Power Wash Truck Video

POWER WASH TRUCK VIDEO

This Power Wash Truck Video post features a recent project for one of our customers. The Doug Rucker Store provides pressure washing professionals with truck, van, and trailer builds. All of our builds are customized to fit the needs and desires of the customer. So this video details all the equipment as well as installation and plumbing. Our passion is assisting new pressure washing professionals with their business. So we hope all of our videos help you grow your pressure washing business. Thank you for checking out this POWER WASH TRUCK VIDEO.

PLUMBING FOR PRESSURE WASHER

Right off the bat, you’ll see how the plumbing for the water supply is set up for this trailer build. This connects to the pressure washer machine with bulk head fittings and hose specifications. I also walk you through the unloader bypass hose set up with which returns water back to the tank when off trigger. This POWER WASH TRUCK VIDEO also includes a FLOW PRO remote bypass system. At about 4:45, I provide some tips on various wiring options for the Flow Pro.

DOWNSTREAM INJECTOR

The downstream injector is another important piece of this POWER WASH TRUCK VIDEO set up. We use a check valve in order to obtain a stronger mix and the contributes to injector longevity. I also show a poly three way ball valve that enables me to rinse the injector at the end of every job. You will also notice how all of this connects to the various tanks on board. In fact, I even explain how the inside of the tanks are set up. Setting up a vent hose to bleach tanks helps protect your equipment from deterioration. The Kingslinger Soft Wash System, hose reels and other aspects of this POWER WASH TRUCK VIDEO are also included.

PRESSURE WASHING TRUCK

If you are new to the pressure washing business, you will need to decide how to set up your equipment. There are either open or enclosed trucks, trailers, and vans. I have a 2013 Ford F150 long bed, which is an 8 foot bed. My pressure washing truck set up is a skid system. Obviously, the larger the truck, the more room you will have to store and haul equipment.

EQUIPMENT DETAILS

First, we have the 10 GPM KINGSLINGER soft wash system. Next, there is a 5 GPM 3500 PSI pressure washer as well as an 8 GPM 3500 PSI pressure washer. It’s very helpful to have both systems in the event that one of them fails for some reason and you are unable to complete the work. However, over the years, I found this to rarely ever be the case. If I had it to do over again, I would most likely eliminate the 5 GPM pressure washer. This would provide more usable space on the shelves which provide extremely easy access.

OTHER ACCESSORIES

Check out the video for all the pressure washing truck setup details. But you’ll notice a 50 foot hose that provides air to the Kingslinger. This is also very helpful for other uses such as inflating automobile tires. You will notice 4 electric titan hose reels. I cover each hose specification and how they are connected in the video at about 5:30. On the back of the truck is our ladder rack. In some cases, I have notice that you need a step ladder to get to the ladder. These racks are easy to reach and we have both a 16 foot and a 24 foot ladder. There are three 80 gallon tanks which are vented, plumbed and connected as explained in the video. Venting is very important when it comes to protecting the investment you have in equipment. If you are new to the industry and considering my online video school, check out these reviews.

PRESSURE WASH TRUCK

At Doug Rucker Store, we provide PRESSURE WASH TRUCK and trailer build service. This is especially helpful for those just starting out in the pressure washing business. We recently had an opportunity to provide this service for a pressure washing pro from Austin, Texas. They purchased a previously city owned vehicle and brought it to us for the build out. We did make some minor repairs and improvements to the enclosed portion of the truck before installing equipment. This included things like patching holes, installing new aluminum flooring, and sealing all surfaces. This phase is important to ensure maximum protection of new equipment.

SOFT WASH WITH KINGSLINGER

First, the KINGSLINGER SOFT WASH SYSTEM goes in with plumbing through the floor. This is because the unit needs to be drained to keep moisture from building up and adversely affecting the system. When considering a pressure wash truck or trailer build, this is a great way to provide soft wash service. Soft washing is critical to protect a variety of surfaces from damage resulting from large volume of high pressure water blasting. It has three different valves to meter mix ratios, usually water, bleach and another detergent.

ADDITONAL PRESSURE WASH EQUIPMENT

This particular project was for an existing car detail business that was expanding their service into the pressure washing sector. So for this pressure wash truck build, we provide him with a new pressure washer also plumbed to an 85 gallon space saving tank. In fact, two new tanks enable him to store water and bleach. They are bolted down and firmly secure. The schertz box remote control for down streaming and a new surface cleaner is also part of this package. In addition, hoses and hose reels are a great addition to this pressure wash truck build. It’s important to have pressure hose, soft wash hose, and a garden hose. For larger projects, you would also want to consider spare hose in order to effectively clean without having to relocate equipment. If it interests you, check out another post. The sled is what makes this one really special!
