I did a pretty good amount of housewashing with some concrete work as well a few years ago. This forum and all the fine folks kept me from making more mistakes than I can count. Ended up staying to busy at work to keep the pressure washing up and let it go.
Recently lost my job and have started picking up new work and am really considering doing this right this time and figured this might be the right forum to ask some questions about the rig I'm putting together.
My father picked up an old hot water trailer unit with pretty much everything shot on it. The Landa hot box and burner looks like moss is growing in it and rhw vanguard motor wasn't much better. I thought I could salvage the General ts2021 pump but emptied the old oil and 4 or 5 ounces of water came out before the pump oil.
The trailer itself is rough but I believe salvageable and is basically a metal water tank with wheels and a flat surface.
My plan as of now is using a Honda gx390 and buying a new general ts2021 and mounting it on the same bracket and then to the trailer.
If I can get any kind of traction on some Comercial leads I want to add a 2000 watt generator and possibly the Hydrotek hot link hot box.
I know the gx390 might be working a tad hard on the ts2021 and won't quite give the pump it's full PSI raging but I see that combo for sale online and that's the motor o have that I don't have to buy and if business keeps up I'll be able to swing a bigger one down the line. Am I wrong or is there another general pump I need to look at?
Has anyone had any experience with the Hotlink hotbox? I'm seeing them in the vicinity of $1400 to $1700 depedning on ac vs. DC and shipped unshipped. Is there another brand of hotbox that is under $2,000 that is better/more suited to what I'm running?
I've got a small amount of money coming to me and I'm trying to put It in the right direction. Lord knows I can blow a few k in a heart beat but I want the his to better my situation. And some of the his he money is going into insurance, and llc tax i.d.
I really want my days of getting a bid turned down becuase I'm basically bootlegging to be over with.
Thanks guys for all the support prior and yet to come
