16 gallons per minute pressure washer!!

Great job guys! Super impressive!

[@superblastpressurewashing.7256]

Cool stuff guys, I have the same set up!! get after it.

[@MEGANODE]

I’m interested in doing a similar Siamese setup. If you still have this setup how does it perform with an x-jet or m5 twist? I’m getting a lot of taller building and can reach 3 stories with just my 1 8GPM machine.

[@KevinLavorgna]

Sorry for the late reply man, we actually never brought this setup out on a job site to test it. We use an Xjet only for chemical applications and i have never used an M5 Twist to be honest. 3 stories with an 8gpm is accurate. That’s about the distance we shoot too.. wind depending hahah. We have a 30’ bucket truck we use if we have to do a building roughly 6 stories tall.

[@MEGANODE]

@ all good man I know how it is. My thought was if I can get another story of reach or so out of adding even another 4gpm machine or even going with an entire other 8gpm machine. I’m going to do that instead of other means. I want to be able to wash 5 stories from the ground and I’m super close because I washed a 4 story building a week or two ago from the ground with the 8gpm machine and X-Jet only. If you get another opportunity of testing another system like this make a video of it bro. I subscribed to your channel here.

[@RNPCleaning]

did you figure out what you were saying at the end of the video with the pumps cutting off? Trying to figure the problem out on my end as well

[@KevinLavorgna]

Sorry for the slow reply, i don’t get updates on comments for some reason.. We had an issue where our ignition cable would wiggle loose along with other electrical gremlins and kill the power to the machine after a few minutes.

time is money i am still setting up , thanks for sharing

[@KevinLavorgna]

Get out there many! Lot of work to go around. Cheers to you

[@pavermakeover]

Curious how many hours you have on the 670 pred motors? Have you had any major problems or had to make any mods to motor to make it dependable? I have one in the shop I am fixing to put on a skid with a 8gpm comet pump.

[@KevinLavorgna]

Roughly 2000 hours, the only issue we have had with it was the wiring was kind of funky and the key stopped working when turning it. Otherwise, the machines are great

[@MrObsvenchilde]

I'd probably value a smaller surface cleaner just so I could walk faster. Too slow of walking would burn my brain cells after a while.

[@AmericasFavoriteLawnBoy]

Awesome thx for sharing

[@jimmywarren6685]

That was clean concrete...if it is dirty, it won't go that quickly!

[@KevinLavorgna]

No lie there! Hahah we just test equipment in the parking lot across the street

[@seattleprowash5464]

how many GPM do you typically use for power washing now in 2024?

[@KevinLavorgna]

We use a 9gpm and 8gpm machines. But the bucket truck setup we have has a small 5gpm but it rips with the surface cleaner

[@DrivenByLuckGaming]

16… all I can say is wow. You’ll do some good stuff in the future

[@KevinLavorgna]

Sadly enough we ended up NEVER using this!!!

[@NoName-be5ir]

curious what tips ya running ?

@@CatfishLove more than likely I’ll look tomorrow when i get to the shop. Thanks rook

@@KevinLavorgna Not trying to bust your chops brother. I have been down this road before. It is a learning curve that you can't just throw parts at. You have to learn what your machines are actually capable of as far as GPM to be able to tip you surface cleaners right. All surface cleaners are a slow operation. The mini mondo is the most efficient one on the market today. I have tried them all. You have to have a surface cleaner that is easy to manage in size and cleans well. I your mind you are thinking a larger surface cleaner will help you finish the job quicker. I reality it does not work that way. You will always have water supply issues on the job. In most situations you will not have enough water to supply both machines. A larger surface cleaner is harder to handle all day and will slow your pace down. You are on the right path with running a surface cleaner with shorter bars. The larger ones with a single bar are useless. That is why after wasting much money on surface cleaners I have learned that the mini mondo is the most efficient on the market. 2 machines together in theory sound good but you can't outrun your water supply. If you end up waiting on water you are losing money. There are many factors that go into figuring out the most efficient setup. It takes time but you are on the right path. It is good to see young men putting in the work to learn to build there on equipment. You should be proud of yourself just remember it takes time to figure it all out. Just always remember this. Water supply is the key to it all which means more GPM is not the answer. Learning to be more efficient with less is the key. Good luck my friend.

@@CatfishLove he's not the owner lol, Vincent is who probably put the thing together and knows the tip sizes

[@OrthodogAllen]

thats fing insane.

[@CatfishLove]

You need to do a bucket test on your GPM . 2 8 GPM machines will not give you 16 GPM out the hose. It will be more like 12.

[@KevinLavorgna]

I’ll do it in the morning for you 🫡

[@seattleprowash5464]

Why not? He has half inch prsssure hose that’s exactly what it should do 😊

[@stearswindowcleaning]

Change the tips

[@KevinLavorgna]

We used this one time then never applied it sadly.

[@Thetruthhurtstrump2024]

There’s no way you’re getting 16 GPM with those motors and pumps. More like 12.

[@KevinLavorgna]

8 gpm pumps per machine, tied together with the Siamese kit.

[@KevinLavorgna]

I’ll do the test in the morning

[@Thetruthhurtstrump2024]

@@KevinLavorgna I understand that I have two Kawasaki engines with a 10 and a 6.5 GPM pump and I barely get 16 GPM.

[@KevinLavorgna]

@@Thetruthhurtstrump2024 no worries. You got me wondering now.. I’ll test it and report back to you or just post a vid of it
