I recommend trying to get your equipment sooner than later. The residential market starts in late March early April, depending on the region.

@PWProducts do you have an 18hp hot water vanguard 5.5?

I hate to be that guy but I’ve googled your last three questions you’ve asked the forum and found what you needed in seconds. Do you use google? I literally just typed what you wrote and found all the answers in less than 30 seconds.

Here is where you can find the EXACT washer you are looking for

Cody, we do have the Vanguard. I can post the link and price but it’s going up on March 1 for all Pressure Pro dealers.

@PWProducts thank you. @dperez I wanna buy from Lori is why I asked her

I am getting ready to purchase an 8gpm @ 3500psi, and they want an additional couple hundred for a remote mounted K7 unloader, can you tell me the pros/cons of this? This capacity of washer is new to me, I currently have a 3100psi 2.8 gpm machine, and wonderring if the couple hundred will ROI in short time?

He literally gave the “pros” in this thread, just scroll up.

It’s going to ROI everytime you pull the trigger, lol. Much easier on your body.

If I was forced to run a pressure trapped unloader I’d quit and find something else to do. To be honest I could take a nasty fall having the deal with that nasty kick back.

I started with a hitch basket off the back of my JKU. Pressure pro machine, 150’ of hose, and a surface cleaner. I paid that off in 2 weekends of work. So 4 days and I paid the credit card off. Start NOW! Start small if you have to.

That doesnt mean waste money having to re buy stuff. It means buy with the plan of expanding. Do what you have to do but starting today is better than waiting. All you are doing is losing money by waiting. I now have a 5x10 trailer that I tow with my Jeep. I only run a 4 GPM machine because I dont run a water tank. I have a 35g mix tank and a 65g SH tank and a few more goodies but I’m only doing houses and averaging 150/hr working myself mostly on Fridays only.

Thurs. I did a whole house for 765.00. It took me 5 hours but I rinsed the roof. It was getting pictures taken the next am for listing for sale. It had to look as good as possible and I didnt want over night rain messing up my concrete below. Friday I did a small house. It took 2 hours and it was 300. Sat I did a large house for a guy I know from another forum. Siding only on a 4000sf 2 story. Did it all with a shooter tip. It took 2 hours and was 350. I also did a small section of fence for a fencing contractor as a favor. 1 hr 100.00. 90% of my work is scheduled for my Fridays off. My main job is too good to quit. Every other weekend I’ll work a Sat or Sun. This is my side hustle and its been pretty profitable.

What vendor did you get your machine at @Racer

I purchased the pressure pro 8gpm/3500 psi machine with optional remote mount K7 unloader.
What the unloader does (flow sensing) is reduce the kickback when pulling trigger among other benefits.
It flow 8 gpm and puts out 3500 psi despite what some may say. I really dont care if it’s 3000 psi or 3500 psi, but, it will strip the top coating of concrete if not carefull, and will shoot 40 feet into the air with no wind. And rinses FAST. Expensive, but, it’s a good engine and a “relatively” good pump.
