The drawback is that the pump needs to be replaced because it corrodes due to SH.
@cardinalprosoftwash2 ай бұрын
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 🤘🏾

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?
@1stFlyingeagleАй бұрын
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.

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

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.

@cardinalprosoftwash Жыл бұрын
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 🤘🏾
