Thank you

Nice bro

[@carlosainychernandez3033]

Super helpful. Very informative. Thank you

[@PressureCleaningSch]

Thank you

[@anthonyelvy3213]

Hey mr Rucker thanks for all the information, it’s so valuable to all of us who are just beginning, the shelf on the side what kind of material and where can I get it. Thanks again for everything.

[@PressureCleaningSch]

It’s aluminum and comes as part of the skid system for truck beds

[@ismailebrahim2735]

thanks for the great and very helpful info

[@PressureCleaningSch]

Thank you for watching and commenting. Much appreciated

[@mikebutler7476]

Hey my name is Mike. I bought Doug Ruckers online course. It was worth every penny. I have a Government job, so I power wash part time. I didn’t have time to waste trying to figure out everything on my own. This course cut down my learning curve immensely. Not to mention, I probably would have messed up someone’s house if I wouldn’t have taken it, no joke. Thanks Doug. Mike the Army guy.

[@PressureCleaningSch]

Thank you Mike. So glad it’s helped and is exactly the reasons I offer the online school.

[@littlespressurewashing]

Great video and build bro 😎

[@PressureCleaningSch]

Thank you

[@charlestuozzo4747]

That is a great skid. You guys build the skids or have a diy skid kit like the one in the video?

[@PressureCleaningSch]

We build them. I don't really have a DIY skid because so much is determined by the options available and what the customer wants. We have shipped them DIY though once we know what all they want and they feel comfortable with and have the knowledge and experience doing the build themselves.

[@kwesidavidson7131]

great setup what will a setup like this cost ?

[@PressureCleaningSch]

Anywhere from 12-17k depending on what all you want

[@henrypastor8691]

Man them lil plastic fittings an valves an all that other stuff gets expensive

[@PressureCleaningSch]

It adds up for sure

[@MrDarrinSmith]

Thanks

[@PressureCleaningSch]

Welcome

[@uption5]

Do you guys build skids for other people

[@PressureCleaningSch]

Yes we sure do

[@uption5]

@@PressureCleaningSch That's really awesome What's the best way to get in contact with you guys so I might be able to get a Estimate

Very nice Doug! Thanks for sharing love your videos!

[@PressureCleaningSch]

Thank you. Appreciate it

[@ktpowerwashing]

I like the pump ups in the 5 gallon buckets. Pump up sprayers are typically a pain in the butt to store. I did the milk crates for a while but they are not multi purpose like a 5 gallon bucket can be.

[@PressureCleaningSch]

Yeah. That’s an old long time trick. For trailers I like using large pieces of pvc pipe and fasten them to trailer.

[@mrkashis32]

Awesome video of your setup looks great

[@PressureCleaningSch]

Thank you

[@Johnnyreengo]

I was going to get a f250 but found out i can just get bigger springs for my f150

[@PressureCleaningSch]

Awesome. We put air bags in all our trucks

[@jesusson3475]

Can you give me that link for Aluminum skid

[@PressureCleaningSch]

Don’t have a link. You can email me at [e-mail] and I can shoot you back a price

[@vincentsearle665]

Are those 4 - 12' hose reels. Very detailed walk through

[@PressureCleaningSch]

Yes they are

[@vspd303]

Good video. You should consider selling a step by step instructional video on building a unit

[@PressureCleaningSch]

Yes I’ve been asked that and working on it. Very time consuming

[@LizzieTheGOAT]

Another great informative video Mr. Rucker, I building my rig and learned a lot today like those hoses connected to the SH tank.

[@PressureCleaningSch]

Right on

[@Majicman187]

Love the channel brotha, I am soft washing a 4 story building but keep coming short on the length of reach for the chemicals to be effective on a heavily soiled roof, any suggestions on a rig to reach?

[@PressureCleaningSch]

What are using now?

[@Majicman187]

A 12v 5.5gpm everflow pump . It does not go very far. Great for 1 story houses.

[@PressureCleaningSch]

@@Majicman187 what hose size and nozzle. I’d recommend using 5/8 hose. And 0040 or 0050 nozzle. You should be able to get 2 almost 3 stories with that pump.

[@Majicman187]

I fitted a 5/8 garden hose to the pump and using a Gilmore metal basic gun, I put fittings on it to use pressure washer tips like the soap tip. (All to save every penny I have) I’m doing a bank roof to finish out a complete total bank Properity wash, but it’s 2 story tall and the roof length is extreme to get to the center, I would love to do the majority of the roof from the ground. I spent so much time putting this system together just to come short.

[@PressureCleaningSch]

@@Majicman187 ok so sounds like it’s a nozzle issue. Really need to try the 0040 or 0050 nozzle. That will get you a straighter stream and should give you the distance your looking for. That pump should give you 30-40 feet easily

[@ronjclm8590]

Nice video. One point: My Ace Roto-mold (SP0055-MM) 55 gallon tall square bottom tanks ARE marked at 5 gallon increments. Norwesco ( 44855) also says that their 55 gallon tall square bottom tanks have gallon increments marked. Mine are embossed and only on one side. I highlighted mine with a permanent marker.

