@@blacklabpowerwashllc I’m no longer using the mondo 49”. I sold it the middle of last year and now run a lil hippo 62”. In this video I was only running 8gpm. If you went to run it more efficiently, you definitely need higher gpm to do so but I ran it with 8gpm & 10gpm for over 3yrs.

@@readykleenpowerwashing sounds good. Were you using cold or hot water when using it?

@@blacklabpowerwashllc both. I have videos of it in action if you look at my other videos you’ll find it.

@@readykleenpowerwashing I currently have the mini mondo. I see you’ve used that too. Do you feel the big mondo is better / more efficient for driveway cleanings?

@@blacklabpowerwashllc no it’s not more efficient for driveway cleanings. The mini mondo is as long as you have the proper gpm to run it. The mondo 49” is for big Commerical flatwork.

If the hose burst again…..yep. That’s why it’s called a reusable fitting.

@@readykleenpowerwashing 😆 guess I didn’t read the title well…thanks!

There are three different lines that go on the fuel pump. One line is a (pulse) or vacuum source to operate the pump. In turn the vacuum pulls fuel from the fuel tank as the motor creates vacuum to operate. The last line is the pump output line that takes the fuel and sends it to the carburetor.

I don’t know how I could answer that question and not see your setup.

In this video it was 1” suction hose.

Thanks for the response! (= do you use 1" ID hose for all your 5.5 gpm pumps? I use 1/2 " ID suction hose with 5/8 flexilla. Just trying to maximize output and figure out what the best combination is.

@@mikluvin4633 no. My current 12v system uses 1/2” suction, 1/2” discharge with 350ft of 1/2” flexzilla hose. I get 38ft horizontal distance. If you want better performance from a 5.5gpm 12v system, you’ll need to go 3/4” everything with 5/8” hose for the reel.

No I haven’t. This is for me surface cleaning and that’s it.

Yes. I was just using mine today doing a house wash.

No. because I had 22 of these locations, we agreed in a flat set rate price. Some locations were bigger and some were smaller so it made up for the difference.

@@readykleenpowerwashing Awesome, great info!

Yes I run my 3/8 hose through my reel.

@@readykleenpowerwashing Thanks for reply.

Sorry I figured after 6 min people’s attention span was maxed out. Next time I’ll do that. The main thing I was trying to show was the capabilities of the groundforce with good gpm how quctyiu can get a driveway done.

This driveway was pretty dirty. I pretreated with P40 for a hotter mix. Downstreaming doesn’t get hot enough mix.

@@readykleenpowerwashing why do you pre treat? I see a lot of people wash first than post treat hot mix

@@dylanthornsberry8778 because that’s my preference. Pretreating kills organic growth and loosens everything up to make it quicker to clean. Post treating can be too strong for some customers leaving behind a stronger SH smell. Worst case I may have to spot treat and I’ll do that with a pump sprayer.

No. If you cut off your water supply and the bleach works then that must mean you have an air leak somewhere. The water line must be sucking air somewhere. If you’re using non collapsible hose like tiger flex hose, make sure to heat the hose before clamping it down. The coils in the hose may prevent a good seal.

Yes

Very happy to hear this great news

Yes you can use the 100 gallon tank and batch mix whatever you want to clean. Since your batch mixing, you’d run the bypass hose back to the tank and you’ll be able to stay off the trigger for a long time without having to worry about overheating the pump.

Thank you for replying, sir. It makes me feel more confident about this matter. By doing so, the bypass will keep the engine running and put the chemicals back into the tank. After every job, do you run clean water through the pump?

@@HandyHoneyBunnyLLC I usually do run water after the job to clear out my hose but in your case you’d have to come up with a dual valve to switch between pulling your batch mix and pulling clean water. Because you’re batch mixing, there is no clean water per se. you only have your batch mix tank to spray from.

Thanks for sharing your wisdom.

No because then you’ll fill your water tank with chemical mix.

@@readykleenpowerwashing aah , i see. Thanks

это маленький бегемотик шепчущий мыть. номер модели h500. стоимость зависит от того, где вы его покупаете. он может варьироваться от 3500 до 5000 долларов.

I got it from Amazon. I stated this in the description.

