Ok your video helped me ! Just wanted to show my idea of plumbing the cap. I got a 1/2” Uniseal which fits snug under the bottom of the cap. Then ran 1/2” line through it. Then 1/4 downstream like through the 1/2”
@jonboysprowash7845 Жыл бұрын
Glad I could help. Sounds like it should work. Uniseals are good.

Very good video. Thanks for the info. I am in the process of building my first rig and struggling with filtering the SH, ( to filter or not filter) but since you dont seem to be having any issues with your soft wash side I will try something similar to what you did and see how it works.
@jonboysprowash7845 Жыл бұрын
Yeah I dont filter the SH. Any filters I think may slow the flow through the pump. I put a mesh filter in once and the bleach eat it up.

Is there any GPM or pressure benefit in using larger size fittings and hoses? 3/4" garden hose, soft wash hose, and all fittings? Versus the different smaller size fittings and hoses?
@jonboysprowash7845 Жыл бұрын
Bigger hoses don’t always mean better. It all depends on what your trying to accomplish.

Could this same set up be used with a 12v pump? I'm building a budget 12v soft wash system and am curious if it would have a problem pulling from this set up.
@jonboysprowash7845 Жыл бұрын
Yes it does. One fitting on this is for my pump the other is for my downstream hose. Check out some of my other videos and you can see how I have it plumbed in the truck. Super easy. Thanks for watching 👍

Love the video. How did you get that inner cap out to expose the 3/4” thread? Did you need to cut it out?
@jonboysprowash7845 Жыл бұрын
Thanks for watching. Yes I drilled some of it out,but still needed some threads so I took a razor knife and cut the excess off.

How do you plan to vent the drum when you start drawing? I plan to use the same set up but for softwash only. I'll still batch in a separate tank for downstreaming to be able to add soap. Just remove the other cap each time?
@jonboysprowash78452 жыл бұрын
I will run it with both tight right now and see how that works. If that gets to be a problem with the tank I will loosen up a cap. Just be trial and error with it.

Just an update. I have ran this for 2 months now and I don’t tighten the caps. I thread them to keep from coming out. It has been a huge game changer for me and my setup. 👍

Just play around with it,and then act like you are on a job. Once you want to move things around to where they work for you then bolt it all down. I use to use soap,but not anymore. It didn’t make a difference for me. When I do a roof I may add a little,but not much.
