Thanks Cody for building this awesome duel blend system I purchased from you, its working great and Cody did everything professionally and exactly to what his original estimate was. If you looking into soft washing or need a new system call Cody reasonable prices and a great build.
End your video by saying......"and that's how you can be your own boss in the softwash" 😊 sounds better when a country boy says it. Anyways I'm still learning but I definitely see the value in this machine.
Cody what’s the normal life span for the metering valves before they have to be replaced on the blender even with rinsing them out after every job, thanks for your videos by the way...
Power Washing Pros Inc. Lawrence Ashlin the water and surfactant side will theoretically never go out. The SH side will eventually go bad, but it’s a 20$ fix and we have over a year and still going on one. You could make a flush out T valve and extend the lifespan but we just plan on replacing as needed.
Hi, I watch you guys all the time, Lawrence also, I'm building my own soft wash system 12volt 5.5gpm, my question is when I'm ready to start, what license will I need if any, I know I need liability insurance, it'll just be me by myself at first, just trying to see what I will need as far as being legal. I would ask on the Facebook group but those guys razz you too much. Thanks guys God bless!
Bo L you’ll definitely need a business license. I can’t really speak to it since all states/cities are different. Your local city hall should be able to tell you.
Do you build power washer and soft wash systems together on the same rig. N be able to either downsize the equipment or leave enough Room to be able to shut the tail gate with the power washer in the bed
Alexandre Lebel With 100 gallons of water on board, you could do about 2 to 3 house wash jobs, but it is very easy to keep your tanks full at the customers house. If you see you are getting low, just drop a hose in there and top it up through out the day. But you could definitely do a couple of jobs without refilling
I have found a system with a Honda 200 motor and a diaphragm pump. 200 foot hose 10gpm 300 psi. Cody, would you recommend 12volt pumps over the diaphragm ones?
What makes a soft wash system so expensive? I'm getting into the business and I'm not sure if I want to just downstream with a pressure washer, or use a soft wash system. Systems are so expensive though, and I cant figure out why. I know the pumps are only like 100 dollars. So is it just the labor of making them?
@@southeastsoftwash4020 thanks for the reply man. I didn't mean that in anyway disrespectful. I'm just having a hard time getting started due to my budget so I'm trying to find the best set up I can.
American 46 No worries, I did not take it disrespectfully. It does cost a little bit to get into the business, but my company offers financing on our Skid units. If you’re interested let me know and I can get you the financing information. Our skids come with a free training day as well
Cleanscapes Tallahassee The SH tank is plumbed from the top, so there is nowhere for it to leak on the tank. Not sure what you mean by mitigation? Each point where a possible leak could occur is very easily visible and should be monitored periodically and repaired as needed. We have been operating our company truck with this same set up for over a year and no leaks yet.
Hey Cody, Looking to get into softwash business in Indiana. Have my own janitorial company now and want to expand to softwash of roofing and siding. Would like more info about purchasing a skid from you not sure to go with single or dual setup though. Thanks Mike
Taylor Albaugh it Chemically bonded with the dirt you are trying to remove and helps it to rinse off better on house washes, windows etc. It also helps to make your solution thicker so that it does not run off of the roof too quickly
Deepsouthdiggers there are like 20 options out there for surfactant. The pro-mix and any other metering system will work with any of them. I’ve found they are all about the same, just have to find what you like.
Is it possible to have the reels facing the passenger side to wind and unwind curb side? And will that system run a surface cleaner?? I'm new to all this but soaking it up!!
Southeast Softwash Thanks man, I went into a pump shop to purchase a 5.5gpm at 60psi and the tech advised me to purchase a 150psi at 1.5gpm for that length of hose.
mlhm5 wrong. They are marketed for roof cleaning. Lots of professional soft washers use these pumps. I’ve been using them for over a decade. No pump will last forever but these are a very good option. Corrosion resistant Viton valves and Santoprene diaphragm extend pump life

