How do I hook up a pressure washer to a water supply tank?
I'm trying to expand my business by adding a mobile detail unit and residential pressure washing. I know I need a gas powered pressure washer and a 50-250 gallon water supply tank but how exactly do I connect them together for the water to work?

Answer
use metal hose fittings and get some ""heavy duty"" hose to connect the water supply tank to the pressure machine === I would go with the reach of the pressure hose extensions and leave the ""pressure machine securely mounted to the truck [[ rounded head bolts are called stove/carriage bolts and at night add some big link chair and a big=visible lock to discourage any would be night time shop=lifters //// that's what I would do ]] hope it works for you ................

How do you correctly set up large chemical tank to my 5000 lb pressure washer?

Have large pressure washer on my farm. Want to install a 300 or so gallon water and chemical tank. Need to know what chemicals to add in the correct ratio, and if a water pump is needed between the tank and the pressure washer water inlet. At the present, I have a direct drive pump which i think runs at 3500 rpm under full load.
Need chemicals for the polebuildings, tractor grease and stuff like the concrete pad as well as the wood buildings.
Also if you suggest an injection unit for the chemicals, do I need a pump for that also as my suction one doesn't pull enough chemicals (when fully open & cleaned out ) for me.

Answer
Gravity flow will handle the pump feed from the tank to the washer you just have to remember that the tank needs to be up hill from the washer when the volumn in the tank gets low. As far as the chemicals you want to use for cleaning I've found that an auxillary sprayer, not high pressure, is best for that application since the pressure washer doesn't give the chemicals time to do their job.
