- In this short video, I will show you the correct way to do a bucket test to find out how many gallons per minute you are getting. I am running a Predator 4400 psi 4.2GPM machine off a gravity fed buffer tank. This simple test can be used on pressure washers, buffer tanks, and also for testing customers water supply output. Hope this helps shine some light on things.

Thank you for the information sir! I’m going to be building a similar set up with the new 2.4 GPM predator pressure washer, just need it to rinse off ATVs this was definitely helpful. Saves me money on needing a transfer pump!
I have spoken with the technical department at AR pumps. They say that you should not run your pressure washer in this way. He told me to either use a 12 V booster pump, or to go with a gearbox. He actually recommended a different model pump and unloader build. He recommended Water Cannon to source the parts
Bro this is the setup I am making thank u for proving my point
Glad to help! I actually just made an updated video explaining more about installing the external unloader valve.
Awesome!
yhanks for the fast replay man, a quick question, i have a 3600 psi 2.5 gpm dewalt pw with a aaa triplex pump, direct driven… i can use a buffer tank for that one too right? cause ive read that direct driven pumps do not suck water like the belt driven ones
Just bought one a few hours ago nothing but great reviews about this machine. Let's face it the 420cc motor outperforms the Honda GX390 all day everyday and is less than half the price usually. I even ordered a gearbox reduction that I'm going to place on mine. I'll make a video and be sure to tag you once I add the gear reduction🤘🏾
What type of gear box u order
Did you build that set up ?
@@1painter4hire I did and it's perfect for residential and commercial work🤘🏾

@@cardinalprosoftwash can you tell what gear box you used , and thanks for getting back to me
Thank for this but I have a question. I bought a buffer tank and tried this, but the water coming out real slow, why is that?
The garden hose I used was pretty long, could that have been the issue?
I dont have a buffer tank or anything. But i wanted to say, the other day i set my pressure washer up, hooked up to my 100 foot garden hose. Which hasnt been used or touched in weeks. It just has standing water in it. As it laid on ground. Typically id turn rhe hose on, on my house. I forgot to turn it on at all.
I start the pressure washer and was actually pressure washing for a bit when suddenly i lost all pressure. I then found out I Never even turned the water hose on. So it had no problem sucking all the water that was simply laying in the hose.
where did you buy the hose , the blck that goes from the buffer to the pw
Hi, This is the exact hose I bought Fevone Garden Hose 3 ft x 5/8", Hose Reel Leader Hose, Hose Reel Connecting Hose, Water Hose Connector, 3 Foot Hose Extension, Lead In Hose for Garden Hose Reel, Solid Brass Fittings - No Leak a.co/d/gvpSrT6
Here is the bulkhead fitting that is at the bottom of my 55 gal drum2 Pack Brass Hose Bulkhead Fitting with Plugs, EEEKit 1/2" Female NPT 3/4" Male GHT Garden Hose Threaded, Solid Brass Water Tank Connector for Rain Barrels, Aquariums, Water Tanks, Pools, Tubs a.co/d/2D6cet5
Do you use fuel stabilizer when refueling?
No I never do
How many ft of hose is the predator able to run
I run 200 no problem
If you already have to run the garden hose and that all your specific washer needs then why bother with that 50 gallon buffer tank???
Good question. Not everyone needs a buffer tank with a small machine but I live in a town where everyone has well water and some of the homes I washed I only got 3gpm out of the hose. My Buffer tank allows me to get the 4gpm my machine needs.
