How to Gravity Feed Pressure Washer [ Tutorial ]

[@Skdjiejxuje]

Also the kranzle can be mounted 3 feet higher than the water source and it will still be safe to use and you don’t have to purge the air our the way you did, according to the kranzle company they can run completely dry for 1 hour without any damage.

[@CardosCarDose]

Ive originally had it higher in my old van set up and I always heard the machine working extra hard. Which is why i prefer it lower, I dont want to do more frequent service 😂

[@Danny-xj5ts]

@@CardosCarDose Interesting I was planning on mounting mine above my tank...

[@marambula]

nice instruction! well thought out setup with good explanation on how to prime the feed hose and the pump itself.

I agree with most of what you said (not hating) the consumer grade pressure washers are not good for gravity this is so true. However i use a pump with my Gas pressure washer as we have to detail in different situations, and LOVE it. I don't feel it to be a hard situation to be in to use a pump at all. This video is very good though for beginner information and Gravity fed if that's the route you must Go. Great work!!

[@CardosCarDose]

Thanks for the feedback champ! 😎🤙 Definitely a handy tutorial for those starting out

[@RodneyCooperFilmz]

What pump are you using for your setup?

[@CardosCarDose]

A small powered pump. It will help for lower powered machines. Don't directly connect it to the pressure washer, have another feed going back to the tank so it doesn't overload your pressure washer Here is the link on amazon: amzn.to/4aDJ0YG

Great video right to the point

Luck 🍀

[@Prodigyautodetailing]

I have the same kranzel people keep telling me me I need a pump 😅 but I see plenty of people doing gravity feed no issues

[@CardosCarDose]

Kranzle can handle it, those people are a little 🧠 😵‍💫

[@AutoDetailingTherapy]

AWESOME VIDEO!!! Best one thus far i've watched. Very detailed about gravity fed and tutorial. If you don't mind me asking and maybe you can help me with this. I have a AR blue clean ar630 pressure washer. Will this setup that you have work for my system as well? If it does, i'll be making some orders for these connectors lol. Thank you in advance.

[@CardosCarDose]

If you know it has a self priming pump, then yes it should work 👍 Before buying anything test it out with a regular garden hose first. If it works then you can get all the fittings 🤙

[@TaeKenDo]

If you have access to the building water source as well, can you use a 'T' connector so the tank is the back up in case of lags during use ? I want to purchase a 9.2 GPM unit but building supply is no where near that so the tank would take up the slack if there is a lull and hopefully prolong the use of the pump as well as give a consistent flow rate. I want to use my system for sewer jetting as well as concrete power washing. P.S. GREAT close-up detailed tutorial by the way. One of the best ones on KZbin I've seen.

[@CardosCarDose]

I am not too sure about using that T connector for machines at that high GPM rating 🤔 I would suggest reaching out to other folk who specialize in those fields for additional information. For detailing just a single tube is more than enough as typical pressure washers for detailers never exceeded three GPM 😌 Thank you for the feedback! 🙌

[@richardreynolds9985]

Is there a certain hose distance you recommend from the tank to the pressure washer? Looks like you have about half a foot

[@CardosCarDose]

Nope! As long as it has a proper connection and the water can flow freely to the machine, it will be perfectly fine 👍 I once had my tank on the van but my machine was on the sidewalk. I used a 25ft garden hose, connected it to the machine, and worked! The principal remains the same as long as the machine is at a lower or equal height as the tank.

[@mr.inventhor6771]

very thorough walk through great video. Im wondering if there is any alternative for a kranzel pressure washer something more budget?

[@CardosCarDose]

That would be the AR line up. You can get more information about it over at Obsessed Garage youtube channel 👍 Same performance, just different price point

[@JoshuaSeminario]

Great video, question what power source did you use for your pressure washer pump?

[@CardosCarDose]

The pump I have only draws about 200 W of power. You can easily hook this up to a gas, battery, or an outlet. 👍 Used it with my Delta Pro 🔋

[@joshdown.93]

I have 3300 dewalt that I'm trying to gravity feed with a 55 gal drum won't work

[@CardosCarDose]

There are some trouble shooting methods to try out if your having problems 🤔 1. Place machine lower than the tank outlet port. 2. Avoid using wide low profile tanks as there is not enough water weight for gravity feeding 3. if nothing works, you may need an external pump Hopefully this helps somehow 🙏

[@jakebowlan310]

I have a question. After you first prime the Kranzle can you leave the water flowing through the machine even when it’s off. Or should you always close both valves and release all the pressure and water out of the machine before using it again?

