Simpson 4200 PSI 4.0 GPM Pressure Washer with BE Whirl-A-Way Surface Cleaner (CRAZY TRANSFORMATION)

[@DustToGloryPW]

For people just watching this, this was my first experience with a surface cleaner. You always want to start the surface cleaner with one side up and you want to get the right tips on the surface cleaner so you don’t etch the top coat on the concrete. Pre treatment and post treatment always help with algae and brightening the concrete. If you want to see other videos you can check out my channel. I have more videos with my new trailer and we now do multiple Chick-fil-A’s weekly as well as residential properties. Thanks for watching!

[@divindave6117]

Tip for driveway washing. Start at the high point which is usually at the garage and pull the surface cleaner down hill slowly enough to clean in one pass. It will save you a lot of time, and stress on your lower back.

Just a note to keep it running, that pump doesn't have a clutch on it. When you stop spraying, the pressure is still building up in the pump and will eventually burn it. That was great for your first time out making some cash. Wish you the best with your new business venture.

[@dameronlyon6740]

Little thing I learned just offering any advice,if you treat afterwords(pretreating isn't nessicary because your actually removing a top layer of concrete)with warm water,sodium chloride(bleach) it will brighten up the concrete even more and take out any swirls and imperfections!

[@DustToGloryPW]

Yeah so ideally you don’t want to remove the cream coat on top of the concrete. We actually don’t hit concrete with pressure over 2500-2900. We always pre treat to kill the algae before we surface clean and then the post treatment helps brighten the concrete as well as blend any lines left behind.

I haven't used neither one, but to me it seems like a lot of the pressure washers are often the exact same if they have the same motors. Only difference really is in the pump itself and the amount of PSI its labeled as. If they have the same engines, and both put out the same gallons per minute (GPM), than they will basically be only differed by the stickers of the brand name. That's what I believe anyways.

The pressure on mine does change with the pressure regulator, you may check your manual to see if yours does or not.

[@istaygolden3017]

With that pressure regulator, what's the difference between high and low? Obviously high is that 4,000 psi but whats the lowest?

[@DustToGloryPW]

There isn’t a gauge on it so I’m not sure how low it goes but from what I understand now after washing for a while is you want to have the regulator open all the way to give the pump as much flow as you can. If you want lower PSI it’s better to change the tips on the bottom of the surface cleaner to a bigger size to lower the psi

[@intimeriseup5978]

Hey, good job, I just got the same PW, did you change the tips? Because 4gpm is meant for 16" surface cleaner. I was worried that maybe it wouldn't be strong enough to operate properly.

Be careful leaving your PW running like that - can overheat the pump or put it under stress. Keep it flowing 👌

[@chrisrubio2218]

Like how ?

[@MannyAguilarJr]

@@chrisrubio2218 the water pump cools with the flowing water. If you stop the flow by not using the wand or surface cleaner the water is going to go through the built in bypass, for this model, and circulate the water warming it up and getting hot. Heat in the water pump is what wears and destroys pumps. There is a thermal relief valve typically that will expel water from the side of the pump usually when water temperature is 140°F to save the pump. It's best practice if you're not using the water, to clean, to shut off the pressure washer no more than 2 minutes after you stop running water for cleaning. When you get to bigger more commercial set ups they have external bypass valves that can be re-routed to a buffer tank or the ground. So that way when you're not using the water for cleaning then new water still flows through the pump, through the bypass valve and hose, and into the buffer tank therefore keeping the pump cool and not needing to shut off the pressure washer when you're not using it.

Very nice perssure washer.

[@DustToGloryPW]

Thanks man that was my very first pressure washer. You can check out some of our newer videos to see our new rig. Well actually I’ve had it for almost a year now

[@lsbzcuz]

how many inch is that surface washer?

[@DustToGloryPW]

This is a 20” but you can run a 16,19 or 20 as long as it’s tipped right for the washer. 20 you have to move a little slower but it does work.

[@ryanscott9093]

I wouldnt go above 16 inch surface cleaner for 4gpm cuz it leaves marks very easily

[@DustToGloryPW]

That 20” made us a lot of money but we had to go slowwww. Now we run whisper wash classic 19” with a 6.5 gpm machine

[@oscarrafaelmartinezarguell7945]

my question or it could be a doubt, the water must be that of the house or you take your tanks, there are people who may not like that they use their water, because of the cost of the bill.

[@DustToGloryPW]

We’ve washed over 1000 properties and have only brought water for 1, we charge to bring water. Check with your city but typically for a house was a customer may pay an extra $1-5 for the water we use.

[@aceace2625]

How much did you charge for that driveway

[@DustToGloryPW]

It was free, it was my driveway lol

[@joshuabennett723]

Just an fyi man if you're not pulling the trigger on the gun you really should shut the engine off the pump uses the water to cool itself and if it runs without water circulation it will burn up

[@DustToGloryPW]

Thanks brother, this video is actually from over a year ago I believe. We now have a 6.5 gpm trailer mounted machine with a 330 gallon buffer tank with a bypass. But that’s great advice for newer guys that are just now seeing this video. Appreciate it!

[@AjF392]

With a 4GPM power washer you don't want to go larger than 16" for a surface cleaner to avoid striping, and pretreat the concrete with SH and a surfactant

[@DustToGloryPW]

I used a 20” for 6 months growing my business and it worked great, just a little slower. As long as you have the surface cleaner tipped right it would do just fine. 16-19” would be ideal though I agree

[@vegasmech9693]

You're going to burn up your pump letting it run while you move your cam and comment, recommended max time running is 2 min max idling.

[@andyjcoop]

Hello, Just getting into commercial work, my machine is on order and arriving soon. Can you clarify your comment if that's ok? Am after as much advice as possible. What your saying is just turn the machine off entirely instead of running the machine on idle?

[@Ryan-eo1dw]

Andy James 8 think it depends on the engine mate

[@jaken5545]

@@andyjcoop yeah never leave your machine on without squeezing the trigger(more than 2 minutes) it will make your pump overheat and then you will not be able to get any pressure at all (if your machine is direct drive).

Next time you purchase a pressure washer look me up. I can save you a lot of money on building your own. Until then there's a few things that you need to do to yours so that it will last A LOT longer before a valve job. Keep knocking it out of the park and thanks for sharing.

John Doherty Thanks John, I’ll keep you in mind for sure. I appreciate it sir

[@johndoherty8732]

@@DustToGloryPW Actually Brent after getting that awesome trailer rig you are good to go. I was just going to suggest putting your own machine together instead of buying complete. Also something small but makes a huge difference is using a proper unloader and not those one piece unloaders. Then either run the unloader bypass to the ground or buffer tank. Never let a unloader discharge right back into your pump it only takes seconds for it to over heat and ruin the seals.

[@LimaEchoEchoZz]

Realistically, on paper this shouldn't work as the machines flow is too low to power the fsc bar fat enough to not leave tiger stripes, good job!!

Don’t burn up your pump.

I didn’t, since then I have a new rig. You can see my latest videos to see the new trailer.

[@GatorJ.7122]

I believe the pressure washer is too small for that size surface cleaner. I believe the formula to determine the size is 4 inches per every gpm. The maximum size for a 4 gpm pressure washer would be 16 inches max.

[@DustToGloryPW]

That’s a good rule of thumb to go by, I used that surface cleaner for over a year and it never etched or left zebra stripes. You just have to go a little slower when cleaning concrete. We have a trailer mounted 6.5 gpm hot water machine now with a 19” whisper wash. There’s also alot of guys that run the 19” with 8gpm. It really matters what size tips you run on the surface cleaner not the size of the surface cleaner.
