    Thank so much for your review on that pump. I was about to order one, but now I’m looking for other options, because I really don’t want to deal with all that headache and down time. I got a huge job coming up, and I’ll need the portability of the gas pump, but also something reliable. You saved me again! Thank you Sir. God Bless.

    My AR45 hasn't got too many hours and for some reason the pressure hose blew out of the housing and broke the stainless clip holes out. I have had to order the top manifold like you did, just different reason. Sprayer Depot wouldn't talk warranty, they said for warranty I would have to send the whole pump back to factory for their inspection. Warranty seems to be a joke!

    • @housewashing5693
      @housewashing5693  2 роки тому

      Holy crap! I wonder if your unloader failed? Or hell, it could of been cracked from the factory? Companies always seem to be able to wiggle out of warranty repairs! I bought a brand new Interstate Marine battery for $130. It failed at 13 months. I took it back and they said it was warrantied for 12 months and I was screwed. Since when are batteries warranted for a year? I know there is a tiny clock with shorting capabilities inside these batteries!!!

    I've called three different power wash stores brian from midwest power wash outlet and somewhere else all 3 people who owned the store all recommended the comet. Funny thing is most guys online washing have to ar45 so who knows. The good thing is all three guys listed why they would go with comet over ar45 and all responses were basically the same

    • @housewashing5693
      @housewashing5693  2 роки тому

      I got different answers myself. Most said either one is better than the other. North Georgia airless said parts were hard to get for the Comets. So I really don't know myself.

    Great video got my AR 45 coming from enviro spec mounting to predator 212 i have a question about the discharge line did u run 1/2 barb connection on both pump and reel? I was thinking threaded npt or maybe even pex so i dont have a blow out also do u think if i ran 3/4 for discharge line would make a difference flow wise or keep it 1/2 cuz I'm was told to run 5/8 spray hose from couple people but envirospec recommended running 1/2 spray hose so the pump doesn't work as hard so running a larger diameter hose to reel connections probably not necessary idk just trying to get much info as i can thanks

    • @housewashing5693
      @housewashing5693  Рік тому +1

      Your 45 will come with a 1/2 barb outlet. I run a 1/2 barb fittings on my reel too. No need to up size the line from your pump to reel. I tried and compared 5/8 hose to my 1/2 hose. I didn't see a noticeable difference. Keep it simple. Use 1/2 all the way. Buy 1/2 x 600 to 800 psi ag hose.

      1/2 inch ag hose for the pressure side. Suction tubing for the suction side. I don't know the size of your valves and such so that will be determined by your other accessories?
