is 5/8 hose what you'd recommend or have you fooled around with 3/4

anyone know how long these things last running pure SH

What do u think total $ u have in this, with out hose real?

Would u say this is a better option than a 12v 7gpm system for roof washing.

Have you had a chance to try it out on a 3/4” proportioned set up. Using 3/4” instead of 1” hoses etc?

Did you have any issues priming the waterline I have a friend running into issues any ideas?

I got all mine set up. Every thing ia great besides after runnin it for a few hours today, the plastic drain plug on bottom of pump blew out. Have you had this issue and how can i eliminate this?

Do you think this would work with all 1/2 inch plumbing. Then a half inch hose real and half inch soft wash hose?

What pump?

Hi,where did u get your stand for the proportioner block mount or did you DIY it ?

Be Careful! I was intrigued so I bought and set up the Harbor Freight system to compliment my 12 volt, 7 Gpm and my AR45. I did d a roof job using a 5% SH mix. I had one of my guys turn the pump off as I came down the ladder. A minute later as I stood next to the pump, the outlet 1/2” threaded fitting blew completely off showering us in roof wash mix. The threads on the fitting were stripped away from the internal pressure. Judging by the blackish water remaining in the pump, the centrifical pumps aluminum housing reacted with the SH. I’m putting a pressure valve on it set for 60psi and will be more aware of leaving a hot mix in the pump. Besides that, great little pump😅.

Best option to take with this Predator gas pump system is to buy two of them, and buy the two year extended warranty. That way 1. You’ll have one on hand that you can swap relatively quick when you’re on a job, minimizing downtime. 2. When one does fail (pump leak, diaphragm failure, no pressure, won’t keep running, power loss, etc.), take it back to Harbor Freight and they’ll fix or replace it. 3. Periodically run a dechlorinator through the pump to help extend its service life. Those pumps *aren’t designed* to hold up to the level of chemicals they’ll be exposed to during soft washing so the warranty will come in handy.

I have heard people saying the pump has been blowing up. Heard someone say it had something to do with hot bleach mixes and leaving your hand off the gun for a few mins at most. Have you seen this problem and do you have a solution?

Can someone explain the benefit of the downstream injector bypass on a softwash system? I'm not understanding.

That 3/4 flexzilla hose is it (2) 100ft sections you connect together or (1) 200ft?

Were those first 2 years going through your metering system? Or were you bypassing that as well as the reel?

how is it runing when you're off the trigger? I would think a lot of pressure would build up and bust the seals overtime.

What about the pump dead heading? Or did you come up with a bypass?

"it's works good, meh, it's alright" ... Dude don't be so humble.. That things is great!

Did you happen to test to see if you get much better performance bypassing the hose reel so going from 1 inch right to the 5/8 hose. I’m going to be building a new softwash system and contemplating getting a 1 inch manifold hose reel, but they are a lot more costly. Like 1200 vs 800 just for a 1” SS manifold

how hot can you get the mix ?

how will the pump hold up with SH

How long have you been running this system for? Still running good? I just ordered everything to get mine started

the 1" bleach seems smaller.

Thxs! Can I get them through you?

Are those 1” metering and check valves then! Or are they 3/4” to 1” barbs.

I have an older 12v Fatboy bandit setup with 1/2 inch hose and 1/2 inch proportioner. How do you think it would work with this pump. I rarely use it now but always have trouble keeping 12v's working.

So does the 5/8 hose lower the flow, but up the psi?

I don’t get a consistent stream of water

Have you tried a 3way ball valve instead of proportion valve ??

I saw you made this video about five months ago. Just checking on how the pump is holding up. Have you put a muffler on that pump or do you plan to?

Was that just straight water? If not how were you able to just freely spray on the grass without risking killing it??

What happens when you take your hand off the trigger? Where is the water going?

I know this is a older video but how long will it run on a tank of gas. And do you think the2inch would workbetter

So batch mixing wouldnt be good for this setup because the water drains so fast?

Great video brother. One thing that i dont understand is that since the gpm is so high even with a 50 gallon tank itd clear it in about 5 minutes. So would i have to speed spray a roof in less than 5 minutes or can i restrict the water flow to slow it down. Also, would this even be worth it with anything less than 50 gallons since itd drain it so fast? I want to find something i can use with batch mixing in a 25 gallon tank but i think this woild be way too powerful lol. Thank you for your time and i appreciate you 💪

McMaster Carr. You can get hose tips and nozzles to fit the ball valve and keep the most flow. I used one of these pumps on a little homemade hydro seed rig and it was phenomenal! Now I want to duplicate your softwash setup but with all pvc fittings (manifold too) and no size restrictions. Nice work my man!

Chemical tip

It needs bigger tips us 1540 bet you get more volume

How much was the blend manifold from wash depo

Hi,i try to set up the pump but how you prime de sistem ?

How long can you be off the trigger before it starts giving issues? Is there anyway to have unloader or anything

I need one I’m in Florida and been wanting a gas powered I need more flow then 12v pump

Why bypassing the hose reel? Most don't do it. Can you do it with the hose reel and share the results?

Try a jrod take that gun off pos for a soft wash gun. Tone it in with a jrod I bet you get better results

Great video tysm ,my only concern is ,about the pump is it going to be ok with bleach running thru it?

Get a new check valve for your bleach

This is a newbie question. You make no mention of it, but I see you have a big water tank. I guess this means you have to use a big water tank? And if so, what's the minimum size you would recommend

Is it able to recirculate or does it not matter when you are not on the trigger?

i bought a 12v bleach pump. i only used it once and it locked up on me.
