I think this will get other people inspired to use it and continue making it better. Thanks Mike. Great job! 👏🏼 Can’t wait to see it in action.
Hey Mike, Happy blessed Sunday. So grateful to you for all your videos and knowledge. You gave me a great idea. Not only did you remind me of the throttle on the predator engine but also the back up for the 12 V. So I Turned my proportioner plate sideways and was able to mount my 1" proportioner and my remco 7gp on the same plate as a back up. Using 1" on everything and it all works great. seeing high flow rate and distance on both. Wish I could send you a pic. You're a mad washer lol. TY again!!
Hey Mike, I’ve cracked so many valves chasing air leaks that I now put stainless hose clamps around the outside of the female threads to prevent cracking. Hope this helps in the future. Really nice setup that’s going to replace my 12v. Thanks for sharing.
Nice, well done good sir! I saw that video this summer, grabbed one the next day as redundancy for my gas piston pump setup, only have used it to fill my IBC tote from a creek at a remote job, was a lifesaver even for that. Pretty cool. Looking forward to your 2 story job in tomorrow’s video.
I run a painting/washing business as a side hustle to my school teaching job. I don't do enough houses to justify much equipment. I usually batch mix a hundred or so gallons of 3% and run it through a cheap old yard sale harbor freight 2" trash pump choked down to a 3/4" garden hose.. I thoroughly rinse it with clean water after each use. it works great and has made me plenty of money. I usually use my pressure washer to rinse the house down. It's not as efficient as a bigger system, but for occasional use, it works great!!!
I literally spent quite a bit of time finding all the connectors to make that valve about 2 months ago just to connect my pressure washing gun to a hose. Got it all set up on quick connects for easy changeover.
man been to long since i watch things.. love the new setup. bet its alot better then pulling a trailer around. hope you been well and ready for the holidays.
Your right. I've looked at that a number of times. Thanks for doing this. I'll will try this. It looks Awsome!!. I'm looking forward to seeing it in action.
Awesome Mike! I have the exact same pump and I just got my 1" proportioner and I am trying to get it going. I will keep you posted. Leave it to you to make it look super simple!
Taking in account you rinse the chemicals out of the pump and or run neutralizer through it after every use, how long do you expect the pump to last. Thanks again Mike.
@@thechardestyiv Great question. That remains to be seen. The beautiful thing is, the prime cap is only finger tight. Simply remove it and pour neutralizer directly into the pump. Same for winterizing.
Hey Mike. Update on my build. I went to Home Depot today and got some parts to build a stand for the proportioner. It works but flow is soft. I will upgrade to flexiilla Garden hose tomorrow.
hey Mike, I use that same set up and I’m running it with the batch busters from Southeast soft wash and it works great. I can hit the peak of a two-story home even the top of the chimney of a two-story home which is about three stories on a non-windy day and on a windy day itdied, dies down a little bit, but not much
Super cool! Went to the website but was blank, nothing listed for this setup. Only thing I dont like about it is the muffler. You should make this Mike. It pretty clean and pro looking. I'd buy one.
@@ktpowerwashing There is no bypass. It is a centrifugal pump. Joseph has been off the trigger for 10 minutes or do. But even he says that is not best. I personally would not suggest more than 5 minutes. Much like an AR45
Looks like cool idea if the pump can last. I honestly still prefer 12V for the control and precise application on the roof, overspray is almost non issue with 12v.
How do you feel this system would perform on a 3/4 proportioning system? I finally broke down and invested in a nice proportioning system for my 12V the week before all of these videos began to surface in the softwashing groups!
Hey Mike are you gonna sell your stand and valve system for it. I've already been using the pump and your setup added to it would look and work good on my truck. Plus I use this pump as a portable system when I do townhomes to get to the back of the homes that are in long rows of housing.
Wow, I’ve been looking for something exactly like this. I can’t really afford the $2500 pump but the reality is that I don’t need that much power yet. Soon maybe. But this one I believe can reach two-story homes maybe even three-story homes without me having to stand on a chair (lol) to just reach the topcorner side parts of the under roof. So how would you flush this machine? I know the 12 volts we have to flush them out for about 15 to 20 minutes. I am super interested in buying this tomorrow if I can. I just want to get some more information if you don’t mind.
@@SoftwashingKingHouseWashing I’m still working on all the numbers. But basically, it will be turn key. Everything but the motor/pump itself. Of course, you’ll have to have your own buffer tank and Chen tank
My suggestion..if you're worried about a hose reel limiting output/flow. You can have two L brackets mounted to the corner of your truck and just loosely hand coil it.
