The drawback is that the pump needs to be replaced because it corrodes due to SH.

[@cardinalprosoftwash]

Sure but doesn't everything have a life span? These typically last an entire year for me and at $125 it pays for itself. The very first time a job is completed. I recommend running straight water through it. After every wash you should be good to go 🤘🏾

[@pugs333]

How did the pump work being mounted vertically? I want to mount mime to a wall

[@cardinalprosoftwash]

It works great this way. Either way works but this is the way I recommend mounting it because if anything goes wrong and it springs a leak it will leak onto the floor rather than down into the motor🤘🏽

[@cardinalprosoftwash]

speaking of cameramen, have you ever thought of using a camera "Tripod" for your camera? Can't belive that many people have not thought of this being used to film as they work. And it costs less than hiring a FT camera operator.... on some spots in your video.....

[@moeron3879]

I would love a 1 year update on those penta valves. I have seen so many crack, but it could be that the person over tightened. Looks good, but did it last?

[@1stFlyingeagle]

The pent valve, by what I hear, work well but are kinda fragile. Remember the pumps, no matter what brand, make them about a season and need to be replaced or rebuilt. But this setup is very cost-friendly to get our foot in the door.

For most people I would say because it is much more cost efficient than a gas roof pump and can do almost the same thing minus the distance a gas pump can shoot.

Wouldn’t connecting that pump to the mixing valve with hard pipe give it better flow than the flow restrictions of those barb fittings?

This is a low psi (60) machine so the restriction is negligible. The kit also includes an adapter for standard water hose fitting so the choice is yours. I have no issues with flow using the 1/2 in. Diameter barb though🤘🏾

[@papintoodeep]

How long did the soft wash system last ?

[@cardinalprosoftwash]

Currently running like brand new!

[@cardinalprosoftwash]

Obviously it's all going to depend on your maintenance. Make sure that after you are finished running chemical through it that you run water through it for at least 5 minutes. That's what I do after every wash. I don't wash every day so for me it should last me at least a full year or maybe even longer. But as far as the build of the system, I don't see any problems with it in the near future. These pumps though will eventually go out and they're inexpensive to replace

[@papintoodeep]

Your video is very helpful . I'm just starting out and on a budget . Hopefully I can just start with a 7 12v pump and one drum with 5o% water 50% bleach. Thank you Brother

[@cardinalprosoftwash]

Yeah I paid like $850 and that was last year I believe now they're up to like $1100 I didn't start with this though, I just used downstreaming to clean everything and now that I want to get into some heavier work, the softwash system is more necessary. Let me know how you pieced together at $300 soft wash system as I look at it right now. 5 gallon per minute pumps are around $125 and 200 ft of hose is going to cost you nearly another $200 but I assume it could be done.

Why not dump all your bleach chem and water in the same tank? Not meant from a spirit of debate. Great video btw

[@cardinalprosoftwash]

I would do that if I didn't have multiple tanks. That is called batch mixing and the downfall of batch mixing is that you cannot adjust the strength of your mix. By having the proportioner I can adjust the strength of my mix for multiple surfaces. Therefore, if I am washing a vinyl house, I might use less than a 1% mix, whereas if I were cleaning a roof, I might use as much as a 6% mix. Hopefully this helps 🤘🏾

@@cardinalprosoftwash it does. Great points

[@cardinalprosoftwash]
