Wait til you put a remote control servo on the DN 10 ball valve and stop walking back to the truck. They sell them for 300 to 500 bucks, worth every penny.

[@robertsantana5245]

I have a 4200 psi 4gpm pressure washer and i ordered one on amazon it says “2.0” instead of “2.1” so im not sure if i would have to lower my psi for it to work properly? Or if i wont even be able to use it. Great video btw i think u explained downstream better than most of the videos ive seen to try to understand it

[@powerfulimprovements]

It should work fine

[@terrycarter8928]

Hey Joe. If you open\close DN valve everytime you go from water to chem, you don't have to have the ball and spring in the injector, right?

[@powerfulimprovements]

Without the ball and spring it will back flow and fill your sh tank with water

Hey Joe, how are you making your pressure washer have no kick. I have a 5.5 and it’s hard to hold onto it.

Just put together my remote ball valve bypass kit and used it today on a job...man is so nice not having to walk back to the truck to turn the bypass valve.. I added a twist to my set up, I have 2 electric ball valves, one is used to turn on/off soap, the other is used to join 2 machines (10gpm) together when I'm ready to rinse..both are controlled off one 4 button long range remote..built the whole thing over the winter...man this thing is sweet!!!

Soap is pretty much soap when house washing. I used to use dawn but decided to try Elemonator definitely like it a little more, Masks the sh smell alot more.

[@christophermix6845]

Whoops KZbin glitched and put my comment on the wrong video. Haha But I appreciate you giving a great explanation on how this works!

[@Allcoastlawnandpressurewashing]

I bought mine and tested it yesterday. I want to bypass the downstream injector when it is time to surface clean so I can get stronger pressure. I did a draw test with my downstream injector and bypass. With the bypass off and on I filled up my bucket to the 4 gallon mark for both tests. By looking at other videos I saw a difference of the flow rate with the bypass on and off. I was shooting water to measure the distance and the distance is the same for both bypass on and off. I’m using a 4gpm PW. Am I doing something wrong?

[@powerfulimprovements]

What size injector? You won’t see as dramatic a difference with a 4 gpm

Yeah there is a big difference between a 4 gallon and 5.5 gallon pump when you get full flow from it. Those 13 horse Hondas will always start with one pull as long as the spark plug is gapped right, just remember that when you do maintenance on your engine. Thanks for the video Joe!

Joe! I absolutely love your stuff, but I don’t think the bypass injector makes a difference with flow! I just put out a video today, where I ran a test, I flow tested my machine and my results confirmed no change to flow due to downstream injector. If you got some time, take a look! Thanks again, love your stuff.

It entirely depends on which size injector you run. The 1.8 severely restricts and 8 gpm machine. I’ve run repeated tests every year on every machine

Hi Joe, when using the Bypass can you use more than 150 ft of hose? I know with just a downstream injector you are limited to 100 or 150 ft hose, so I wasn’t sure if the SH can still be forced with the bypass valve? Thanks