They both have their purpose. 12v is good for pretreating and post treating. It’s also my go to for roofs because you can apply a light coat without runoff. Very controllable. The P40 is good for bigger jobs such as house washing and Commerical applications where volume is necessary as well as reach.

Unfortunately I don’t. The give valve is my main valve all the time. The only time I use the Hudson valve is when I need to double fill my tank. This is why I don’t even have a hose reel going to it.

@@readykleenpowerwashing so the Jobe is your main valve? My Hudson valve busted and not sure what is should use next

@@seattleprowash5464 yes the jobe valve is my main valve. It has done very well.

The most simple answer to that is as big as you can fit or haul. Everything depends on location and water flow around your area. Also Commerical work if there’s no water access, having a big tank will slow you to do work.

Thank you

Thank you very much 🙏🏼

Running a hotbox with Wayne burner or SDC burner can run 12gpm.

How does the 48 do with 8gpm? Are you using cold or hot?

I use a dedicated pump when I pretreat. Downstreaming isn’t strong enough. I have a 12v system and P40 gas softwash system.

@@readykleenpowerwashing have you tested different injectors? Is it strong enough for regular house washing?

@@batteryboy4529 regardless of what chemical injector someone suggest, they’re still going to perform basically the same based on GPM. Downstreaming does work and effective for house washing of vinyl and hardy plank siding. Brick, stucco or flagstone would require a hotter mix to clean.

@@readykleenpowerwashing understood. I have two 8gpm right now. I just ordered a 10gpm 15 minutes ago. Was nervous that I wouldn’t be able to downstream at all with it. I have an air diaphragm pump so if I need a stronger mix I will just use that. We normally use that already to pretreat really dirt areas, stucco, brick, roofs, etc.

Thank you

Thank you sir 🙏🏽

Hot water

@@readykleenpowerwashing so no chems sir

@@chrisdavis1681 not on the floor no

One reel is a water reel to fill my tank. I don’t have a water reel that goes to the pump because my machine consumes more water than a regular outlet can put out. The tank feeds the machine instead of a water hose going directly to the pump. I have multiple systems on my trailer and that’s the reason why I have multiple reels. - Water fill ( 1 reel for fill hose) - 2 pressure washers - (2 hose reels) - 12v softwashing system (1 hose reel) - Comet P40 gas softwashing system ( 1 hose reel) - 300ft of 1/2” hose (1 hose reel)

makes sense@@readykleenpowerwashing

Thank you very much. We’re all in different stages in this business and eventually you can get there if you stick with it.

Appreciate it Tony 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

Next time bro

In due time things will happen.

You would have to get a custom hotbox made to handle 20gpm with one single burner. It’s not practical and would be very large. It would have to be in the neighborhood of heating 1.5 million BTUs. Easier to simease and use a separate hotbox for each unit.

The ball park is what you’re comfortable cleaning at. There is no specific number to charge in this industry. One may be able to charge more than another due to experience and equipment.

@@readykleenpowerwashing very true. The owner/operator of a recently opened Chick-fil-A wants me to bid a job for him. Some he wants weekly and some is bi-weekly. I'm trying to make it affordable for him BUT I want to make a good profit as well. I'm sure you understand.

@@shaferspressurewashing8911 completely understand but the only person that’s going to know what you need to make for a profit margin is you based on what expenses you have.

@@readykleenpowerwashing thanks Bud! I appreciate your input.

I have barbed connections. I’ve had the hose blown off the discharge port due to a loose hose clamp. I also avoid staying off the trigger as much as possible to avoid too much buildup even though I’m running 25ft bypass hose.

@@readykleenpowerwashing thanks yea I have barbed fitting for my AR see how it holds up

What do you mean by a line ?

Yeah plus work at night... But its commercial work so some lines doesn't matter as long as it's clean

@@thepolacoxxl if you’re talking about leaving strips … No. not all concrete can be done with just one pass. Sometimes it’s required to go over it a second time due to the amount of dirtiness.

Awesome job. 1/2 line? Gpm running?

@@GrimeGobblers yes 1/2” @ 22gpm

ZK1

I was only using pool essentials 10% at that time. This video was created when I first started washing. I don’t use a foam cannon anymore. Haven’t been for years.

Thank you very much. You can also check out some other videos I have tuning 20gpm with a 63” surface cleaner.