[@PressureCleaningSch]

Great point. Every tank I’ve bought has had the scale on them. You can buy them without but I don’t see the point. We did at one time highlight the numbers too, but the marker wears off and we just eventually found we never needed to keep doing it. We poition the tank so we can see the scale if we need to

[@GreaterVisionFarms]

Why is there spray foam in the rungs of the ladder?

[@PressureCleaningSch]

Elimates the noise made by the air going through the rungs when traveling kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqitiZ2FgrSfoLc

[@Jake-vq5kr]

What size truck do you recommend for softwash/pressure wash business startup with limited money? Are midsized trucks too small? If I get a Chevy 1500 wt or F150 do I need a long bed? Thanks for your time!

[@PressureCleaningSch]

King bed would of course be much better as you’ll more room. But a shirt bed will certainly work. Depending on what all you put in it you may want add air bags for the rear shocks.

[@Igor-q3f]

Do you cover any outlets, cameras, ceiling fans? What tape do you recommend not to pull paint? Thank you

[@PressureCleaningSch]

Yes. There is an amazon link in the video description for the tape we use

[@yauwsh]

Great video Doug. Do you sell the skid? I don't see it in your store.

[@PressureCleaningSch]

I do if we are building one out. If not I can hook you up with a guy I get mine from. They are the best and I wouldn’t buy one from anybody else

[@yauwsh]

@@PressureCleaningSch Could you provide pricing for building one out.

[@PressureCleaningSch]

@@yauwsh sure can. Email me at [e-mail] Let me know what equipment do you want on it

Will the king slinger work with the NorthStar Gas Cold Water Pressure Washer - 4200 PSI, 3.5 GPM, Honda Engine And i have a NorthStar Gas-Powered Air Compressor - Honda GX270 OHV Engine, 8-Gallon Twin Tank, 14.9 CFM @ 90 PSI Will they work with the king slinger .... i have a hydro scrubber from north star just wondering how i can put it all together.... I detail cars now but i want to hydro scrub and wash houses with detail ...

[@kayaking_j448]

Great video! Sorry if I missed it but what size water tank were you running with for that setup?

[@PressureCleaningSch]

80 gallon slim line

[@kayaking_j448]

@@PressureCleaningSch thanks! Has that been enough or do you wish you had gone with a 100 or bigger?

[@PressureCleaningSch]

@@kayaking_j448 it’s been enough. Only time we have ever had an issue is if the water supply was bad but no matter what tank size you have in the water supply is bad you’re gonna have an issue. Of course it’s not ideal if you have to haul Water from one end of a property to the other, but as long as we have constant water supply we’ve never had a problem

[@backintimepressurewashing180]

Awesome set up! Question.. are you still using a normal drum pump for getting bleach into your pump up.. and do you have some kind of drain line for water for the other 50% of the 5050 mix?

[@PressureCleaningSch]

We use either the Kingslinger to get mix into a pump up. Or when filling out tank we can add some to the pump up and then add water w a garden hose.

[@GoldenState408]

Doug - i noticed on alot of these customer trailers/ softwash , and i remember on your trailer. You had an EXTERNAL Silver Fuel tank. Would you be able to do a video on how install a EXTERNAL Fuel tank and plumb it to the King Slinger by chance?

[@mansfieldservices319]

Awesome video. Didn't Ford Pintos catch fire very easily in low speed rear end accidents, because the gas tank was in the back?

[@ga-prowashllc12.5]

Doug that was a great video brother great informative I have one question where can you buy the aluminum materials to build your own wash Skid I live near Augusta Georgia I've been checking online I have no luck yet I'm thinking about going with the10gpm on the new Honda igx800 great video clean looking setup keep up the good work brother

[@PressureCleaningSch]

Google Metal fabricators in you area dn star calling them and asking....you should be able to find someone that can steer you in the right direction.

[@LukasD1985]

Hey Doug, this is my first year power washing and I’m about to upgrade to a set up like you have. One question I have is do you put degreaser in your tank too? I’ve been using 5 gallon buckets with 2oz soap and 2oz degreaser.

[@PressureCleaningSch]

I never add degreaser to my bleach. I use a surfactant. Kings Kling available on my sight.

[@LukasD1985]

Hey Doug, thanks for all the great info! I wish I would have came across your videos a long time ago! With that remote downstream bypass, how do you rinse out your downstream injector? Or do you even need to with that check valve?

[@PressureCleaningSch]

Every time I switch the remote to rinse it is rinsing out the injector. So the injector actually gets rinsed out multiple times on a job.

[@johnwitt586]

Hi Doug, I just subscribed to your channel! You did a great job on explaining your skid setup! Putting the colored arrows on the pic. was nice. Who built the aluminum skid and ladder rack assembly?

[@Workingcockers]

Hey Doug, In my area, I need a large water tank. We often have to carry water to wash a house and need a minimum 275 gallon tank. Can this set up be equipped with a larger water tank? Also, houses on municipal water supplies sometimes have less water pressure than we need. I love this set up. I have a friend that used to have a power washing business down in Katy, TX, he’s now a dog trainer and not power washing. When I went down there to help him set up his business years ago, I noticed that all the power washing businesses in the Katy and Houston areas didn’t need large water tanks. Every house was on a municipal supply and the pressure was excellent. Thanks.

[@PressureCleaningSch]

Yes it could be as long as the tank will fit inside the utility bed. But that’s going to seriously limit your space in the bed