Thanks so much josh! It was a pleasure working with you to get your system built! Wash on!
What was the cost on the build?
Scott Ruch I think we just talked on the phone!
@@southeastsoftwash4020 where do I send my $6500??
its cool to come back to these videos and see how far you have come and how quick. gives me a lot of motivation.
So excited to grab one of these for next spring season. I am currently saving up the money for it. You guys are awesome.
Looks really nice and clean Cody
Fred Wiggins thanks!
How much is that skid?? NICE
Vincent Cobb pricing is in vid description

Anyways I'm still learning but I definitely see the value in this machine.
Those ball valves only last me about three weeks before I have to replace them
If I had this system how would I rinse after I soft wash?
Can you rinse with the soft wash machine or do you need the pressure washer
Good job cody. Im interested in that ‘blender’.... ive only seen the proportioner
Steve Dobson look up the pro-mix-a lot on Facebook.

Robert Yeager we do offer a dual plus skid which includes a pressure washer.
74” length
How much for this set up?
What does a set up like that normally go for?
I like this setup.
How many houses can you do in one day without refilling your water tank ? If you can use your house size as an example ?
Alexandre Lebel

What world be the price for everything
I have found a system with a Honda 200 motor and a diaphragm pump. 200 foot hose
10gpm
300 psi.
Cody, would you recommend 12volt pumps over the diaphragm ones?
Cody you have a link to that reel?
what size softwash hose do you recommend for that pump?
How much does something like this cost?
How did you mount the 55 gallon tanks?
What blue adjustable fan tip is that on your wand and where could I purchase one? Thanks

American 46 frame, hose reels, batteries, charging system, tanks, hose, wands, blend manifolds, labor, it adds up.

Nice!

Nice set up. What size hose are run from the SH , Water and soap tank to the mix a lot proportioner valves?
Thanks
mattspontiacta 1/2 inch sh and water. 1/4 soap
Southeast Softwash - thank you
Where can I buy the switches for the pump?
Do you have any SH leak mitigation?

I’m guessing surfactant is just soap? If you already have bleach why do you need soap too? Jw
Taylor Albaugh it Chemically bonded with the dirt you are trying to remove and helps it to rinse off better on house washes, windows etc.

What kind of surfactant do you recommend when using the pro-mix-a lot?
Deepsouthdiggers there are like 20 options out there for surfactant. The pro-mix and any other metering system will work with any of them. I’ve found they are all about the same, just have to find what you like.
@@southeastsoftwash4020. Thanks I just wondered if slo mo would work in this metering system since it has the consistency of honey.
Deepsouthdiggers might have to add some water to that one. SLO mo is thick!
@@southeastsoftwash4020 Thanks, I appreciate your input.
Will this rust out the bed? I have a new Tacoma and don’t wanna really destroy it yet.
I would rinse it out after the job.
Is it possible to have the reels facing the passenger side to wind and unwind curb side? And will that system run a surface cleaner?? I'm new to all this but soaking it up!!
What is the distance you can spray?
Ryan Gates 35’ ish
Looks god man
Power Washing gave you a shout out on my channel today. Thanks for what you do for the community

What psi are the pumps?
Wazim 60 psi
Southeast Softwash with that much hose, how much would be coming out at the tip?
Wazim it’s a good bit of flow. I can spray to the top of my house in the background of this video.
Southeast Softwash Thanks man, I went into a pump shop to purchase a 5.5gpm at 60psi and the tech advised me to purchase a 150psi at 1.5gpm for that length of hose.
Wazim these work fine on 150 - 200’.
I wouldn’t go over 200’ though
Nice work, Do you ship to Sweden Seriously.
Regards
that pump is not rated for SH
mlhm5 wrong. They are marketed for roof cleaning. Lots of professional soft washers use these pumps. I’ve been using them for over a decade. No pump will last forever but these are a very good option.
Corrosion resistant Viton valves and Santoprene diaphragm extend pump life
