Chris,

Tell us more about it. How many gpm/psi? Capacity of the tank, etc? Inquiring minds want to know.

It's a 21 Horsepower 5000psi at 4gpm. A Deisel gas burner with two hose reels and a 200 gallon tank. Has a toolbox in front and I'll be adding a ladder rack and work lights with a few other things.

It's nice when 1 job can pay for a new toy....:}

Our trailer and truck set up doing roof cleaning, building washing and sidewalks in downtown Stroudsburg(Church of Saint Luke's campus). Mine is not much different than Chris' or anybody else.

Slap an 8 GPM pump on that 21 HP as soon as you can. You will be much happier with the rinsing power of 8 GPM and will run a surface cleaner much better. Nice rig though.

Nice Chris Good Luck with it.

Chris Mozick · Approved Exteior Cleaner

I was going to go with the 8 but the contract I have their is no water except for my 200 gal tank and at 8 gpms it will drain pretty fast that is the only reason why. But trust me I was so close to getting the 8 gpm so I can run two guns at one time

Keep in mind Chris,..you will use the same amount of water either way,.you will just take longer to use it with the 4 GPM,..what I mean is,..you can get the same amount of work done with the water you have,..the 8 GPM would just be faster. Keep in mind also another option,...you can throttle back your engine to run 4 GPM and turn it up when you want to run the full 8 GPM. No big deal,..if you decide to go with an 8 GPM pump,.it will likely be a fairly easy future swap.

Chris Mozick · Approved Exteior Cleaner

Thanks John, thanks Jeff for your input I'm going to go with 5 gpm and like you said I can always upgrade but I have to watch my $ because we're looking at adding another van or truck to our fleet too.
