Is there anywhere I could find a full list of the parts necessary to put one of these together? Just so I can get it done in one fell swoop as opposed to making 17 different trips to the hardware store. Thanks in advance!
Hi, great video series. Lot's to learn here. Was wondering if a plastic drum would be adequate instead of steel or would it collapse under pressure or leak at top or at connections ? Trying to reduce weight as much as possible.
@@TaeKenDo standard plastic drums will implode especially if using hot water, unless they are mostly full of water, which defeats the purpose of weight savings. You don’t need a vacuum pressure vessel capable of withstanding 15 or 20 inches of mercury if negative air pressure, but you do need something that can withstand 5” for an electric shop vac on the 5-6 hp range…
That is so cool. I’ll be very happy if one day I ever got to sit down with you and hear your experience and pick your brain. Doing this kind of work in the Pacific! So cool
Just followed your channel/ subscribed 👍 I have wastewater Reclaim System I use as well not enough people talking about it in the industry I plan on making videos about it really soon because a lot of questions could ask and I know not a lot of people know what they need to know, great video bro I will be keeping up 👍
Thanks man! I know it’s hilarious, it’s like this forbidden topic that seems like nobody will touch. I am (obviously) BAD at making TH-cams and I am definitely not the type of person to have a channel, but it was like: if nobody is gonna address this, then everyone’s gonna get my shitty videos until someone does. Lol
Great video! We pressure wash driveways in fairly rural areas without storm drains so most of our work doesn't require true reclaiming. That said we are constantly fighting poor drainage so dirt settles back onto the asphalt as fast as you can spray it off. Just being able to vacuum it off then pump it out to the yard with this setup would solve most of my problems.
Ya Dude! You know for us too, even in a very urban area, quite a bit of our work is “as a matter of practicality”, and not for an environmental reasons. Like the surface we’re cleaning just doesn’t have a drain, or a strong enough drain field. A lot of it for sure is from environmental law, but a sizable percentage of our income still, and likely always will come from just good ol’ difficult logistical circumstances.
Absolutely, thanks for that compliment, and I regard that as a true compliment, I hope I deserve it… one of the great things about this business, is it cultivates a healthy and competent representative of materialism. You’re not greedy and “materialistic”, rather that you’re good at working with material with your hands. Metal, engines, and tools. A real Materialist, because good things come from it, for both parties…
I was saving for a Sirocco PEV2 - 30 ($2,500). After watching this, I'll try putting one together and spend the money on signs and marketing. Happy to have came across your channel.
Thanks for saying that man. Those systems are really good. You got a lot of possibility to work with! If I were starting out today, I’d probably go with those.
Hey there brother first i want to thank you for all the videos you make for us. Lots of knowledge shared with us. I was wondering if u sell pre made top of the drums with the fittings already connected? Definitely interested in one. I would build it but i can’t seem to find a parts list to build it. Thanks again brother
Hey AJ, we SHOULD be selling those. I will look into making that one of our first products…cheers! FYI you can make them pretty easily, check the end of the vid, there’s a parts list at the very end…
@@PolyVshot yes you definitely should man. A lot of people would buy! Do you also have a parts list for the breather valve that you made? Also do you think this will be efficient enough for 10gpm?
There’s two kinds you can use, one is a brass or PVC flapper valve. The other kind is called an atmospheric check valve, which is nothing more than a 1’ long piece of lay flat hose between two fittings in a frame. When the pump is not running the lay flat hose gets sucked flat and collapses, when the pump activates, it uses WAY less energy to push water through the flattened hose than it does forcing open a mechanical flapper valve inside a brass or PVC housing.
thanks for the video, any chance you have a diagram and list handy? how local township has just been flooded so im going to have some clean up to do to help the community.
Hey Shaun, sorry I didn’t see this comment…. No I didn’t bother to make one, figured the video was enough. The system being so simplistic, there’s not too much to it. 😌
@@PolyVshot awesome thank you, I’m currently putting this system together for my fleet wash business and this was my only road block thank you very much for the help

Bro what a wealth of knowledge bombs dropped in this video. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for saying that Dude! 🤓👊🏽

@@PolyVshot Alright, thanks.
This is great. Thanks for taking the time to film.
Absolutely, you're very welcome! is that name Hawaiin? Pacific Islander? :-)
Roger that. Tongan, to be exact.

Thank you sir. Appreciate you sharing your wealth of knowledge. I'll put it to good use as i am just starting out in my PW business.

Awesome video...will help out a lot!!! Thanks
Glad to hear Dude!
Thanks for taking the time to put this together. Can't wait to see more of your content and then build one myself. Take care brotha!
Absolutely Brother, you're very welcome! More to come for sure...

@@PolyVshotno there’s no parts list!
That’s awesome. great video.
Maybe we can get the test run done Friday or Saturday this week!
Do you know a place I could get my hands on a 100 gallon pressure tank? I've checked facebook and craigslist and ebay.
What check valve do you use on your auto pump outs?
There’s two kinds you can use, one is a brass or PVC flapper valve. The other kind is called an atmospheric check valve, which is nothing more than a 1’ long piece of lay flat hose between two fittings in a frame. When the pump is not running the lay flat hose gets sucked flat and collapses, when the pump activates, it uses WAY less energy to push water through the flattened hose than it does forcing open a mechanical flapper valve inside a brass or PVC housing.

Go to his channel. He has a part one video
Hey Shaun, sorry I didn’t see this comment…. No I didn’t bother to make one, figured the video was enough. The system being so simplistic, there’s not too much to it. 😌
what is a step up option from the shop vac so that you can reclaim from a 20in or 24in surface cleaner before having to buy a $2500-$4000 blower?. . .
To run a 20’ or 24” vac surf, with an electric shop vac, your set up will be 10’ or less of 2” vac hose. Sorry!
Where do you get your extra vac hose every hose I have found is 1.5 inch I can’t hardly find any 2 1/2 in
Any carpet cleaning supply store. Check with Jon Don In your area or steambrite.com is a good placed to get light weight 2”.
@@PolyVshot awesome thank you, I’m currently putting this system together for my fleet wash business and this was my only road block thank you very much for the help
Any parts lists for these items?
How about flood recovery pumps instead of shop vac?
a "flood recovery pump"... is this a type of vacuum that moves air. or like a trash pump or grinder pump you're asking about?
Can you contact me . I need some assistance putting my rig together
