Over the top customer service, that is absolutely awesome. I bet amazon won't do that !! lol Kudos's fellas.

[@rickrose2504]

I found the best we to flush out a Softwash system is once you have straight water in your line put the wand in a place like a driveway etc where you can’t harm anything and let it run while your getting everything else put away. That hose is always last. Gives you plenty time to flush everything. My pumps last a long time by doing so.

[@southeastsoftwash4020]

Exactly

[@nathanbrinker1149]

before i start the video. if there is no water in the damn tank ima laugh my ass off

[@ktpowerwashing]

Had this EXACT issue yesterday. Definitely guilty of not allowing enough time to thoroughly rinse out the system. Process of elimination led us to the same resolution/conclusion.

[@eknight101]

"process of elimination" that's the secret to diagnosing just about any problem out there.

[@wallacewimmer5191]

Long time subscriber. Love the content. Seems flow restrictions are a common issue. I recall your video when you were trying the 7 gpm 12 volt & it kept popping fuses. An upgrade to 5/8 hose is a little heavier to drag. But I get better distance even with my 5.5 gpm.

Thanks for educating us. I just got my Remco pump this week from y’all. Have you ever had any issues with the pump leaking with the quickconnects? I’m excited to get my pressure pump wired and practice on my house.

Wrap the QC with 2-3 rounds of Teflon tape. Should fix it

my tanks are out of water, can you swing by and fill them reall quick? cold bitch this morning...

[@onthegopowerwashprollc1077]

I noticed the pump was mounted upside down, I know you can technically mount them that way, but I personally don't feel comfortable doing it. Wonder if that may have played a role in malfunction, especially not rinsing pump out long enough? I have a "Y" fitting to chem tank and water tank just to let it run for a while and rinse out pump thoroughly. Glad he was able to get back up and running to finish the job!

[@southeastsoftwash4020]

Well we’ve got hundreds mounted that way and it’s actually preferred since if it leaks it’s less likely to get into the electric motor. Just a lack of rinsing our really

It’s about time to start troubleshooting 😂😂😭

You mentioned that the pumps hose fittings had easy ones to disconnect. On the trailer builds do you need a heat gun to get the fittings off and on?

[@southeastsoftwash4020]

Heat gun helps to get the hoses off

I bought a skid from Southeast Softwash and Coty's customer service is really amazing and I highly recommend him and his products to anyone. I love this video, because it really shows that knowing the system is #1 and then the principles of troubleshooting is what can make or break you on the job. Excellent video 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I'm so confused. Are they using your skid to spray out Roof Maxx. Which I thought was a different product then using just water and SH with surfactant?

No. They Have a separate set up inside the enclosed trailer for that
