitely recommend buying a ball valve
Was your pressure hose long enough to reach the pool or did you have to take the pressure washer out of the truck? If you didn’t did you just back your truck up as close as you can to the pool?
I had just enough hose to leave pressure washer in the back of the truck. I will have to add another 100ft of hose for any better jobs
were did you get the ball valve and j rod kit at?
Pressurewasherproducts.com
You seem pretty prepared man so dont take offense but did you make sure you've got the proper nozzles in that surface cleaner? Keep it up man!
Thanks man! Yea, I have the 25025 tips on there
What price sir ?
@@yogeshghavale-zx6on prices for the surface cleaner tips? They are around $10 each usually
Bow do I know what tips I need for my surface cleaner? I thought it came with the correct ones when I purchased it
did you pretreat and post treat the surfaces?
This job I only post treated
Do you have a link for the pressure washer and other equipment?
Pressurewasherproducts.com I bought the 4gpm belt drive
Stay in the truck as long as you can without a trailer. It’s so much more convenient. I suggest building a skid to go in the truck.
I agree. Truck skids seem very convenient
@@timmcintee yeah I built a trailer first and sometimes have to load stuff in and out the truck whenever my trailer won’t fit. Honestly you should never need a trailer.
That’d be sweet. Are you washing full time?
@@timmcintee yes
How is your equipment after few weeks did you like it?
I have the same machine now I’m looking for 16 be or 16 whisper like you
Equipment has been great. The 16 whisper wash works awesome with it. Would recommend
Thank you
How do you do with the water then you going to clients? Your own water tank or do you using clients water?
Clients water
Where did you order your pressure washer?
Pressurewashproducts.com
What size garden hose are you using?
5/8
What size surface cleaner did you use?
That’s a 16” surface cleaner.
hey how much did you charge, im struggling with pricing
Believe this one was a little over $600.
Usually around $.20 per sqft for flat work.
Gave them a little bit of a discount because they gave me work before.
Easiest to think how long the job will take in hours. Then decided how much you want to make for that long of work plus your expenses.
How long did the entire job take you
4-5 hours
How many feet of pressure hose did you run?
150 feet
No company really makes a pressure washer. They just assemble them and brand them. They buy an engine from Honda and a pump from Cat.. Bolt them on a frame.
Why do they put their name on it?
@@timmcintee It is like when a company contracts out. They brand it for marketing purposes. Same with a company that makes pc's. They snap parts together like hard drives and ram, processing chip and call it HP or Dell, Compaq.
Hi, when cleaning around a pool, do you have an agreement with the customer to just let the dirty water go into the pool and someone else will clean the pool later? Or is it just standard procedure and they already expect it?
I mentioned to her that id do my best to keep the dirt out of the pool. But I think it’s expected. Can always put it in writing if you’d like.
What model and how many GPM is your washer?
4 GPM 4000 PSI HONDA GX390 13 HP GENERAL PUMP
Post treat everything first. Then surface clean. Then rinse. NEVER run bleach through your surface cleaner. But nice job sir.
I only pre treat when it’s very dirty. Find it to be a waste of time if it doesn’t need it. Post treating seems to be the way to go on normal jobs. Thank you sir
It's impossible to post treat first
@@rinehart.madeit8248 lolol true
Post means after. Pre means before
Finish the job BEFORE you start it, ALWAYS
What brand, GPM and PSI is that. Looking for a smaller belt drive. Good looking setup!
Pressure pro 4gpm
@@timmcintee thank you. I've checked out the site. Very competitive prices. Good luck with your business.
Yea the prices are great. Thank you, you too.
What’s the gpm on the washer?
4 gpm
What sized Honda engine ?
Gx390
Why did you get a 16" instead of something like a 24"?
With surface cleaners you generally go 4 inches to 1 GPM. This pressure washer is 4 gallons per minute(gpm) . 4 x 4 = 16 inch surface cleaner. That’s what is recommended at least. I could get away with a 20 inch, just would have to move a little slower.
Larger the surface cleaner, more gallon per minute pump needed.
Where did you get the ball valve jrod kit?

can you share a link for for pressure washer?

What pressure washer are you using
Pressure pro 4gpm
@@timmcintee thanks
how much for all the equipment
Around 2500 - 3000. Quality equipment
I dont have a pickup truck only a camry😔 how am i gonna fit a 4gpm pessure washer. Also did you use sh and sulfactant befoore the surface cleaner or not neccesary?
I’m not sure about the Camry boss. I didn’t use sh / surfactant on this job because it wasn’t too dirty. But it definitely helps to use those on dirty jobs
@@timmcintee i appreciate the response. Would you probably recommend me getting a pickup to be able to carry my equipment around? Currently active duty and am movingback home to FL and looking to get started asap. Is it oossible to attack a trailer to the camry possibly or you think my surface cleaner, pressure washer and xjet will all fit?
@@danielxrivera1333 if you have proper commercial equipment I don’t think it will all fit in a Camry. Plus the chemicals you probably wouldn’t want in there. They probably have kits to pull small trailers with cars, but I don’t have experience with that. Would need a truck/van eventually
@@timmcintee understood. Already planning to sell the camry for a pickup. Really trying to hit the ground running. Apologize for all the questions but seeing as you’re very well established its of high value to me to get your input. Would you say 4gpm pressure washer, 16” surface cleaner, X jet, and chemicals would be good to start? Along with j rod and ball valve?
@@danielxrivera1333 yes sir. I use a down stream injector rather than xjet. But they both get the job done.
Yes, all those things you mentioned. Plus garden hose/ pressure washer hose. I carry a bleach pump up sprayer to spray real dirty spots that need stronger chemicals.
Where u buy equipment from??
I bought this equipment at pressure washing products in Clearwater Florida. Pressurewasherproducts.com
@@timmcintee just a heads up, this link doesn't work either
@@danchesebro2735 oh, thank you. Pressurewasherproducts.com is the correct website.
Whats the tip called that u ise to rinse
It’s a ball valve. I have it on there so I don’t have to turn off the pressure washer to switch between the surface cleaner and the wand. Plus can use the ball valve to rinse
@@timmcintee ok thank you im thinking of starting my pressure washing buisness thank you for your videos very informative subscribed!
@@bigfoot1261 I appreciate! Good luck
How much was that job?
This job was $650
What model of pressure washer?

LOOKS LIKE U SHUD RINSE FROM INSIDE TO OUT AROUND THE POOL TO AVOID DEPOSITING DEBRIS IN THE POOL. JUST AN OBSERVATION
Yea, there isn’t much you can do around the pool. Stuff will get in it
What chemical do u use for your business?
Usually just bleach. And commercial grade degreasers
Thanks your video was helpful
@@julianlujan2191 thank you!
how's business?
Pretty good, staying busy. How about you?
I didn't find this to be educational. I didn't learn anything. Just watching you wash.
What were you hoping to learn