We can hear the excitement in your voice! I'd be interested how high it will shoot against a commercial building. The booster pump is a pain. Thanks Mike!
@@clearwaterprowash You can also hear the machine. It’s a bit noisy. LOL It would be fine for soaping down a 2 story that needs the extra sauce. I like it.
I am new to soft washing. I am adding softwashing to my painting business as a service this spring. Been researching setups for about a year. I was just about to buy a gen 2 system when i came across this. With only a SH valve and water valve, is pulling soap not necessary like what all my research has been seeing all year? Lol
@@blakeengland7784 It does not continue pumping when off the trigger. No bypass or loop. No more than 5 minutes is suggested, but Joseph has been as long as 10 minutes.
Great video and thank you for taking the time to show us all. Wonder how that predator holds up with SH feeding through? Obviously need to rinse after use but it is still tough on equipment. Also, can you recommend the best pressure wash hose to use with the Honda C690? I know you've said in past video you keep 4 50ft sections on your reel?
The beautiful thing is, you can take the little cap off the pump (hand tight) and pour in neutralizer.

Question, how is it when you left off the trigger for a minute or two? Does it build pressure? I looked at that pump for weeks thinking could I’d be a soft wash pump but was always nervous since it’s a straight flow it would just blow holes in the hose due to pressure build up if you weren’t constantly pulling the trigger.
@@brandonphillips1875 No, it’s a centrifugal pump. No flow when off the trigger. Joseph has been off the trigger 10 minutes. No issues. That’s not encouraged however
Hi Mike we're in Chicago. We mostly do houses and commercial buildings the water pressure and flow is good out here my question to you is what's the minimum size water tank I would need to operate that efficiently thank you
Hi Mike, Sweet. 2 questions Sir: Since no unloader used how long can that centrifugal pump run off the trigger for until getting too hot? SH flows into that pump -right?, will the seals and impeller last longer than a typical 12 Volt pump sucking in SH, if yes why do you think so Sir? At $200-$300 dollars for new motor & pump close in price to replacing a 12V. Rich
@@richdewitt760 Great questions. Joseph said he has been off the trigger for 10 minutes. Flush the pump just as you would a 12 volt. You can also add neutralizer directly into the pump.
Excellent overview of the system Mike. I actually stumbled upon his video a few months ago while searching for a "Poor Man's" gas roof pump setup. My current 12V setup uses a 1/2" line before and after the proportioner, would this choke the system down too much? My thought was, if I can use my current plumbing it would save a little space and if the gas system goes down it would be a simple plug and play to go back to the 12V. Thoughts?
@@aroundthebendpressurewashing That remains to be Sean. It couldn’t hurt to try. It’s only 60 psi (or so), so… it shouldn’t hurt your plumbing. Try it. I’m interested.

This is some great news here lol, I have absolutely thought about this before too, just figured it wouldn’t work since I couldn’t find anyone else doing it. How do you think the Honda WX10 Lightweight General Purpose Pump, 1 would compare
I tried to make this work but it was building pressure, I think from frothing the bleach in the pump, and would overheat and blew the plugs right off the pump. I tried using brass plugs and it just overheated the pump and killed it, and this is WHILE staying on the trigger.
Hey Mike , just started getting into your videos I’m looking into becoming a pressur washer for soem extras income would love to know what pressure washer you would recommend I was thinking the Westinghouse WPX3400. But would love ur insight
Stays roughly the same. Centrifugal pump design, low pressure pump. Worst case is pump cavitation. Wouldn’t stay off trigger forever but it’s fine to do so for a little while

I’ve actually seen this before. And was wondering how effective it was .
@@WashproBrad Kinda cool setup!
Awesome Awesome Awesome video! Your innovative ... well in everything 🤷🏻♂️ this new softwash system will help soo many people! Hopefully me soon 👍🏻
As a side note, your humor is refreshing 😂 I'm greatful that I'm not alone in how God allows humor to pour out, many times by mere 'accident ' 😂 ' the sour 9 ' 🤷🏻♂️😂🤣😂
bless you brother .. Number 6:24-26
This is so cool. Thank you brother!!!
This is awesome, thank u. R u going to sell that mounting kit?also how can i add surfactant line if i want to. Or what do u do about the smell if u dont use surfactant?
