After spending a lot of days online searching for an affordable and strong water barrel, I have come to conclusion that a wheelie bin is the most suitable one. It's cheaper than those blue barrels and various forms of IBC tanks. Unlike others, the structure around the lid is very strong, has a wide wide, you can attach things to it if you require, it's got wheels not to mention and sides are flat making it ideal to install different kinds of pipes and hoses. Where there is a will, there is a way! 😃

Informative Tutorial. Very well explained. Thank you for this

Really good video , thanks

Great video, thank you 🙂

Thanks for sharing.

I bought everything from your links, but you don't have one female hose connector in the shopping list, you only have 2x male hose connectors, and just now I noticed in the video that you're using a female hose connector on the fill valve.

very nice

Thank you for taking the time to make this gem of a video! At the end what did you mean by sucking water?

Is yours a 15 litre a min machine pal and thanks this is very helpful

SO I constructed a similar setup but I decided to use a clear plastic tote bin for my tank and raise it up on cinder blocks due to my pressure washer being mounted on my wall. My problem is that my washer gets no pressure or flow to it and I cannot figure out why the water isn't pumping with enough force. Do you think because I used a wide shallow tote and not a taller narrow bin I'm having flow rate problems? I know water column has a lot to do with pressure but I figured I'd have enough flow to get to the washer at least.

Sucking through hose lock connectors. Pump will be drawing air and cavitating it's tits off.

i have a dewalt 3600 psi 2.5 gpm machine, direct drive, is this enough cause i dont know if my machine sucks water

What pipe are you running from your machine to the buffer tank please mate?
