You can purchase a high pressure ball valve, this little tool saves you from needing to hold the trigger and walking from the machine to where ever you need to go, run your hose with this on the end open valve, Turn garden hose on start pressure washer, walk back to wherr you dropped the ball valve attached to the end of hose, attach your gun or surface cleaner whatever your using and open ball valve, easy peasy, And if client comes to chat with you simple turn off ball valve detach from your gun/surface cleaner whatever, And open ball valve, Quick and easy and will save your pump, You can also use it to spray by adjusting ball valve leaver.

Out of all the videos I have been watching in my research for beginners start up, I must say this has been the most informative and transparent. Thank for you sincerity and humbleness!

Subscribed after watching this video was a good refresher. thank you for posting this!

You should look into the Smart Bypass, it's build here in the Charlotte area. Once you use that you will never go back, it's about a $600 investment but well worth it. Also I would look into Davis Shooter tips and the different nozzle connectors, 2, 3 or 4 ports on it. I personally run a 2 and on that I have an M5 Twist and a Davis Shooter Tip for height and fan spray. With both I can hit over 3 stories with a 5.5 GPM direct drive unit with an external unloader. Since my lawn biz is on the trailer I mounted everything inside a 6.5 foot bed of my RAM, it's my daily driver also but I put 2 hose reels the PW and the Smart Bypass with all the other equipment and it's all covered with a fit bed cover, nobody is the wiser. You posted a great video my man, keep it going for the newbies. I would post a picture of my rig but I'm RU-vid ignorant and don't know how.

Great informative video!! Thank you.

Valuable, helpful information.

Good info. I spent around $4300 getting started but I bought all new equipment so other peoples start up expenses can be much lower by buying used equipment. If that sounds like a lot just keep in mind I made all of that back in 2 months of starting up which is what is so good about this industry.

Great info! Getting ready to start next week. I really appreciate u covering Safety. What do u suggest for wand of soft wash when ur on a budget?

I wish you had a link to everything that you are saying that we need that you said thanks

Solid info. Do you have a 4 gallon machine you reccomend?

With the belt or gear driven pump, how do you run your overflow tank? Are you just getting more power from it being belt/gear driven or is that belt also running something else at the same time? Sorry I know it sounds like a silly question. I've just never seen one of these setups up close. I have seen the belt driven pressure washers obviously.

You mentioned an external unloader, do you know of any direct drive machines that use an external unloader?

Serious question, what do you do if your customer runs on well water? How do I keep my 200 gallon tank full if their water supply is shit?

I thought you can only get a very low concentration of Sh using a down stream injector. Again I’m a beginner so please correct me.

How has your buffer tank been working with a direct drive pressure washer? Been thinking of installing a gravity-fed buffer tank to my direct drive unit. Is it worth it? Thank you!!

How does the DSI work to reduce the PSI?

Hey people, I’m in nsw Australia. I’ve been doing my first few jobs and I’ve been asked a few times already if I clean roofs. I’ve been watching and learning on RU-vid for a while now but I can’t see much information about what people are doing in a situation where your sh from the roof ( when rinsing or surface cleaning ) the run of is going down your gutters into the garden or running to the road and then down the drain. Are you new guys bagging ? Or pumping the sh back into the garden ? What’s the norm?
