I’m tired of dealing with batteries for my Fatboy. Can I rig it up to just plug in to one of my Hydrotek skid’s outlets? I don’t know anything about wiring or electrical stuff if you can’t tell.
I never use it by itself. It’s only for roofs or brick or stucco or treating concrete. I’ve never rinsed with it. I rinse with my 2nd machine so it would always be on.
Just run a decent gauge wire from your 12v over to your battery terminals. Easy peasy.
Edit: oh my goodness nevermind I just reread and saw he’s going to be running the gasser all the time. Don’t mind me lol
What does Hydotek use for battery cables? You might could use these to add your lil pump into the mix. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F254349086912
what could be so hard about a battery. Never needs to come off the trailer unless it is being replaced.
@anon37135677 did you ever get your problem fixed?
I have two batteries daisy chained together. Both run the Skid and the roof pump. I still charge it twice a week.
Me too. Im thinking about installing a meter to know what charge i am at.
Which one? Lol. Switching to 1/2 from 3/8 hose and using the ball valve wand instead of the gilmore gun helped a lot with the flow. I’ve never had a problem with the battery I just use what came with the pump and don’t have a switch set up yet. Using a 15 gallon tank sucks though. I need to find a place to buy a bigger one at a decent price asap even if I have to cross the border to buy it. Any ideas where I can find one?
How big @anon37135677 ? I’m shopping around for five 25 gallon chem tanks, I was at the Tractor supply and they had some nice 35 gallon chem tanks @ a decent price for ya. To big for me but may be sweet 4 you
A 35 would be perfect. I’ll take a look at their site right now
If you want one i can hook you up with a 35 or 65 for alot cheaper.
For doing roofs i would say get atleast 50+
@anon37135677 wants a 35, I’m looking for 5 25’s. I used your price matching advice the other day on tractor supply vs menards on a 55gallon tool tote. You saved me 25 bucks @Grizz. Thank ya. The Tractor supply does not thank ya. Lol
I use 55gal clear poly drums
I need to save these pics.
Im running the 65 gallon for batch mixing.
If you can get by with 20 gallon tanks there are those vertical rectangle for about $100 a piece with free shipping. I’m sure you saw that thread so probably already know about them.
I ended up finding 2 15 gallon tanks for free. But those ones are awesome.
What site are these pictures from?
Yep I love the TSC price match. I took a print out of the cheapest Norwesco 325 gallon tank I could find online and took it in there. Got it for almost $125 cheaper.
