This is the video I’ve been looking for you explain things how I understand them. These other videos I see just seem to make it think everyone knows what’s what and what goes to what. Thanks man.

[@Kurtspressurewashing]

That’s the goal! I was so confused when I first started. And it shouldn’t be that difficult. Glad it helped!

[@robloxfun1013]

Agreed, I could never understand how it actually works and what connects to what until I saw this video.

[@Kurtspressurewashing]

@@robloxfun1013 means a lot! Hope u stick around!

[@julianbrazier7893]

Can you do a vid about putting together your metering valves

[@dontaviusstevens3970]

Thank you so much for this video man!!!

[@Kurtspressurewashing]

Your welcome!

[@jerrymeyers2075]

Nice job explaining your setup!

[@Kurtspressurewashing]

Thank you!

[@cardinalprosoftwash]

Love this money maker🎉

[@Kurtspressurewashing]

Thank you!!

[@Thehaydenhiner]

Nice video man! Well said and simple . What the people like. Business scares most off by the cost of these damn hose reels 😂 Jesus. Maybe a shoulder workout isn’t so bad after all

[@Kurtspressurewashing]

😂😂 they are what sucks to spend money on but I promise you they are worth it, if you don’t wanna buy a new one, you can always go on Facebook marketplace

[@papintoodeep]

What parts do I need to make a pourporchner. Also what size trailer

[@nickhyzer5115]

Where do you buy your cherry surfactants. Also where do you fill your SH tanks? What are average costs. No one has made video's explaining cost and consumable products.

[@captaincake4331]

You should call a local supplier and ask for pricing.

[@user-ns6tn8vn2r]

It usually costs me about $25-30 in SH and surfactants to do a 3000sqft house wash. Roof washing costs more. Compared to the revenue the costs are very low.

[@jpjp9111]

What's an SH?

[@JustinEasley-fq8ks]

Very helpful man I have some of these items in my Amazon cart! My only question is what fittings do I need for the soft wash gun to be able to hook my jrod in and Is the top hole capped off? Thanks!

[@codygorditacrunch]

Super video

[@scottdodson7122]

Do you have a link for the blend manifold

[@ariefauzan33]

Great video, love ur channel, im from indonesia want to make like this, May u explain function the second and third hose reel

[@Kurtspressurewashing]

Those are for filling up my water tank and the other one is for my high pressure hose! I make videos on my channel explaining them

[@nickcangelosi1836]

Awesome job and great content. One question, can you please provide a link and or info for your proportionior system/parts? Thanks.

[@Kurtspressurewashing]

I got it from cigar city softwash! I’m also doing a giveaway on one of them on my channel right now!

[@nickcangelosi1836]

@@Kurtspressurewashing thanks very much. How do we enter into the giveaway? Or is it too late? What exactly is the giveaway? A proportioner system from CC?Thanks Kurt.

[@Kurtspressurewashing]

@@nickcangelosi1836 check the video on my channel I explain everything!!! Not too late yet

[@charlesrose9530]

2:45 😂

[@jpjp9111]

I have a 1.5 gal/min machine from Costco. I assume that's good enough.

[@davidc5808]

Awesome video! What size hoses are you using? Is that 1/2in hose from water and sh to proportioner and then 3/4 from proportioner to pump the 3/4 from pump to reel and then is that 5/8 on the hose reel to the gun?

[@Kurtspressurewashing]

Everything is 5/8!

[@SprayNShinePressureWashing]

Wassup boss man ! Very nice video describing everything im needing ! I just purchased a 50 gal and 35 gal tank now I’m needing a pump ! Thanks for the information boss! Do you have a link I can tap for some of these parts im needing to get my trailer to where it’s at im building a 5x8 pressure washing/soft washing rig

[@Kurtspressurewashing]

Yes! go to my previous videos like how to build a pressure washing trailer or everything you need and all the links are in the description!

[@silverstake88]

What is the brand of hose reel for your flexilla hoses?

[@zach_plays1264]

What hose do you run on your trailer I tried to find a 200ft flexzilla but all I find is a air hose

[@E10225]

What hose reel are you using for the soft-wash hose? If you could link that would be great... love the video.

[@Kurtspressurewashing]

It’s called a general pump hose reel 18 inch! Hope that helps. Thanks for the comment!

[@pressurewashingandhoodcleaning]

what size hose you have from your pump to your spraygun?

[@rucosantana]

Awesome set up Kurt! I am getting 1/2" air hose (flexzilla) for my softwash set up, I've heard lots of great comments vs the water hose any thoughts on that? Do you rinse the system after every job to avoid corrosion in the hose reel line and fittings? what size is your trailer? Thanks in advance!

