Looking for advice on couple of things, just starting up.

Hey

So I'm starting up with driveway, patio etc.. pressure washing. I'm a gardener with my main work being lawn care and hedge cutting. I've done a few jobs in the past for current customers with a small 9lpm pressure washer but quickly realised that if I wanted to do it properly, I'd need something bigger.

Decided on the loncin 21lpm from rutland pumps. Think ill probably go with the bundle to get the surface cleaner and bin conversion kit as well.

Just looking at few extras I need and i was wondering, is the 240l bin usually enough or should I opt for the 360l? I'm having to buy one and it's not a huge price difference. Also for hose to feed the bufffer tank, should I go 3/4 or 1 inch?

Thanks

Go bigger buffer if you have space in van. Fill hose is restricted by customers tap and the fitting plus 1 inch is quite big to coil up.

depends on space - you can run a 21L machine on a fold up canvas water butt easily as long as your mindful of the water levels and flow. if you have space go bigger, if not use what you can fit. get suttner kew trigger and lances that fit that, makes life infinitely easier.

All depends on flow from the tap a small bin will be ok if you have high tap pressure with a good flow , if pressure is low the bigger the bun the better as when it’s full it will last longer , we have a 23 lpm machine and have a 240 ltr bin but do run out on a few jobs that have poor pressure and flow , I just go and do something else for 5 muinits it’s not usually a big problem but can be frustrating when trying to crack on
