Hi, I’ve been reading as much as I can for a few weeks before I get into this business. I’m already getting my feet wet with window washing and would like to start getting into cleaning driveways, then house washing and roof cleaning as I learn more.
I’ve come across a pressure washer that appears like it could be a good deal for me, but I haven’t seen much about this brand.
Here is the model specs.
It comes with a GP 20in SC, DS injector, 100ft of hose, and a turbo nozzle for the $1900. I’m fairly weary of this machine because I can’t find much of anything online about the brand, but it is being sold at my local shop right down the road from me and they will do any warranty work. Since it has a comet pump I assume from reading on this forum that it will need warranty work done on it. If the pump goes out after warranty I’ve read that replacing it with a udor gear drive on this engine works well and also pulls water out of the buffer which the direct drive won’t. If you gurus think the machine is OK to buy I will most likely get a 65gal buffer tank and set it up how I’ve seen it suggested on here. I do live in an area that has a pretty solid 8gpm coming out of our homes. I also talked to the mechanic at the store and he claims that he has run 5.5gal PWs for 20 years in the area and has never had a problem with running low on water in the area.
I’d also like to mention that I am a stay at home dad with a baby and toddler and disabled vet so I’m not likely to be doing this full time, but I want to get as much work as my body and schedule allows. I’m not trying to toot my own horn about the diabled vet thing, but just that I have income from that and my wife works too. Her job is pretty shaky right now and in this economy I want to take care of my family as much as I can. I plan on getting my business license and insurance set up in a month or two.
Any advice would be appreciated if I should buy it or move on.
…
you sure!?
