Active 2.0 Pressure Washer: Wall mount, hose reel, and 125ft of hose!

[@bjackson1975]

Obsessed garage identified that they use a 5.0 orifice nozzle tip that may help you somewhat on your flow but looks like you’re doing OK at 2 gpm. I think I missed the orifice size you’re using in the video. Thank you for taking the time to make the video. Very helpful and thorough.

Thanks. I am using the Active white one but bought a variety of orifices to try. My pressure is also a little on the low side (but it still jerks the handle every time you squeeze it LOL) so will probably stick with what I tested. its a lot of water that comes out already even under the 2 GPM.

lol my sunjoe wont die on me either....cant find it in me to replace it until she goes

[@PaulNelson22]

Did you ever hear back from Active on why it continue to run for so long after releasing the trigger?

[@toddstube578]

No, I suspect this is so far out of the normal usage that they wont bother trying to resolve it and I can't blame them

@@toddstube578 its the hose. I had the 50' flexzilla and the unit would run after some time as the hose expanded and pressurized. I just replaced it with a single wire hose from obsessed garage and it works flawlessly. The unit turns off instantly.

I'm curious is your 125ft hose steel braided or is it flexzilla because I had the exact same problem with the flexzilla not turning the machine off for half a min or so and once I replaced it with a steel braided the machine shut off instantly every time

[@toddstube578]

interesting you mention this as the expansion of the hose under pressure was one of my thoughts. Mine is all Flexzilla. I did initially try a knock off of the Flexzilla that seemed to be much more rigid hose and it was actually the worse. Now that I have used mine for a while it rarely does not shutoff after 5 or so seconds so maybe something is "breaking in" too.

[@andrewzazaian4688]

Yeah maybe the pressure valve is adjusting to it but ever since I switched over to the Cobra Jet hose mine is turned off without fail immediately as I was able to actually talk to the owner of active and he said the pressure valve is very sensitive if it is not single steel braided hose and did not recommended double braided because it's way too stiff

Nice setup. did you build (D.I.Y) your shop/garage?

[@toddstube578]

Thanks, its made by Absolute Steel and they happen to be local to me so had them do it.
