First Run New 8gpm

First time firing up our new 8 gpm. Flow and Draw Testing tomorrow.
I’m thrilled with this set up so far. #evolution #hustle #onemanonetruck #powerwashing #roofwashing #guttercleaning #softwashing #housewashing #2022WashSeason

28th Big evolution since you started 2 years ago. Fun watching them old videos and comparing the difference

Yep. Crazy

Just built a similar setup but with a Udor 9gpm. Definitely all the power I will ever need! Your machine is going to rock Joe! Get ready:)

Sweet!

Still crushing it! Simple and easy to work on!! Like how quiet the motor is. Looking good!

Looking good Joe!! Congrats on the 8 GPP unit & welcome to the club!!

[@powerfulimprovements]

Thank you!!

Great stuff. Good to see you Getting Ready!!!

[@powerfulimprovements]

Thank you

[@daco8252]

I always use air for winterizing, but I made custom air hook-ups for more than one type pump or system. The Schrader valve will slow your volume. Use a male air hose plug for better flow and hands-free connection. Look up RV winterizing fittings to get an idea. I also made up one using a hose barb tee/1/4" thread with a brass back flow valve and air plug that was the greatest because it was always hooked up in-line ready to go.

[@powerfulimprovements]

We may modify

[@slim439]

Where you have the charging /regulator unit bolted to the side of the engine base plate, put a couple of rubber mounting washers there. It allows air to flow behind it, & stops any vibrations from potentially cracking it. Was advised by my supplier when I was putting my machine together.

[@powerfulimprovements]

Thank you for the advice

[@robmoss6853]

Wait until you get the Davis tip on that gun. 3 stories no problem 😂. Happy to see you grow.

[@powerfulimprovements]

The baffles work great

[@littlespressurewashing]

Great video bro I’m gonna make a video soon on how I winterized my first rig five years ago I did something similar to where I could winterize it in a matter of minutes on the fly, It will be on my KZbin channel this one here

Nothing wrong with that

[@codytownsend1424]

Hey Joe I like the new 8 GPM. I'm about to get one soon. I noticed you got a gear drive. Do you prefer gear drive over belt drive also have you had any problems running the gear drive. Love your channel man, keep it up!!!

[@powerfulimprovements]

The gear drive has had no issues. 2 years on it now. I chose gear drive for space savings

[@derrickbell3087]

Dude the rig looks good, neat, and efficient! See about something to transfer SH to the tank in the truck faster. I think it will be your last piece to a faster year. I believe the 8gpm and other upgrades will cut about 1-2 hours off your day. Let’s time it when you start the season. Let’s time it on 3-5 jobs a day depending on house size, drive time, etc. I’m rooting for you! No pulls baby lol will that size line support the 8gpm?

[@powerfulimprovements]

Yes absolutely we have one of the GEN two pumps will be dedicated to transfer I’ll have a banjo pigtail coming off the pump which will then go to the transfer a drop stick for the 55 gallon drum on the ground. Proved to be pretty slick last year and will be improved upon this year

[@cartersservices3134]

[@michaelc7283]

Hi Joe, Are you using a 3/8" or a 1/2" whip line? Is your first high pressure hose line 1/2" or 3/8"? I'm only asking because there's a few channels recommending that set up for a 8.0 gpm machine.

[@powerfulimprovements]

All 3/8

[@michaelc7283]

@@powerfulimprovements Yeah, that's what i thought. I'm also using all 3/8 and still getting 9.0 gpm with the flow test. Don't know why their recommending 1/2". Thanks

Truth I’m sure

[@johnwitt586]

Joe, is the yellow spa hose going to the pressure washer 1 inch?

[@powerfulimprovements]

Yes it is

[@jonathanhavel1036]

Looking awesome..! What is the difference between your unloader and the stock one.. I think it was the vrt3.. I had bought the VRT3.. I haven't Installed it yet. I'm looking for less kick as well. It kills my forearms.

[@powerfulimprovements]

K7 K1 are flow sensitive so no pressure gets built up in lines

[@smitty4699]

hi joe, i was wondering... i bought the combo setup from washmart.. it came with the zk1 unloader and I see you're using the K7 unloader... whats the difference and what made you go with that particular one? I just had the typical argument with my local power washing repair guy and installer that its too dangerous to use with the flow sensitive unloader :(
