Why you must have a switch & bypass

[@IlluminatingThoughtTv]

Wow! This video is awesome! Please make more for us to learn. Keep it up!

[@cedarclean-cedarroofcleani8148]

Excellent explanation! Thanks for that. I have a similar setup as yours: 1hp Gould’s BP, remote controller, proportioner and bypass regulator. I do not have a pressure switch as of yet. One thing i do is send my chemicals thru a Flojet 7gpm air diaphragm pump, where i can control chemical usage and only use my BP for rinsing. I use an electrical valve to turn soap on/off and and another electric valve for water hose direct rinsing. Each pump feeds chemical and or rinse water to a brass y connector then onto my single 5/8” chemical hose. This way my expensive Gould’s BP does not see chemicals (I do have a 3 way ball valve where I can use my BP for chemical delivery if I want to) and the air diaphragm pump controls chemical delivery much better than a booster pump. This method works good for my type of cleaning as all I clean here in Ontario is cedar roofs. Appreciate your in depth videos.

I'm listening.... The pump is building to shut off pressure quicker than you can use the volume, because of the smaller out put gun.

[@thepressurewasherschannel9109]

Yes… when using a different gun with smaller tip you must adjust the bypass so the pressure doesn’t shut pump off

@@thepressurewasherschannel9109 what's the name brand of the booster?

[@thepressurewasherschannel9109]

One I have designed with a small company over a few years, 26 stage 200 psi , rebuild able in minutes

[@damonsmith8801]

@@thepressurewasherschannel9109 well a watched the video of the rebuild. It was mostly in real time except the the very last part. I figure, YOU could rebuild it in 30 minutes and have it back on the truck. Okay, I'm interested. I'm building and haven't decided witch way to go yet. I really like the ar 45 or 40 , but I see a ton that could go wrong. I like the simplicity of your whole system. I know there's nothing really cheap about it. It's also in the eye of the beholder. I'm thinking you built and designed the whole truck. I haven't seen all yet but I'm watching.

[@thepressurewasherschannel9109]

I moved away from the Gould pumps & had one custom designed 26 stage 3 hp

[@courtcounselor]

I wish you had a complete setup video. One we could duplicate in our markets. Thx for your content

[@Hptrontic]

great for fire fighting too that can be used right now in ca, wa, or. to fight these fires. that pump can really spray out the water just like a small fire hose.

[@dirtynewschannel]

Huge amount of knowledge on this channel

[@TheIdeas4life]

thank you sir

[@masonpetty4319]

Very cool! Please provide company name and site for the pressure valve, if you can. Thanks!

Where can I get the pressure or micro switch?

[@thepressurewasherschannel9109]

For what ???

[@cedarclean-cedarroofcleani8148]

The German pressure switch, where did you buy and what is model number?

[@brianwallace3270]

After some digging, this appears to be it (0-363 PSI) www.ifm.com/us/en/product/PK6523?tab=details Here is the whole line - www.ifm.com/us/en/category/040/040_010/040_010_070

[@kblackmon919]

So if I understand this, If the gun is wide open then the valve is shut off with no bypass, and when you change nozzles you must have some bypass to account for the back pressure? Where did you get the grey adjustmnt knob or valve? thanks kev

[@thepressurewasherschannel9109]

[@robertboatright2192]

Great info

[@TheMhowi007]

Do you have a by pass line running to your tank? And with the bypass hooked up how long can you leave hand off gun before any damage?

[@thepressurewasherschannel9109]

No bypass to the tank, custom booster with bypass & pressure switch

[@TheMhowi007]

@@thepressurewasherschannel9109 ok so you don't have to be careful when hand om the gun of everything burning up? Lastly what I want the most is to buy one off of you lol make it happen

[@thepressurewasherschannel9109]

No it shuts off at 175psi, save your money, working on the booster in a box now… approx 12k $$

[@TheMhowi007]

Side business of mine if I did it full time would have no problem spending that money... I operate locomotives full time lol guess I'll stick with my day job

Is that the red stainless gun you were talking about in another video?

[@thepressurewasherschannel9109]

Yes

[@kblackmon919]

Great Video!! Where can I get that knob or pressure switch you were adjusting? I have the proswitch how would I adjust it like you did?

[@thepressurewasherschannel9109]

add bypass

[@daco8252]

Hi Great videos! I have a question about this subject. I have the 7 gpm booster and installed a pressure switch, no bypass. Have 1/2' mixing valves also. I bought a 12v 1" electric ball valve, it's reduced on mixing side. So for the rinsing side to pump I ran 1" hose to pump to get more volume. Can get the pressure switch to shut off on running soap side but when switched to rinse side pump switch won't shut off. Could this be because of the water volume difference or air leak, no leaking water.. Using the same tip cleaning and rinsing. Have ordered a red gun. Many Thanks!

[@kblackmon919]

Where in your system is the micro pressure switch? ? thanks for all the info

[@lioneldeliz7053]

Hi, great video. Where could I buy that soaker gun? Could I use it for a 8gpm PW? Thank you

[@thepressurewasherschannel9109]

No , low pressure only

[@Hptrontic]

@@thepressurewasherschannel9109 only seen it work with electric booster pump or gas diaphragm pump. this channel and southern style. this works very well with boosters especially the 10gbs20.

[@thepressurewasherschannel9109]

Correct

[@cleanmasterfl]

It's sad there's no place to look for help locally, unless you have a suggestion for where to look. Could this work on your pump? SQUARE D 9013GHG2J30 and mtg-22-pcv then fumble around with how it connects to regulator and pressure gauge.

[@justinschlosser2579]

What brand are those pumps? What are they called? Thank you.

[@SoftWashFactory]

Where did u get the pressure regulator bypass

[@leonardocleaningllc1952]

I want to fly out and work as a grunt soaking up your knowledge for a week.

[@matthewrobinson6297]

What’s the name of that red gun and what exactly is it used for. Or should I say attachment?

[@EdgeRoofCleaningCanada]

I am surprised you can get away with those 3/4" chem line proportioning valves with the amount of flow your booster pushes and pulls. You don't have any performance loss at 1% on the SH?

Hey pressure switch is a bad idea you just need the bypass..

[@thepressurewasherschannel9109]

You have no idea what you’re talking about, if the pump is in bypass more than five minutes it will explode do excessive heat buildup, this is not one of those Goulds 5 gpm toys

[@rishisingh7608]

@@thepressurewasherschannel9109 I understand what you are saying the pump cavitation will happen and the water will heat up thats why you must insure the PRV open just enough watch your pressure gauge when you come off the gun you will see it jumping thats the pump shaft....
