I just bought two of Bobs Delevan 115volt pumps they are great and way better for us than messing around with batteries.

 

[DJ Carroll]

Sure no problem

Deep Cycle Battery - $120
Battery Box - $15
DELAVAN 5800 SERIES 1/2" COMPLETE ROOF CLEANING SETUP (from PressureTek) - $339.00
Hunter Orange Water Proof Box - $12
35 gal Tank form TSC - $79
Some Wire and Electrical Connectors - Maybe $20
55 Gal Chlorine - $110
Tide Laundry Detergent - $10
Toggle Switch - $20
$725
Mount it in the be of the truck or on the power washing trailer

And leaves ya a few bucks for gas in the truck to go make the money

no need to advertise right away if they are begging ya for the service

This is a post i made a while ago . . .every thing you need

Thanks for the quick response russ. Suggestion on 1/2 or 5/8 Thanks

 

[DJ Carroll]

Oh god here we go lol

 

[hydrokleen]

Im leaning towards 1/2 inch what do you think scrappy?

 

[Mike Sullivan]

I like 5/8" for one pump. 3/4" for two.

 

[Palmetto Roof]

I like my 3/4 hose!

 

[Russ Spence]

5/8 only !!!!!!! and grab the poly gun and 4 way nozzle

 

[DJ Carroll]

its what ever bro . . . .i got the 1/2 cause i was on a thin budget

 

[hydrokleen]

Seems everyone likes the bigger one. I want to thank all who have replied I will share with all about my first venture. Thanks again.

5/8 is the way to go, but 3/4 even better
1/2 will work, but is considerably slower then 5/8.

 

[Squirtgun]

Use the size hose you feel will work best for you.

Go half inch hose, 4 nozzle JRod holder, and and get the 0040 orifice nozzle, you will get the max flow and distance with these things.

 

[chrisduffy543]

i personally like the 5/8.

 

[howarddoug]

I got the 3/4 and like it.
