Wall mounted Pressure Washer system in garage, DIY for $290 | Worx

In this video I talk about how to install your own wall mounted Pressure Washer system for light work like washing cars for $290. The pressure washer can still be removed to use elsewhere in the house. This setup will likely not work if you do pressure washing for a living.

So I've only used this pressure washer one time. kzbin.infoUgkxfQauTxLT0JLSvqkq10rD79TU4k0Vz8zP The one time I used it, it worked great. I recently had new siding installed but kept the old gutters and small areas surrounding my house that weren't replaced so they looked horrible and dirty because of the new siding. I needed to get it cleaned asap. When I used the pressure washer, man it just melted all the dirt and grime that was on those areas of my house. I used that krud kutter soap and it was over after that. Easy to assemble, feels durable, very simple to use. Also, I purchased a used one to save money and there was absolutely nothing wrong with it. I want to get more use out of it so I think I'll be washing the cars and update this comment as time goes on.

Thanks!

Awesome to see such an instructional video that really makes it approachable to do this project yourself. Impressive! I haven’t really seen any other videos quite like this one. It’s like a video tutorial but hands on through the entire process.

[@LifeHacksExtreme]

Thanks for watching!

[@dcs-motorsport]

Excellent job! Definitely gonna save this video for spring time and set this up!

[@JR007x]

I'm a bit late to the game in seeing this video, but just wanted to say stunning! Love your setup and looking into the products you shared; thank you!

[@AlwaysSearching..]

Nice setup! Couple tips use 3 ounces of soap and dilute the rest of your foam cannon bottle with warm water also get a 1.1mm orifice you will get much better foam and performance 👍🏼

[@LifeHacksExtreme]

Nice tips, will try this out!

[@mumihp]

From the UK here and your set up is so awesome. One of the hassle for me, is getting everything out, set up to wash and then putting everything away. Which is why, I go to a car wash or sometimes not bother but your set up, is very cheap and will pay of in the long one. I will differently look into have a set up like yours but my house doesn't have a garage. Most likely, I probably mount it on the side of the house, brick wall and build some sort of enclose around it, protect it from the elements. Also, you explained evrything so well and I like how everything is neat, really pleasing to look at. Awesome tutorial.

[@LifeHacksExtreme]

Thanks for watching. My biggest hassle has also getting everything and and it putting it away so, ended be not washing the car or using a car wash. Now I can do every Friday before the weekend in like 10 min and keep the car clean! Our prices here are about $10-$20 each time for the car wash so this saves a lot!

[@mumihp]

@@LifeHacksExtreme That is the reason I don't bother and sometimes I don't do it. In my area, think it ranges from anywhere from £15 to £25, depends on where you go so if you wash your car, once or twice a month, it adds up, especially since me and my husband both have cars so very expensive to wash cars. I showed him your set up, he was so impressed with it and said we differently need to do something like that for our house. Even spending £300 will pay it off in a year and honestly, it will be really nice to drive the car without having mud and bird poo on it. Currently, researching on the parts, best places to buy. Only issue is, we don't have a garage but a drive way, so we are thinking, maybe building a enclosure on the side of our house. But anyway, awesome clean design....differently inspired me to do DIY again.

[@LifeHacksExtreme]

Great idea, you could build a box wood enclosure with a couple of hinges and a lock :)

[@bigstickerperformance6670]

Nice job. Tip with the thread tape is to do the opposite way to sticky tape (outside of the roll to the thread) and in the same direction as the thread, it'll be easier to roll off and keep tension 👍

[@LifeHacksExtreme]

Thanks for the tip

[@localdrummer101]

Great job!

[@jig1056]

Dude this is awesome. My budget setup is definitely like the one on the left that you were showing at the beginning of the video. LOL.. it works so I can’t complain. However, your version is so nice it’s not one of those crazy extreme garage set ups, but it is truly nice. I love the way you ran water to the unit, I may steal that idea for a future weekend project. well done tip of the hat to you my friend.

[@LifeHacksExtreme]

Thanks for watching. Yeah this is the cheapest setup I could find that still looks decent after hours of research. I can even unmount the washer in 5 min to use elsewhere in the house and then put the back when done.

[@patrickm3390]

Bravo! Idc what anyone says that looks amazing!….I’m doing it now too but I’m going to run hot water too

Nice setup! However, Mr. Pink should foam way more than what you're vid showed. Maybe look for a smaller orifice for the gun.

[@LifeHacksExtreme]

Yeah, since then I have replaced the orifice and it is better!

