Trying to go Tankless

[Papa John]

Can i remove the items in yellow circle and just put a plug on the end of pump?
The hose barb use to drain water to mixing tank or fresh tank.
There is also a hose at the pressure regulator that also use to cycle water to the mixing tank or fresh water tank.- can i plyg that without harm?
I moved the TM to a transit and space is tight, so not having a tank would be helpful.

Your still going to need to have a bypass for the regulator to work properly.

 

[Trip Moses]

The pressure of the water supply needs to be regulated and your bypass will have to go to the waste tank. Or on the ground.

Does the mixing tank have a shut off float? If so plumb your fresh water to that. Still may need a pressure regulator.

The pump needs to circulate water to prevent over heating. All of my trucks have a mix tank with float valve. The pumps bypass goes into the mixing tank. When the trigger is off, water is circulating from the mix tank, through the pump, back to the mix tank.

self contained pressure washers do it all the time

run the bypass from regulator back to the inlet usng t

install a 145 degree bleed off valve at inlet

Most my pressure washers run back to the supply inlet. Just add extra hose and coil it up. The more hose the cooler the pump will stay.
