Hey @Hotshot
Show him the lil bull you built @Firefighter4hire , that be perfect for him.
My trailer
Yeahā¦
So by ditching the bypass, and the gauge itāll help my flow/gpm/psi? Ideally I would like the downstream injector/bypass by the hose reels, but that will come after some more cash flow.
For now I will remove the gauge, and the bypass line. Think a 5x10 enclosed trailer is ok? Wanted something different
You gonna pull it with the compass ?
Thats terrible pic. you got a much nicer one than that hazy mess, its on the passenger sidepicture @Firefighter4hire
To be honest its nice but youll out grow it within 2 years but the resale values are high so it wonāt be hard to resell. Most on here go 12 or 14ā i gotta 16ā and have no room left but i also have 2 hot machines on it with a 550 gallon buffer.

It is how it works jake, Iāll have to correct you on that one, not negatively but a āprofessional correctionā as one member called it in the other thread where ibs said an 18 inch is the most you can effectively run on an 8gpm machine. Your answer with the swimming pool and water tower is correct individually but wrong collectively in term of how these direct drives work. The idea behind raised tanks or water levels quite a bit higher than the bulkhead on direct drive setups isnāt to mimic garden hose pressure but to have positive flow out of the tank to keep the inlet of the pump primed and fed while itās running, Iāve always told people that are doing these kinds of setups for whatever reason to use a 1 inch barb fitting right off the pump inlet along with a 1 inch feed hose from lowest part of a tank and usually get a sideways look like Iām an idiot itās mostly from beginners that havenāt got any field experience only internet theory and some experts that have jumped right into a belt drive or gear drive machine and donāt really understand the fundamentals of a very basic direct drive setup because they havenāt had to. Iāve scoured the internet to demonstrate what Iām explaining in a video and found a cowboy thatās willing to run the pump dry for a bit in the name of science. keep in mind heās doing the complete opposite of what Iāve explained above and heās getting it to work. I hope these theoryās and speculations that direct drives donāt work on buffer tanks due to no suction or too many rpm are laid to rest. And yes direct drives are trash, donāt use them professionally.
