Needed to change things up from initial trailer build. Goals were to be more efficient, better utilize space and to stop tripping over crap. The ability to re-use what I put in this trailer on next trailer (year or two)
Measured everything I was keeping and adding to trailer. Contacted our resident OCD builder here @TexasPressureWashing for input. Heath sent me a layout of a trailer he stumbled upon and off I went.
Getting rid of the 275gal tote was easy. I didn’t want to pull the PW out as I did this remodel alone and that sucker is heavy and works perfectly. (MVP- Jimmy and Diego)
I was unaware the tote folds up…
I did the math. Hours and risk moving/reinstalling PW vs. 10 minutes of a sawzall. Sawzall won! Around here I’d get $50-75 for the tote max. My time is worth more than the savings. (Note: wear hearing protection lol)
The next two pix are from initial build looking in back and side.
The new style GP inline t-strainers are absolute junk! They split/break on the threaded section of the polycarbonate bowl. I got less than a month out of 3 of them. I threw all the new ones I still had in the trash.
I’ve never broken another brand because I got crazy cranking them down as I’ve always known it was a possiblity so I just barely snug them just enough to seal it. One day I was at one of my shops and I saw a clear shard on the ground. I immediately went and checked the few that I had in service at that location and found two of the three had let go. I replaced them with new bowls and a few weeks later I checked them out to see how they were doing and yup they were now breaking too. I was like well that was that lol
I went back to the glass reinforced polypropylene from Banjo you know the one that never let me down. Don’t stray when you find a good thing!
That’s good to know. I have that same filter you said you had issues with. Sounds like I need to have that banjo as a backup. Didn’t see it on pressuretek. Where do you buy the banjo filter from?
