Hi, first of all, we thank you for the information you give through your videos 👏🏼🙏🏼. I wanted to ask you a question, I have two GX 270 pressure machines and I would like to increase the gpm! What a treat, can you recommend that I work with Gx 270 to increase the highest gpm. I appreciate your help.
"...Compresses the water"? You don't know what you're talking about. Liquids cannot be compressed except for just a tiny, unnoticeable bit with some exceptionally strong equipment!
I have a new home owner model that is 3000psi 2.5gpm and the second time i used it it pressurized for 10 seconds then stopped. The motor still runs and i made sure never to let it run more than a few seconds without pulling the trigger to keep the pump cool. Any ideas why the pump is not coming on? I already checked the unloader valve and it is not stuck. I am at a loss.
I have a brand new PA gun that the wand fitting is cracked , it looks like the fitting pipe would unthread but I am not sure and if I could get a replacement part .You didn't show how you removed the pie fittings , I feel like it is going to break
thanks mate, I hope I'm not annoying you with all my questions, I'm trying to start my own business and as you know there's only info out of the US but NZ conditions are a little different so your knowledge is invaluable.@@WashRite
usually there is a pipe that runs up the side of the tank and goes into the top of the tank, this is the water fill pipe from the roof, half way up the pipe on the side of the tank there is usually a T joint with a cap on it, you just undo the cap and leave this off while you clean and for a good 3 to 5 rain events after cleaning this will dump all contaminated water on the ground as the caps off, if we turn up and the plumber who installed the tank is brain dead and did not install the T joint we will install one while were there for this reason @@benjaminbutler3487
Hey man thanks for the video, quick question is it cheaper to do this whole build yourself? Or if I bought a prebuilt already assembled with the gx390 is it similar in price. How much am I really saving if I decide to build my own?
@@WashRite okay, this is my first build I’ve settled on a gx390 and the comet you have I can order it right now. I just need to know what extra pieces do I have to buy to complete the build and to make sure I can hook up to my buffer tank. I used to work for a detailing company and I’m right in the middle of creating my own.
@@devinthompson1534 you will need an inline water filter to put between the buffer tank and pump, also need an unloader valve, as well as fittings like quick connects to connect hoses to the pump on the pressure side.
Picked up an old washer after my new brushless monster died in like 40 minutes... defeated the purpose of low maintenance lol. Started looking for pump/chassis as a priority- hoping to find one that didn't run, could swap motor out if needed, still gets me way under cost of new. So for $150 got an older Italian HyPro with a Honda G400 (old 11hp flathead) built in gear reduction (not sure what the reduction is, I'm guessing 2:1 based on pump rpm/motor rpm) 4.7gpm 1800psi. Lower pressure but great volume (which frankly for most of what I do, this is a better setup, especially since I'd like to run a small wet media blaster sometimes.) My question is, can I bring down the orifice sizes some to get more pressure and sacrifice some flow? The thing is beefy, I don't imagine it'd be a problem as long as the motor can chug through. Have you ever used a small diesel on a pressure washer? Too much noise/harmonics? Because a belt drive on a small diesel may actually work really well. The small 6hp 196 diesels probably make a lot more torque under load, could run only a slight underdrive on the pump side. Would running it at slightly more rpm increase pressure at all? Or just flow? Pressure being a result of flow through certain passage/orifice sizes?
Thanks, very informative for me. I have a small 2700 psi pressure washer. After a long period of time i go to use it & water will not come thru the pump. Do i need another head?
Very nice setup. Few questions. First is the battery placement, could the battery be mounted under the tray somewhere? Second is regarding the chemical injector remote bypass. What do you do when you remotely switch to water but the ball valve on the pump unloader bypass is set to chemical.? Will the Chem tank not fill up with water? And I assume this system only works with batch mixing? Is there any way you could run the stainless steel pump with a proportioner setup? The problem I see is the pump bypass. And regarding the floodlights, will are the floodlights connected to the chemical remote bypass as an indicator?
Yep we have mounted the battery under the deck on a few other of these trucks, The main reason it is where it is because this truck has a full LED flood light setup for night work that hooks on to this battery and the ease of set up and pack away was the only reason it is there. In regards to the remote switch we dont do anything as the unloader is before the valve and chem injector so it only bypasses water back to the main buffer tank. Regards Troy
Nice. That’s smart with the petrol, I have to use 2 different pumps every time I fill up 😂 I’ve got the same set up from Spray away. It’s a game changer. So good.
