I found what I believe to be a heck of a deal for $3000. A hot water Ramteq 5.5 gpm unit with 225 buffer, 3 wands, 2 surface cleaners, trash pump all included on a 12’ tandem trailer. I have to drive 6 hours to pick it up on Friday however. The only known issue is the hot water does not work at the moment. He believes that it could be the relay. Although for all I know it could be the burner as well. I do primarily residential and will use the cold water most of the time as is.
My question for the community.… In a worst case scenario, what would I be looking at to get the hot water running assuming it were the most expensive component? I have not used a hot water unit before, but would like to venture into
Also, the guying selling this owns a logging company and used this to clean his equipment. He said it just sits most of the time under these pine trees and is used rarely. I offered him $2600 cash and he accepted it. This seems like a really good deal to me.
I paid 3500$ for this setup it’s a 5x10 so a little smaller but it has a newer Honda on it. I’m also in Florida where pressure washers are everywhere so that mite play into the price a little
Whats plan B? The burner coil could be rotted out, check motor, check pump if those work see if water will pump thru the coil and take a gpm test. Check swivels for leaks, all swivels. I think its a good deal if all checks out. Compare title vin to actual vin or trailer serial#.
Rig checked out and worked. Not a bad deal for $2600, and a 700 mile round trip with my Honda Pilot. Definitely going back to a truck before spring house washing season starts back up.
LOL, great question @Dantheman … The guy lived in a very rural area. He used the trash pump to pull water from the river, then ran it through the 2 barrels that are homemade water filters, which then poured into the buffer tank. He used this rig to clean his logging equipment.
