Water Tank low psi needed!

[roguedetailing]

Unsure if this is the right section to make this post but here is my question:



I am setting up an enclosed trailer for mobile detailing and I`m trying to setup my water tank



I have a 125 Gal horizontal legged water tank - I need enough psi to run water out of the tank and to push out of a hose nozzle on the end of my air hose reel. I`m not using a pressure washer, just need enough power to use a hose nozle.



Advice would be greatly appreciated!



Best

Are you going to be using a generator or only your 12v system on your vehicle? Or are you going to be using the customer`s power?



I nee to know this so I can show you a 12v pump or 120v pump.

Flojet On-Demand Pump — 4.9 GPM, 12 Volt, 3/4in., Model# 04300143A | 12 Volt Pumps | Northern Tool + Equipment



This is the best 12v pump that I know of.

Thank you Justin for the quick response Justin,



I will be using a 4000 Watt Champion portable Generator, and possibly customers power when available.



and luckily there is a Northern Tool down the street from me!

No problem bro. I`m here to help in any way.

Try that pump out. If it doesn`t do what you want, then take it back. I`m sure it will though.

I`m not trying to discourage you but I went this same route. I ended up going to a gas pressure washer.

What`s your plans for your setup? What type of washes?

I agree with Justin, you will work faster and easier, get better results and use less water with a pressure washer. It`s well worth the small investment.

ONR or a waterless wash.

How dirty are these bike? ONR would save you a ton of time!

Justin this may be a good idea for my planned mobile short term setup but which 120V pump would work that I could plug in to generator with or without pressure washer

Depending on your area and chemicals used, this can be done with this low power set up.

Just remember that these pumps go off of gallons per minute. My power washer is 3.0 gallons and has air in the mix. These units will use a lot of water fast.

Fill it with ONR or your favorite waterless wash.

I picked up a 26 gallon one for an extra $10 = $149. I`m going to try this out for I`m really only detailing a couple bikes a day. This was way more in my budget! Thanks IC3DT3 for the assist!

what about the detail caddy, or the one from chemical guys which is battery operated and holds a rather long charge?