Very nice setup mate👍 and thank you for sharing your setup. The LDV here in Australia they have a very high cab what model LDV you have thank you Nathan
That one is a V80, pretty sure they dont make them anymore we got the last 2 from what I was told. I think to buy them new now you have to buy the Deliver 9 model.
u are corect.... any one wourth a damm will add trucks and crew i just wonder who was the guru asking for images ? some snake oil sales mans we have now
Hey mate once you have set up the new softwash pump can you please do a video I am interested in the setup. I have been thinking of trying something different. I like the sound of the setup you are putting together it sounds like it’s a lot easier than the setup out there other people are using. I run a hawk pump and It has never let me down yet. Thank you Nathan
Yes we have them here in Australia 🇦🇺 if it’s a Automatic please be aware . I have a mate that has the LDV VAN and has had a lot of issues with the Automatic. Just thought I would let you know.
so far we have about 12 or 13 in our fleet and so far no issues. for the price we get them we use them for 4 or 5 years and rotate them out. The only issue we have found is they are cheaply made and everything is plastic on them
Yes they are cheaply made but they are good for what we use them for. I have my Ute all setup it works well but I have been looking into the LDV’s what I can see how you setup the LDV looks great. Can’t wait until you do another video on the complete build. Thank you Nathan
cheers, I want to make 1 video every two weeks for the rest of the year. Thinking about a series about how we made our first million revenue in one year, then 5 and then 10, 15 20 and so on. To show behind the scenes on scaling a service based business.
Awesome mate I will be very interested to see the videos. I would love to make a million dollars in my business. I am also a pressure cleaning local business owner as well I started in 2016.
Very cool new set up Troy. Nice work man! Just a quick question - how many metres of hose can you get on the Hulena hose reels? They are epic and I may need to invest in one! I’m looking forward to the next video. Cheers.
Do you guys ever fill the reduction box with gear oil before mounting it to the engine and notice that it slowly leaks oil out of the spot where the engine shaft will insert??? ... I've had two reduction boxes (Both Brand New and Exactly the same type as you have in this video) and BOTH have begun leaking oil. Does it seal better once the engine is mounted to the reduction box? This is really freaking me out.
no never, that would tell me the cap on the inside has been pushed in, this can happen if you jam the box onto the shaft to hard, but never happened to us , well not yet
Hey bro, im actually in the process of starting my own small water blasting business and I was wondering if I can come down to your Hamilton office and grab a few tips???
Hi Troy its fantastic to see how your business has grown in such a short time 👌 I'm looking to get some advice as I'm a newbie in the industry with previous experience working for other companies I'm looking at the BAR 3000/21LPM $3600 machine what's your opinion on this machine and do you have any other recommendations keep up the good 👍 Michael.
Hey was wondering does this working on wood houses, and is there a soap you would recommend buying?? Preferably ingredients from a mitre10 or new world, Im from Opotiki bro and just come back to the house looking mouldy and dirty everywhere.(cousins still running they're business from they're car that's why lol) hoping to revive this place this year though, hoping to hear back.. love the video bro 👍
Like most car parts are made in china, rebranded, sold at marked up prices. I'll go with the copy engines. Full warranty and cheap parts. Cost of life is way cheaper than paying more for a brand name in this case. Honda sold off it's small engine business
I've used them all, spend the money and buy a Honda. I use Honda motors just about everyday. I have been down the Chinese rabbit hole and it didn't work out. If your a homeowner that has countless time, have at it. If your a business owner that customers rely on, terrible idea.
Would this setup work if you wanted the pump set up using a reduction box in opposite configuration with the same pump but with the pumps shaft on the left side instead of the right like the one u have here?
Hey Troy need a new pump on my gx390 and being gear drive with an internal unloaded I’d like to upgrade to at least a reduction gear driven 5gpm pump and external unloaded. would you be able to point me in the right direction to buying the correct unloaders and reduction boxes ?
these videos are really informative man. i really appreciate the help. im a new aussie buisness and i watch all of your videos for help and tips. thank you.
