Great video bro easy to understand 👍 Subbed up ✅

[@ExpertPowerWash]

Thank you! Glad it helped.

What tips in a Jrod work best for softwash?

[@ExpertPowerWash]

Every setup will be a little different. Pump type and size makes a big difference. Tips must be matched the pump. Many people make this mistake and just use a general size.

[@sean626262]

Would you use a 1/2 inch pipe even for a 7 gpm pump ?

[@ExpertPowerWash]

Yes no issues

[@dantec8854]

Where did you get the j-rod from

[@ExpertPowerWash]

We sell them

[@chadbcavanaugh]

I’ve got stainless steel 1/2 swivels to go on the bottom of your wand

[@ExpertPowerWash]

That’s a great addition.

[@chadbcavanaugh]

If you want some, let me know.

[@ExpertPowerWash]

Will do. Do you have a site? I’ve seen the mosmatic 1/2 stainless swivels. They are nice to have but not really necessary. We use them on our pressure washer hoses.

[@chadbcavanaugh]

I don’t. I own A-Quick Pressure Washing up north here in Skagit County. My local supplier has them though, and I thought it was super helpful on the bottom of my gun from my chem hose getting kinked up, takes a lot of side pressure off of your wrists.

[@ExpertPowerWash]

Great points. May look into something like that. I appreciate your help.

Would this gun work for the new 24v 10gpm pumps?

[@ExpertPowerWash]

Yes. It’s all 1/2 inch. It comes down to just having the right nozzle size.

[@nicholasrispo6588]

@@ExpertPowerWash I talked to the northern tool associate, he said their version of the j-rod will work. But when I received it the package said max 5.5 gpm. Very interested to see if it works

[@ExpertPowerWash]

Interesting seems like you got the wrong size. It will spray but it might put too much back pressure on the pump. Seems like a big difference from 5.5 and 10 GPM. Give it a shot and see how it sprays.
