Hey Rusty ,
Great video brother thank you for the info I really appreciate it. I seen a set up at a power wash store selling for $700. This is a much better set up and a lot cheaper.
Thank you!
Absolutely brother! That’s what I’m here for. Thank you !
By the way My name is Art. I contacted you a few weeks ago about if you needed anything from manatee pressure wash store.
I love the idea but one glaring issue. You’re running a 12volt pump on a 20volt battery. That pump is running much faster than it should and is reducing the life greatly. Amazon also sells a dewalt battery holder with a 20 to 12 volt step down.
Yes ! Do you mind commenting the link for the step down? I’ve been wanting to figure out the correct way.
How long can you spray on battery before needing recharge ?
@@rusty.nesvig wonder where I'm going to find the extra space for the stepdown on the bucket lid.
Hater
Been running this pump on 18 volts for 4 years now. Has no issues.
Just built this today - works great!
Awesome!! 👊🏼
Man just came to say Thank You. Used all the parts you did and was able to put it together in 20 minutes. I use it for Pesticides and Lawn Fertilizers and it works great for it. No more lugging 5 gallons on my back!
Awesome man! You’re welcome 👊. Love to hear that.
How many ft was your spraying hose ?
Clever solution. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎
Awesome! Thanks y’all 👊
Excellent idea my friend. Thanks!
You got it my brother 🙏
I built a bucket and sprays water great. If I put sealer or stripper in it, it dribbles out and not a nice flow, and yes everything is plumbed properly just not sure why it doesn’t draw the sealer good
What size hose is your draw hose? Make sure nothing is clogged and make sure it’s 3/8
Works like a champ. Thank you Rusty.
Nice!! Yezzir 👊🏻
Pretty good self-contained power-washer.
This is great! I'm going to use this as a weed sprayer for my backyard (I have a big backyard).
Perfect use !
will this work for driveway sealer, the latex type and the emulsion type?
I watched your video and within a week i made one and love it,thank you sir,here in dublin, Ireland 🇮🇪
Awesome !!
Hey matt im from the UK do you have a parts list for us english ?
much cheaper then paying $450 for someone to make one. this is super easy thanks
👊
Question: Hi Rusty! Love the idea. You are using a 12 volt pump with 20 volt max battery. Wouldn't that ruin the pump?
Yes it will. You need a step down voltage convertor.
This is awesome! No more pump sprayer!!
Exactly!
I’ve looked up the diagram pumps and they seem to be rated for between 12v to 24v. The thing I can’t find is will they stop pumping once the line is pressurized? It sounded like yours was cycling on and off in the video.
It will stop pumping as long at nothing can flow.
I'm wondering if this setup would work for a more viscous material, like an oil/fluid film undercoating?
Looks like a mini roof washing machine 🤔 pretty bad ass bro 💪
Haha thank you brotha 👊🏻
Awesome video and thank you for sharing. Will definitely help me!!!
Yessir !
TY for this vid I just ordered the parts it was a big help.
Great sprayer for window tinting 👍🏽
No voltage reducer? 🧐🤔
What kind of a reach can you get w that thing is you dont use a fan tip? Obviously a slightly bigger pump would get more reach too, thinking vs Xjet kind of thing.......
Much better performance with X jet no doubt. Only pro to this would be stronger mix than X jet.
Thanks for the information,
Much appreciated
Absolutely!
so no need to step down the 20v or 18v battery to 12v? I know car battery is usually 14v, but can these pumps take 18-20v and not burn out?
Hi Rusty, is your DeWalt battery 12v or 18v. My battery is 18v , do I need anything to convert to 12v. Thanks
Mine is 20v. Some people do a step down conversion and some people don’t. I’ve never seen a difference
50' of hose is a lot. I have all makita 18V. I'm going to build one using your set up here. Very much appreciated
It is long but I’d rather deal with more hose rather than moving the bucket around a bunch. Of course 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Is that a screw on bucket or snap on?
Why not just use a uniseal instead of bulkhead then just do it with pvc fittings and the hose. No need for the metal elbows and large bulkhead
Yes 100%. Since the video I’ve started doing that 👊🏼
Great video, Rusty!
Thank you !
Do you if id be able run acid through it? Caustic soda to be exact.
It definitely can but rinse it out immediately after. With water and a splash of pine sol
This is amazing thank you!
👊
Thanks for the awesome video Rusty. Your videos help more than you can imagine. Helps us all get that much better by learning what you know. So on behalf of your subs, thank you for what you do my man. Definitely trying to imitate your approach to your business and bring it to mine. I love and admire your attention to quality when serving your customers.
I just set up this rig, I plumbed everything up except for the gun. The pump runs flawlessly when there is no restriction of the gun in line. As soon as I put the gun onto the hose, the pump starts freaking out. I tried to adjust the psi bolt and eventually all the back pressure just popped my gun off the line. What can I do to fix this?
Thank you man! It sounds like the tip on your gun is restricting the flow too much. Look into a gun with interchangeable tips.
