All Flo Air Diaphragm 1/2" Distance Test & Tweaking

Testing a few different tips to see what kind of distance we can get out of the 1/2" All-Flo Air Diaphragm Pump. We also did some small tweaking on the system.

I had the same set up as a backup to my 5HP booster. The air was great for roof cleaning, but I absolutely hated using it for softwashing the sides of buildings. I sold that trailer and went to Gas Powered Systems. P40s is by far the best I’ve used in 30 years of washing.

[@allproexteriorservicesllc5338]

Nice. We use the AR45 & agree with using the air for house washing. I need the knock down power from my AR. Thanks

[@dylanthornsberry8778]

do you run a backup 12v as well with ur P40s?

[@vansage2691]

If you ask nicely I’ll let you borrow my pressure washer to clean that driveway…lol you’ve got more toys than Santa

[@allproexteriorservicesllc5338]

Lol. I am trying to downsize a little bit. Been saving for the new pad with a shop. Hopefully soon! Thanks

[@tomalley798]

I don’t have an AR but I do use a comet P40 and that is a beast. I just have an extra pump if it needs switchen over. 4 years on the same pump and it hasn’t said ouch yet. Chlorine is very nasty. I rinse my pump with a flow return, 4 gallon container of stabiliser after rinsing at the end of the day

[@allproexteriorservicesllc5338]

Agree & it is all about the maintenance. We love the AR45, especially for washing houses. Thanks

[@dylanthornsberry8778]

4 years is insane out of a Softwash pump.

[@TheFreshRinse]

Admit it Herb… you’re just having fun now!

[@allproexteriorservicesllc5338]

Yes sir. Love the new set up as of now. Thanks brother!!

[@northjerseykevin409]

Roughly how many GPM does something like that throw out? That was the first real demonstration of a pump like that. Looking good.

[@allproexteriorservicesllc5338]

@@northjerseykevin409 I never tested the GPM yet, but plan to in the near future. I will try to drop a video soon. Thanks

[@crystalclearwindowsllc]

were waiting on the escaping air.............. looks great though, but for it being a per gallon better system it seems very week spraying maybe I'm wrong?

[@allproexteriorservicesllc5338]

The air finally cleared up. Lol. Thanks

[@chrisangell5241]

Could this replace your AR? My ar is shot and im exploring what is out there. Thanks for the great video

[@allproexteriorservicesllc5338]

I don't think it could replace the AR. It doesn't have the knock down power or flow like the AR. It has replaced our 12 volt with a little more distance..thanks

[@chrisangell5241]

I downstream for house washes, I only use the ar for roofs. I like the distance and less volume for more control, less runoff and less chem is what im thinking. Let me know your thoughts and I look forever to all the follow up videos about this thing!

[@allproexteriorservicesllc5338]

Agreed with less chem. The air system will hopefully be a long term pump for roofs & post treating.

@@allproexteriorservicesllc5338I asked you about 12 v on another video a few minutes ago. Are you happier with this setup compared to a 12v ? Thanks

[@allproexteriorservicesllc5338]

@@northjerseykevin409 Much happier so far. Seems to much more reliable & the compressor comes is handy for other tasks. Thanks

[@Johnnyreengo]

Maybe its just the camera but that looks more like 2gpm lol

[@allproexteriorservicesllc5338]

Yeah, it for sure is not 17 GPM. My 1/2" hose is not doing any justice, but it is more than the 12 volt. I plan to do a bucket test soon. Thanks

[@tomalley798]

Can you please try the AR orange gun. I’m curious to see what happens.

[@allproexteriorservicesllc5338]

I plan to but I would like to upgrade my reel & hose to increase the flow. I will try to give it a shot with my current set up. Thanks

[@dylanthornsberry8778]

to me that air system looks the same as my 12v except it takes up 3x the amount of space and requires a lot of gas fuel.

[@allproexteriorservicesllc5338]

It does take up more space, but you get a 5 year warranty on the pump. To me the AODD system is the most reliable. I would rather refuel then have a dead battery on a job as well. Plus, the 12 volt may decide not to work in a mifddle of a job. Thanks

[@rickwashek478]

What's that gun your using??

[@allproexteriorservicesllc5338]

It's a gun I built. I used a 1/2" riser with a sutner soft wash gun. Thanks

[@michaelanello3344]

Try the yellow waterboss gun with the smaller orifice nozzle that comes in the box. I run that and the orange sani lav gun. Best gun selection for the air system in my opinion

[@allproexteriorservicesllc5338]

@@michaelanello3344 Awesome! I run the orange Waterboss gun on my AR system. Looking to upgrade the hose reel soon. Not sure about the upgrading the hose to 5/8 yet, as my air system was meant to replace the 12 volt. I love my AR for house washing. Thanks for the info!

[@michaelanello3344]

Switch to 5/8” hose. I have both a 12v and air diaphragm. They run through the same 5/8” hose. I run 225’ and it works great. I switch between the 2 systems with a 3 way ball valve but going to be changing it up shortly and will throw some videos on FB soon

[@allproexteriorservicesllc5338]

@@michaelanello3344 18” reel? I don’t want too much volume when roof washing. But I could back down the compressor if needed. I have been looking at the Manta 15” reels. Thanks
