Clean plumbing behind the proportioner and schertz box. Also made filters for the SH tanks from PVC Waiting on some parts to come in for the tanks to connect them. Will update then

Looking good. Where’d you get those filters though. Don’t like, holes too big. They won’t keep out much. Get the ones from PWS, have lots of tiny slits in them.

Was thinking the same thing. The slotted ones from pwp or pws have held up great this year and were well worth the price.

After watching this video and seeing how buildup can occur in SH tanks, I’ll be ordering those filters lol. Thanks

You can make your own filter with slotted well point tube from Home Depot. 4 ft tube. You can make a bunch from one tube. Buy the 1.25 pvc end. Glue it. Then the 90 1.25 to .5. Screw your 1/2 pick up tube into it. A lot cheaper than buying premade. I get time is money so this option isn’t for everyone. Good stuff to have laying around the shop

Thanks Tim, didn’t realize they had the slotted at Home Depot.

DJPWS · December 20, 2020, 2:24pm

I already have it on the way, I went with the 3/4 tube

Kentucky1234 · December 20, 2020, 5:24pm

You have the link for 3/4”? Can’t find it on Home Depot site. Thanks!

DJPWS · December 20, 2020, 5:44pm

Not Home Depot, pwp.

Here’s the Link

Kentucky1234 · December 20, 2020, 5:57pm

Yeah, I have those already. I thought you were talking about the one you can make yourself as Tim was describing. Thanks though.

ExpertPowerWash · December 21, 2020, 12:14am

Just the one I linked. I’d also be interested in the 3/4.

I’m assuming your blue hose is soft wash or roof wash. If so get rid of that swivel and put a poly swivel and stem in.

DJPWS · December 21, 2020, 4:57am

Does that even exist ? Just searched for it and no luck. I have the E1526-17-18

Firefighter4hire · December 21, 2020, 2:20pm

I will send you a picture when I get home

Firefighter4hire · December 21, 2020, 2:23pm

@DJPWS actually I know kleen rite had them they are titan 8700 pvc swivels somewhere around 40.00

DJPWS · December 21, 2020, 2:36pm

Do they work on Hannay reel ?

Found the Swivel

Edit.

If that swivel fits, i could order some pvc and make my own stem

TexasPressureWashing · December 21, 2020, 2:42pm

Cold water only though.

DJPWS · December 21, 2020, 2:43pm

I have no way of running hot water through it unless I fill a fiver with hot water from the washer which I can’t see why it would be necessary.

Lukewarm water to mix chemicals in then 12v should be fine through it.

Firefighter4hire · December 21, 2020, 2:44pm

Or try sun bright supply. They are in Maryland. They have a website but it’s horrible way easier just to call them
