trailer set up

Went and put in a bid the other day for a pretty nice sized commercial job doing concrete cleaning at jackson square in new orleans. They called back today and gave me the job. I don't have a trailer set up yet and I'm trying to keep from having to rent one so I'm just wanting to set up a water tank I can run off of for now. What are the bare basics I need for this to work? and isn't there a way to run 2 machines off the same water tank?

If you're looking to do cold water washing, 2 - belt driven machines would work well. For starters, you could get a 275 gallon tote tank, set up 2" plumbing with a tee, then reduce down to 3/4" hose to feed them both. 2 - 4 GPM, 3,500 PSI machines will run you $1415.00 each.

How can I make it work with the machines I have now?
They are direct drive 4gpm machines.
I believe I read somewhere awhile back that I need a pump or something to feed it to the machines.
what kind and where would I get one?
also, is there a way to hook up a 3rd machine to the water tank?

You would need a pump for each machine (Flojet type) and a check valve before the pump. You will have packing problems without doing so. To avoid problems I would listen to Russ on the belt drive machines. Direct drive are not designed to pull water, ther are designed to be force fed.
