Im a washer out of Chicago. I love your content! Extremely thorough in your explanations, engaging conversation and great content. Bravo!

[@YoungAmbitionYA]

Thanks! 🤙😄

[@captainclean342]

4 gs comes thru each tip and it’s a double tip. And 2 x 2 tips is for four gpm

[@YoungAmbitionYA]

Both sets were 2gpm tips for a 4gpm machine. 8gpm won't run it. Had to order two 4gpm tips

Hi bro , I run a 21 inch Mosmatic surface cleaner best you can buy, oversized tips at 40 degrees angle for paving about 1250 psi per tip with full flow, have spare spinning bars with different tips much better easy to swap out bar on the fly, I would recommend changing supply line on surface cleaner gun trigger line to 1/2 inch to surface head, just cut and weld in 1/2 inch high pressure stainless steel socket and 1/2 pressure supply line.. 20 minutes with cutting in edges and ball valve rinse ..👍🤙

[@YoungAmbitionYA]

Sounds sweet!

[@jetskirehab750]

You can easily do that pool deck in 15-20 mins

[@YoungAmbitionYA]

🤙✈️

[@jetskirehab750]

Make sure you put 25045 or 25050 tips in it! 25040 will be max pressure which will etch soft driveways

[@YoungAmbitionYA]

Thanks!

[@craigmay8888]

I went with the 25045.. no etching.. no streaking..

[@craigmay8888]

I have an extra set of nozzles if you need them I could mail To them to you I'm just on the other side of the state so you would have that fast

[@tytythefly]

Take of handle/trigger of surface cleaner, upgrade whip line to 1/2”, control flow with dn10 ball valve. Upgrade bar to a #hilowsolutions tornado bar 4 tip bar, put 24020 tips in. Then Watch your surface cleaner become a monster.

[@YoungAmbitionYA]

Awesome thanks!

Great video as always, thanks for all your hard work and info!!

I bought the same surface cleaner from Northern Tool 20 years ago to use around house. The specs said "up to 8gpm". I had a 5.5 gpm, 16hp Brigs&Stratton. I hooked it up to my pressure washer and it barely spun it and then quit. I tossed it in my storage building. There it sat for 20 years. I never took the time to do any research. Then I bought a 8/3500. I put 2, 25 degree 4 gpm tips and it hovered above the ground unless I held the handles at a 60 degree angle and pushed down on it. It flew ! Vertical and horizontal. I was told that running tips that were too small would damage a pressure washer. So...now my guess is that the pressure regulator was smarter than I was and shut down the pressure whenI had 2/2gpm tips and 5.5 gpm....just my guess.

[@MannyAguilarJr]

Could go to 2 - 3gpm tips to prevent that surface cleaner launch. One of these pressure washering channels mentioned it. I think it may also help prevent etching. But it's been a couple of weeks since I've seen that video and I've been watch a lot of pressure washing videos so I wouldn't know which it is.

[@ronjclm8590]

@@MannyAguilarJr I now have an 8/3500 with two 4gpm tips and it won't easily stay on the ground. I need to go to 2- 4.5 or 5.0 gpm tips.

[@YoungAmbitionYA]

Yes small tips are the issue. I got bigger tips and works well

[@artinconstruction9070]

@@YoungAmbitionYA If you run your pressure washer on idle or just above it will produce 4-6 gallons per minute?

OK...

[@kustorez_kurganinsk]

Привет! Сколько бензина литров в час потребляет двигатель?

[@fbombpowerwashingllc]

Most coming 18" to 24" will be setup for 4gpm. And they never tell you have to buy extra tips to equal your gpm. They slack in communication department and on the website site..

I got it straightened out 🤙

[@rogerthetinker5116]

Use a K1 unloader that will solve the pulsing K7 is why the pulsing. The K1 will handle between 2.5 to 10.5 gpm and 3650 psi.

[@YoungAmbitionYA]

I swapped the tips. Works great. Unloader is fine

[@ronjclm8590]

@@YoungAmbitionYA what tips did you use? My identical SC wants to hover/fly with 2 4gpm's.