[@bena9049]

love it!! I figured this out myself years ago (painfully) I wish I had you to guide me... I recently took it to the next level with a retractable hose real... very difficult to find the right hose real that could handle the pressure, but, I will share it here: REELCRAFT PW7600 OHP, I used the Karcher 50ft hose that is 5/16" (Model:9.558-124.0) because it is narrower, has higher velocity and is more flexible than other hoses (my personal preference). I also used a different wand, MTM foam canon, and a CAT-1800.... This is an Excellent Video!!!

[@LifeHacksExtreme]

Thanks for the tips! A retractable one would definitely be useful!

[@bena9049]

@@LifeHacksExtreme other one i have in another garage space is the Coxreels TMPL-N-375... I think these are all made by the same supplier but just come in different colors based on the "Manufacturer". The Coxreel's one is 1/3rd the price of the REELCRAFT one... and it is almost identical.

[@barbouradam]

Great project, need to upgrade that foam canon though!! I have the same hose and reel and it kept catching on the back, all due to me not cutting the red sleeve, great call.

[@LifeHacksExtreme]

Definitely, should be an easy fix to still do it.

[@daltonschannel8405]

Love everything but the foam cannon. Good job!

[@LifeHacksExtreme]

I have since changed the orifice and it’s a lot better. Thanks for watching

[@monkeykiss1988]

I've recently set up own budget pressure washer system using a Kracher K1700 Cube/Kobrajet 50' hose. I have the same foam cannon, the original MTM I've had for years. Looking to replace the orifice in it to a 1.1mm to get better foaming action. Just curious why you opt not to go for a wide spray pattern when laying down the foam, seems more work that way. I have a black vehicle, so I couldn't go without my CR spotless DI filter.

[@LifeHacksExtreme]

The foam cannon I have had for years when I didn’t do any research on what’s the best one. Got to admit, it’s probably time to look at a better option for better foam/wide spray pattern. For this video I was mostly focused on wall mounting it.

[@markallen9389]

Nice! How’s the vibration through the wall with the pressure washer? Also I don’t know if you’re in a cold climate area. If so I would install a drain valve on the lowest point of the PVC so you can drain it. If it freezes the PVC will break.

[@LifeHacksExtreme]

The vibration is not noticeable inside the house. There is some sound that comes through on the lower level of the house. Yeah, I do live in cold climate and the PVC pipe is easily removed from the faucet for drainage in cold weather.

[@markallen9389]

@@LifeHacksExtreme the way you have the pipe installed you’ll alway be holding water and that pipe will freeze and break. You can blow it out with air before winter.

[@antonionavarro4014]

Anyone knows whats the max gpm you can get from this pressure washer? And wich nozzlle to use to get that number? Im looking for something around 1.6 gpm, i really like this pressure washer and im just wondering if i can reach that number with the right nozzle. Tks

[@Rubibi-saltwaterjim]

Anyone know how to convert a Karcher K2 system to utilising a hydraulic hose reel?

[@DrM_DDS]

The brass / silver hose connected to your faucet, I plan to connect it to the splitter on my washer in the garage. Is the metal hose with brass connector included with the pressure washer? I think the splitter is 3/4" and i would have buy another long garden hose to reach the pressure mounted near the exit. Does the washer take 3/4' garden hose?

[@LifeHacksExtreme]

Yeah the pressure washer takes 3/4 garden hose. All the connectors inside the garage were included in the hose reel or the new pressure washer gun. The connectors outside the garage by the facet were purchased extra.

[@rolandm9750]

"In this video I talk about how to install your own..." Bruv I didn't hear you say a word in this video! 😄 But, goes to show you don't need to talk ppl's ears off in order to make a good one!

[@LifeHacksExtreme]

lol cheers!

[@matthewowen5574]

Great video and setup. Did you have to run water and electrical to that location in your garage?

[@LifeHacksExtreme]

Yeah I showed how I ran the water from the outside spigot. Electrical was already there. Thanks for watching!

[@user-ud8em7xb5l]

Why do you have the extra pvc shutoff right before the pressure washer? Don’t you have to control with the Outside hose bib? What is the inside PVC one doing?

[@LifeHacksExtreme]

Hello that is so I can turn everything on/off from the pressure washer station. I keep outside ON all the time.

[@wattsobx]

Where did you get the short hose that connects the reel to the washer?

[@LifeHacksExtreme]

It came with the hose reel!

