Pressure Washing with a 4gpm can be done, and you can make good money, but I'd skip the 5.5gpm and go straight to the 8gpm washer, if you ask me.

I started almost the same.
I started in the trunk of my 2010 Camaro.
Now I'm have an 8gpm
Let’s go 💪🏼
You should do a giveaway on that pressure washer sitting in your garage.
Love your videos Aaron, you answer all the weird little questions as soon as they pop up!!!!
U r funny my dude... definitely helpful in various ways. I really like your mentality on charging what you are worth.
Thanks for the videos brah
I'm at year 3, finally stepped up to 8gpm. Holy friggin cow. Night and day difference from my 4gpm. You can't go back. Can't wait to add a 10 gallon and some electric ss reels next.
The Dewalt DXPW60606 is a 5 gpm unit at 3000 psi. It’s a great starter machine if you have the money. The machine is advertised at 4 gpm. I can comfortably run a 20” surface cleaner.
I remember that video. I remember you saying something about not needing to upgrade. I may be mistaken.
I own a Honda gx690 8gpm and thinking about upgrading to a Honda gx800
You ask “Why does a 5.5 machine even exist?” One possible answer is this: the 5.5 pump will operate on the same gear ratio as the 4 gpm. So, for $450 you can upgrade from a 4 gpm to a 5.5. It’s a decent upgrade for the guy on a budget.
Hey, great video. I just hit the subscribe button.
Ahh! I did not know that. Thanks Mike!
And yet I totally agree, jumping from 4 to 8 is a much better upgrade when the funds allow.
See now that was my thought process i have a 3500psi at 3.5gpm on a 13 horse briggs. Now i can buy an AR 4000psi 5.5gpm pump for $360 ( it will only produce 2500psi at 5.5 on a 13 horse) but that's still a big upgrade from the 3500 @ 3.5 and i feel thats a good and cheap jump but im not a pro so i cant say that with certainty but i think that's what i will do i was going to upgrade to a 4000psi @ 4gpm pump but for the same price i can have the 5.5 so i figure hell why not?
Brandon Shreve I have a 4000 psi 4gpm Briggs n Stratton. You’re saying I can just attach a 5gpm pump to it and just loose some psi? How much would I lose?
That's awesome info. Thank-you
For someone like me just starting out, u have given me a lot of knowledge on how to go at this thanks bro
Yea dawg
Thanks for the insight I am in the market for a 8gpm Honda South Florida area
Just got my first pressure washer, 30 lts/m 200 bar, 3000 psi.. honda igx 700... Will get a hot water boiler at some point later. Need to get used to pressure washing first.
Aron you are amazing buddy, a real hard working smart guy No bull shit.
I've been running the same exact Simpson pressure washer for 5 years now. Leave it on the trailer and run 200ft of hose no problem. Never have to take it off the trailer. The pump just went out last week. Ordered a new General pump for it instead of the CAT. Looking to also purchase a 5.5 gpm and use the 4gpm as a backup. Definitely do not need a 8 gpm with what I'm doing. Definite overkill. I'm not doing big commercial buildings or 10,000 square ft homes. Only get it if you need it.
Exactly
Thank you
Just bought a 4gpm machine ready to start pumping. It's a Simpson but it's all I can afford at this time.
Itll do ya good for now.
Any thoughts on PTO driven pressure pumps? I’d love to just pull the tractor off the trailer like Mad Max ready to go.
Do you use the customer water?
In your opinion is hot water more headaches? I've talked with the folks who build trailers here in GA and well I get mixed reviews. Hot water isn't necessary, unless required. Yes it definitely helps but I head the problems out way the benefits? I have 2 5.5 machines I ran a parking deck with.... 3 stories took 1.5 days with the two of the large steel eagle's and 2 4 gpm used to rinse behind the surface eagle.
I haven't had any real problems with my hot unit, but I also have only used it about 10 times. In some situations they ask for it, but they really don't know why they're asking for it. Watch the cold storage video I put out. Without a doubt we wouldn't have been able to do that job without hot water. 32 degrees, and frozen dough on the ground. Cold wouldn't touch it. So idk, if nothing else it warms my hands in winter. lol
Aaron, have you considered connecting both hot and cold machines for a combined 16 gpm.? Obviously for commercial applications.
mind blown*
I been doing 11,000 sqft of warehouses and 37,000 sqft of parking lot and let me tell you, my 4gpm is slow as hell. I hired one guy to help me for the parking lot and he has a 8gpm and he was moving so much quicker then me. Definitely going to upgrade to 8gpm
Worth it.
Hey Aaron, nice set up. Do u use ever use cold water? Or just the hot water?
Rob Francis I never use hot water.
