At the time the video was made, I hadn't ever downstreamed. I wouldn't recommend using a hose reel for pressure. I ds frequently now and I just pull off what hose I need and connect it straight to the pw. Having hose rolled up on your reel then pressurizing it can damage both the Jose's and the reel. Most titans are on a long back order right now. I'd look into hannay. I think sprayer depot carries them. Also try washmart.com.

Question. I have an ever flow 5.5 using a 1/2 hose (75 feet), 3/4 suction about 3 feet long. and it's popping fuses like crazy. I haven't even tried adding the rest of the hose. What am I doing wrong?

You may have too large of a battery, too large or too small 9f cables. I'd consult an automobile mechanic who is familiar with 12v DC.

You want a dn10 ball valve. I believe suttner makes them. Any pressure washing supply store has them. You could order one from WashMart.com. Fast shipping

A 4000psi 4gpm is able to run that 24inch surface cleaner? That seems way to big for that machine.

It worked, but slowly. I used that sc because my uncle gave it to me. I've since upgraded to two 8gpm's

I’m not far from you. Just out 290 in Cypress. Currently unemployed and looking to get into this. Make some money even if I don’t stick with it. I have a small 2.5 gpm washer, 15” surface washer , truck and trailer. Think I’ll start with flat work and build up to a soft wash. Any tips you can give me would be great. Still trying to figure out quoting.

Honestly, for flatwork, you are wasting your time with anything under 4gpm. I run a 4gpm currently and will be upgrading to 8gpm as soon as I can afford to. I did my first 2 driveways with a 2.5gpm and they took me 3hrs each. I immediately purchased a 4gpm from Northern tool for $700. Now, 4 car driveways take about 45 mins
