Greetings to all. New member here but I certainly have been enjoying everyone’s posts over the last six months. We can never get enough information in life so I truly enjoy learning.
My question is this and please I want the gods to honest truth from everyone. Have a small window cleaning business and want to get into the soft washing business. My question is this I’m looking for a system for under $2,000 not including battery, battery charger or tank. Have some experience with power washing and soft washing so I’m not one hundred percent in the dark. I played around with SH but I will be honest because I know someone’s going to ask I’ve never gone beyond ten point o s h.
why yes there’s a huge difference between 10 and 12.5 I’m fully aware of that. It’s all about baby steps.
So the systems I’ve been looking at are the following.
Maverick
Fatboy bandit
Water dragon generation 3.
I’m looking for advice so please go easy on me but be truthful and honest because that’s why I’m reaching out I need your help.
Just to give you guys a little bit of information I will be using a Nissan NV SV 200 minivan. Payload is i1450 lb not the most in the world but it will hold a hundred gallon tank and a system. Any advice would be great and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
I’m guessing the 4200 is a 4gpm. What’s wrong with downstreaming? You can also build yourself a nice 12v setup for relatively cheap if you need a stronger mix
Building my own seems hard. Have limited knowledge and little time. why yes I understand that you can save money and learn in the process that would obviously probably be my best choice. but with juggling work family life it just seems smarter for me to purchase one call it what you will perhaps it’s the easier route and the lazy route.
You just got your answer from 3 people. Do a bit more of researching on softwashing and you’ll realize you pretty much already have what you need to do it the most efficient and practical way
Yes. Don’t waste your money on a fancy gimmick. You have what you need. If you need a strong mix because you’ll be washing a lot of stucco, build yourself a 12v pump. A 5.5gpm - 7gpm will do you good. What you’ll need is the pump, 200ft hose, gun, Chem tank, battery, and charger. If you are washing mainly vinyl, I would bother wasting my time and would just get a x-jet since you’ll hardly need to use it.
That’s something I can’t tell you… Because I honestly don’t feel like looking it up and doing the math. I can guarantee that you will save money and learn while you do it. It will be done a lot easier than you think.
No. You need a stronger mix for roofs. You’ll only get around 10-1 with your DS injector. You can control your mix using a 12v. I’d do a ton of research before considering doing roofs
