What size fresh water supply tank?

[GreenTechAgain]

I have a 120 gallon recovery tank.

I can run 3 decent size jobs, including tile cleaning before having to dump. So, I have an idea how much water I recover, but no idea how much I use.

What size fresh water tank would be right?

I am wasting way too much time dicking around hooking up to a water supply on every job.

At least 120 or dont bother. Any smaller and you'll be hookung you anyways..

Especially you hugh flow fans

And certainly on tile and upholstery

120 is a good sized tank

160gal, you don't have to always fill it.

both my vans have 100+ nice in the winter not having to figure out how to get water or deal with frozen lines and pipes.

I have a 100 gallon tank in my van for my fresh water

 

[dealtimeman]

you will enjoy anything above at or above a 60 gallon tank. you will fill once a day in the field most days.

I run dual 110 tanks.
One over each wheel well.

Depends .. aside from brutal winters .. it might be cheaper to hook up at every job rather than lug around all that weight !! Gas, wear n tear etc...

are you running a van or box truck?

I'm running a 14 foot box.

Our commercial trucks run a 120 fresh water and 100 recovery, and we never fill the recovery tank before running out of water. It will get through three average job OK.

At least with an adequate fresh tank you can "pick and choose" where to add more.

I have had nothing but a 110 tank for so long running Butlers, I really cannot remember what our others might have had.


And really like our larger 210 waste tanks....

I run 120 in one van and 170 in the other..

I run a 14' box truck as well. I have a 200 gallon tank and its great. On busy days I gerneally run around 160-180 gallons.
