Thank you for your knowledge and these videos! Everytime I search for how to do something related to PW you have the perfect video for it!!
Thank you very much
You are a pivotal piece to the puzzle of pressure washing! Pions just talk trash to be heard. What you do is priceless.🙏🏿💪🏿
Thanks a lot 🙏🏽
Good stuff. Im just starting out and working on setting up my truck bed for high pressure and softwash.
Awesome. Come on in!
Thanks Cliff! Another great Vid!
Glad you enjoyed it
Keep talking your doing great 👍
I appreciate it
With the big IBC tots, have you thought about putting the large black corrugated tube inside the tank? This will help prevent the water from sloshing around inside if you have to travel with full tanks. I saw it on Powerful Improvements TH-cam channel when he built his new rig. Just and Idea and oh by the way where are your gloves…LOL
Yes I will be adding those in there as well. Definitely don't want that sloshing with all that water. I didn't use one with my 125gal buffer tank in the van cause I never carried water.
Truck looks very nice sir. I liked the idea put the thanks together...
Save space👍👏😊
Yea I still got a bunch of space left over too
Yea I was gonna ask how u got the shavings out but I see good content bro..
Yessuh. Shop vac
🎯💯

Cliff wtf y can’t the guru’s do the same y is everything so secretive unless you pay not hating but I’m just starting like you said TH-cam is treacherous and will make you second guess your life lol but my guy you @superblast get it done his rig fancy but his mind solid you guy show the things the people like to get paid for appreciate you sir much love salute from Cleveland ohio
Lol idk brother. Can't make everyone happy and that's a fact. Thanks for the love and support ❤️ 🙏🏽
Some people just like complaining. Keep explaining. Making drop sticks is not hard but some people don't know how to do it. You did a great job and explained very good.
Hell.yea. heck, I didn't know how to make em at 1st. That's why I showed my old drop sticks
I appreciate these videos man.
Thanks for watching
Bro! I have been looking for this information!!! 👍
You're welcome
great video and info friend. I'm using a lot of your info videos to better my build. thank you for sharing
Thanks a lot for watching
Learning so much from you even though i don’t own a pressure washing business
Thank you for watching
Great job on putting the droptubes into the tanks.
Can’t wait to see that beast of a rig out making you money.
Keep up the good work!
90% done! She's itching to get on the road now
Looks like you got rid of the hose in the pipe with your new one and just hook the hose to the top of the bulk head with the barb fitting right bro?
Yes the drop stick with PVC doesn't need a hose. The PVC has a slip to 1/2 inch thread that screws into the filters
You taught me something today with that template, thats awesome. I can't believe someone said you talk too much when you're giving out awesome information that most others won't share. Keep on talking Cliff 😂. Getting close to 12k 👍
Oh snap didn't even noticed I was getting close to 12k. Thanks Randy
More talking Mr.Cliff👍🙏
😆😆😆😆💯
Surfactant question. In your soap tank for soft washing 1) what Surfactant are you using? Slomo right? And 2) do you run just straight soap in the tank or are you diluting it? ........
Yes, I add the slo mo in the tank. It has to be diluted. it's way too thick to be pulled by that 12v system.
What’s your dilution for 5gallons of surfactant
I need to do this. I am still literally dropping my sticks in and pulling them out to flush them at the end of the job.
Yea I dont move my drop sticks at all.
GREAT VID!!! Keep killin it bro!!
Thanks a lot 🙏🏽
Great video Cliff I look forward to looking at all your video they are always educational that template was creative.
Thanks Hen
by the way your rig is looking great I love it
Thank you sir.
Another question answered.
Just want to make sure before I drill my hole.
You still run 1/2” into tank for down stream line correct?
The tube and filter inside the tank is 1/2 inch yes. But you know the tube hose that connects to the downstream injector isn't. So you gotta get a reducer barb to be able to connect that hose.
Yessir. Thanks.
Nice tip with the template, what I do is I put a container inside the tank and hold its opening against the surface I’m going to drill so when I’m done all the shavings are trapped in that container
Yea thats a great way to catch the shavings too. Thanks for sharing.
Are they both the same size? 1/2 bulkhead and pvc for the 1/4 downstream?
Are those both all 1/2” pvc pipes and parts?
They're all 1/2 inch. Just on the top I have a 1/2 to an adapter to fit the downstream hose
Cliff, on your SH tank, you showed a dropstick for the softwash, and one for your downstream. Do you use surfactant when you downstream, if so how do you draw from 2 tanks when downstreaming? Thanks.
Just add some in the sh tank. And the smaller tank for surfactant is for the 12v system if I want a little more surfactant say like for doing roofs
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash what about if you post treat concrete, do you just put it down with surfactant in your sh since you have it in the tank?
Thank you for the video PF! I have a question. While your pumps are on how do you allow for the vacuum it causes? Leave lid off or you have a vent drilled on the top somewhere?
It doesn't cause no vacuum. The pumps are filled with liquid. The suction doesn't work for air only liquid.
Mr.Cliff ? Do you add slo mo to sh tank to ds? If so doesn't that make pool cage harder to rinse. Trying to work this out in my head😂 Thanks
Yes I add some in there to downstream with. No a ton of it though So I can avoid rinsing for long periods of time.
@PinkFlamingoPowerWash thank you sir 🙏 best in your new endeavor
how much do you charge per square foot for paver restoration?
I only do paver sealing not restoration. That's real big money there
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash so you don't strip sealant off when you do paver jobs?
@@gabesee387 if it's needed
I need help!!!! Can I use a 12 gallon per minute gun on a 4 gallon per minute machine, & is there a benefit in using a higher gpm gun ? Reason I'm asking my 4gpm machine & gun that came with it won't downstream with over 100 feet of hose 100 feet is max for me to get it to downstream
You can use any pressure washing gun. Most of the gun i see are listed at 12gpm max so it's okay to be used for 4gpm
@PinkFlamingoPowerWash would it make me able to use 150 foot of hose , or is there a downstream injector I need to buy , a up graded 1 or something? Not really happy about only getting 100 feet my rig is on a trailer
@TROUBLE8088 guns doesn't affect downstream
@@PinkFlamingoPowerWash thanx , now I got to figure out why my BRAND NEW machine won't pull over 100 feet
@PinkFlamingoPowerWash sorry man I be thinking of questions after the fact , what gun you use and what brand or model Jrod u use?
Cant please em all bro.Keep up the good work! So you push a hose through the PVC drop tube after your done right..just like the first one you had?
No hose
Any chance you could link the filter part I can't seem to find it. I believe you said home depot has it
