How To Build A Budget Soft Wash Setup For $474

This is everything I used when I first got into the business. I used it for soft washing, roof cleaning, and heavy equipment degreasing. As I mention in the video, this is just a budget soft wash setup for those who are starting out. I recommend reinvesting your money back into a more efficient setup! Thanks for watching! I'll list the parts below and where you can get them. Shop around, I'm sure there may be places that have these cheaper.

Seeing this video helped me visually understand lol. The NPT to barbed part, I understood the npt screws to the pump but I was like how in the hell do you put the barb in the hose. Clearly I didn’t even think about having to cut the tip off the garden hose and use the clamps to secure it to the barb😂. I guess I’m one of them special learners 🤣

Thanks. I watched the other videos and it seem like no one could really make it clear on what you needed. So it sounds like it’s basically a tank then hoses from the tank to one side of the pump then another holes come out the other side of the pump straight to your gun. I feel like I can get started now.

Amazing video straight to the point thank you so much

[jackcutting]

Hey, thanks for taking your time to make this. How high up can that pump get you when using for a roof?

[vectorr]

Question, with a setup like this how long could you clean for? Isn't it only a few minutes of cleaning?

[ChadAmI]

Thank you for a very helpful video. I just registered my business this week and I am looking for more budget options. I plan to reinvest all money back into the biz so I can upgrade, but this setup looks like where I should be starting. What size is the Northern Tool chem tank?

[danharvey]

You mentioned 1/2” hose over 5/8” hose… I’m a homeowner only looking to clean my own siding from the ground. In your experience, which hose diameter should I be getting?

[KingdomKleenPW]

I love it man.... Did you run surfactant at all? or no?

[jonboysprowash]

Do you have to un reel the entire hose to keep, the right flow with the Flexzilla?

[chrisogletree]

Nice setup how big is that chemical tank?

[javonfreeman]

You went from 5/8s to 1/2. Are you getting better reach out of the 1/2 flexzilla hose is that why you switched?

[dayinthelifeofkev]

What do you do about rinsing ? Would I be able to take the hose out of the chemical tank and put it in the water tank to rinse ?

[bee]

So basically a pump hose going to a chemical bucket and the other end to the gun?

[sharkbait]

Hey thanks for th video! I’m kinda confused on why every video I watch, people have a biggo tank like you have. Why do you need that? Is that a water tank? If so, what is it for? Don’t you use the costumers water?

[christiancordero]

Quick question sense you have more experience in the field, the buffer tank goes connected to the pressure washer and the customers spicket filling the tank as you preasure wash is this how it goes?

[timsteinbis]

You thinking installing a Proportioner before the pump would be better?

[bartmason]

Does the pump just pull the chem/water mix from the tank, do you need another tank for water in order to rinse, or does a water source from the house feed into the pump someway…which I would think dilute your mix, pretty confused

[adolfosalguero]

Should i change the fuse on that harness wiring or the one that comes with Should be fine?

[justind]

Hey brother. Thanks for the info. In regards to the hose, is it a special hose for chemical or is that a regular garden hose?
