    I built a dolly system this last summer. A two gpm pump at 110 psi. I rigged up a lithium 24volt to power it with a 6 amphourr lithium battery. And a 15 gallon tank. Smaller unit for harder to reach area nasty terrain and tight spaces. I also used flexzilla air hose for the line spray hose. Thiis a beast easy to move and easily hits second story levels where more precision in spraying is needed. Next year will be a five gpm pump system with a thirty gallon tank on a dolly. Super happy with the results.

    What you are is helping but only 3/4 to half and great of you for sharing helpful ways to become a beginning business, but using a soft wash system like your's within that budget is fine.
    But the cons to using S H and not fully stating the impact of using this chemical no matter how much metered recorded, if you do not thoroughly dilute or pre pair for this chemical to directly effect landscape or any vegitation of the area, depending on mixer rates more watering and diluteling is involved and because time is saved after effects can out way the financial benefits.

    What about using a utility pump that I can plug into my generator instead of having to worry about the battery dying or having to recharge it?

      @@kingofpressurewash Thanks. We have used some for just pushing water from our tanks in the past when there is no water hook up available but just not with chemicals. On a sperate note, have you done any jobs where there was livestock nearby? We have some clients that are wanting a barn roof done and just wondering if you know what a safe timeframe would be for the land around to be safe given that we will saturate it before during and after applying the SH.

      Maybe Texas A&M.

    I’m doing my research and going to start a power washing company spring of next year I’ve been looking at pressure washers so I’m asking to put yourself back when you started should I start out with a 4.0 gpm or just go with the 2.5 or 3.0 with a power scrubber
