I started with like $300. Copped a 2.6 for $100 at a pawn shop, few months later I washed that pawn shop and charged them $400 and used that little 2.6 and got it done. My current setup isn't anything fancy but it gets the job done. It's not about what you start with, you just gotta start. 💪 Great video man.
Thanks man and I started wit a 2.5 this year and it’s been totally great to get off the grown wit,I landed a commercial job from that I still work on, i’ve recently bought the 4 gallon per minute now I am able to run a little bit more gallons with the Siamese line but overall you can start with a 2.5 gallon and get it gone,thanks for you comment my friend
Man... when you said "pull that sucka around that house , get that money" I SUB'd straight away haha!! some people if they could get away with it, wouldn't even get out of their trucks haha!! good luck man😉
One of the best videos on starting up I’ve seen.. and the people you mentioned you watched are wise as well.. I like the part about how you treat the client.. no one like a rush job!! Well spoken!!
You're going to love it once you get that 4 gallon per minute going with a buffer tank and two hose reels man glad you got that stuff brother glad you appreciate the humble beginnings
Im using my lawncare businesses to fund my pressure washing business. I have everything but a 4gpm pump. I have a 2.5 but i have the xjet. I got a 5.5 everflo pump for soft wash. I got 18in surface cleaner. I mean ive spent about $1000 so far but thats just how i like to do stuff. I like brand new equipment. I know one day it will pay off. The only thing im missing is a 4gpm pressure washer but ill buy that after i make some money😂. Ihavent landed my first job yet lol. Lawncare is my passion but this will keep me busy all year around.
I started with a 2.5 I got from Sam’s put up Bandit signs near a rich neighborhood and I got a contract with Dunkin Doughnuts because one of the homeowners own the Dunkin Doughnuts, You never know were pressure washing can take u
Great video bro. I've been researching this field and looking at a ton of videos. Love how you ran it unedited and straight 💯. I appreciate how you shared your experiences and was just real about the business. Will be ordering that e-book.
Man i know this a year old but bro, i needed this. Ive been feeling like such a rookie with my humble equipment and desperately wanting the good stuff but...deep down i know we dont really need it. Thanks!
Great to here it’s helping you further in your profession of pressure washing keep focus on your on thing and try not to compete but better yet to perform on your on clients needs
I am with you 100% buddy all those people trying to sell u their stuff that don’t work I tried same thing with a downstream injector and it was a waste of money it did the same thing to me also yep way to go brother man keep it rolling
Thank you! Thank you for teaching us & simplifying the inner workings of how to get started. I love how real & honest you are about the power washing business. Thanks for being u!
Yes and that’s exactly what I’m saying I made thousands of dollars with a $600 budget and then began to boss up with only the full gallon per minute, which allow me to do my flat work a lot faster🤞🏾 Big WuSah saying stay focus and prove those big rig guys you can boss up
Appreciate the information. I actually figured out the downstreaming after I brought one. I didn't do the sh correct though. I didn't know use straight sh. I mixed it with soap and water and still had stains. Thank you very much for the info.
That’s probably the most humble wake-up call I got all these people saying 4-5 gpm then u mess up a job or bust someone’s property - I am with you I gonna do same thing u are gotta crawl before we walk very good video
Yes,that’s what I tried to convey to my listeners about spending so much to start off wit,my 2.5 has brought me a good bit of money or even thousands of dollars and I still use it today
Thank you for the information I'm going to be starting my business real soon and at this point in my life I really don't want to buy $1,000 machine because I have a whole lot of stuff I need to buy as well I'm going to get that 2.5 thanks again for the video
thank you sir, i needed this as well. I just cobbled together enough for my trailer and stuff, but i'm skipping the water tank. and now i'm going to go with a cheaper pressure washer and upgrade to 4+GPM later. Just need to get business rolling first. Not my first business, but it always takes a lot of time and money to get up to speed even with small operations
Yes let the business do the buying for itself,and a 2.5 gpm can get you in the doors and make money thanks for the comment and Stay focus on doing what you do best not others in this business,stand out from competitors you see how simple I dress and get the money🦾
@@bigwusahtv haha I love it, yes keep it simple man. Life is too easy to make it complicated. I'm coming from auto detailing and it's tough to sell with tons of competition but I've made it work. I am hoping to do the same for soft washing, my neck is killing me from all the inside details. And I do a lot of $160 jobs that take 3.5 hours plus travel, it's no way to make money lol
Hello i recently bought a 2.5 its the same one you have. I have a vinyl house to do , what chemicals should i put in a 5 gallon bucket? I dont want to damage his siding. This is my very first one so i want to do a good job Thank you
What's up Mr. WuSah!!! Now we all know you are the 2.5 KING!!! I just have a quick question... what is the ratio of the downstream injecter that's on your 2.5 gpm... are you able to apply a 1% to the house?
great video my man, im in mexico and ive got a dewalt 2.5 gom machine and im about to start, i want to do fleet washing as well, the problem i have is that my pump’s downstream injector does not suck anything and i was going to buy and external injector like the one you have, whats the reason it doesnt pull from an external injector?
