McMaster Carr. You can get hose tips and nozzles to fit the ball valve and keep the most flow. I used one of these pumps on a little homemade hydro seed rig and it was phenomenal! Now I want to duplicate your softwash setup but with all pvc fittings (manifold too) and no size restrictions. Nice work my man!
I have an older 12v Fatboy bandit setup with 1/2 inch hose and 1/2 inch proportioner. How do you think it would work with this pump. I rarely use it now but always have trouble keeping 12v's working.
@@connorwoods5427 no issues for up to 10 minutes so far. Putting an unloader on this system isn’t really needed since it’s a centrifugal pump. I wouldn’t recommend going over 10 minutes of course just in case!
@@Sebanavila sure. Only reason for bypassing the hose reel in this video was that my 250ft of 5/8 hose was on the reel still. We just rigged the 3/4 on for testing. However we will be swapping our system to 3/4 hose
@@AdvancedSoftwashLLC That's great news, I was thinking about it too but have my concerns, will wait till you post results and the make the move. Plan is 250 of 3/4.
@ yes I tightened things up getting more of a steady stream now but with about 200 feet I feel like I’m only getting about 35 feet of distance doesn’t seem to flow fully when I let it sit for a couple seconds then pull the trigger I get a lot of distance but it dies down and doesn’t stay consistent
@@AdvancedSoftwashLLC 5/8 how do you fully prime the pump? I just bought it a few days ago and been messing with it but I’m trying to fully get it plumed with no leaks

Were those first 2 years going through your metering system? Or were you bypassing that as well as the reel?
@@jjpabst1392 I’ve always gone through the metering system
That 3/4 flexzilla hose is it (2) 100ft sections you connect together or (1) 200ft?
That is only 1 section of 100ft
I’m currently run 2 sections of 100ft
@@AdvancedSoftwashLLC ok cool. Think i can still get some decent flow with my 200ft 5/8" soft wash hose? All i got for now
About 6~7gpm and less pressure
@@AdvancedSoftwashLLC dang really u tried it???

It might not perform as well, it might start the pump if that’s how you feed it
How long can you be off the trigger before it starts giving issues? Is there anyway to have unloader or anything

@ thank you!
Have you tried a 3way ball valve instead of proportion valve ??
No
Wonder how it would work just a thought
Are you asking in place of a metering valve or in place of the whole proportioner system
In place of the whole proprtioner valve
System I mean
So does the 5/8 hose lower the flow, but up the psi?
5/8 lowers both flow and psi
Why bypassing the hose reel? Most don't do it. Can you do it with the hose reel and share the results?

@@Sebanavila nice! We will definitely do a better comparison with all 250ft of hose 3/4, both through and bypassing the hose reel
@AdvancedSoftwashLLC Awesome! Thanks for sharing all your success with this system.
how hot can you get the mix ?
Depends on how much you cut back the water and spray just sh. But at 50/50 I should be at 7.5 give or take
Hi,i try to set up the pump but how you prime de sistem ?
Pour water into the top cap, run the system. It will pull through the lines and get the air out
I need one I’m in Florida and been wanting a gas powered I need more flow then 12v pump
@@Eric-t8v if you are wanting to buy a full skid from us they will hopefully be available this week for order!
@ awesome how much will they be I’m definitely interested I’m impressed with this rig it puts out the kind of flow I want.
@ we are still waiting on prices for a few things then we can add it all up and have a price ready!
Try a jrod take that gun off pos for a soft wash gun. Tone it in with a jrod I bet you get better results
@@eddiekramarcik6757 we will do a comparison video for you.
It needs bigger tips us 1540 bet you get more volume
@@priddyroofcleaning7575 it would definitely get more flow from a bigger tip, as for me this is perfect for what I use it for!
I don’t get a consistent stream of water
Check for air leaks. Are you using 1 inch plumbing?
@ yes I tightened things up getting more of a steady stream now but with about 200 feet I feel like I’m only getting about 35 feet of distance doesn’t seem to flow fully when I let it sit for a couple seconds then pull the trigger I get a lot of distance but it dies down and doesn’t stay consistent
@ what size hose? Still seems like you have an air leak. Make sure you don’t have any bubbles going into the pump
@@AdvancedSoftwashLLC 5/8 how do you fully prime the pump? I just bought it a few days ago and been messing with it but I’m trying to fully get it plumed with no leaks
@@AdvancedSoftwashLLC can you prime it with the hose and hose reel hooked up first or do you have to have it all off first to prime it
