What size water tank should I consider getting? Something that can handle 5 to 10 washes per day without fill-ups and maybe more.



Detrailers advised me that a 90 - 100 gallon tank would effectively wash 13 - 19 average size vehicles. Those numbers seem a little high to me.

Great! I appreciate the quick reply. A 90 - 100 gallon should be all I need.

100 Gallon Tank Is Fine. I Get 9-10 Cars Out Of 100 Gallon.

8-10 gallons per car was my average. If I was using my pump driven hose I would use 5-7, with the pressure wash I used 10-12. I use ONR now so I generally fill my 50 gallon tank each week.

Do you do anything to treat the water in your tank or is the UV coating generally enough to keep bacteria, etc. at bay?

I usually fill my 225gallon tank to 125 gallons before going out for the day... And usually come back with around 40 gallons.



Today I filled it to 100gallons, and now its at 50.. Washed a black Charger and a Silver F350...
