Our Mobile Auto Detailing Water Tank Setup

[@lilymalacon944]

Other than getting the hose connector turned around (watch out for that one), the machine is simple to put together and use kzbin.infoUgkxfQauTxLT0JLSvqkq10rD79TU4k0Vz8zP . And very nice, too. I'm surprised at the power-it's more than we'll ever need, and we've not even used the most powerful setting yet.I've cleaned off a dirty concrete porch to get it ready for sealing, started to clean siding, and I know this pressure washer will be terrific for cleaning tools this fall.The only issue we had is we had turned around the hose connector, and it leaked. Once it was on correctly, though, we had no problems with the connection. Just remember that the end with the green knob goes towards the hose. It's obvious now what we did wrong, but not necessarily obvious at the time.

[@mahdial4600]

Literally best video on KZbin explaining a mobile setup thank you.

[@ChromaticGarage]

Thanks Mahdi! I appreicta that. Hope it helped in some way!

[@waparadupau]

Can I use a Champion 3500 watts? The only difference is that I want to use a Kranzle 1600 psi

[@anthonypaul5210]

Hated when I used to go to customers houses using the gravity fed system with experience you’ll learn that if you shorten your hose and keep your tank pretty filled to the top you won’t have those issues ever but I know I’ll do it this way since it doesn’t really matter how much water you have in the tank I tend to do 2 to 3 cars a day is more than enough water for me always trying to use as little water as possible awesome video.

[@Nattethan]

Please! Always make sure to have a fire extinguisher in your setup when you're working with a generator.

[@AMindInOverdrive]

Looks great! I love the idea of every cable and hose being on a reel; So quick to set up and tidy up - saves time

[@thetraindriver01]

Looks good so far, if you mount the cannons and lance on the door it would be much easier access to something you would use each time you use the van, putting them further back would be a pain to climb in to reach them all the time 👍 looking forward to seeing how it develops 👍👍

[@ChromaticGarage]

Thats exactly what I was thinking as well, thanks for your input! Have a great weekend!

[@raphaelsanchez4797]

You did keep this video quick and to the point, and I appreciate that. It was wonderfully done and extremely helpful. Thanks so much for doing it and keep up the great work. You're a natural in front of the camera.

What brand is that jet pump? And since it's been 5 years since this video was published, how did the jet pump held up and how about the sunjoe pressure washer?

[@Skidmark0303]

YES A WATER TANK. Everyone casually mentions it but never goes into *detail* about water tanks.

[@DETAILINGDETAILING-hb7bj]

nice video waiting to see the one with your water filtration system in shop and filling 100 gallon storage tank

[@ChromaticGarage]

Thanks buddy! Coming soon!

[@yamlcase230]

nice setup! my only concern is with that tank. I didn't really see anything preventing forward motion which would pretty much be lights out in an accident. Welding a steel bar might be the best thing.

[@99PANES]

Right!? It looks to me like it's secured to wood 🤔

[@48Detailing]

Love it man! Just ordered the sunjoe a few days ago for a pretty good deal!

[@ChromaticGarage]

Thanks buddy! For the price I don't think we can go wrong, the pressure is perfect for cars and the gloss green body with some Beadmaker on it is mint haha. Just about to check out your new video!

Best video yet , on set up. 🤘🏽👌🏾👌🏾

[@TheEspritGV]

Great set up!! Just one question. Let you run the power unit in the van? Where is the outlet of the exhaust? I'm looking for a solution for my set up. Thanks in advance for your answer. Keep up the good work.

[@gavindottellis7188]

How do you guys clean the water tank without unhooking everything? I have pretty bad stuff in the bottom of mine and need it cleaned was wondering if there was anything without unhooking everything.

[@elisscaliving5864]

Gavin Dottellis you have to take it out

[@mattfranks6]

Hi I have a question, can use the hose like a regular hose without the pressure washer wand? Like can you set the pressure washer on low and produce a similar pressure as you would get from a normal house hose? Thank you for any help, it seems hard to find this information but some customers don't want you to use the pressure washer wand if it's a classic car/custom paint job.

