Who Owns one of these?

Jun 7, 2013

I have had something similar, I made myself set up in my trailer for years. If you are not great at "making stuff" this looks like a great way to go!

What happened, and what do you have now ?

Roof Cleaning Severna Park MD · guest

The setup was nice and looked nice, but the pumps never performed well (for me) and kept dying on me very quickly, some stopped working in a day, some in a week. I replaced everything from hoses, quickconnects, fittings thinking it was something on my end and still kept burning through barely used pumps. Also, a lot of the roofs I go for here require the pump to be able to shoot a good bit of distance, but I wasn't ever able to get the distance that I was reading about. I was lucky to get 20' most of the time.

I switched back to the fatboy and have been happy with distance and how much quicker I can knock out a roof vs. a lower GPM pump.

I agree 100%. I bought one of these last year and now it sits in my junk pile. Nothing but trouble. Went back to Fatboys.What a learning trip.

I know a lot of guys who used these and it was great for them, at least until they bought a new skid or built their own system. I think they are good to start out with, I built my own from the start though.

Maybe one of these with dual Fat Boy Roof Cleaning Pumps on it would be nice ?

That would be pretty sweet.

I'm looking forward to a box truck or something else where I don't have to cover the pump because it's a PITA when something goes wrong.

I like Paul Kassander, who makes these dual pump roof cleaning setups. I think Paul wanted to make a reasonable priced rig, and that's why he used these pumps he is using. Perhaps he may want to also offer a more expensive version of what he sells, with either dual Fat Bots, or Dual FloJet Pentaflex pumps ?

Thank You Ron Musgraves for turning me on to the guy in Arizona! I ordered 1000 refrigerator magnets shaped like Apples from him!

I did talk to Paul and received several replacements, kept having the same issues. I understand they have better pumps now, so hopefully the kinks are all worked out. Another guy on a different roof cleaning forum was having the same issues, but again it was probably with the first generation pumps.

I ve seen Paul replace 7000.00 equipment, he truly stands behind his stuff

gutterdog · Jul 7, 2013

What company does Paul work for? I'd like to talk to him about something?

gutterdog · Jul 7, 2013

shop.powerwashstore.com/Generation-II-Twin-Pump-System-w-Titan-Reel-5401-5401.htm

Says this will shoot 50 feet??? And I can fit this on the trailer.

Paul owns the powerwashstore.com. I met him at a seminar in his store in Milwaulkee....He's a great guy. Call him at 855-351-9274.

The link I put above. I'm interested in getting that.

I sent an email.

I'll make them some really nice vids, if it does what it says!

I got to make my guys faster.

No space to add anything new on trailer. but....

I can remove the chem hose reel and put this in its place! Almost same foot print.

I CAN NOT afford any problems with this unit.

I built everything myself before. I had more time than money.

I got more money than time now. Just enough.

Enough money to buy this, link I posted. It is better than what I got now. Or says to be.

I have really high hopes. And if I'm told it will do what they say, field tested before they ship it. It will be on my trailer in a couple of days from now.
