Hot Super Skid 8 gpm 3500 psi TRAPPED PRESSURE UNLOADER 12 Volt Honda

Please inspect belts for adjustment after 30 days. No warranty on belts. Unloader settings, clogged nozzles and loose belts are some causes of belt failure.

Did you know that you lose a minimum of 300 psi every 100' of 3/8" ID high-pressure hose when using 8 GPM? Add the hose reel, any extra fittings under pressure, the gun/wand, and quick connects and you are down quite a bit of pressure.

This powerful, time-saving hot skid unit will arrive with a 1" hose barb on the inlet of the pump. We strongly recommend that you purchase our PL-8-TO or PL-8-TA kit which has everything you need to correctly plumb this unit. We recommend switching out the 1" barb to 1.5", upsizing the non-collapsible suction hose to 1.5" ID, upsizing the filter to 80 mesh 1.5", installing a 1.5" bulkhead, brass hose barb and 1/2" bulkhead. Increase the jump hose to the reel to a 1/2" high-pressure hose and use a 50' hose as the first length of hose on the reel.

(Always strip all hose from the reel when in use.) Upsizing the hose IDs will allow you to shoot farther, increase the cleaning units and efficiency on your pressure washer as well, and move much faster when using your surface cleaner. 

Upsizing your hoses will prevent back-pressure to your pump, help your valves and high-pressure seals last longer, prevent your safety relief valve from spraying, and supply enough water to your pump using the 'double your supply hose ID in relation to your inlet port' plumbing rule of thumb and keep your pump cooler leading to less downtime. 

If using a chemical injector, install the injector only when in use and install it several feet downstream of the unloader to prevent back-siphoning into the unloader/pump manifold.

Wonder what the difference is between a hot box and a super skid? We asked bill Matthews. His response is copied (with his permission) below:

As for the burner efficiency, they would be within only a few percent of each other typically in.

The upper 70-80 percent range (roughly 76-82%).

The best comparison you made would be that the fuel capacity is diminished for the hot box by 31%.

And for the gas engine by 50%.

One advantage would be that the HBS12V80 has a slightly larger coil and would allow for a slight.

Larger heat rises roughly 10deg but would consume roughly .7 GPH more fuel.

8012PRO-35HG 2.8 GPH diesel (approx. 170deg;) (12-gallon tank approx. 4.28hrs)

Honda GX690 1.8 GPH gas (12-gallon tank approx. 6.66 hrs.) 

*************************************************

HBS12V80 3.5 GPH diesel (approx. 180 deg +) (8.5-gallon tank approx. 3.03 hrs.)

Honda GX690 1.8 GPH gas (6-gallon tank approx. 3.33 hrs.).

Both motor pump configurations are virtually identical.

We recommend the Whisper Wash 19" Extreme), the 24" Ground Force (6715), the 24" Lil Big Guy, or the 28" Big Guy for use with this 8 gpm hot skid. 

This Super Skid unit should be paired with an 8.5 orifice spray nozzle or larger. Choose two 4.5 25-degree spray nozzles  (1122) for a two-tip spray bar on your surface cleaner or four 2.5 25-degree spray nozzles (2812) for a four-tip bar.

Add a high-pressure ball valve (6292.SM) and a live gun swivel (6920) to save steps and prevent a fight with your hose.

Use a 9.0 turbo nozzle (4656) with this unit.