Awsome
Would a hot water 4 GPM be sufficient for auto fleet cleaning? Trucks, vans, cars. Tnx
More than enough.
Kinda a weird question, but do you need a 8GPM electric water pump to pull water from your tank to feed your 8GPM pressure washer. Or is it gravity fed?
No
At what GPM would you need a buffer tank? current have 4,000psi 4 gpm in bed of my truck
5
So where do you get your water to fill up your tank,and is it expensive? An how often do you fill your tank? Because at 8 gpm with your tank capacity an bleach doesn't that only give you a
71 minute run time before your filling up again? Sorry that I have so many questions about it. It's just I'm about to make the big leap myself,and quit my regular job to commit full-time,to my business,because I know it makes money; I made made almost $70,000 in 100 days last year by working almost every one of my days off. An now that my truck is paid off I'm about to invest almost $10,000 into the easy Kleen EZ03708G-G. It's 8gpm 3700psi Diesel with 800,000 btu burner. So my last question is did you buy your set-up,or build it? An any advice about what to do with the queasiness I've been feeling in my gut since I've made my mind up about this "Big leap." LoL Thanks for any help,and for your videos. Keep on keeping on...
Yea just know the queasiness leaves when you jump. You’re prolonging it and opting for the long slow spanking, just get the quick one over with! 70k part time is easily doable, what about full time?! Dude it’s yours to have, claim it.
@@AaronsLeanMeanAcademy Thank you bro for the encouragement. I'm definitely going to,but I got a admit when this Covid-19 started I backed out. But only for a while; now that a lot of businesses have started opening back up here in Knoxville I think I'm ready to roll. I've got two appointments on Mon,and Tues. to meet with website designers. Yep I'm taking your info an applying it, because it just made sense. I was about to throw away $1,500 on having flyers made. An then having a auto mailer to send them out. But now thanks to you I'm taking that money an putting into my website,and also thanks to you I already know what to talk to the web designers about...SEO baby; SEO's! Best of luck to you A. Thank you!
I wish he would put it in scalable values of how much faster it is. The comparisons are so vague its hard to crunch the numbers. He seems to be vague with a lot if his "informative" videos.
Thinking too much is a disease. If you're having to "crunch numbers," you don't have enough business to make the jump yet.
Do you clean brick on new construction. I.e. acid wash?
I don’t get many of those calls
I don’t get many of those calls
Hey Aaron, where do you fill the water tank and how much does it cost to fill on average
I have no idea, less than I charge to fill it.
I'm starting out and bought an off the shelf machine.. 11.3L/min @ 3600psi and I'm building my own diesel powered machine 15L/min @ 4000psi o start with.
I'm not looking at doing 4 jobs per day. Maybe two. And I only work the days a week or less so it will be perfect to start with. I'm currently a candidate here in the upcoming election in Australia so pretty busy
Heck yea. If you’re not a commie I hope you win. Australia needs a big change
@@AaronsLeanMeanAcademy yeah mate. People think I'm a politician but I'm not. Bloody hell.
I mow lawns and clean properties. Crazy.
Keep putting the videos. I'll restart my other channel 👍👍
When doing big jobs like the 7 story parking garage, do you have to worry about wastewater reclamation? I would imagine you do, so do you have any videos dealing with that issue?
Yea you really should. Price for reclaim goes up. As it should though.

@@AaronsLeanMeanAcademy First off Thank you for your videos they are helping me in many ways!! But I'm having trouble deciding how I want to start my business. Do I get a 5gpm setup in a trailer with buffer tank or get a nice 4 gpm and pull everything in and out of trailer what do you think is best? And the 4gpm has a CAT pump and the 5gpm has a Comet (I dont know if Comet is good) pump which would you recommend?
Robert Berger trailer
Question do you charhe2 more using hot. Water versus cold water and how much did your unit cost i have dwalt 3800psi 3.5 gpm if you was me how would you go about starting a pressure washing business
Big question. I don't think its really a question of charging "more." I charge "more" by default.
@@AaronsLeanMeanAcademy thxs
You'd never get any where near that price in my location..
1969jmac where is your location? Cause i agree, im here in florida and guys are ruining the market. Smh
1969 what r u running with? Do you look pro?
Only ever had 8gpm
What’s hot water and cold water like are we talking temperature or chemicals
Temperature
How to talk to the people about using their water ?
Rakim Brown you walk up to their house with a hose and tell them you're using their water.
@@AaronsLeanMeanAcademy ok thanks
Aaron's Lean & Mean Academy lol I’ve never even asked i just hook up and go
@@AaronsLeanMeanAcademy on pint! :D
How much money you think you did in 2017?
Bad Weatherfreak $10
@@AaronsLeanMeanAcademy 10 dollars? Seriously??
