    There are so many people in this industry and others that want to charge new guys or even guys without the basic knowledge for their information. I have been in the industry for over a year now. I have watched many of your videos. Some of them dozens of times and I thank God that guys like you are freely sharing your knowledge for us all. I enjoy simplified way of explaining things. I pray God continues to bless your sir. Thank you.

      Most of it is common sense the class is useless the guys running them are snake oil salesman. if you buy there cheap skids you have been suckered. 25k for a unit lmao

      When I first started researching on youtube I saw the snake oil guys. However they would leak enough info I could fill in the gaps myself. No need to buy a program in my opinion. But I do see where if you have no mechanical ability and lots of money the classes would be beneficial. However I think these same people are trying to sell their $30,000 rigs after the first season. Now that's when you can find a good deal.

    Well done and great idea on the switch! Also I swear by a product called Fluid film I spray on anything (Metal/Wires/terminals) to protect from SH. Also buy the Fluid film in bulk (Gallon can) and bought the sprayer on ebay that hooks to a compressor. I Coat the undercarriage of the truck too and brake lines and does a excellent job from the salt on the road up here in New England.

      I'm familiar with Fluid film. I bought some at a mower show to coat the underside of decks. It smells good and is made of Lanolin. I will give it a try.

      fluid film is amazing! I also love it and use it on brake line/fittings fuel lines and love how it clings and stays put, but will also creep and flow when hot somewhat.

    And for those that use a different brand of pump that does not have a relay preinstalled, you can install your own, from any auto parts store.

    I had the same pump, and i used a car battery disconnect switch as the switch because every other small switch up the 30 amp I used all burned out. Thanks for the video. I know can use a smaller switch now.

      I'm pretty sure I have such videos on my channel. However, you can buy one already built for about what you're going to spend on quality parts. Contact John and tell him I sent you for a discount. He can also sell you a kit that you can put together yourself .

    Why did u mount the pump upside down?

    • @housewashing5693
      @housewashing5693  3 роки тому +2

      1. Because I wanted to pump from left to right. 2. If the pump leaks inside or outside it wont run into the motor. 3. The pump can be mounted in any configuration you want.

  • @mikecoughlin4128
    @mikecoughlin4128 3 роки тому +3

    In all the videos I’ve seen everyone places the mixing station before the pump as you have. Since the water is left full open anyway wouldn’t the system work just as well placing the other fluid inputs after the pump to avoid running chemicals through the pump?

    • @housewashing5693
      @housewashing5693  3 роки тому +3

      I understand. But on the one side of the pump you have suction. The other side is pressure. Adding any inputs on the pressure side of the tank won't work because the fluid will be pushing against those inlets and not pulling from them. You could add some type of injector to create a suction but that would drop your flow a ton. So the simplest way is to make the pump pull your chemical's from the suction side.

    I would remove the relay and install a solenoid, and you never have to worry about those relays

    • @housewashing5693
      @housewashing5693  3 роки тому +1

      Relay and solenoids are basically the same. They both use electromagnetic fields (low current) to energize a (higher current) circuit. One produces an electromagnetic field to it's core while the other to it's end. So what is the difference between a 60 amp solenoid and a 60 amp relay when applied to a circuit?
