A ball valve and a hose swivel are two major things that make life less of a pain in the a#*. Also will save you time.
For trying to be a professional you sure are trying to cut a lot of corners…
but go ahead, run your hose without those two things for a few months and then spend the ~60 bucks and you will wonder why the heck you didn’t get them in the first place.
Trey, where did I say I wasn’t going to use those items? I plan on purchasing them. I was simply asking what they were for. Go back and read though. I plan on getting everything I need to get into this industry. I wish I had more money to have a setup like yours. Just because I ask a few questions, does make me any less professional than you. I thought this was a place to come and get help. Questions answered. Am I at the wrong place?
While pressure washing forums are the best places to field new ideas and learn about the tried and true ones, you will find that it is an absolute truth that people are most willing to help those who help themselves. QUICK CONNECTS. It is after all that you can do that the best and most helpful advice will come. There are many who will share their years of experience with someone who is trying but will quickly freeze up when someone arrives to a contractors forum with the expectation of a free ride into what most of us have fought and starved to achieve. Use the search buttons on the forums and watch some videos on you tube etc. etc. Have a great day…I’m going to play with caustic soda for a while.
My bad, didn’t mean to sound like that. Woke up on the wrong side of bed with a major headache this morning.
Anyway, I was just trying to save you some headache…Trying to help you out with my personal experiences starting up…I wouldn’t tell you BS.
From the other day it just kinda frustrated me when everybody automatically writes off a tank because their PW is a low enough GPM. Key reason is just 2 days ago I was doing a patio at a townhouse and thank god I had a buffer tank because their source was only putting out lousy 3.4 gpm. You would have been in trouble.
I will just see if Thad can shut this thread down. Try to get the search working for my future questions, or just talk to the few guys I know. The search box didn’t when I tried the other day.