@@rusty.nesvig yeah i am thinking thats what it is. I ordered another wand that was made for a 1gpm and gonna put a 6510 tip on it and i think it should alleviate that issue
That 12v needs adjusted. Cool idea.
Thank you! Yes good catch. I switched it to a little bigger of a spray tip and it stopped the pulsing 🤙🏽
Hi Rusty, do you consider making a video about your thought and any update (or new idea that you would suggest) about the sprayer?
This is great! Thank you!! Have you ever run solvent based sealer with no slip grit through it? I’m wondering if the wand will plug up
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching! I haven’t ran solvent based but I know it will definitely pull it. I used to run non skid through them but like you said , eventually it will clog. I just broadcast the non slip by hand now.
how many gallons can you typically spray with one battery?
Dude thank you for this 🤘
Yezzir 👊🏻👊🏻
Nice job, looks good.
Thank you!
What's the best sealer to get?
@@bluelspressurellc Ure Seal H20
What is the range of this sprayer and how is it superior to just using the bottles that just attach to a hose?
I’m not sure what you mean by the range of the sprayer ? And there is no sealer that connect to a hose. If you’re asking why is it superior to spraying bleach rather than 30 second outdoor cleaner from your garden hose it’s because 1. You can use SH diluted with water, saving you much more money & 2 you can have 5 gallons of ready to spray product rather than a quarter gallon.
how about the battery low voltage cut of system?
Thank you very much bro. I’m a pest control It really help question do you have any brand to recommend for a pump that is very heavy duty? Thanks again God bless
Also should we be accounting for extra 3/8 hose since we need some besides the air compressor one to connect the pump to bulkhead and bulkhead to sealant?
Awesome 😎
👊🏼👊🏼
Do you think this would work good for spraying paint on a fence? Or paint would be too thick?
I love that idea and I'm pretty sure I'm going to be using it now I'm kind of curious am I going to be able to shoot at least two stories on some of these houses have you ever tried that
Hey Rusty, I’m having an issue with the spray seems like there’s a lot of air pockets and I’m not getting a consistent flow of liquid through the pump to the hose then to the wand. What could be the issue? I let it run for a good 10 minutes and still inconsistent flow.
You have to check every point of connection and find where air is being sucked in. Make sure everything is tight.
Hey rusty, instead of the sprayer do you think I could use a smaller custom pressure washing wand with a fan tip & quick connects, similar to a 12v soft-wash setup?
Hey rusty where can I find those 3/8 fittings brother ?
Amazon has all fittings 👊🏼
@@rusty.nesvig Thank you sir, keep up the great work 👊🏾
Thanks for the video.... can it be used to spray 5-6% chlorine? We do not have a soft wash system in our rig, but will be doing lots of tennis courts with heavy mould. Thanks again.
How thick of a sealer can you run through this sprayer, assuming not a 30 percent solids concrete sealer
Ure seal is 45% solids but it’s diluted with water before use. Is the sealer you’re talking about water based ?
Hey Rusty, thanks for the video just wondering where did you get those quick K’NEX and what size are they? Thanks.
Genius!
do i need a chemical pump or the one your showing should hold good?
Hey Rusty,Thanks for all your videos and information. Just wondering do you ever come across a job where they just want the pavers cleaned and sanded .If so how would you charge for that. And what kind of guarantee would you offer. Thanks again
You’re welcome! Thank you for watching. Yes I have come across that a few times. I don’t recommend sanding without sealing because just one day of bad weather will wash it out so I don’t guarantee anything. You can’t “guarantee” a length on cleaning because that can change depending on seasons. I tell them it will typically stay clean for 8-12 months.
What is the quick connect set up you have off of the pump? I just ordered all the parts and I’m trying to set up this build.
Thanks in advance,
Kyle
hey what sealer are you using? I am having bad luck with spraying diamond clear due to the thickness.
Ure Seal H20. Best water based product in the game 👌🏽
Great info !
I seem to have the wrong bulkhead. Mine is only internally threaded in one end. Do you have a link for the right one???
That’s correct. You’ll put that end on the bottom and create your suction hose with it.
Hey rusty i have a new driveway a customer want's me to seal or stain. she wants me to use a darker color because of tanning stain from trees. what product do you think i should use? Thanks.
Did you remove the tannin stains ? Also, is it brick pavers ?
@Rusty's Pressure Washing yes I removed the tanning stain using SH. It is concrete.
I built mine tonight still waiting on the barbs 90 and straight one. Got the step down, zip tied it the top of the pump. Will this spray oil based stains too for decks and fences????
Nice !! Yes I’ve seen guys use 12v pumps for fence staining.
i think the pumps says right on it dont use with flammable liquids
Could you provide a link for the bulkhead that fits in the hole that comes on the lid. I have not been able to find that
Great work Rusty! In your parts list the bulkhead valve parts are listed but I can't find them online. Can you share that information or a link to where you got those parts?
Very helpful video may build two of these
Rusty will this pump work for spraying
Spraying what?
@@rusty.nesvig spraying sealer for the lid sprayer
r
Cool af 👍👍👍💪👍👍
What kind of sealer you use. Thanks great video
I have Ryobi 18volt batteries, can you steer me to the right connector?
