Mine a an old Ninfish Gerni truck water blaster it is power by an 11hp honda Its very old but still runs really well. Problem cant buy them,any more or even buy parts for it any more. But parts on other water blaster fit unlike to days water blaster that are made of aluminum the whole thing made of brass it wont wait out So I can just keep repairing the check valves on it puts out 9 gal per minute (36lt per minute At 3600 psi. All I got to do is keep replacing check valves it should last for ever

Question: Tacoma 4 door w/ five foot bed and a truck box , small imprint 100 gal tank (sliding Bed extender and gate down). 5.5 gpm unit works w/o water issues !!! at 4000 psi; Honda 630cc unit $4000 JNequipment 8.0 gpm preferred but small water tank: about 3000 psi 690cc unit $3700 Plumber in Hawaii (live by the beach w/ chickens and goats, plus vacation rental on site) I heard to run the Honda 390cc motor at 5 gpm is a struggling issue and need power to move drain roots etc. Rylie just purchased 2, 4 door taco's ( or 1 Tesla?)

Would you recommend a gx 690 8gpm machine? Ive got the green but ive heard they dont put out the avertised 8 gpm 3500 psi. Im tempted just to but a bigger motor like a Kohler 27hp and fab my own skid??

It’s not about the PSI. It’s about gallons per minute. You will never use 3500 psi in fact when we’re cleaning most things you don’t even want to use 5 to 800 psi

8gpm is the best tool to use. You can't argue that a less efficient machine is better.

I disagree. Using that logic, you should just buy 2 eights and Siamese them together all the time. Business model is everything when determining equipment. If I’m a solo guy doing 1 or 2 jobs daily with no employees then the 10 minutes per job I’d save with 8 doesn’t benefit me that much. Actually in this scenario I’d probably just go with a 4 GPM. No plumbing or buffer tank issues to deal with and I can spend that money on nicer hose reels, advertising or whatever. If I decide to expand or grow the business then I can bump up to 8 and still have the 4 as a backup.

What if the 8gpm only comes with 3500 psi & the 5.5 gpm comes with 4200 psi ? Which would do the better surface cleaning job?

Can you connect the water supply from the home directly to the 8gpm machine or do you need a tote/buffer?

I used a setup like this. You will get the flow but you won't actually hit that 2500. In theory yes a 13hp machine will produce those numbers but with the one I used it was maxed at around 2200psi 8gpm. I borrowed this unit from a buddy of mine, and I used it for about 2 weeks for house wash and driveways. In all my years of pressure washing I don't think I've ever used over 2000psi so the answer is YES this set up works for most cleanings.

My best friend has right at 100 Circle K gas stations that he cleans every month and that's what he uses. It's incredible how much he makes and he solos every job with a 48inch surface cleaner. The money he makes is insane. He just replaced the third pump, but this time he upgrade to an Udor with similar specs. With that much use I'm not sure how much that will matter though??

You left out the consideration of GPM flow at the spigot. If you are doing residential, there is NO need for anything bigger than a 5.5 GPM machine. NONE. The few minutes you could save on a job, is far outweighed by the flow issues and a possibly starved/burned up pump. I like you Jason, but sometimes you make no sense or give poor advice. You have to remember that not everywhere is like Cincinnati Ohio. If you are going to sell people your "training", then it should be accurate information, man. No one in this business should even be looking at an 8+ GPM unless they are running crews, or they are doing a fair amount of commercial. Just like a hotbox, no one needs one unless they are cleaning up grease/oil, washing trucks, or working in the cold. I agree, there should be a healthy marketing budget, BUT that too, depends on your location. Poastcards make work some places, other places it may be facebook, yelp, google ads, or what have you. It takes experimentation to find that out. There is NO be all, end all to marketing that universally works everywhere.

I see your point here.. I have a 4gpm and 2-8gpm with the use of a buffer tank the flow at the clients house doesn’t play a role. I used a 8gpm by myself for 2 years it dramatically speeds up the rinse time. Going from 1.5 hours a house to 1 hour per house (on average) I do use the 4gpm as well it definitely comes in handy. I agree hear is never needed except for oil and grease. I do not own a hot box.
