So it turns out the Hudson just got stuck... No Issues with it since! Maybe just breaking in, I guess

The Hudson float valve likes to stick occasionally. Usually you can use your hand and move it up and down and it should operate and not overflow again. Also there is a filter on it. Most people remove it because it restricts flow to your tank. Will have to unscrew it to remove the filter. Hope that helps and doesn’t give you any more trouble.

nice set up bro..just got my rig done last year 4gpm with 55 buffer from car wash two reels ladder rack on a 5x8 works great..need to get a 12v this season.I think your 55 being so tall really helps push the water pressure to that direct drive alot!

Nice man!! Yeah that was the plan, to keep most of the water above the inlet port on the pump. Then let Gravity do the work!

I also had problems with a Hudson float valve. Switched to the Jobe Mega Flow and haven’t had any issues whatsoever. They are a little different since they have to be installed on the side of the buffer tank. Also, they cost about twice as as the Hudson but worth it in my opinion.

Thanks for the recommendation! I looked at the Jobe Valve last night. If the Hudson keeps messing up I will definitely try it!

@@steppspressurewashing To add to what arnie said, you definitely need an inline filter on your way into your buffer tank and then another between the tank and the washer. Never have too many filters.

@@steppspressurewashing Thanks. I didnt realize the 2nd one was the x-jet. So if I followed you correctly, the air being pulled by the x-jet shuts down your injector and you go into rinse mode. Good idea. I am looking at the flowpro, but your set up may be good as I am just starting, and could wait on the upgrade.
@steppspressurewashing6 ай бұрын
Im glad I could help!! Actually what closes the DSI is the back pressure caused by the smaller orifice on the x jet. The flow pro looks like a great addition, and is on my list of upgrades. It is not at the top simply due to price/value compared to other items I need.

@steppspressurewashing7 ай бұрын
Maybe it needs more of a vent than the lid provides. I will try filling it with the lid off, and see if that helps

It's been working perfectly ever since it stuck that day. Probably just breaking in, or a bit of plastic got stuck from where I cut the tank. Not sure, but it works now lol!

Where did you get the buffer tank and how much was it ?
@steppspressurewashing7 ай бұрын
I got the tank from an Agricultural supply store, and it was about $200 + tax. But it already had the bulk head fitting on the bottom which was nice!
