Congratulations Brian!

And welcome to the forums. You should have plenty of work up your way.

Here are a few lower end set ups I was looking at, and the FatBoy Bandit which is another popular choice from what I hear. I'm just getting off the ground myself and I'm a few steps behind you here in SE Virginia so listen to what the guys say over my opinion. The hose reel is the primary difference in the prices for these models. Mark with "Let Us Spray" in Richmond, VA has the Fatboy Bandit and he's been happy with it too.

Good luck!

If you want to co-brand and make the best use of the SoftWash Systems Autherized program, and you have the money, a SWS cradle skid is the way to go. If you want to get started a little cheaper, I recommend the Twin Pump from Powerwash Store. Paul's engineering and fabrication are excellent, and he supports the SWS community . He comes to, and has hosted SWS events. I have no experience with the Fatboy.

The nice thing about the SWS skid is it is designed for efficiency for a crew to work all day, every day. It's easier to teach two guys to work out of with an efficient routine.

The nice thing about the Twin Pump is it can be used for many things if you upgrade to a SWS skid. Mine is now a bulk rinse pump for my RO/DI water, and a backup soft wash system. I have also used it as a bulk sprayer for degreaser, and F9. I might be biased a little because he is here in Milwaukee near me, which I like.

I agree with Chad. Get the twin pump if you are on a tight budget, and then if you want to grow the business, get a skid. The softwash Systems rigs work well and they just look very professional. I just used my twin pump. I put it on the back of my F-150, added 150 gallons of water and went to an apartment complex to touch up some nasty brick. They didn't have water on site and I needed a pressure washer to blast it off. I used the twin pump to supply water to my pressure washer (cheap home depot washer). I can also use this set up for small graffiti removal where there is no water. It is mounted on a small plywood pallet so easy to take off truck. Feel free to call me anytime as I have one Gerneration I(mothballed but I will use next year) , and two Generation II , and a twin pump.
