I'm unsure about your post Mike. Where there supposed to be pictures or are you asking questions. Abbreviated statements leave me scratching my head... You're staying up too late!

That's the language of the dog. You start to nderstand after a few years. Kinda.

I'm getting some stuff tomorrow. I'm having different thoughts again. How I'm going to use it. It's gonna get used.

Trailers have to stay small.

8gpm is too much for residential. without a huge buffer, a 275. no room for a 12 volt dedicated.

8gpm would be used for rinsing, or larger surface cleaner. Could run 2 surface cleaners with both trailers on commercial.

The 5gpm trailer would be used for applying soap/chem.

The 8gpm trailer would have 1 or 2 275 gallon totes for water supply. I could look into getting a fire hydrant permit to pull water and go with one tote.

This is all kinda a new thinking for me. A HUGE opportunity I wasnt ready for.

The 8gpm is too much for residential. The 5 gpm buffer goes empty many times on residential.

8gpm does not need hot water, only the 5.

also we are going 12 volt hot water. The 110v generator is already taken. I got a decent 110v burner, anyone want it?

Mike your understanding might be off a little. The 8gl min should be the go to machine and used all the time! We ran the 8 gl for 3 yrs on a 100 gl tank with a float in it on top we lost 10 gl so it was a 90 gl water tank and it worked for us in PA even on wells. I would want to rinse a house with 5 gl after using a 8gl.

I'm gonna get it tomorrow. It's gonna sit for a couple weeks. Gotta make the money. I think I got a pretty good idea.

This latest bid... I want to get into this. I wasnt ready.

Get what? The trailer or 8 GPM PW?

Gotta make the money? How about make the money first with what you already have!

The latest bid... you want to get into this. Just what do you mean? Pay attention to what Eric told you. You put the cart in front of the horse Mike. Stop jumping into something you just thought of and listen to what people tell you. It's your business to run as you wish but why ask for the advice/opinion of others then do the opposite?

I got the 8gpm from Eric! Some tanks too. I am now looking at vertical 12 v 8gpm hot boxes. Maybe I can get, all what I'm thinking, on one trailer, put the water supply tank on the truck. Used only when needed?

Going from 5 to 8, I gotta have that extra water.

gutterdog · Approved Exterior Cleaner

I get it now!!!!

8gpm or 5gpm, it's still the same amount, of water, for the siding wash. You just move faster.

That why I got the bigger chit.

....Takes me a lil time...

That is all I use for residential is 8 gallons. Only a couple houses that had real slow flow That I had to stop and wait on. I got rid of my Hot water machine. Didn't need it.
