I really like my 5.5 pressure pro unit. And bang for your buck they are the best deal going. You could build one but you dont know what you like and dont like for 5-7 k you can get a nice machine that will clean anything you want( well for the most part) get a hot water machine you going to buy or rent one anyway if you in this business lo g enough

I love my 5.5 so much ,I just swapped out my Legacy 4.8 off my gx390 to a 5.5. I’m not saying the 8’s are bad. But man the waiting for water to fill in my neck of the woods on an 8 stinks.
5.5 in my opinion is the sweet spot. But we got alot of wells. I wash alot of houses with a 5.5. Dont get me wrong I have a 10.8 and a few 4s but the 5.5 is perfect

I’m running 2, 5.5 machines of my 1 trailer @ the same time. I gotta be careful were I wash, some have good water flow at the spigot, others places i have to show up with atleast 350 gallons to keep up, but my regulars, I have 350 gallon totes dedicated on sight ,full and ready to go. But this is my first winter doing the dedicated tote set up. So its gonna be interesting…
Do you reckon I need a 50gal buffer tank with that 4gpm machine?
While water is flowing its potential energy is constantly being converted to heat energy that resists freezing on the molecular level and subsequent crystallization. For flowing water to freeze the temperature would have to be hella cold.
Can you put a paddle mixer in it?

I was thinking a recirculating pump. Like a pond ,fish pump. But the paddle mixer at a low speed might work better. Dunno…Have to investigate this H2O Matter more closely. Its almost October. Golly where does the time go…
Not right now…
That would work too as long as the outlet is below water level.

Didn’t think so. So your either recirculating your water back to pump or dumping in on the ground at your unloader. If your recirculating back to your pump. Then you got no more than 2 minutes off the trigger before you start overheating you pump causing damage very quickly. So get a buffer tank and take the return line from your unloader to your pump off @ the pump ,plug the pump, then take the unloader line and make it longer, install it to your buffer tank on the top to cascade down the sides to eliminate possible air bubbles. Now you have bla,bla cold gallons of water recirculating through you system. Allowing you to be off trigger as long as you wish with no worry of burning your pump UP … While your at it ,Set your unloader properly…
Now you have a 4gpm ,so that will work off most spigots. You don’t have to plumb feed your machine via tote if you choose not to. But you will fill that buffer tank quickly @4gpm if it’s small.
IMO ,Id just plumb it up to have buffer take feed your machine, because that make you more mobile and not have to rely on a spigot as much.
Lmao now that’s funny

I was under the impression an 8gpm machine would empty my 50 gallon tank in a heartbeat, so I settled for a 5.5.
After a few months of residential use, I can confirm the 5.5 comes nowhere near draining the tank, and every time I check on it the thing is always full.
I guess if you are constantly on trigger with a surface cleaner you may want something bigger but for 50/50 trigger use I wouldn’t worry about a 65 gallon with an 8gpm.
