Thank you sir! Feedback is greatly appreciated.

For the nearly 70 people who have already purchased a kit, i sent a PM with a link to my survey/feedback form. I greatly appreciate anyone who takes the few minutes to fill it out. This is a great way to provide me long and short term feedback and also remain anonymous if you choose. The survey results will likely be made public (without names) at a later time once enough data is collected. This will be used for me to not only improve the product I offer, but also make sure I continue to deliver top notch customer service.

For new buyers going foreword, the survey/feedback link can be found at the top of post #1 and I encourage everyone to fill it out after they have purchased, installed, AND used the product in the field.

This form is separate from the public poll listed in this thread, and your response there is also appreciated so others can see the results. Thank you all for your time and business!

 

PM inbound.

 

Hello everyone, I know some of you are wondering if this kit has enough pressure. From experience I feel like this kit has more than enough pressure (Obviously not comparing it to a garden hose). If you are interested in the kit for camping and rinsing equipment like mountain bikes, surfboards etc. this kit is ideal. Here are some videos I took of the settings that have the best pressure. Hope this helps!

Video link isn't working

Hey Guys, sorry it was working for me. I'll see how I can fix it when I get off work. Anyone know how to successfully attach a YouTube video to the thread?

 

Just right click on the video, copy the URL, then click the "film icon" and insert the copied URL and post. Test video below for you to copy if needed.

 

Hey thanks for the info. Is there a way I can just upload them from my camera phone? It just wouldn't let me because of the size of the video... Thanks!

 

I have not been able to load videos through the media upload on TW. There might be a way but I always use an editing program first so I just use the link.

 

Got mine installed over the weekend. Had some ground issues to work out but @ProForce was right on top of it. Great product, highly recommended.

 

I like the connections being inside he cubby. I think I'll ask for it to be installed that way. Do you guys keep the hose and everything in the cubby all the time? Or do you guys lock it up in the cab?

 

I'm just leaving it in the cubby but I have a cap that's locked.

 

Thant's my plan as well when I get to my install. I also have a cap that's locked 99.9% of the time.

 

I have the quick discos and store everything in the cubby, and its not locked in any way. I did add a gasket and 3d printed fittings to make it waterproof though and this has really helped keep it clean in there.

 

Where did you get the gasket and fitting

Feedback from the google form survey has been extremely helpful in identifying areas of opportunity and I thank everyone who has taken the time to complete it. It has become abundantly clear that there are 2 things everyone would like to see, and those are more pressure, and a portable version.

To first address the pressure concern. I will work to revise the OP to make it more clear that this kit is not designed to deliver high pressure. The primary goal behind the design was functionality and water consumption. Increasing pressure means more water consumption, which defeats its purpose. Larger pumps were tested and delivered minimal increase in pressure but used more water. Cost also drastically increases with larger pumps and although most who suggested more pressure also said they would pay more for it, it would likely add $50-100 and then would no longer fit inside the cubby. I will continue to explore more pump options that meet the needs of the general audience, but for immediate future (at least through round 3) the pump will need to remain the same as I have already purchased them. I honestly dont forsee an option that will provide the output that some are seeking while preserving the design and functionality of this kit, but I will certainly keep trying to fill this gap.

The second demand was a portable option. As i cannot currently guarantee these will be produced, I am building one to see how it works. This will actually be the 2nd portable kit ive made, but this one will eventually be listed FS here once its complete and the price will be roughly $250.00. Here are some sneak peak pics of the kit:

 

As always, great work.