[@jasonbraun9060]

About 10min to clean that particular deck and rinse it. I have the same machine with the igx700 and it definitely likes the fuel. Cleaned the inside of a 80x150 horse arena this morning with it and ripped right through it.

[@YoungAmbitionYA]

That's awesome 🤙 how long have you been running yours? What pump?

[@jasonbraun9060]

@@YoungAmbitionYA I only have 70 hours on it. Not positive on the model but it's an AR pump. It's from R-washers which looks like yours is too. It's a beast. I know I'm a minority but I prefer my 6.5gpm for house washing. That's assuming there is no crazy angles I need the extra distance for.

[@youtubeisajoke2546]

I thought they make the 4gpm tips because they expect the gpm to be split since it’s two sprayer underneath. I would think that’s the correct call because if you use two sprayers on a 8gpm pump or 4K psi you’ll get 2k psi out of each sprayer or 4gpm

[@YoungAmbitionYA]

Yes I have 4gpms on there now. Works great. I misspoke in the vid. They were 2gpm tips

[@patfederico5714]

We use a 4 tip bar and run 2, 2 gpm tips for the 4 gpm machine and just add 2 more 2 gpm tips if we clean the 8 gpm machine, otherwise just plug the 2 inside holes.

[@YoungAmbitionYA]

That's awesome 🤙

[@tomuzagregv.8300]

(Edit again) you might want to return the 20” and go with the 24” with a 3 tip bar!) With that 20” SC… Tips? Look back at my post reply on your flowpro install vid. 👍 2x 6.0 is for 12 gpm machine but work for me (like 40060 tips). Work with tip size to get the pressure range you want at SC and not have to throttle back or adjust k7 too much. Like, set k7 with green tip at where you want and then adjust tip size on SC to reduce pressure to where you want ( about 1800- 2300 psi) and keep a higher flow rate for faster cleaning. Of course you will need to throttle back and/ or increase tips size even more for softer/ newer concrete. There Is one more area of adjustment often over looked as well. The head unit on SC also can be slid up and down make the bar and tip height closer or farther from the concrete too. Annnd, if you add casters, we’ll those too can be use to adjust SC ride height… it can get confusing quick! 🤪 If you don’t mind I can link you to another guy’s video that explains it pretty well. Hope this helps!

[@tomuzagregv.8300]

Pressure too high with those tips on the k7( not enough flow to allow k7 to operate!

I thought they came with 2 4gpm tips. Bc 8/2=4 lol. I think it’s your unloader

[@YoungAmbitionYA]

This came with two 2 gpm tips. It's not the unloader. Put bigger tips on it and it's fine

Wait what tips did you order? 2520 is for 4gpm not 2gpm. I think you need 2540 (because there's 2 tips 4gpm each)

8gpm with 21in surface cleaner, under 10 minutes including using a wand to cut in the edge and washing it down with the ball valve

Johnny didn't watch the whole video I guess 🙃🤷‍♂️

5.5gpm with a 20” surface cleaner would take me 15 minutes. The time killler depends on where the water wants to go

[@bmos212]

The total GPM tips have to match to totall GPM of your machine, so if you have 8 gpm machine, then you need 2 -4GPM tips for the surface cleaner equaling 8gpm.

[@ronjclm8590]

My surface cleaner won't stay on the ground with 2-4gpm tips.

[@bmos212]

@@ronjclm8590 add a small weight to it. 2.5 lbs. Or turn the pressure down.

[@ronjclm8590]

@@bmos212 of course those are options. Manufacturers don't recommend turning down the pressure or running at a slower RPM. And surfaces don't usually require 3500 psi. But all are options.

Hey brother, I am doing my research and looking to start my own soft wash/pressure washing business. Random question, are you able to stay decently busy in the winter or do you put it up for the winter? I'm in the south in TN so it doesn't necessarily matter but I am curious. Great Video and awesome set up from the last video I just watched haha

Hey George. I'm in upstate NY so I shut it down dec 1 and plow over winter. I start back up in April

[@DeusVultCult]

i’m gonna go out on a limb here and say they sell all those surface shlappers like that and most people maybe buy a 8gpm surface washer and run it on a 4-6gpm machine? just for the size? seems like you might be flying that thing soon with 2x 8gpm tips, hope it works tho haha
