Yea and it is supposed to shoot almost 50 feet

Liberty SoftWash · Jul 13, 2013

It won't do 50, I saw a demo once more like 25 with no wind.

I have been using Pentaflex pumps for years. They are the best built 12 volts around. You can not get below a 20 roof cleaning tip or it will burn up the pressure switch. If you burn one up call me as I have 5 in stock. I have not found a distributor that keeps them in stock and it usually takes 6 weeks to get them. With a 20 tip the most I could get was 30 feet.

God, I hope you are both wrong. 1300 bucks.

I got a brand new gx390 with a 4gpm pump. Bought off this window cleaner going out of business. 500. Just sitting there. (mistake) I was trying to help him out. Christian and all.

Uhhhhh.....

Let's hope this is something noone knows about. And I'm going to tell you about it, HERE at the RCIA!

Everyone I spoke with at the store, no chit, I asked them too about the height. Everyone said the same thing.

This is a second generation pump. Improvements.

We putting it on the trailer Monday!!!!!!!

Cross your fingers for me.

gutterdog · Jul 14, 2013

It is still for sale. A brand new Honda GX390 w/a 4 gpm pump. $500!!!!

gutterdog · Jul 14, 2013

You can start a company with nothing but that, a trailer, hose reels, and a buffer tank.

I did.

30 feet wouldn't be good enough, for the job I bout it for. It is still better than we got now.

I'm hoping for the best.

now its time I learn how to rebuild these.

and get some parts.

Liberty SoftWash · Jul 14, 2013

All flo 5 yrs old never worked on it.

gutterdog · Jul 14, 2013

I don't have that space on the trailer, Eric.

gutterdog · Jul 15, 2013

installed and tested for height.

It gets about 30 feet in height.

Bummer.

But it is still better than what I had.

Mike, where did you get it from?

paroofguy · Premium Member Roof Cleaning Institute of America

Mike we had the original version of that system and it worked great. Now, that I have more experience, I went back to my Fatboy and larger hoses so we can get 35-40 feet consistently. We just made up a simple 6 foot long extension that quick connects to the end of our spray gun and that gives me the extra little bit we need sometime to hit the peaks on a day with wind.

Somewhere in this madness is a tradeoff when it comes to the quiet hum of 12v versus pumps with rocket thrust motors attached. Gary has the patent rights to that I think... So until pristine gets that arm perfected, the discussion will continue...

Nice trailer set up. Now the new rig you bought and are selling, how heavy is the beast? I don't need one but was curious.