Would this work for spraying chemical before a driveway wash? Just can’t afford the full soft wash setup. Unless there’s a list of exactly what I need to build one that i can carry around in my lil car, would this be a good thing to use?
Absolutely! Perfect for that in a pinch or on a budget.
@@rusty.nesvig thank u!
Looking forward to using this as a water source for an extractor for auto detailing! Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't you vent out air?
Glad this helped you! There is a big hole in the middle of the buckets for the wand to go through. Also, I never clamp down the lid completely when I’m using in. I snap on only one little section this way I’m not fighting it trying to get it off.
Those lids are so hard to remove 😅@@rusty.nesvig
does pump stop automatically?
Yes
Where did you find the lid? Most places don't have a 1/2 hole I can find
Amazon
would you recommend a few batteries for a rotation or do they last a while? Also what size is the quick connect and straight male adapter that you had it wasn't listed on the parts list? Thanks
looks like 1/4 in
Yes 1/4 and I have three batteries I cycle.
@@rusty.nesvig So it's a 1/4" quick connect to 1/2" thread reduced to 3/8" male to a barb? or is the hose just clamped down on the threads?
Great video bro. How long does the battery last, as in hours?
Would this work for staining fences?
How do you clean the pumps after sealing to not make them clog. Been having that problem with my pumps
I just rinse lots of water through and they usually last me a good while. You can also run a bit of pine sol / water through it.
@@rusty.nesvig thanks bro. I’ve had 2 clog in me after only a few job I thought I rinsed enough water through them (15 gallons) do uou leave it dry when your done or leave water in the pump and tube? Also, do you clean your bucket and reuse them? If so what with?
Yeah, how do you clean up the checks you use when done? You should do a short video on that
What did you use for thr barbed quick connects ?
3/8 barb to 1/4 thread to get it on a QC
4:25 do you cut anything off of the inner part?
@rustys how long ones a charged battery last? Few hours?
Yes I get about 4 hours of spray time before it’s dead.
Do you think the air hose could handle sh? Or should i just use some 5/8 flexzilla?
Definitely can.
Hi Rusty,
I’ve ordered everything but I’m having a hard time with the bulkhead. Could you link the bulkhead you used? Thanks for the video! I’m hoping to use it this weekend.
You can use something like this
amzn.to/3MAQiTm
@@rusty.nesvig Awesome! Thanks a lot.
Great video can I use a 3.5-GPM pump because I already have one.
Yes you definitely can but I wouldn’t recommend a pump that big to spray sealant. Too much volume. To spray SH or anything else , that would be fine.
Got ya thank you great information.
I would recommend some kind of filter/strainer on inlet, for guys using chemicals.
In case it's not fully mixed, it might suck on some soap or powder that's not fully mixed.
It's around $20+(maybe less), for ones near the inlet.
There's also ones for hose end, it'll act as a weight, and strainer.
*Might need to use more flexible hose.
Who knows, it might save you some money by making the pump last longer.
Can this be used for staining a fence???
Yes!
Will an 18v battery burn out the pump
Yeah but simple fix that I failed to do is just get a step down converter
How did you get the bulk head through with cutting plastic on lid?
Use a lid that has those caps to poor out product. Just remove the cap and put bulk head through.
Where did you get the 90 degree attachment
Amazon
Badass man
Thanks man! 👊🏼
@@rusty.nesvig After using it for a while has the 20v battery been burning up pumps fast?
Great video
nice set up . are you using this to spray SH ? if not what are you spraying ?
I use it mainly to spray sealer or odd chemicals that I don’t want to use in a pump sprayer. You can absolutely spray SH through it. I have a dedicated soft wash system so I use that for SH but you definitely can.
@@rusty.nesvigthanks for the quick reply . great I am looking at setting up a soft wash system . what pump for soft wash would you recommend ?
Hey Rusty! What size spray nozzle are you using these days? Do you have a link by any chance?
4006
@@rusty.nesvig with the same pump? Do you happen to have a link?
What size are the quick connects?
How is it for roof washing?
Just made mine! Where did you get the quick connect
Nice! Local pressure wash store
Or Amazon has them.
I was wondering if that system would work as painting too?
would be good for staining decks and even bleaching concrete with a strong mix not sure how long the pump would last but one job would cover the cost of a new pump
Output hose length doesn't reduce the pressure?
Duh
Ur pump should be running consistently when spraying. It sounded like it was going on and off when u were on the trigger.
Can you use a 4gpm pump?
You can but for sealing that’s way too much
I finally got all my parts but mine keeps running all the time
Gotta un lock battery when not it use.
Yup, or add a on / off switch which I will likely do.
Rusty, Im up in central FL. Just curious who you use for Insurance
I use a company called Auto Owners Insurance. Super awesome company to deal with.
@@rusty.nesvig Thanks man!
How did u connect the QC to hose?
Clamped right over the threads of the QC lol.
And no leaks??
Are you on fb
Could I do this for SH also?
Absolutely
