@@brianlucas3187 the setup in this video I no longer have since it was over 3yrs ago. This link is the current setup I’m running. I also run a bigger surface cleaner in another video.

@@brianlucas3187 I’m using a hotbox add on. The machines I’m using are two pressure pro igx800 cold water skid units paired with a hotbox for each machine.
Hi there. are you still using this mondo 49"? What have been your thoughts with it? How many GPM you running with it? I have the mini mondo (31") and it's good, but looking to see if the big daddy would be even better.
@@blacklabpowerwashllc I’m no longer using the mondo 49”. I sold it the middle of last year and now run a lil hippo 62”. In this video I was only running 8gpm. If you went to run it more efficiently, you definitely need higher gpm to do so but I ran it with 8gpm & 10gpm for over 3yrs.
@@readykleenpowerwashing I currently have the mini mondo. I see you’ve used that too. Do you feel the big mondo is better / more efficient for driveway cleanings?
@@blacklabpowerwashllc no it’s not more efficient for driveway cleanings. The mini mondo is as long as you have the proper gpm to run it. The mondo 49” is for big Commerical flatwork.
There are three different lines that go on the fuel pump. One line is a (pulse) or vacuum source to operate the pump. In turn the vacuum pulls fuel from the fuel tank as the motor creates vacuum to operate. The last line is the pump output line that takes the fuel and sends it to the carburetor.
Thanks for the response! (= do you use 1" ID hose for all your 5.5 gpm pumps? I use 1/2 " ID suction hose with 5/8 flexilla. Just trying to maximize output and figure out what the best combination is.
@@mikluvin4633 no. My current 12v system uses 1/2” suction, 1/2” discharge with 350ft of 1/2” flexzilla hose. I get 38ft horizontal distance. If you want better performance from a 5.5gpm 12v system, you’ll need to go 3/4” everything with 5/8” hose for the reel.
Thank you for breaking down each part of the plumbing. That's what every single person that searches for these videos is trying to see and almost no one does it so bravo my brotha!
No. because I had 22 of these locations, we agreed in a flat set rate price. Some locations were bigger and some were smaller so it made up for the difference.
Sorry I figured after 6 min people’s attention span was maxed out. Next time I’ll do that. The main thing I was trying to show was the capabilities of the groundforce with good gpm how quctyiu can get a driveway done.
@@dylanthornsberry8778 because that’s my preference. Pretreating kills organic growth and loosens everything up to make it quicker to clean. Post treating can be too strong for some customers leaving behind a stronger SH smell. Worst case I may have to spot treat and I’ll do that with a pump sprayer.
Man I been struggling with my metering valve to work. I have a 1" metering and check valve bit it won't work unless I pinch off the water supply at my tote. I'm thinking my bleach line and water supply line have to be the same lenght.??
No. If you cut off your water supply and the bleach works then that must mean you have an air leak somewhere. The water line must be sucking air somewhere. If you’re using non collapsible hose like tiger flex hose, make sure to heat the hose before clamping it down. The coils in the hose may prevent a good seal.
Hello, Learning, thanks for the video! It's like Softwash University, Plumbing 101, lol.. But seriously, I've got a single 100-gallon tank in this small trailer where my pressure washer is installed. I'm thinking of repurposing it for a Softwash system until my business picks up. Right now, I've got a big job that I can't turn down. Back to the lesson, can I hook up a pump direct like that to the tank, mixing the SH around 20% with 80% water with surfactant, and use it for roof and building wash?
Yes you can use the 100 gallon tank and batch mix whatever you want to clean. Since your batch mixing, you’d run the bypass hose back to the tank and you’ll be able to stay off the trigger for a long time without having to worry about overheating the pump.
Thank you for replying, sir. It makes me feel more confident about this matter. By doing so, the bypass will keep the engine running and put the chemicals back into the tank. After every job, do you run clean water through the pump?
