Hey Rusty , Great video brother thank you for the info I really appreciate it. I seen a set up at a power wash store selling for $700. This is a much better set up and a lot cheaper. Thank you!

[@washwav]

I built a bucket and sprays water great. If I put sealer or stripper in it, it dribbles out and not a nice flow, and yes everything is plumbed properly just not sure why it doesn’t draw the sealer good

[@rusty.nesvig]

What size hose is your draw hose? Make sure nothing is clogged and make sure it’s 3/8

[@mariograce7115]

This is awesome! No more pump sprayer!!

[@rusty.nesvig]

Exactly!

[@AWESOMENESS40186]

I love the idea but one glaring issue. You’re running a 12volt pump on a 20volt battery. That pump is running much faster than it should and is reducing the life greatly. Amazon also sells a dewalt battery holder with a 20 to 12 volt step down.

[@rusty.nesvig]

Yes ! Do you mind commenting the link for the step down? I’ve been wanting to figure out the correct way.

[@SuperDoeboy77]

Question: Hi Rusty! Love the idea. You are using a 12 volt pump with 20 volt max battery. Wouldn't that ruin the pump?

Yes it will. You need a step down voltage convertor.

Hi Rusty, do you consider making a video about your thought and any update (or new idea that you would suggest) about the sprayer?

[@juniorbiel24]

Thanks for the awesome video Rusty. Your videos help more than you can imagine. Helps us all get that much better by learning what you know. So on behalf of your subs, thank you for what you do my man. Definitely trying to imitate your approach to your business and bring it to mine. I love and admire your attention to quality when serving your customers. I just set up this rig, I plumbed everything up except for the gun. The pump runs flawlessly when there is no restriction of the gun in line. As soon as I put the gun onto the hose, the pump starts freaking out. I tried to adjust the psi bolt and eventually all the back pressure just popped my gun off the line. What can I do to fix this?

[@rusty.nesvig]

Thank you man! It sounds like the tip on your gun is restricting the flow too much. Look into a gun with interchangeable tips.

[@juniorbiel24]

@@rusty.nesvig yeah i am thinking thats what it is. I ordered another wand that was made for a 1gpm and gonna put a 6510 tip on it and i think it should alleviate that issue

[@samuelestrada-porter488]

What kind of a reach can you get w that thing is you dont use a fan tip? Obviously a slightly bigger pump would get more reach too, thinking vs Xjet kind of thing.......

[@rusty.nesvig]

Much better performance with X jet no doubt. Only pro to this would be stronger mix than X jet.

[@lovemytechy]

so no need to step down the 20v or 18v battery to 12v? I know car battery is usually 14v, but can these pumps take 18-20v and not burn out?

[@zafarul_akram]

how about the battery low voltage cut of system?

[@Youtuberkit7]

Thank you very much bro. I’m a pest control It really help question do you have any brand to recommend for a pump that is very heavy duty? Thanks again God bless

Do you if id be able run acid through it? Caustic soda to be exact.

[@mamsongmai]

Hi Rusty, is your DeWalt battery 12v or 18v. My battery is 18v , do I need anything to convert to 12v. Thanks

[@rusty.nesvig]

Mine is 20v. Some people do a step down conversion and some people don’t. I’ve never seen a difference

[@komradekoala5648]

Looking forward to using this as a water source for an extractor for auto detailing! Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't you vent out air?

[@rusty.nesvig]

Glad this helped you! There is a big hole in the middle of the buckets for the wand to go through. Also, I never clamp down the lid completely when I’m using in. I snap on only one little section this way I’m not fighting it trying to get it off.

[@kirkwilson5900]

Those lids are so hard to remove 😅​@@rusty.nesvig

[@johnw1178]

I’ve looked up the diagram pumps and they seem to be rated for between 12v to 24v. The thing I can’t find is will they stop pumping once the line is pressurized? It sounded like yours was cycling on and off in the video.

[@rusty.nesvig]

It will stop pumping as long at nothing can flow.

[@thomascicalese7844]

Hey Rusty,Thanks for all your videos and information. Just wondering do you ever come across a job where they just want the pavers cleaned and sanded .If so how would you charge for that. And what kind of guarantee would you offer. Thanks again

[@rusty.nesvig]

You’re welcome! Thank you for watching. Yes I have come across that a few times. I don’t recommend sanding without sealing because just one day of bad weather will wash it out so I don’t guarantee anything. You can’t “guarantee” a length on cleaning because that can change depending on seasons. I tell them it will typically stay clean for 8-12 months.

[@HenryDixon-g6g]

Great video can I use a 3.5-GPM pump because I already have one.

[@rusty.nesvig]

Yes you definitely can but I wouldn’t recommend a pump that big to spray sealant. Too much volume. To spray SH or anything else , that would be fine.

[@HenryDixon-g6g]

Got ya thank you great information.

[@leftycosta1899]

What is the range of this sprayer and how is it superior to just using the bottles that just attach to a hose?

[@rusty.nesvig]

I’m not sure what you mean by the range of the sprayer ? And there is no sealer that connect to a hose. If you’re asking why is it superior to spraying bleach rather than 30 second outdoor cleaner from your garden hose it’s because 1. You can use SH diluted with water, saving you much more money & 2 you can have 5 gallons of ready to spray product rather than a quarter gallon.

[@azimpetra]

I would recommend some kind of filter/strainer on inlet, for guys using chemicals. In case it's not fully mixed, it might suck on some soap or powder that's not fully mixed. It's around $20+(maybe less), for ones near the inlet. There's also ones for hose end, it'll act as a weight, and strainer. *Might need to use more flexible hose. Who knows, it might save you some money by making the pump last longer.

You have to check every point of connection and find where air is being sucked in. Make sure everything is tight.