[@spotifyisokay2643]

Great video, thanks for the helpful information. Subbed 👍🏽

[@gaelmartinezj5496]

how many gallons is the tank

[@danielsandozequi7295]

Brother if you can give me a list of all the hoses/Quick disconnects/connections from pressure wahser to the water tank. It will be really appreciated. Trying to make mine as nice as yours.

[@jesuslondono9473]

I couldn’t buy the 4000 watts Generator I bought one that was stronger that’s the only one they had in stock I believe it was like 6000 and change my question is can I still use a 1/3 HP jet pump or what do you recommend?

[@ChromaticGarage]

The 1/3HP is relative to flow not how big your generator is

[@benjaminestell3064]

But what jet pump do u use and how do you get water out of the pump when finished? I see others using a return line back to the tank...I'm in the market for a pump. Don't want to do gravity feed.

[@brianb5792]

Helpful video. Where you get the connection for the outlet on the sunjoe pressures washer where the hose connects to go to the hose reel? I have a ar blue clean and to my understanding electric pressure washers outlets are not the same m22 connect as the gas pressure washer. Any suggestions or links would be helpful. Thanx again

[@laughsandwich3842]

Love the setup, thinking of doing something similar, but what is the exact generator model, cant seem to find the champion 4000 watt generator qith 4 outlets like in the video.

[@samaedo5341]

Have you used this set up with the kranzle? Does the generator pump out enough power for it as well? Thanks guys!!! Love the vids, trying to get my set up going as well! Super helpful

[@ChromaticGarage]

I actually have not! I would assume it would be very similar but that is definitely something I will have to test out. I hope your set up is coming to together man!

[@samaedo5341]

Chromatic Auto Detailing thank you! Looking forward to your testing if you end up doing it!

[@bradevans8714]

do you have the generator running during an entire mobile detailing session? or do you turn it off when not needed and then turn it back on? do you have a secondary spout to fill buckets and stuff or do you just do that with the pressure washer hose?

[@Revo2Evo]

can you explain in detail about the pump I’m very interested to know how the pump works also does the water have to be filtered and where do you get the water from if so is 150 foot reel overkill? could you use 100?

[@danmorrissette4814]

Really like Your setup, its fun to see the van project coming along, step by step.. !! That tank full of water will be like 1/2 ton !! Loll!! like your generator also, Champion are a good bang for the buck and have good customer service !! :-)

[@ChromaticGarage]

Thank goodness for 8 lug solid axles haha. Definitely! We have been using the Champion for just over a year with not a single problem. It's also decently quiet, never any early morning complaints.

[@AndysAutoCarePlus]

Nice looking good.

[@ChromaticGarage]

Thanks Bro! Hope you're having a good week!

[@45cop]

Good video. I was just considering purchasing a jet pump from HD. I currently have a Wayne battery operated pump. Strong pump but it runs through batteries like no tomorrow. I bought a 120V AC power pump from Harbor Freight and it burned out after about a month. What brand is your jet pump? I was considering one made by Wayne.

[@bobbymelanson]

Hey Man...was checking out this older video you made and was wondering if you suggest a jet pump for the Kranzle pressure washer or if the Kranzle’s are equipped to avoid the priming issue you mentioned. Thx Chromatic!

[@ChromaticGarage]

I would suggest one with all pressure washers. There isn't much point spending a rack on a pressure washer and then ask it to do something it wasn't intended for.

[@bobbymelanson]

@@ChromaticGarage makes perfect sense to me. Gracias!

Do you leave your generator inside your vehicle on jobs, or do you set it outside?

[@alfreddennis7980]

I really like to set up it's easier to get to mote convenience

[@pxs6654]

I’m not so sure about the safety regarding that water tank installation. The tank might stick to the platform you built but I’m guessing the platform will come loose from the vans floor in a crash. The screws used will snap clean off on impact.

[@jong7064]

I was watching your SunJoe review and saw that you took out the jet pump from this set up. What was your reasoning and has there been any draw backs. I have all the same equipment to mount to a trailer and am wondering if I should just go with gravity fed as well. I figured with the jet pump you could have a lower pressure water source to use while not using the pressure washer if needed.

[@josholand]

great job guys!! I love the setup!
