Pressure Washing Flatbed Rig Setup

[@northjerseykevin409]

Impressive setup… looks like you’re all set and have it figured out.

[@ariesc3117]

you need to change your name to the mad scientist, wicked set up !

[@johnhall7940]

I got some new cool high tech stuff installed. Going to make another video soon.

[@IlluminatingThoughtTv]

I bought the AR 30 after watching your video about it. I love it thanks for sharing your experiences. Keep up the good work.

[@johnhall7940]

Awesome!

[@tedbettker2634]

Awesome rig

[@VictorPerez-vp9xu]

Nice set up! Also, nice headliner!

[@georgeyost7011]

You should keep the respirator in a SEALED ZIPLOK BAGGIE!!

[@johnhall7940]

I just bought a brand new respirator yesterday. It came with a ziplock bag. I’ll keep it in there. Thanks.

[@Woody-777]

New to all this,,,, why a zip lock bag ????

[@Ivann840]

Great setup man. Do you think 20 grand for the setup like yours is ok (that how much it would cost on pro wash equipment site). How much if i can ask you spend to build this rig?

[@johnhall7940]

My rig is a bit complicated. So there are small things that you don’t have to have. I think I spend about 13-14k including the truck. 20k is okay if you have cash ready to purchase. Whatever you do, do not finance anything. You should only buy what you can afford. I have zero debt in my business. I can’t imagine carrying a monthly payment during the slow season. That would be stressful. Building a rig yourself will be very educational. If you go through the hustle of putting everything together yourself. You will be able to troubleshoot every single issue.

If you are looking for a trailer or pickup truck skid I can build you one with no money down or money up front. You pay in full when you get your equipment

[@rakimbrown9465]

How did you install electric reels ?

[@johnhall7940]

I made a video about it. Explaining what to expect when installing them. They are actually on sale now for $300. I paid 375 each. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIWnZGCwjbSFqqs

[@rakimbrown9465]

I have to go through your videos and see how to install it

[@johnhall7940]

@@rakimbrown9465 I explained how to install them. But I never made a video. It’s very simple.

[@jonboysprowash7845]

Do you have to unreel the entire reel for the Flexzilla to get the right flow?

[@johnhall7940]

Yes. Because when you reel them up they collapse.

[@jonboysprowash7845]

@@johnhall7940 Thanks. That is what I was afraid of.

[@VancesPressureWashing]

@@jonboysprowash7845 I haven’t found a hose that doesn’t collapse

[@jonboysprowash7845]

@@VancesPressureWashing I’m thinking of using a poly braided hose. That way I know I will get a lot of years out of it and it doesn’t collapse. It’s a little high,but don’t mind to pay knowing it will last.

[@johnhall7940]

Those would be expensive. I like flexzilla hose. I have 100 ft on one reel and 150 ft on another.

[@seattleprowash5464]

why ar 30 over the ar 45? The ar30 is pretty much an 8gpm for house wash so that's why I didn't get it the ar45 will wash houses faster

[@johnhall7940]

Its 9.5 GPM. Yes AR45 will wash houses faster and start leaking faster as well. I see too many people complaining about them. The plastic parts are significantly thicker, fewer parts to break, and it gets up to 580 psi vs 290 psi on AR45. When you have lichen on gutters that are 30 ft off the ground, that extra 200 psi can help.

[@seattleprowash5464]

@@johnhall7940 idk know a bunch of people had them multiple years zero issues. Always start stop on the trigger, don’t run engine more than 5 minutes off trigger

[@seattleprowash5464]

Info on the clamps?

[@johnhall7940]

They are all metric, but they have the conversion chart mm to inches. www.amazon.com/17-19mm-T-Bolt-Clamps-Stainless-Adjustable/dp/B08FH7BJ2V

WOW! 1500 MILES...THAT'S SOME GOOD SHOT.

LOL, I meant feet.

[@michaelc7283]

What size is the flatbed on the truck?

[@johnhall7940]

Only 8x6. Fits in my 1 car garage.

[@michaelc7283]

@John Hall Ok, good to know. I'm looking for a flatbed truck. At the moment I'm using a trailer. It would be nice to have everything on a truck. Thanks

[@johnhall7940]

@@michaelc7283 flatbed is a way to go.

[@mikesh8968]

Like ur set up...but dubble feed is kinda not worth it

[@johnhall7940]

When I hook up one line, half the time my tank runs out of water. When I connect both hose my tank stays full.

[@pressurewashingandhoodcleaning]

the only bad thing is that if the truck brakes you cant clean

[@johnhall7940]

Yes, but trailers may also fails. That actually happened to me with my trailer. Trailer's Axle failed and was on the side of the road waiting for help.

[@johnhall7940]

Also, you want to get to the point where cancellations, bad weather and legitimate equipment problems put a smile on your face. It would mean that you can relax, spend a day or 2 with your family and not have to worry about working because you get so much business that it won't affect you financially. When I wake up in the morning and it starts raining like crazy, I enjoy it now. It's Great excuse to stay home and focus on other things.

[@gabesee387]

My brother in Christ you need new tires

[@johnhall7940]

I had them all replaced less than a year ago.
