19 all day for your purposes
Same swivel in both
One draw back to four nozzles on a 4gpm machine is that it won’t take much to clog such a small nozzle. Maybe 19 inch with 2 nozzles would be best. All speculation as I have no 4 gpm machines
19 perhaps 16…did not realize it(the 19) has casters …it’s only 35 more than the 16 but with those casters and no it may be wise to do the 16 in stead based on less mobility?? Not sure why they put casters on a 19
.@Innocentbystander Thanks…Talked to Whisper Wash and they said the main diff on the UC and the Classic was the shroud composition and the handle. Noticed your eagle was a 19 w/o casters?
As for clogging the nozzles I can run an in line 100 mesh high pressure filter at the trigger inlet…unless you are talking about clogging from debris blow back…BTW…I thought I saw your Eagle and trailer on a YouTube video from 2016? Anywho thanks for all your patience…That 19 WW UC for under 450 is not “too expensive”…lol…
If you are wondering about the 4" per gallon thing, it’s not a big deal. I had same engine as you (390, 4GPM/4k) and ran a Mosmatic surface cleaner with a 19" bar. I never had a problem with it. That’s not to say that a 16" wouldn’t be more efficient, you would have to compare them side by side and see, but i never noticed a problem with the 19".

I can see no possible reason for castors. They drop off the sidewalk, get hung up in expansion joints, are never level. Maybe if you were doing parking garages. This was just a random search but this is what I use. Just have to add an elbow at the swivel. Some older ones came with 1/4 jump lines when they were trying to save a dollar. They went back to 3/8’s but some may be in stock somewhere with the smaller hose. Better to call and check. 19 or 16 you will be happy. Just don’t get one with the built in handle.

I’ve got some videos floating around out there from when I did some roundtable stuff. Problem is I’m not real computer savvy and forget how to access them on the youtube thing.
@Innocentbystander…Yeah I agree with the no casters 100 per cent. SS has the model with for 445 …I wonder if they can get me the no caster model for the same price…I mean no casters should cost more unless SS got a deal on them…They don’t show a no castor 19 and PT only sells the 16. I assume these are drop shipped from WW?
Just know that a 19" all steel surface cleaner with a 4 gpm pump won’t float. IBS is using 8 gpm and higher machines. May consider adding your own casters later if you don’t get them now. Aluminum flat stock bent at a 90, some carriage bolts, and $2 casters can be put on a surface cleaner in an hour. Just make sure they’re evenly spaced or things can get wonky.
@squidskc It’s ABS and has casters-the 19 WW UC and weighs 19… The 16 WW UC w/out weighs 15. I am having problems with the gist of your post.
Will a 4gpm/4000 psi create enough hover force to not have to drag it it? The casters only add weight and I guess I would ask does a 4g/4000 have enough pressure to float a Classic or UC side to side. Bob told me he did his driveway with a 20(19) Classic no problem…Don’t think that has casters till you get to the 24 Ground force. The 19 only has a 17 bar so I am barely exceeding the 4"/gallon…I could buy the WW UC w/ casters and remove them if it had a brush…which I am not sure. WW sells the 19 UC in both configs for the same price…Bob and Russ do not have the no caster version listed on their site. Bottom line…does a 4g/4000 PW have the power to float a 19 w/ out casters?
Thanks!
As long as the one Russ has has a skirt you should be able to take the castors off. Anywhere there is a hole you have a weak link though. Mine have been ran over and abused. Jb weld, new skirts and clips, improvised stitching etc but they are still making money.
I saw SS. Thought it meant stainless. Sorry. Should’ve read instead of skimmed. ABS should have a skirt so you don’t chew up the ABS. I still run the 2 ABS GP surface cleaners. Hot water for restaurant concrete I use a steel one with back tires and a centered front caster and I hate it, but its what I have for now.
IBS wasn’t joking about it getting caught on everything.
SS…Southside…Will a 4gpm/4000psi float it with a 2" brush w/o casters?
Thanks!
The 2 GPs get run on a 5 gpm and a 4 gpm machine residentially. It’s less important that it floats with the brush, but they will need to be replaced eventually.
It should be noted that I don’t really like any of the 3 surface cleaners we currently have. Here within the next week I have to decide on whether or not buy a 8 gpm machine new from pressuretek or a used 8 gpm Landa. I’ll buy a 36" and a 16" surface cleaner for either.
The two requirements: Attach my own trigger gun and work for hot water and cold water. 36" for drive throughs and 16" for patios with fixed tables.
In complete seriousness, business has been good and I’m lucky enough that I can now make purchasing decisions on these two questions: What is IBS using? What is Racer using? Doesn’t mean I always go that route, but most of the time it does.

yes. If you have no intentions of upgrading down the line get the 16 inch and be done with it. Stop typing, make the order, get you a machine also, some cool t shirts, these boots
and go make a dollar.

“I’m the Law around these part’s”… lol, That should go with the pic.
I’d stop typing and start buying if I can get a straight answer to a straight question. Will a 4gpm/4000 float a 19 WW UC or Classic or is the flow too low? BTW…I have a machine…lol…you guys need to put the bong down or pick one up.
Awesome boots
