The Secret to 12V Distance

[@codycarroll5600]

Great video. So many people bash 12 volt systems but have only seen an everflo 5.5 with all 1/2" plumbing with leaks through a garden hose nozzle at the end.

[@TexasPressureWashing]

Thanks!

[@eddiekramarcik6757]

I tell everyone this. That why we started 12 volt soft wash 101. Everyone blames the pump when it’s the plumbing. Wtg

[@TexasPressureWashing]

Agreed. I still prefer gas soft wash systems but they also have a lack of industry knowledge hurting the use of them.

[@northjerseykevin409]

Cool. Impressive numbers. You said you don’t wash with those. How come? What do you prefer to wash with? Thanks

[@danielxrivera1333]

I bought a 5.5gpm 12v northern tool and used it for roof wash but barely got any distance with pressure washing gun and black tip. What can i do so it shoots farther? All hose on it are 3/4in

[@pandagaming4u]

So run 1 in pumbing up until you hit the pump? My pump is 5gm the input and export are 3/4 fittings though.

[@Youyuppers]

My pump cycles when I use a certain shooter tip. What would cause this? Any help?

[@littlespressurewashing]

Very informative bro keep putting out the positivity and helpful stuff and see ya in Nashville brother

[@TexasPressureWashing]

Thanks! Will do! Yes sir see you soon!

[@sniffy45]

I run the everflo 5.5 and is plumbed 1" currently. I just bought a 1/2 manifold and was advised to replumb everything to 1/2". My hose is 5/8. I'm so confused now and already purchased everything. I dont really care if I lose a little distance just dont want ot see a drastic difference. I downstream most things anyway.

[@jeradschmit672]

Im looking to finallly build a softwash system. What proportioners do you suggest? What are good pumps and what pumps should i stay away from? Im looking for beginning to medium grade. Not in the market for the best of the best at the moment.

[@TexasPressureWashing]

I recommend a 3/4" or 1" proportioner for any system. I like the Remco pumps. 5.5 or 7gpm pumps at 100psi will perform best.

[@Scott.Farkus]

@Texas Pressure Washing What PSI are the checks valves you used on parallel setup? I'm going to plumb 2x 7 gpm 100 psi Delavan pumps in parallel, I'm not sure how the pressure switches are going to react with 2 pumps plumbed into 1 line.

[@ktpowerwashing]

Want to plumb a 5.5gpm 60psi into an existing 1" blend manifold that we use with a p40. Will the manifold bypass cause issues? Obviously only using 1 pump at a time never both at the same time.

[@TexasPressureWashing]

You will need to choke the water and SH down.

[@joshuamckinley8707]

So with proper plumbing as outlined in this video a single 12v 7gpm pump can reach 50 ft? Is there any difference in distance when spraying vertically as opposed to horizontally?

[@TexasPressureWashing]

Yes

[@joshuamckinley8707]

@@TexasPressureWashing Thanks. Can you tell me the difference between the pumps you used in the video and the Remco 5518-2I1-94A? All the specs seem to be the same. Wondering if one is somehow better than the other.

[@HouseWashingRick]

Will this work on a 5.5 gpm remco pump connected to a Midwest proportioner??

[@henrydixon3159]

why do my Delavan 12v 7.0gpm 100psi pump cuts off and on it has pressure coming from my yellow tip but the motor cut on and off this is a new setup for soft wash.

[@TexasPressureWashing]

Likely pressure switch or restricting too much.

[@danielcatches9376]

Do you think two of them pumps running together would work better than a 24 V North star, I seen a lot of bad reviews about the North Star. Does the remcos work really good?

[@dantec8854]

What's in the kit?,Can you put a Link to the dual system box set up

[@corymoore4245]

Hi, would 1” suction hose be too much flow for a 5.5 gpm remco? Thanks

[@premierpowerwashing6634]

Putting together my 100 PSI remco. I've got a 3/4 proportioner from Jimmy Hall. Do you recommend running a 1" suction from the SH and water tanks or 3/4? My hose is 5/8 with 1/2npt crimped on from Lori. Don't know if I should ditch the crimps or keep them. Also not sure if I should bypass the reel with some camlocks or go through the reel.

[@TexasPressureWashing]

Either 3/4" or 1" works. 1/2" NPT on a 5/8" hose is standard and what I use. We plumb through the reel. You can bypass it or use a 1" high flow reel if desired.

[@premierpowerwashing6634]

@@TexasPressureWashing Great this is helpful information. Thanks! 🙏

Great video. ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you! 🤗

CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT I NEED TO GET 50FT DISTANCE? I HAVE A,12VOLT SET UP WITH PROPORTTIONER VALVES WITH 1/2 HOSES AND 1/2 PLUMMING

[@TexasPressureWashing]

Change the plumbing to 3/4" the valves to 3/4" and use a 5/8" soft wash hose.

[@alvinwhitlock4306]

Can you answer a comment

[@TexasPressureWashing]

Yes how can we help?

[@pressurewashingandhoodcleaning]

is she single?

[@Sheerpressurewashing]

I would like to see both pumps running. Is it much difference in distance, or just more volume?

[@TexasPressureWashing]

Just volume increase. No distance change.

[@theinsideman123]

Question: the inside diameter is smaller on the hoses. Should I get 1” hoses where the inside diameter is smaller, or bigger so the inside diameter is 3/4?

[@khpressurewashing9538]

What high flow metering valves do you recommend?

[@TexasPressureWashing]

Any 3/4 or 1" metering valves. Asahi are the only size I know of that high. GF stops at 1/2"

[@khpressurewashing9538]

Great video!

[@TexasPressureWashing]

Thanks!
