i'm in the works of connecting a similar setup in my hhr panel mini cargo van. i just got a 40 gallon water tank, and i bought this water pump
3/4 Horsepower Clear Water Pump
not sure if its suitable. i tried it today, and it worked ok, but im scared that my pw motor is working overtime. im going to northern tools and check out that same water pump that mr sparkle used on his setup. i like the one i have because its 120volts and i can connect it straight to my generator and it prevents me from buying a battery. i will try the water pump from northern tool with the battery to see wich one feeds my pw better.

Cool Mr.Clean But I believe Mr.Sparkle does not use a power (Pressure) washer. I think he is using an on demand water pump for noise level control over the noise of a pressure washer. He may be using 12v pump straight (hose connection to tank and other hose standard water hose with spray nozzle.

cool, yea ive seen the video. but the pressure off the hose looks pretty weak. do you think that will be enough pressure to feed my electric powerwasher? im scared that im going to burn the power washer due to the lack of pressure. perhaps if i buy a 10 foot hose, itll be less travel time and maybe more pressure? ill do some testing with it today.

May I ask about your pressure (power) make, model, gas, electric,psi, gpm
I think shorter hose works better better tank & pump

I use a small electric karcher pressure washer for mobile jobs. You kill way too much water without a PW. Plus it makes life a lot easier. I used to get filthy cleaning wheels but a PW rinse takes off at least half of the dirt (probably more)

Sorry of my misunderstanding of your set up (mobile unit) I was judging from the photos, I too use a KARCHER, I was looking for something slightly quieter to use for early Morning Details in residential areas, but I'll stick with My KARCHER. Hope you Add a few new photos soon