@@jd-it4on Hopefully soon. Yes, there is a hole for a surfactant line
@TheFreshRinse awesome, how do I stay in touch,sorry I asked the same question on your newest video
I found the kit but where did the cover and stand come from?
As I said, I made everything.
@ gotcha, great looking design!!!
i wonder the life span of pump with sh or is the pump stainless?
@@charlesfowler1959 Time will tell. Joseph has been using it regularly (especially for roof washing) for a few months. No issues.
I love this. 12 volt can be such a pain.
Yes sir. Much better than the 12 volt
How is it when you’re off the trigger? Does the pump heat up and get damaged.
Same question with the ar45 and the 12volt remco pumps
@@ryanbrewer9262 Joseph (the guy I mentioned) says he’s been off the trigger for at least 10 minutes.
Could you use the 2in pump they have instead of the 1in ?
@@austintevis7304 I’ve only heard negative things. But I have no real experience.
Two pull baby. Nice design, it’ll improve as the time goes by. Does this mean you won’t be mounting the AR45?
@@tomalley798 Thank you sir. No, I will be installing the AR45 for larger jobs.
Would it work on a 1/2 hose?
@@ONE23CLEAN Yes, but with less flow. 3/8. Has shown the greatest flow
This is some great news here lol, I have absolutely thought about this before too, just figured it wouldn’t work since I couldn’t find anyone else doing it. How do you think the Honda WX10 Lightweight General Purpose Pump, 1 would compare
@@ryanbrewer9262 I’m not sure the pump would fit. My be too much pressure for that small pump. Worth a try
Does the chemical actually go through the pump?
@@soxpatsceltsifyfitzgerald3772 It does. Just like the 12 volt. The beauty is, you can pour neutralizer straight into the pump.
Nice. I like it. Where can I buy one? Thanks
@@northjerseykevin409 Harbor Freight for the machine.
This is a wonderful setup for a guy like myself. Will I be getting it with CHEAP SHOT on it..? I love it Mike.
@@shaydzforlyphe9693 BOOM!
So, can. you let off the gun without screwing up the pump
Yes
Yes sir.
Yes no doubt. And for the low $200 is price it’s not that much more than a 7gpm 12v pump
@@smitty4699 Exactly!
Would love to see a video of you using on a customers home. Would you consider marketing both the skid and mounting bracket?
The 2 story house wash video comes out tomorrow. I have a few things in mind.
The big question is, how long is the pump going to last running SH through it?
No issues after 7 months. Cheap enough to replace if you don’t want to flush it out I suppose
The beautiful thing is, you can remove the cap on top of the pump and fill the pump with neutralizer. And antifreeze when winterizing
@@TheFreshRinse Are you selling these?
Mike.. would you sell that skid setup so we can have the same set up
@@thatbaldguy5569 Lots of things are crossing my desk concerning this.
I tried to make this work but it was building pressure, I think from frothing the bleach in the pump, and would overheat and blew the plugs right off the pump. I tried using brass plugs and it just overheated the pump and killed it, and this is WHILE staying on the trigger.
@@jamestribbitt9684 Interesting. Joseph has been using it for several months with no problem.
Boom!
BOOM!
How long can you be off the trigger?
Longest I’ve done is 10 minutes. Wouldn’t recommend doing that too often tho.
I’m still thinking about you not using a surfactant most of the time😂. I thought that was critical to help SH stick a little bit and not run off.
@@sullyssoftwash Not once all year. Maybe 2 years.
Hey Mike , just started getting into your videos
I’m looking into becoming a pressur washer for soem extras income would love to know what pressure washer you would recommend I was thinking the Westinghouse WPX3400. But would love ur insight
What is your budget?
@ DOTN really have a budget honestly , but if you can give me the best suggestions, and also soem affordable ones that would be great !
What's the cost for the cheap shot system?
@@TimCook1960 Not sure yet. Everything is in talks at the moment
Great job “Money Shot” Mike! 😂
@@DavidSunshineAquaWash LOLOLOL Thank you sir
Very nice bro!🤘🏾
@@cardinalprosoftwash Thank you sir
That things pretty sweet xD
@@backspace12399 Thank you sir!
What happens with the pressure when you let off the trigger?
Stays roughly the same. Centrifugal pump design, low pressure pump. Worst case is pump cavitation. Wouldn’t stay off trigger forever but it’s fine to do so for a little while
@@changingseasonslandscape6142 It’s a centrifugal pump. So, it does not build pressure until the trigger is pulled
