How to Make a Softwash Bucket! Every Step and Every Part Needed 

✅ SOFTWASH TV PRO ✅ softwashtv.passion.io ✅ 1 on 1 coaching call with Kyle Maguire ✅ calendly.com/kylemaguire/

Bro, I am so thankful for you. Im a college student with a sedan, and I grew up pressure washing. As someone who is financially independent trying to pay my way through college and provide the best service to my custermers, this is a game changer. I have avoided some jobs because I do not have the adequate softwash setup ( I have been using a backpack pump sprayer), but this changes most things and enables me to provide excellent service to the client. I want to honor God with my work, so I never want to take on a job I wont be able to do my best in. God bless

The fact that you took the time to show this free tip speaks volumes. I like to move my buckets around strapped to a dolly, and it gives me a place to wrap up my hose

Great tutorial, Kyle! Cut a 6 inch section of pool noodle and cut a lengthwise slit in the noodle and place over the bucket handle to relieve hand strain while holding a 50 pound bucket.

👍One of the very few credible voices in this very sketchy industry.

Great video. Thanks Kyle And thanks for being upfront

True. I added a switch and it makes it so much easier

Thanks for the video Kyle. I had everything I needed to make the bucket but the battery adapter which I just ordered from Amazon. I didn’t even think about doing this. It will now make it easier to post treat concrete and other things. You’re the Boss when it come to educating.

This bucket setup changed my game! Thanks for the vid & info!!

Thanks friend. I'm Nathan from Ireland and want to start this business here. Very grateful. God bless

Bro, I just made this and it works amazing! Thank you so much for the information and the tips!

Solid! I’d bevel cut on cut the hose in the bucket at an angle so it doesn’t sit flush to the bottom and cause a vacuum.

Ok so we had a bunch of old stuff and decided to build a dolly cart with a 15gallon tank. I have an absolutely huge deck nest spring and a resort in Geneva this fall. Fill it walk and spray. Drop it surface clean and repeat. Didn't want the hassle of carrying it. I did add a fuse to protect it since it's water and electricity. And I've got a ton of old 5gallon jugs that I'm going to convert likewise for the dolly as well. All I needed was a used piece of steel to bolt the hardware to and I'm golden. Thanks for the idea!

I had a similar set up with a 15 gallon barrel, a walmart marine deep cycle, and a 60 psi-5gpm seaflo, all mounted on a horrible freight hand truck. when full i wheeled it out of the van, when empty, lifted it out. had an additional identical set up with a chemical resist pump. perfect (for me) set up! BTW....your vids are great, thanks :)

Great idea. Thanks Kyle.

Cut a V notch at the end of the clear hose. It helps not to suck itself to the bottom and not pull Chem

Mannn very simple!!!!!! I'm gonna use this. I can use this build for when I pretreat carpet!! Thanks alot

Beautiful!

Great video Kyle! Next project definitely

Very cool! One easy and cheap upgrade I'd add is a wireless relay with a keyfob remote between the battery and pump, or an inline switch on the + lead.

Great video Kyle.. You are doing a great job.. I think maybe you should make your followers aware of what chemistry they are using vs. which hoses are used.. chemical resistant or standard hoses.. I once experienced using strong corrosive chemistry in a pump up sprayer with regular hoses, it burst after a few minutes, imagine the rest for yourself. Keep up the good work, Greetings from Denmark

Thanks for the info. Great video!

Just starting up and your videos are kick a$$ thanks for the help!🇺🇲🍻

Bro, love the content being following for years. Using a Dewalt 4 gallon 20volt backpack sprayer. $225. Cleaning everything that needs 3-6% +. Given I didn’t need the battery lol

AWESOME VIDEO!!!! GENIUS!!!

Me gustan tus videos siempre son great y tus consejos gracias

Awesome going to try it out 😁

Another great video

Another great video man

Good tip Kyle

Thank You very much!👍👍🙏💯✌️

Thanks for the video, definitely worthwhile. Can you give more detals about the battery/adaptor?

This helps so much, looking to spray wood stripper for my fence staining business. Been using an xjet but the breaks between spraying overheat the machine too much

awesome!

Some XT60 connectors between the battery & pump make it easy to swap either out & still be nice and clean looking

Thanks so much for this video.......pump sprayer has been retired now!!!

thanks!

I recently built a setup just like this for paver sealing but put heat shrink over my splices, I think the twist terminals are the way to go.

Awesome 👌 🇦🇺

Always run a full bucket of clean water to keep you pump alive longer great video

Great video. Thanks Kyle for being upfront

SWEET BRO

Hey Kyle what’s up great instructional video. Just curious what was you main reason to shut down your store, not the building trailers part but the chems and soaps?

I really love this idea! Gonna need to make a few of these thank mate. How long do these tend to last I am not worried about the pump I mean the mounting?

roof pump in a jam. nice

This is absolute gold!!! I am just starting and have limited funds like everyone else starting out, Curious if this is more for flat surface or would there be a different gun or tip that would allow me to do a house clean with this setup? I do know I can down stream or xjet for vinyl siding but majority of the house I will be targeting are brick or stucco, and would like this for the hotter mixes need for them!!! TIA!!