Thanks for the comment,maybe it’s clogged or not any good,by a downstream injector that matches the gpm, for example if ur running a 2.5 up to a 4 gpm order that if running 5-8 get that one it should solve ur problem👍🏾
Question for ya .. I have a 2500 2.5 My friend gave me a 3100 2.5 The 3100 has less pressure is that normal? I took the pressure valve with the spring off it in working order. Thanks again for your videos appreciate you 😊
Big Wusah just have to say my wife and I started a powerwash soft wash business we literally only have what you had in the truck in this video I'm thinking like ain't no way we going to be able to down this we don't have no fancy setup we don't have no 4 gom power washer like every video on CZcams then we found Big WuSah man you gave us the courage to jump off the porch and get going long story short had booked our first job completed the job today. The whole time I'm washing all I could think about is when u said " what is ppl to lazy to drag this around the yard get out here get this money lol bottom line thanks and keep doing what you doing you give the little guys hope and courage thanks man
I just started also last week with a 2.5. I do plan on scaling up, but I don’t mind working my way up. I know there’s going to be a learning curve so Mindaswell make those mistakes on smaller jobs and cheaper equipment. Great to see someone who’s admitting starting from humble beginnings and willing to accumulate his own success. Cheers bro. Get push’n. I hope I can do some things and evolve too. I just started last week and already picked up a few jobs and have learned a ton from just the several jobs I’ve had.
Thank you and that’s awesome to see & hear so many people👈🏾have watch that video and have encouraged them to start right there.Your comment means so much and remember um still learning also🦾
Well I thank you for this comment,if you have any videos using the skillz I gave you please tag me in the video so I can share it and tell ppl to follow ur page
I have my favorites on CZcams that I watch. Don Rucker being one of them Southeast South wash. I came across your video and I agree with everything you were saying. I just started and Im washing homes with the 2.5 down streaming. I already Had the knowledge and skills. your video assured me that I'm doing everything the right way starting off with the 2.5.
Ohhh ya... what size tubing fir the down streaming on you pressure washer.. I have my first job. Coming up.. any advice. Thanks again for your videos 👍🏿
I use a 2.3gpm simpson 3100ps and a 14" surface cleaner. i just did a 2 story house and finishing a 11k sqft church parking lot. It's slower but douse a realy good job. But going for more gpm machine soon.
Great words of Wisdom my guy, I really appreciate that comment,would I be bragging if at lease I thank um the 🐐😅🤣 but in all honesty I hope any thing I do help people to be better here on earth Solute 🦾
Thank you for ur comment,but when downstreaming I never add water only soap, do a test spot on every job to see how the mix reacts, if you think the mix is too hot down streaming then you could add water to your SH to cut it but that’s very rare because the water coming from the pressure line will cut it more than half. You will pull only about 1.2 to 1.8% which is just right are use a 10% SH. which will come out about 1.2 or 1% i’ve never had that problem so I stick to the 12.5% when I downstream no water added just surfactant. or I use 10% no water added.
I'm just getting started this year but I bought a black max from marketplace for $40...had to buy a new pump for it for $80, so for $120 I have a machine that has helped me complete my first 4 jobs wihtout any issues. Is it the fastest thing on Earth, absolutely not, but starting out, I feel its a great solution. Great video man and best of luck this year!
Thank you Sir,and yes it’s time we really make sure ppl that’s starting out know the truth about the small machines there great for building the busy and for jobs your in no need to rush👍🏾
yes you can but I would recommend a good soap that's meant for house washing that won't streak windows but dawn will get you by in a pinch or a cheap laundry soap

Hey big bro what size surface cleaner for a 2.5
Dawn no good with SH
That’s not Tru trust someone who uses it all the time,
Are you familiar with the m5 twist for the 2.5? If so I have a couple of questions
What about it,I have one
👍
👍🏾
It's not the Psi it's the water per gallon. To soft wash u need more then a 2 5.
Depends on what your doing👦🏾
