How BIG of Water Tank Do I Need For Pressure Washing?

How big of a water tank do you need for pressure washing? Probably smaller than you think. Everyone wants the giant tank — but a tank full of water can cost you more than it makes you. Jason shares how rarely he's actually hauled water in years of business, the job where 500 gallons in a van blew a transmission (a $400 job that cost $3,000), and how to size a tank to your vehicle so weight never wrecks your truck.

A: Usually smaller than you think. Size it to feed your machine from the spigot, not to haul hundreds of gallons — most jobs have water on site. Q: Is it worth hauling a huge tank of water? A: Rarely. In years of business Jason hauled water only twice. A full 500-gallon tank can overload your truck and blow a transmission — a $400 job isn't worth a $3,000 repair. Q: What's the real risk of an oversized tank? A: Weight. Overloading a van or half-ton truck with water wrecks the drivetrain. Match the tank to what your vehicle can safely carry. 🚿 Training & community: https://www.kpwtrain.com?utm_source=y... 🎄 Winter revenue — Christmas lights: https://christmaslights.io?utm_source... #pressurewashing #pressurewashingbusiness #buffertank