[@CardosCarDose]

You can leave it flowing with water, there is no problem there 😎 However, I would suggest just releasing the pressure on the gun. You don't need to empty it completely, just a quick press on your gun and it will release all the pressure ✅

[@jakebowlan310]

@@CardosCarDose Thank you. I have one more question. I have The EvoFlow delta Pro and sometimes the Kranzle won’t turn on. I believe i have the same model Kranzle as you aswell. Any ideas?

[@CardosCarDose]

I have a 1322TS. Make sure you are not using extension cords that are not compatible. Also to hit the reset switch on the outlet. Other than that, probably a service might be needed 🤔

[@ArthurMSoto]

The pressure washer would only need primed on the initial first use of the gravity fed system, correct?

[@CardosCarDose]

That is correct! 👍 Only because the air is trapped within the hose. Best to play it safe the first time ✅

[@ArthurMSoto]

Could you provide insight on why air keeps building up in my line? I primed it like you need to, but after use and driving it forms a bubble near the pressure washer even though vent is closed to get through. using an active 2.0 with no pump

[@CardosCarDose]

I am not too entirely sure, and that has happened to me on several machines. What I do before starting a job is to release the pressure, shooting water back into the tank and keep cycling it until the air is released. You can also check if the hose is too high up, as air naturally goes in that direction

[@ArthurMSoto]

@@CardosCarDose I release the pressure and it goes away usually, but sometimes the pressure washer will even just stop working and i moved it around and it started again. Still testing the kinks but it’s a struggle lmao

[@CardosCarDose]

@ArthurMSoto You do have to keep in mind that the Active PW is a consumer grade product and was not designed to draw water from a tank. Yes, many detailers have shown it working, but you should expect some technical difficulties since the pump is having to work 2 to 3 times harder to draw and push water consistently. I had a similar machine that worked fine for for a couple of jobs, but I noticed it was hiccuping a lot with pressure drops, stuttering, and sometimes just not working. 🧐 I have no way of confirming if an active machine has long-term issues with its designed motor, so all I can really say is to keep an eye out for it

[@ArthurMSoto]

@@CardosCarDose that’s a fair point! My expectations aren’t crazy high i just want a working setup to abuse for a little until i get into a van with a better design 😂

[@CardosCarDose]

@ArthurMSoto Completely understandable and I would definitely advise to work with what you have. Yeah, it's not as rigid and reliable as a Kranzle, but what matters is that your current machine jumpstarts with what you have 👍 Once you grow more, can you then make the decision to upgrade 💯

[@SqueegeeFX]

Could you use this set up for a water fed pole while using the Kranzel PW ??

[@CardosCarDose]

I have no way of confirming this because I do not have a water fed pole/brush. I would suggest asking those who have a mobile set up and use that tool.

[@SqueegeeFX]

Thank you

[@H2r9]

Would a karcher k4 work with a gravity fed system w a tank

[@CardosCarDose]

I have never owned own so I have no saying if it would work or not. Wont hurt to try with simple plumping if you have a tank available. Or you can ask a detailer that happens to have that same model as yours. 🤔

[@makycaris4672]

What is the best way for advertising? Is it good to use Yelp Angi leads google ads?

[@CardosCarDose]

I am the wrong person to ask that question LOL I would suggest contacting DetailGroove as he is a specialist in that field 👍

[@js6033]

Do you think the Active 2.0 can work without a pump like this?

[@CardosCarDose]

Ive seen people done it, but considering it is a consumer focused machine and is not repairable expect the lifespan to be halved 🤔

[@JC_On_The_Road]

How do I know if the pressure washer as the water pump ?

[@CardosCarDose]

You need to contact the manufacturer to be certain. For sure the high end Kranzle machines have em, but I can not be certain about others. 🤔

[@jakebowlan310]

What kind of barb fitting did you use to connect the tubbing?

[@CardosCarDose]

They are one inch from Lowes. the larger the diameter the greater the flow of water. 👍

Same exact process, just be mindful where the exhaust is pointing. dont wanna melt something.

[@MrGsxr10001]

What makes you think that little pressere washer does'nt have a pump in it? If it didnt have a pump it wouldnt make pressere. LOL! Thats funny.........

[@CardosCarDose]

Not "pump" as in the motor that is outputting the pressure, there is another part in the machine that draws the water from the source. Detailers just call it pump for the sake of simplicity.