I read where on the water transfer pump it could burn up if you use anything over 12v, I have milwaukee 18v batteries... should I worry about this destroying the setup?! Thanks and looking forward to building about 4 of these buckets, starting my company now and going to pay for your instruction video!!

Thanks Kyle ,what size tip is it or color? Thanks again

If you’re using a 12v battery you don’t need to change anything. If however you are using an 18v or 20v you need to install a battery reducer in between the pump and battery. I’ve burnt up a pump before finding this out. #washon

Thank you. How high does that spray?

I have a question that doesn’t really apply to this video, but I was wondering if you are getting ready to get into the business what kind of setup would you recommend? Your input would be greatly appreciated.

Not in the business but I made a bucket set up using: Harbor Freight/Drummond 1/10hp transfer pump. Lowe's 90 degree garden hose connector. Lowe's 120v 15a cut off switch. Harbor freight garden hose cut down to 6 foot. Harbor freight spray nozzle. I use it for everything. Soft washing roof, siding, fencing. Spraying liquid fertilizer. Spraying insecticide.

I’m going to start my PW business soon. I’ll need lots of assistance 👍 looking into your course

Question I have a 4gpm machine and xjet what percentage are you getting outtta straight 12.5% with the beige proportior

Can i use this for sealing pavers? Water based solution

Does that solo wand get caked up if your using sealer was just wondering 🤔 and could you attach a copper wand like the ones that come with the sealer steel pumps cans ok 👍

I was just wondering, what gives the pump the signal to actually pump? Is there any button on the Sprayer or how does it work? Thanks in advance

What voltage is your pump? I have Makita 18v battery’s .. are you running 12v battery’s? With a 12v pump?

If i mounted this pump on a 15 gallon tank and ran 250ft of hose, would it push the liquid?

How far does this spray? I need to spray cleaner on big sections of roof/houses from a fixed point sometimes. It helps to have a powerful stream but i hate lugging around a car battery

Is their a shopping list for all the parts in written form?

When washing a a wooden deck or porch, do you use straight water, soap amd water, or a chemical? If I'm you use a chemical, what chemical to use amd ratio? Thanks

Bleach alright to run through it and flush pump after each use ?

What if you don't have Dewalt battery? Any recommendations?

Most of the homes in my area are less that 4000 sqft, what size solution tank would you recommend for a 50/50 6% batch mix? thx

Anyone know if you can run gutter butter or similar chem through this pump?

is there a link where i can get the parts to make that pump

How long does the battery last per charge on this system?

would you happen to have Amazon links for all this stuff?

The lid that you used on your bucket. I assume you seal the bucket. Is it a press down style or a screw on style. Just wondering how you refill it.

Where did you get the pump?

Could you use wood stain in it?

Curious why air compressor hose? I’m considering getting into this game and your videos, fire me, are the most informative and without all the fluff BS subbed off the other guys have. Cheers, brother!

Am in Kenya and yiu have mentored me to start a powerwashing business..You really educate me though your channel...I need to buy a turbo nozzle to use with my 3450 psi machine..how can you help buy from stores in US and send to me.

How far will it spray?

Is that a 12v pump? Are your Dewalt batteries also 12v?

Where can I get get the pump from

I enjoy your videos. I'm interested in starting a pressure washing company but I'm afraid to pull the trigger on whether to finance or buy it cash

Just started my pressure washing business, your videos are great! Although, why not use a downstream injector instead of this softwash bucket? also I have a 4gpm 4.2kpsi machine. Do you have any downstream injectors I should use?

I think the only thing you left out is the voltage/amp of the pump and battery...

How much money 💰 is involved???? Great work 😊

Thanks!!

Thanks for keeping us informed, much appreciated. Real quick, will that rechargeable battery adequately power a 5 gpm, 60 psi pump? Or will a marine battery be required?

Do you do onsite training if i came to you ?

does the pump have to be a chemical pump or i can use the one your showing

How do you get the water pump to turn off and on? when I hook mine up to battery, it just pumps and pumps. Yours seems to start and stop the pump when you pull the trigger

Is there any problems using a 20v battery on a 12 volt pump?

Hey mate are you putting out any more content. Are you busy washing.

How many bars??

What is the tip you recommend for this sprayer?

What kind of distance can you reach with a stream tip?

Get a screw on lid at Lowes and use a longer hose so you dont need to hold the bucket.

dont have a heat gun or blowdrier, use a bucket of hot water to dip in

Do you charge sales tax per job?

Do you sell these buckets? It would take me forever to figure out how to do this

Yo Kyle I’m having troubling logging into Softwash tv pro

Kyle you also need a switch

Add a shut off switch ;)

I know this maybe a stupid question, but I’m pretty sure that is 12v pump. Do I have to have 12v batteries or can I use my Milwaukee. 18v batteries. Don’t beat me up too bad, good video

Can you put the link to the supplies in the description
