If you're not proficient with a voltage meter or the layout of a hot water machine, do yourself a favor and take it to a shop before you cost yourself more money. Pressure switch, t-stat, igniter, burner switch, relay all come into play. If you're not sure what is what and how to check it, you can't be talked through it on the computer.

Too many "What If's" to give proper advice. Take it to your local shop have it fixed and be done with it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Really cool guy in Nev. made it for me, awesome welder! It's a 20 gal tank that feeds both engines. The chrome wheels will really set it off when they come in. If you want I'll pm his info to you. Understand though it wasn't cheap.

Only thing better than the Shelby, would be the Ford GT-40. But I'm a Mustang kinda Guy, so I'd go Shelby.

I thinking hard about this one, I hear very good things about Matt's events..........I need another pressure washer like I need another hole in my head.

Nope, this is set up for residential work. We do very little flatwork. Yep, that unit is still for sale. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks Doug! It's been fun building this, and a pain in the butt. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Bought and sold John. Trying to finish up the trailer I've been building. Picked up another trailer unit a couple of weeks ago. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Stainless, but I don't think they are truly stainless, but a great swivel none the less. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I like the super swivels. Been using them for years.

Why not buy 2 (8) gpm units and hook them together or just run them separately? Will this be a hot water set-up? Running 16 gpm you're going to have to move up in hose diameter, 1/2" or more. Weight & cost will be a factor. You can clean concrete just as effectively with 2500-3000 psi at those gpm's, why 4k? I would have to say you'd need to run 50-60 hp may be less with a diesel. I'd go with the Udor gkc pumps Should be a pretty cool project though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Think you've got that backwards John. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm gonna be visiting Family in Smithfield Va. next week. Thought I'd bring a rig and wash my Sisters Home. Anybody in the area wanna get together and shoot the crap, give me a holler.

Come and gone Buddy. My Sister & I had my visit planed out pretty good then she gets called for jury duty the whole week. So I washed her house & stripped & stained her deck. Guess it was a working vacation:) While I was in the area I was asked to wash a couple of houses, so that paid for the trip. Maybe next time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good call Rod. I thought that because these are hot water machines they would have a buffer tank. Buffer tanks are plumbed so water doesn't continually bypass through your pump causing heat build up. With a buffer tank water bypasses to the tank and lower temp water is pulled to the pump from the tank. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Possibly, but if that happened there would be a lot of smoke or a strong fuel smell. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is why there are pressure relief valves or pop off valves on hot water PW's. It just happens and I'm not sure you can do anything about this, unless you just cut the burner off and run some cold water through the system. Once off the gun and burner cuts off the water is "Trapped" behind the unloader in the coil. Water in the coil absorbs the left over heat of the metal coils and will raise the water temp in the coil. Most coils are sch. 80 pipe which is heavy duty and takes a lot of psi to burst them. If the temp does get to high, the thermal relief or pop off valve will open and pressure is relieved from the system. For the record I've been using hot water skids for 5 years and have never had a problem.

I would do a profit analysis on the different areas you're looking at. And go from there. Take into account your season length. Good Luck! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It was taken down. Similar thing happened to me last year. Won the bidding, seller emails me and says I need to wire them the money...red flag! I email them back and tell them to give me a phone # and I would pay in person. No reply. Scam. Becareful. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wanted to post this for all of the TGS friends. I posted this on a couple of other forums for folks looking to rebuild they're trailers. Well got some time to start tearing down the unit I bought in Fla. last year. It's 5'1/2 x 12' there will be a 8 gpm hot skid up front, 8 gpm cold on the back, 4 Titan reels hanging from the rack (2 high psi, 1 roof, 1 fill) 525 gal tank, air gaped hydrant fill to tank, roof rig, 2...35gal chem tanks, 1... chem 50gal tank. Trailer brakes all the way around. Had my good Friend & Great American "Dale Ray" replace some angle and channel iron, re-weld a few things, and should be finished tomorrow. Then it's off to be sand blasted and painted with epoxy primer and polyurethane PPG paint. Kind of undecided on paint color, but it will be bright and eye catching for sure..................Any Color Suggestions?? Also if you were building this trailer, what else would you add to it??

O she's not finished yet, just haven't had time to complete yet...almost there though. Custom fab polished aluminum fuel tank should be in tomorrow.

You need to move to the 2 wire hose. Yea it weighs more but lasts longer. Mine last a year or more.

David, 6k for a 3k rig? Yea a little high. Why the rush? Winter is almost here, can't make money with a pressure washer when it's freezing. Slow Down, Take Your Time. Between now and Spring you could be putting together a "Killer Business Plan". So that when you start in the Spring you come out like "Gang Busters". There will be plenty of good used equipment on the market soon. Again search ebay & craigslist. Good Luck!

Depends on "Oxidation Factor". If aluminum siding is oxidized badly, I walk away. Only way I'd wash it would be if it's for paint prep.
