I use a 1/2 ALL FLOW 200 foot 5/8 hose similar tip The blue one @4 gpm ball valve wand. I’m just not sold on those 12 v pumps, if anything I would consider a 1 hp booster Gould’s pump. I already have a 5500 watt portable gen. Back to the 4gpm , I feel like I get enough mix vs control on the roof @ 4gpm. Jrod included. Unless I get big commercial roof work the 1hp Gould’s may just be overkill anyway. Thanks Lawrence for the videos keep crushin it.
Power Washing Pros Inc. Lawrence Ashlin I use a rigid (home depot) brand 5.5 hp wheel barrel. Rob Anderson doesn’t seem to like the air compressor dependency. I used to be in the construction field and we would run those Compressors all day everyday. We maintained them well and could get 2 years or more from one easy. I may sometime plum up a 12 volt as backup to my air I just don’t get enough roof jobs. I have one Wednesday I may make a video and go over what I use. I just started in May and learning tons Thanks.
I use 5/8 and I love it. Use a ball valve gun and 5.5gpm tips on my jrod and I get tons of flow. I'm even shooting right about 40 ft on a straight stream with a 5.5 gmp pump
Can you explain exactly what you mean by that? I mean I understand 5/8 hose and you can shoot around 40feet straight up but does that cover a 3 floor building? Also, is the ball valve stretched to the jrod and the hose? A picture would be great, I know I'm asking a lot
@@pedromac I wouldn't try a 3 story building with it. A tall 2 story with peaks is about all it'll do. The ball valve attaches to the end of the 5/8 garden hose. Then the jrod attaches to the other end on a quick connect to a fitting screwed into the ball valve. I hope that makes sense since we can't post pictures here
Power Washing Pros Inc. Lawrence Ashlin Hi Lawrence please give me a call 720-308-8657 I have some questions about a house washing here in Colorado ✨👍🏻
Thanks for that info. You might want to think about separating your battery from the same box as your pump!! 🤔 Electrics and water don’t mix too well if you get a water leak and it sprays out . Just good engineering practice 😉👍
Thanks so much i have a a 4.9 gpm hand carry unit and getting only 2.5gpm. I am wondering if i should use 5 8 hose but using 5 gallon buckets. I dont think my buckets would last too long
Lawrence, is it possible to rinse the Algae from a shingle roof after an application of the chemical and soap if the customer doesnt want the solution or the Algae left on the roof? I am just getting started and would like to know if this is a true possibility? Thank you in advance.
Have a question for you. I just rewired my new 7gal fat boy. Has a surge happening. Did your do that when you first got yours? Do you know of a cure for this issue?
Lawrence thank you for all your time. I get to run one of our cameras at church it would give you a bigger picture if when you use a cell phone as a camera to turn it long ways to shoot pictures and video just some thing that you may look at and see if you like it better. Will give you a wider shot of what you are shooting.

u the man love these kind of field tests. u prefer 7 gpm or 5.5.? I hear more problems come with 7gpm 12v. vs 5m5 gpm 12 v. what are your thoughts Lawrence
Oleyn's Pressure Washing I use both 5.5 and the 7gpm. I have done most roof cleans with the 5.5 versus the 7gpm, seems like the 5.5 hold up a little longer and easier to get but the 7gpm is a little faster with cleaning and maybe shoots about 1-1/2 to 2 feet further, I like both pumps.
He said eff that van 😂
Are you supposed to have a filter between the twelve oh pump and the supply
Does the pump ever shut off? I just installed one and it runs constantly
Finally, thanks!

316 Pressure Washing pro Dave Kuntzi what size air compressor do you use for your 1/2 ALL FLOW, I have considered getting the 3/4 ALL FLOW myself

I got a 5/8 hose, 5.5 gpm pump, 150ft hose, works great.
I may up size to 5/8 in the future
@@powerwashingprosinc.lawren922 what's the difference between 1/2 hose and 5/8?
@@BusinessAcc4me More flow
Is that a 60psi fatboy or a 120psi ?

Thanks Lawrence! God Bless Bro. And when on top of a roof, probably down to 2 gpm due to more resistance .
Rob Francis yes I agree
I got some Fatboy pumps for 140 bucks
Thanks so much i have a a 4.9 gpm hand carry unit and getting only 2.5gpm. I am wondering if i should use 5 8 hose but using 5 gallon buckets. I dont think my buckets would last too long
what exact pump u using
Oleyn's Pressure Washing Devalan 7870
@@powerwashingprosinc.lawren922 thx bro
Oleyn's Pressure Washing you’re welcome
I have a booster and I use it on every house wash. It’s a 3/4 and it shots just as far as my 8gpm. We use apple wash and I like it but it’s pricey.
The lawn care landscaping Pressure Washing channel I do like the boosters, I have tried one out before
Have you tried a surface. Leaner with that 7gpm pump? Whicha one?
Hey Lawrence, big fan and learn a lot from your videos, any advice on marketing would be appreciated. Thank you sir and God Bless
TNT Softwash 21 one thing I do is always bring door hangers with me and hang them on doors wherever I’m working
Lawrence, is it possible to rinse the Algae from a shingle roof after an application of the chemical and soap if the customer doesnt want the solution or the Algae left on the roof? I am just getting started and would like to know if this is a true possibility? Thank you in advance.
Rob Francis if it’s moss you’re talking about yes if it’s white and dead then you can rinse as much as you can.
Have a question for you. I just rewired my new 7gal fat boy. Has a surge happening. Did your do that when you first got yours? Do you know of a cure for this issue?
Nathan Habhab haven’t had that issue
There's a little adjustment screw on the end of the pump, a hex head you need to adjust it to level it out.
Does the pump only come on when pulling the trigger? The only downfall on the booster is you can’t leave it running if your not using it.
The lawn care landscaping Pressure Washing channel correct. Demand pump activated when it detects pressure drop
Can you please tell me What's the name of the chemical use of roof cleaning
daniel vasquez Sodium hypochlorite
Power Washing Pros Inc. Lawrence Ashlin thank you
Nice video, what type of hose do you use.

Do you do roof washes from the ladder or do you walk the roof each time ?
Bro What size hose is good for 7 GPM 5/8 or 3/4 or 1/2 inch
Do they make hose reels for the 1/2in poly hose?