[@marcosmarquez2926]

quick connect fitting for the blue hose to the pressure washer?

[@LifeHacksExtreme]

I used the fitting that came with the pressure washer gun + hose reel. Didn’t have to buy any other fitting other than what came with those two.

[@Superiorkoda]

What drill bit did you use for the 1/2 pvc through the concrete wall

[@LifeHacksExtreme]

The concrete/spade bit from the big box store. It was a layer of brick then plywood then drywall. So there was no concrete but I think the same drill bit will work for concrete too.

[@houdavn]

Thanks for this video. What size screw did you use to mount the plywood onto the stud at 2:32? UPDATE: This video was invaluable in creating my own setup in my garage. I made a video with it on my channel, so thank you for this.

[@LifeHacksExtreme]

Don’t remember the exact size but plywood is 1/2 inch, plus drywall is about 1/2 inch and you would want to go into stud for 1.5 inch at least so about 2.5-3 inch will do.

[@houdavn]

​@@LifeHacksExtreme ​ Great, thanks for the feedback. This video was extremely helpful! I used 3/4" plywood with structural screws that were 2.5" long and this thing is solid as a rock.

[@houdavn]

@@LifeHacksExtreme Just wanted to let you know I made a video on my setup as well. Thanks for your help!

[@stephenlouden480]

that washer cannot be mounted facing down on the wall like that. oil needs to circulate and having it on its side will drastically wear the oil pump oil is having a hard time fighting gravity. I only know because I rebuild pressure washers that fail due to not running them correctly. it's your risk though. you should remount it facing upwards in normal sitting position mounted on a shelf is way better for the unit. good set up though

[@LifeHacksExtreme]

Thanks for the feedback. I didn’t see anything in the instruction manual but this could easily have been the thing that is not documented because they expect people will run it flat.

[@danielfahrner6469]

Do you resale any of the power washers you fix?

[@jamer365mojica4]

You could make a bracket where it pulls out flat and locks into place.

[@jamer365mojica4]

And when your done using it i can fold back flat how it is now

[@LifeHacksExtreme]

Thanks, thanks actually a great idea for a followup video!

[@jameshan7498]

That PVC pipe outside, unless you install a drain to drain the standing water in the pipe, better live in the tropics, because it will freeze and will bust up your pipe during winter time

[@LifeHacksExtreme]

Thanks. Winter just passed and the pipe was just fine in snow/ice. I disconnect it which drains most of the water. The little water in there evaporates, or has room to expand. You can also blow a little from the pressure washer end and that pushes all water out.

[@humboldt707chronic]

Nice setup but the pressure is a little weak for my preference

[@LifeHacksExtreme]

Different nozzles will give you different pressure but yeah the max is 1800psi for this one. Any more than that and I thought the car paint will come off 😀. What pressure have you been using for your car?

[@atomicdetailsoc]

@@LifeHacksExtreme that is simply not true, I work with a gas honda 4000 psi and use yellow and white tips on cars trucks and vans 6 days a week. you'd have to really be holding it in one spot for an extended amount of time pointblank to go through the clear and paint... and when your rinsing your always moving the water. so you are safe just be smart about how you use the tools.

[@humboldt707chronic]

@@LifeHacksExtreme I use a Honda power stroke 3100 psi from Costco. I do a little bit of off-road here and there so I like little more pressure to wash the mud off. Your setup is clean and more convenient

[@Stainlessautos]

@@humboldt707chronicI honestly have yet to see any type of mud I havent been able to spray off and I’m running around 1000psi 1.75 gpm with my setup. You don’t need a ton of psi to wash vehicles.

[@RykuroRacing]

Do you have the sizes for the hose fittings at all?

[@LifeHacksExtreme]

Sorry hose fittings came in box. They seem 3/2 or 1/2 inch

[@dannysuarez6923]

How many inches does it protrude from the wall?

[@LifeHacksExtreme]

Pressure washer part is 12 inches. The hose reel part is 14 inches from the wall.

Does the pump require oil change?

That looks like foam from a $290 overall setup. Lol

[@LifeHacksExtreme]

Thank you for watching. I am looking to upgrade the foam cannon for better foam action.

[@KorraTheFrenchie]

The orifice upgrade as previously mentioned will help. Also get your soap to water ratio dialed in and adjust for a wider fan from the spout. The pressure washer itself isn’t the greatest tbh. Neither is mine but it’s a bit stronger. Greenworks electric 2100 psi and 2gpm. More water flow and pressure helps with the foam.
