Air pump setup question

Soft Washing

Hi guys. I’ve been searching forum for a while but not sure if it is good idea to use an air diaphragm pump for house washing ? Please advise what is + and - to wash houses with air pump setup.

I’m thinking about this setup

Pro mix a lot v3 that Frank sells on FB.

5/8 flex tech hose

Most soft washing jobs is house washing and I’ve been down streaming it before with 4 gpm and 4000 psi but looking to upgrade for more performance + add roof washing as well.

P.s. tried to change a user name with a smartphone with no luck will try to do it from PC… )

I would say you want more 11 cfm …for that price you can get a air compressor with around 20 cfm if you search the site you will find …

Thank you.
Do you think I need just more cfm or hp as well ?

Cheaper and more cfm

But i wouldn’t buy a air set up for washing houses. Its great to have, but not my first choice for most houses. Not enough pressure in rinsing.

So downstream is the better option?

Not that downstreaming is better or worse, but your able to still clean most surfaces with it. Its cheaper to add an Xjet to than a dedicated system.

I think a dedicated system is a great tool to have on a truck, but it doesnt replace the pressure washer in terms of house washing. Dedicated is great for stucco and pre-treating really bad surfaces, but pressure helps a lot.
