I'm just not a big fan of having the exhaust aiming towards the gas container. LOL...

Other than that it looks damn good. The only other issue that I would say you MAY run into would be the size of the tank for Roof Cleaning chems. We do some pretty big Roofs and I always seem to just make it on having a fresh load of mix especially if we do more than 2-3 in a day. I have a 125 gal and a 50gal and I'm getting ready to add another 120 for more mix.

Point taken, Thanks.

This would be a Great starter rig. But you will find as your Business grows (This can be fast) that you will out grow this rig quickly (Found this out in 1 year).

Size Matters.... 8gpm PW...12 ft trailer... hang reels from ladder rack, to free up room on trailer. re-size tanks as needed. Change color of trailer, Red..Blue anything other than Black. Make yourself stand out, be VISIBLE, everybody has a Black Trailer.

Yes this will cost extra, but the extra cost will pay for itself in just a few months.

Bob is a good friend, and knows his stuff when building these trailers

Good Luck!!!

I'm in the process of building the most efficient starter rig for doing both house and roof cleaning.  Over the last 10 days or so i've been reading posts till my head explodes.  There are several things I don't quite understand but here is where I'm at for now.

Bob from Pressure Tek is going to build it as follows:

I've decided on a trailer (5'x8') with ladder rack

Fat boy pump

5.5 belt driven Pressure washers

3 hose reels ( 250' for pump, 250' for PW, 200' regular res. hose)

3 tanks (125gal for roofs, 65gal for house, 40gal water mounted in the back of truck)

X-jet or the new newer version that that I can't remember.

Here are some pictures Bob sent me that it would look like.  The tanks will be different.

How does this look?  Are there any major flaws in my thinking?

Looks good! One thing take a sharpie and highlite the 120 mark on the roof cleaning tank so it is obvious that it is set up to hold 120 gallons of SH solutions. The DOT will bust ya if you are on the road with more than 119 gallons. They will give ya some grace at 120. No one makes a 119 gallon tank.

 

 

 

Thanks

You will need a bigger tank for water and less for house wash. we only have 15 gal. tanks for house wash and if you do any residential with wells you will find out that more water is needed. I would recommend for a starter to get-
120 gal. for just the love
100-200 gal. for just water
35 gal. for a roof mix (you take it out of the 120 and mix it)
5-15 gal. for house wash (You take it out of the 120 and mix it)

I do not like the X-jet or M-jet use down stream-Just my opinion (I do it differently)
Also talk to tom at ARC and get used stuff.

I do not handle the memberships, but I THINK we can make an exception for you. It is not your fault that Gary is Ill, so I am going to go out on a limb here, and send you the password. You can pay Gary when he gets better, OK ?
Pay no attention to this roof cleaning tampa sentence, I am just trying to do a little SEO Experiment that if successful may benefit us all.
