Planning my rig out so I can clean large commercial properties like shopping center sidewalks, buildings, dumpster pads and apartment building breezeways.
Looking at a 5.5gpm/4000psi pressure pro hot water unit with a honda gx660 engine. 300 gallon tank, 14’ utility trailer, rear mounted 200foot pressure hose and garden hose reels.
Is 5.5gpm a big enough leap to allow normal walking speed with a 24" surface cleaner? I think 14’x6’ should be enough to have the unit, water tank, hose reels and leave enough room to add a 4500 watt generator and 30 gallon mix tank.
You can’t push more than a 16 inch surface cleaner comfortable with 5.5gpm. 19inch would be a stretch. You don’t need more than a 65 gallon buffer tank so that will save space. You’ll need 250 of pressure hose is you open on doing breezeways.
That doesn’t change any of my response. Get some of that hot water on a bulb on the sprinkler head in a breezeway and he’ll have more water than he knows what to do with
I have 300 feet of hose. I just keep an extra hundred on the side. Most hose reels only carry 200 and I wouldn’t want to push water through more than 200 feet of hose when I’m doing flatwork otherwise. That extra hundred feet I just haul up to the top floor, drop down and then connect to the truck hose and pull what I need from there.
80 degrees isn’t going to help with grease, but it’s not going to hurt siding either. That’s basically average temp of standing water in most Southern states.