[@christophermix6845]

I'd get Flexzilla 5/8. Then you have garden hose and soft wash hose. And the pump will be more efficient.

[@paco_rolon]

How many hours will the car battery last for?

[@abrahamgarza2194]

How often are you charging your battery? Are you charging it at the end of every day?

[@Kurtspressurewashing]

Tbh, i havent charged it in like a few weeks just because it is such a big battery and small pump that doesnt require much.

[@bunchobirdies]

hey bud love the channel!! so what's the best way to do soft washing using my pressure washer? TIA

[@Kurtspressurewashing]

Get a downstream injector!! I made a video on my channel about them! :)

[@user-bv1cn3xt7w]

where did you get that reel for the softwash

[@BogglingHistoryFacts]

What size and brand battery do you use?

[@seanduenas8684]

Is there maintenance for a 12v pump - I know for pressure washers there are pump protection sprays ? Not sure for a 12v soft wash pump

[@Kurtspressurewashing]

Make sure you flush it with water after every job. Other than that pumps will naturally break, you will most likely replace them every year

[@sergiodominguez1627]

Why do most people have 3 hose reels ?

[@Kurtspressurewashing]

One is for filling up water, one is for high pressure, one if for the softwash system

[@michaelc7283]

Quick question on your general pump hose reel for the softwash. Did it rust out the steel manifold really bad? Did you notice any rust coming out of the gun or when you disconnected to rinse it out?

[@Kurtspressurewashing]

Not at all! Just make sure you rinse out after every job

[@michaelc7283]

@@Kurtspressurewashing Good to know. Thanks

[@Samuellerusse]

HI which soap you ad to smell it better please? best regards Sam Belgium

[@Kurtspressurewashing]

Elemonader!

[@WashWizardsns]

What pressure washer do you use for this set up? I’m looking to upgrade but stuck on the pressure washer to buy

[@Kurtspressurewashing]

Honda gx690!

[@GorillaWash_Stain]

I have an extra general pump pressure washing hose reel. Would that work for a softwash system?

[@Kurtspressurewashing]

Absolutely that’s what I use! I use 5/8 hose on that yoo

[@brentosburn3422]

If I was going to batch mix, would 40 gallons of 6% do a 2000 ft² roof? Hoping to upgrade to a setup like this after this job.

[@Kurtspressurewashing]

If your soft washing it, yes it should be enough. Might not be enough to go over it twice

[@villano31]

How does the pump handle backpressure from the pressure washer?

[@Kurtspressurewashing]

Could you elaborate more?

[@bunchobirdies]

I've heard to use 3/8 flexible air hose.....thoughts?

[@Kurtspressurewashing]

I wouldn’t recommend. Too small. You want either 5/8 or 1/2

[@yellowfinendurance]

what trailer is this?

[@kareemblackman8019]

Surfactant (n) substance which tends to reduce the surface tension of a liquid in which it is dissolved. Sorry

[@carlosgonzalez-go1tn]

Where did you get the preportioner or did you make it

[@Kurtspressurewashing]

Cigar city soft wash

[@maxdipauli5882]

What size quick connect fits the jrod?

[@Kurtspressurewashing]

3/8

[@JuniorMuhubao]

Love the setup but that hose reel will rot out pretty quickly with it being steel and how much sh will go through it everything else looks awesome

[@Kurtspressurewashing]

Thanks for the comment! I flush out my reel after every job so it should be good!

[@cardinalprosoftwash]

Did you purchase your downstream injector on Amazon? It looks like one that I came across the other day? I didn't know if I would go with that or go to a local pressure wash store and pay $70 for one😢

[@Kurtspressurewashing]

Yes I did, the amazon link one is the one I use

[@cardinalprosoftwash]

👍🏾

[@user-co3dm3mp6u]

How do you keep the battery charged while your doing a job

[@Kurtspressurewashing]

I just charge it every night over night and it’ll last a full day

[@user-co3dm3mp6u]

@Kurtspressurewashing ok thank you

[@Heartwash]

How do you get your leads?

[@Kurtspressurewashing]

Alot of cold calling and word of mouth, facebook helps as well

[@jimhendrix7776]

How long does a battery last with pump running?

[@Kurtspressurewashing]

It can go a few days

[@scottdodson7122]

You’re running bleach through Flexzilla hose and it doesn’t bother it

[@Kurtspressurewashing]

No

[@tjcline89]
