Hey the truth is you make it work. Glad you took time to share! Guys it’s not always going to go smoothly but Joe just killed it with the basic know how. 🎉

[@paulsuli3581]

Sounds like the x6 is the most Reliable. Imagine buying a super pump with No Warranty. Anyone else would have been Screwed. Thanks for your Videos.

[@jonboysprowash7845]

I have wondered how the Water Boss gun would do with a 12v. Now I know. Thanks 👍

[@Mike_Thorne]

Cant wait to see what the rig looks like next season!!

[@powerfulimprovements]

💪🏼💪🏼

[@DavidSunshineAquaWash]

5.3 gpm remco at $179 is the best. Just slap another on when it fails.

[@razur9065]

Good to see you again sir!

[@powerfulimprovements]

Hey, thanks!

[@FlashTechEngineering]

I Use 24v Everflo pump through Midwest 1 inch blend manifold with 3 way remote control and flushes system, use comet p40 for water rinse mode only no chemicals through the pump at all only water.. also has remote controlled stop/start running 5/8 hose .. , best system ever no problems at all super quick on jobs .. cheers David from Australia 👍

Jimmy told me what he is working on to replace the X6, and im hoping its what youre getting. Cant wait to see it run!! 👀 *hint* "12v diaphragm"

[@powerfulimprovements]

Secret information

[@johnhall7940]

I have 5.5 Remco, 24v and a Gas Roof Pump on my rig. Gas roof pumps are just on another level. I used to be DS guy for years. Now I don’t even downstream much anymore. Gas Roof pumps are just superior in every way when compared to electric systems. My 24v started leaking, I replaced one of the pump heads and now I only use it to transfer. 5.5 Remco is still going strong 2nd season. My D30 Gas roof pump worked great for 3 seasons with 0 issues. I’m now getting D40 to replace it.

[@Hurricaneharry518]

I put a p40 in place of my 24 volt. Game changer!

[@powerfulimprovements]

Maybe next season

[@softwashscience]

Can’t set the gun down tho and there are times you gotta set it down. Or maybe you have a remote control electric start on your gas roof pump?

[@Hurricaneharry518]

@@softwashscienceI bought my setup from Texas pressure washing and using the sesw 1” metering valves. I have the remote sh& soap valve. Texas has. I also bought the roof pump connection kit from them. It works great. Has 25’ of bypass. I can be off the gun for some time. No issues

[@johnmakbuilds]

I haven’t purchased any “big” items from them. We assemble almost everything but buy parts from various vendors and everything from Nozzles to manifolds to metering valves from them have been excellent quality. Responsive on emails. Because we buy parts that don’t require much for service I can’t say anything on service but they don’t skimp on quality. New products can have issues at first. We have seen this w automobiles for 50 years so we need to be fair on judgement so quickly. Not defending anyone. Just speaking as a business owner and how I hope our customers would think as well.

[@indigo_home_services]

I heard all the negative talk a couple years ago on both sides. Knowing there are a lot of people in this industry that still get mom to tie their shoes, I placed an order. I’ve ordered many more times and never had any issues and the products are great. I guess it’s further proof that there is no such thing as bad advertising.

[@mightycleanhousewash2833]

It’s mid season and glad you’re still busy. Ideas if you can recruit someone to do the errand. Take it to Napa and have it tested. Takes them 5 minutes or you can purchaser a tester and check.

[@powerfulimprovements]

Local Napa can’t do anything 24v. Been to every shop in town

Shocked that x6 lived through 2 years of JD abuse. Says allot for how stout that pump really is.

[@powerfulimprovements]

Truly

[@pennpressurethedirtyhomepr4344]

You just need to jump the battery with a good 12 volt battery with the 24 volt charger on to trick the charger to start charging just for 15 minutes or so. Residential chargers have a failsafe in them.

[@powerfulimprovements]

Good idea

[@johnmakbuilds]

I only have 7gpm Remco for roofs. 3/4 vallves & lines to 5/8 hose. Gets the job done but want upgrade to something else w out going to gas. Watching your videos to see new X6 set up.

[@SqueegeeCleanSteve]

I just found out if you go to Harbor Freight Tools and you get the 1 inch gas pump that they're selling that you use to pump out basements I found out that you can actually use that as a soft washing machine and it sprays like 9 gallons a minute

[@powerfulimprovements]

I saw that too. I know a local guy been using one for years batch mixing

[@TheDbell]

Which pump?

[@SqueegeeCleanSteve]

@@TheDbell that will be the one inch pump that they sell at Harbor Freight if you get all the materials to hook it up through the 1 inch line you can actually use it as a soft washing system

[@brianaird2193]

I saw that too and thought of that a few years ago and just hadn’t tried it, wish I had back then; could have given a long time review, lol. I like the idea of if you are on a big job and you have a pump failure and want to finish, just run and grab one for a couple hundred bucks and swap it in.

Joe take a charged battery and hook jumper cables from it to the battery that you run down. hook battery charger to charged battery. It will charge it unless battery is bad. Ive had to do this with a bunch of batteries. Especially optima batteries.

@powerfulimprovements have not tried that on 24 volt. Thought you were running a 12 volt battery sorry

[@jlservicesgroupinc]

there a very inexpensive way to run the super pump with the current set up you have and no additional batteries. PM me if you need help setting it up.

[@powerfulimprovements]

Series?

[@renukrewsoftwash5666]

Been there a few times with my truck

[@powerfulimprovements]

I’m sure

[@softwashscience]

This is why 24v pumps suck. You look at everything on your rig. It’s all 12 V power and can be charged with alternators either off of your truck or your pressure washers and you never have to plug anything in and everything works the same and charges the same. It’s all 12 V power. You throw a 24 V on your rig and you have to buy a different charging system. You have to plug it in and you can’t charge while you’re running and you can’t just run your whole system off of two heavy duty deep cycle Marines so then you have to find space for another battery. Remco‘s new pump is also a 24 V and as soon as they said that I know it would be a flop. It’s just not practical it doesn’t match anything else we run that’s poor planning by the manufacturers in my opinion.

[@powerfulimprovements]

Can’t disagree

[@calklobuchar]

What do you do in the winter to not die of Bordom

[@powerfulimprovements]

We barely had one this past year but normally I rebuild equipment and prep my processes.

[@Hurricaneharry518]

Just goes to show that being a high rolling pressure washer that you need back up systems for everything as chit just plain breaks!

[@powerfulimprovements]

Yep. Need redundant systems

[@Hurricaneharry518]

You might have to connect the dead battery to a good one so it will take a charge with the charger you have.

Hey Joe, I recently got a K7 unloader for my 8gpm. I had a problem with the 3/8 bypass line blowing after a week of use. I initially tried a 1/2 bypass line but ran into the surging problem. Any insights on where to go from here?

Are you using a decent 3/8 braided hose. I’ve blown several also. I use a 10 footer

[@michaellitteral]

@@powerfulimprovements it was a reinforced tubing from Rural King. I was using about 14 feet

I am totally amazed that the water boss gun is working with the 12 V pump. I tried doing it on my system 12 V 7 gallon per minute pump and it did not spray but 10 feet I’m using half inch hose. I wonder if a 5/8 hose would increase the volume and pressure. Do you know what size nozzle is inside that gun?
