Box Truck.. convenience meets serviceability
This one was fun to build..
..The customer let us run the hoses under the floor for a clear walkway,
but we also made it very serviceable.
I would have gone with electric-rewind Hose Reels.
He did end up with a electric rewind VacHose Reel...
So here we are.. 2013 is here
and still, the MOST substantial focus in our lives is about Sustainable Relationships.

Tank Feeding a 7gpm pump
When a pump is 4gpm or over,
..and you want to go from Pressure-Fed with a garden hose, to Gravity-Fed with a buffer tank ..aka.. Holding Tank,
You will need to re-plumb your pump with bigger hoses, preferrably dual hoses for the "perfect water supply".
..IF you...
Tank feed for reliability
Paul's right.
..also make sure you upgrade the feed line into the pump with "non-restrictive" thoroughfares.
and as you feed over 4gpm with gravity-feed.. run dual feed lines to the pump..
follow my posts, or just call me.. I'm glad to help.. and I don't bite. :{)

We have been asked many times over many years where to get a roof mountable vent
for running heater exhaust through the roof or side wall of an enclosed trailer or box truck.
Since (as you know) we only build for reliablity.. we put it off 'til we could get it done right..
Well, here ya go...

Plus, I looked at doccuments to find a hiding indicator, and I found one...
Hose Leash is a MUST for pulling longer or larger hoses
If you want to relieve stress on your arms and shoulders when you use long lengths or larger hose..
Remember-
The wands are easier and less stress to manage when they are not dragging the hose !
Use a BeltLeash..
A brand new trailer-system (built by others) was brought in to our service center last week..
.. engine wouldn't run.. NO spark at either magneto..
Tracing wires because the trailer-assembler had added a few things to the electrical..
I found a cut ground wire disallowing the "kill" function of...
So many ask.. "What's reliable in small gasoline engines ?"..
I have meticulously watched the faults and failure that have come through our service dept. over the past 30 years,
and I have to say, the way these engines are treated for a living, is the BIGGEST concern of all,
you wouldn't...

I just got a "thank you" call from a new customer..

as water source for the dual-wand BullDog Pro Pressure Washer we supplied him.

Tank-Feed Pump filters
In this image you can see a clear-bowl filter on EACH pump
..at 12gpm each, and fed with a fire-hydrant.
that takes a 5" cleanable stainless steel 80 mesh element..
10 inch version is also available..
for well-water.. use 5" for 5 gpm, 10" for 8gpm
If you ever pump...
Booster pumps foe tank-feed should be avoided
"up 'n over" is an accident waiting to happen..
WHEN it looses prime, the pump seals will suffer.
..same reason as these guys don't use a booster pump..
It will fail, and you still loose what you were trying to protect.
If you run 1 1/4" rigid...