@@HandyHoneyBunnyLLC I usually do run water after the job to clear out my hose but in your case you’d have to come up with a dual valve to switch between pulling your batch mix and pulling clean water. Because you’re batch mixing, there is no clean water per se. you only have your batch mix tank to spray from.

They both have their purpose. 12v is good for pretreating and post treating. It’s also my go to for roofs because you can apply a light coat without runoff. Very controllable. The P40 is good for bigger jobs such as house washing and Commerical applications where volume is necessary as well as reach.
Unfortunately I don’t. The give valve is my main valve all the time. The only time I use the Hudson valve is when I need to double fill my tank. This is why I don’t even have a hose reel going to it.
The most simple answer to that is as big as you can fit or haul. Everything depends on location and water flow around your area. Also Commerical work if there’s no water access, having a big tank will slow you to do work.
I have a 48” running on 8gpm. It does fine, but a lot of the stuff we do is pretty dirty, so I’m looking into at least a 10 gpm with heat. 12 gpm would fit the rule of 4” per gpm, but I haven’t seen a 12 gpm unit with heat yet.
@@batteryboy4529 regardless of what chemical injector someone suggest, they’re still going to perform basically the same based on GPM. Downstreaming does work and effective for house washing of vinyl and hardy plank siding. Brick, stucco or flagstone would require a hotter mix to clean.
@@readykleenpowerwashing understood. I have two 8gpm right now. I just ordered a 10gpm 15 minutes ago. Was nervous that I wouldn’t be able to downstream at all with it. I have an air diaphragm pump so if I need a stronger mix I will just use that. We normally use that already to pretreat really dirt areas, stucco, brick, roofs, etc.
Looks so good. But I never understand why have so many reels? We have one water supply reel to our pump and one high pressure reel. We’ll get a softwash reel soon but that’s still only half the number you have!
One reel is a water reel to fill my tank. I don’t have a water reel that goes to the pump because my machine consumes more water than a regular outlet can put out. The tank feeds the machine instead of a water hose going directly to the pump. I have multiple systems on my trailer and that’s the reason why I have multiple reels. - Water fill ( 1 reel for fill hose) - 2 pressure washers - (2 hose reels) - 12v softwashing system (1 hose reel) - Comet P40 gas softwashing system ( 1 hose reel) - 300ft of 1/2” hose (1 hose reel)
This trailer is a transformer. Niice, I'm ready for a trailer and reels so bad, my hands are tore up. The biggest help you've given was the damn check valve, man it's a lot better. Getting rid of the ball and spring.
Some of these large SC's got me worried but yours doesn't look like it's lacking any power. I know they sell single 20 gpm+ pumps but I don't know if you can run that much through a single burner, which would explain why everyone goes with dual pump setups.
You would have to get a custom hotbox made to handle 20gpm with one single burner. It’s not practical and would be very large. It would have to be in the neighborhood of heating 1.5 million BTUs. Easier to simease and use a separate hotbox for each unit.
The ball park is what you’re comfortable cleaning at. There is no specific number to charge in this industry. One may be able to charge more than another due to experience and equipment.
@@readykleenpowerwashing very true. The owner/operator of a recently opened Chick-fil-A wants me to bid a job for him. Some he wants weekly and some is bi-weekly. I'm trying to make it affordable for him BUT I want to make a good profit as well. I'm sure you understand.
@@shaferspressurewashing8911 completely understand but the only person that’s going to know what you need to make for a profit margin is you based on what expenses you have.
Really putting out the volume i went with the AR 45 finishing plumbing it up question on ypur discharge line pump to reel connections u running barb connection or u have it threaded in? U ever experience any blow offs thanks love the rig
I have barbed connections. I’ve had the hose blown off the discharge port due to a loose hose clamp. I also avoid staying off the trigger as much as possible to avoid too much buildup even though I’m running 25ft bypass hose.
@@thepolacoxxl if you’re talking about leaving strips … No. not all concrete can be done with just one pass. Sometimes it’s required to go over it a second time due to the amount of dirtiness.
