8 GPM Pressure Washing. Serious Flow for Serious Drone Work.
Drone cleaning demands consistent water delivery, dependable equipment, and enough output to handle demanding commercial applications.
At the heart of this skid is an 8.5 GPM, 4,000 PSI belt/gear-driven pressure washing system powered by an electric-start Honda GX690 engine.
Designed to supply drone-based rinsing and traditional pressure washing operations, this system delivers the flow required for large-scale cleaning projects.
With dedicated raw-to-pure-water switching, operators can select the appropriate water source for the cleaning application without returning to the skid.
And because the pressure washing system operates independently from the soft wash and pure water equipment, crews have more flexibility when managing multiple cleaning tasks.
8.5 GPM. 4,000 PSI. Built to deliver when the cleaning happens way up there.
ProTool P40 Soft Washing. Send the Chemistry Skyward.
Large commercial façades need more than a garden sprayer and wishful thinking.
This skid features a ProTool P40 soft wash pump powered by an electric-start Honda GX200 engine, delivering chemical application capability for professional drone soft washing.
With a specified pressure of 300 PSI, the P40 system is designed to deliver cleaning solutions through the drone delivery line for application across large exterior surfaces.
Use it for building washing, metal panels, commercial façades, and other suitable chemical cleaning applications.
The dedicated soft wash system includes remote rinse and soap controls, allowing operators to manage chemical delivery from the work area.
Big buildings. Long hose runs. A soft wash system that came prepared.
HydroPanel 4.5. Stop Burning Money on DI Resin.
Pure water is essential for many drone cleaning operations.
But producing large volumes of it using DI-only filtration can get expensive. Fast.
The integrated ProTool HydroPanel 4.5 RO/DI purification system delivers up to approximately 4.5 GPM of purified water, providing high-output production for commercial window cleaning, solar panel cleaning, and drone-based pure water rinsing.
Instead of sending untreated tap water directly through expensive DI resin, the HydroPanel uses reverse osmosis to remove most dissolved solids before final DI polishing.
That dramatically reduces the amount of work the DI resin needs to do.
Why That Matters
For a high-volume contractor, the difference between DI-only purification and an RO/DI system can be substantial.
An illustrative high-use operation might spend $500–$1,000 per week on DI tank exchanges. With suitable feedwater conditions and an appropriately maintained RO/DI system, resin costs can fall significantly.
Actual savings depend on incoming water quality, production volume, membrane performance, and resin exchange costs.
The bigger point?
Your purification system should be producing water—not eating your profits.
300 Gallons of Water Storage. Raw and Pure. Ready to Work.
High-volume drone cleaning requires water capacity that can keep up with the equipment.
This skid features three 100-gallon slimline water tanks, divided into dedicated raw and purified water storage:
The separate water supplies support different cleaning methods and allow operators to switch between raw and purified water for the pressure washing system.
The HydroPanel 4.5 provides onboard purification to replenish the pure water supply.
No reclaim tank. No wastewater storage. Just dedicated water capacity for the cleaning systems.
100 gallons raw. 200 gallons pure. Bring the job.
Skid Nexus Pro S. Control the Operation From the Flight Area.
When your drone is working high above a commercial property, walking back to the skid to switch water sources or adjust chemical delivery isn't an efficient workflow.
That's why this platform includes Skid Nexus Pro S, providing integrated remote control of the major cleaning functions.
Pressure Washing Controls
Soft Wash Controls
Pure Water Delivery
System Monitoring
Start engines. Change water sources. Apply chemistry. Switch to rinse.
All while keeping your attention where it belongs—on the cleaning operation.
Two engines. Multiple cleaning systems. One remote calling the shots.
Independent Cleaning Systems. More Flexibility. Less Waiting.
This skid isn't built around one pump doing everything.
The pressure washing, soft washing, and pure water production systems operate independently, allowing contractors to use the equipment appropriate for each application.
That means the pressure washer doesn't have to double as the soft wash system, and the HydroPanel can produce purified water without relying on the drone delivery equipment.
For commercial crews managing complex projects, independent systems provide greater operational flexibility.
Three dedicated systems. No one-trick-pony nonsense.
Four Stainless Steel Hose Reels. All Business.
A high-output drone skid deserves serious hose management.
This platform features four rear-facing stainless steel hose reels, keeping hose deployment and retrieval organized around the operator's workflow.
The rear-facing layout provides convenient access when the skid is installed in a suitable commercial van or truck configuration.
Dedicated hose management supports drone delivery and water-fed cleaning while helping reduce clutter around the equipment.
Four stainless reels. Rear-facing access. Because tangled hoses don't belong on a flagship rig.
Water-Fed Pole Cleaning. When the Drone Can't Get There.
Drones are impressive. But they're not the answer to every cleaning situation.
Trees, overhangs, obstacles, and restricted flight areas can make traditional water-fed pole cleaning the better choice.
That's why this skid includes a dedicated water-fed pole delivery line, remote water delivery control, and an electric hose reel.
Operators can use purified water for conventional window cleaning and spot-free rinsing when drone access isn't practical.
It's another way to keep the equipment productive across different jobsite conditions.
When the drone can't fly, the water-fed pole still gets paid.
Dedicated Chemical Storage. Ready for the Mix.
Professional drone soft washing requires dedicated chemical storage.
This skid includes:
The dedicated chemical storage supports the P40 soft wash system and remote-controlled chemical application.
Separate tanks help keep chemical handling organized and provide capacity for commercial cleaning operations.
The right chemistry. The right pump. Ready when you are.
96 Inches of Commercial Cleaning Muscle.
This platform uses a 96-inch × 48-inch skid format, designed for installation in suitable large commercial vans and other compatible mounting configurations.
The layout brings together pressure washing, soft washing, RO/DI purification, water storage, chemical storage, remote controls, and hose management into one integrated system.
With stainless fittings, manifolds, and corrosion-resistant plumbing, the skid is designed around demanding exterior cleaning environments.
No collection of disconnected machines.
No improvised maze of hoses.
Just a purpose-built platform designed to support professional drone cleaning.
Eight feet of equipment. A whole lot of capability.
