Gen 2 - 12 volt soft wash system demo

trying out my new Gen 2

[@PressureWashAppalachia]

Took inspiration for my first skid build from these old videos. Appreciate you Joe

[@powerfulimprovements]

That is awesome!

[@brucemartin1793]

Really nice. BRUCE FROM CONNECTICUT POWERWASHING 27 YEARS JUST NOW GETTING INTO SOFTWASHING...THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEO

[@powerfulimprovements]

Bruce Martin you’re welcome Bruce. Where in CT?

[@pablorogov]

I am so glad people like you exist on planet earth 🌎 can’t believe your handing out all this free info ) people are asking for a lot of money for their pressure washing courses.

[@powerfulimprovements]

I’m just documenting my evolution. I will say the Mike Vidan courses look legit

[@pelassancho24]

Thanks for thinking about other people with similar interests. Great informative video. I appreciate it sir.

[@powerfulimprovements]

You’re welcome!

Professionals like this one giving back what they've learned has always helped me more than anything else. In my opinion the Gen 2 is the best setup out there with the accumulation tank. I also run a 2 pump system but have the option of running both pumps at the same time in parallel so that I can either rinse faster with getting 9 to 11 gpm or on big jobs putting down my mix faster. I recently finished a 130 tall spillway tower 30 yards out in the water and running in parallel to put down 11 gpm made a HUGE difference.

[@powerfulimprovements]

💪🏻😎✌🏻

[@romanbelik3544]

Hey, could you send me a pic of your parallel pump setup?

[@robshepherdsrnrllc7982]

really like your soft wash set up.

[@leonytigre]

Can’t seem to find it wish you had link great video

[@adriangarza4732]

Beautiful home brother

[@powerfulimprovements]

Adrian Garza thank you!

[@jimmiller3486]

Good demo of your equipment Joe, much appreciated ! Take care.

[@newwavepressure6478]

Jus got mine love it....do u use ur pressure washer to rinse if you doing house wash ??? I would have to run back to the truck and shut off my mix and just run straight water out of it????

[@powerfulimprovements]

JT 1200 yes I rinse with the pressure washer. Apply with 12 and rinse with jrod on pressure washer

[@MarkB-zt9jm]

Powerful Improvements Joe , great videos man !! Can you do a video on how many gallons you are putting out per minute with your 12 system?

[@powerfulimprovements]

Mark B6750 my pump is 4,9 wide open

[@graedickason2557]

Build a water tight lock box in the back for all your hand tools. Get that stuff out of your cab.

[@JoeJoe-wp1vv]

I plummed the Like button, and I did it quite plummingly.

[@geoffsilac7164]

Thanks for posting this. I like the Gen 2 system but I'm struggling with time. It took me 2.5 hrs to wash a 1500 sq ft ranch, lol. Do you use a pressure washer for rinses and wetting down plants? Or maybe I just need more practice.

[@powerfulimprovements]

I Downstream exclusively now. This is an older video

[@SunSweepingServices]

Great video man😊👍🏼 Just a question for you because I need to understand this idea a little bit better. Why is it that people have the battery in the back and why charge it separate from your alternator in your truck? Can’t you just connect the system to the truck battery?

[@powerfulimprovements]

Sun Sweeping Service you would have to keep the truck running I believe and would likely kill a regular battery. We run 12v on deep cycle marine battery. Which I believe you could charge if you wired it to the truck. I have not tried yet

[@SunSweepingServices]

Powerful Improvements, It may be a good idea to look into it my friend. I don’t do power washing or soft washing yet but I used to do pressure washing. Now I run a street sweeping business and we have auxiliary engines that run off the same battery on my trucks. I also run 12 V pumps on my street sweeping trucks just to spray the concrete or whatever surface we are street sweeping to give it a nice look and keep dust at a minimum. All of it is run off the same battery. I don’t think the battery in the back is even necessary but I’m not sure either. Like you said, it would be a good idea to have the extra battery just so you do not have to constantly run the truck. You could have something to monitor the voltage on the battery and when it hits a certain point start the truck to recharge or just keep the extra battery but connect it directly to the terminals in the engine compartment so that your alternator can charge both batteries.

[@powerfulimprovements]

Sun Sweeping Service I believe you can. It’s just a matter of having it done correctly.

[@featheredcoyote5477]

@@powerfulimprovements maybe adding a power inverter in the back seat of the Ford like we have at work. Charges all of our battery powered drills and saws.

[@powerfulimprovements]

FEATHERED COYOTE yeah. Something like that is going in this winter

[@jimmyt5241]

Dude thank you for showing the fan tip o was wondering about it, and the distance the gen 2 covers your right jet many videos showing this, I just bought the gen 2 with mounted tank, with some apple wash surfactant, trying to find a good distributor to get my sodium hypochlorite 12.5% I'm gonna try a pool place I would like 55 gallons for the best deal delivered, Any good sources for sh? Thanks again, great company name, I'm thompson Improvements out of western n.c !

[@powerfulimprovements]

James Thompson I’m glad you liked it. I love the Gen 2 and currently use it everyday for house wash chemical application then rinse with my power washer. Great system. I buy my sh from pool store currently

[@triadpressurewashing]

Just unboxed mine! What battery should I get? And mu understanding is that you must premix your batch unless you have a blender correct?

[@baohung5234]

Thanks for the demo Joe, what do you use for pressure washer machine?

[@kushlandtooclean1539]

Great videos I finally subscribe to your channel brother. Nice setup 🤙🏾

[@HouseWashingRick]

Joe, what type of pump ( brand) is on this machine and if I had to replace the pump where can I buy one

[@valdovazquez6636]

Can you give me the link for the battery & charger...

[@jerrydward3455]

When you plumb everything do you just mean that you level the machines north to south and East to west as close to perfect as you can?

[@powerfulimprovements]

Jerry D Ward 😂✌🏼

[@jerrydward3455]

Powerful Improvements is that a yes

[@powerfulimprovements]

Jerry D Ward I think we are confused

[@jerrydward3455]

Powerful Improvements what does it mean to plumb your equipment

[@powerfulimprovements]

Jerry D Ward connect to hoses etc. plumbing

[@yubentuben2533]

Sorry, I'm just don't see the difference between a pump on a truck hooked to a wand and a jrod, or a pump in the well house hooked to a hose and nozzle. Also there is mold wash that hooks to hoses that can reach pretty high. I still prefer a high volume low pressure tip on a washer for proper rinse. The 0 tip just doesn't detail it good enough.

[@yubentuben2533]

You do know that the mold is still there right? The bleach just makes it invisible, it has to be pushed off the surface still. Not happening with a 0 tip.

[@robshepherdsrnrllc7982]

what kind of accumilator do you have?

[@powerfulimprovements]

Flojet but I no longer use. Doesn’t make a big difference

[@srdjannakalamic5856]

Are you still rocking the Gen. 2

[@powerfulimprovements]

No sir

[@armyofone2019]

Mario Maraboto mine came as part of my gen 2 system. I cannot promise it would work for your set up. What pump do you have?

[@nicholashalvis5376]

Who did you purchase this system from? And what was the cost?

[@powerfulimprovements]

Omega1 Powerwashstore. Roughly 1400 but then added the 3way bleeder banjo valve and drop stick for about 100. And then of course you need a battery. 100

Powerful Improvements, Thanks
