I have the same wash bay setup with an Active 2.0. I have an extra 50' high pressure hose and quick disconnects the Active 2.0's water supply line and high pressure hose connection to the hose reel. When I want to use the Active 2.0 around the house, I can make it portable by quickly disconnecting it from my wash system and connecting it to a garden hose and the extra pressure washer hose. Best of both worlds.

Nice setup. I'm waiting for my Ryobi washer to die... Then either the AR blue or kranzle will go up.

Maintaining 2 black cars and 1 white.. Why do I punish myself 😄

At least this makes setup and cleanup way easier. Spot free rinse is amazing. I've had it for over a decade. Rinse and blow dry or let it air dry.

very nice! the active is nice and light weight...

this ar 630 is pretty damn heavy. i'm actually going to buy a wash cart from harbor freight to use to store/stow the pressure washer...

but holy crap does the extra water flow make a huge difference in the quality of foam and the rinse process.

Me too. My last 2.0 was just replaced under warranty after 9 months of homeowner use. Crazy as the pump just locked up during a wash. Thankfully I did not wait to walk back into the garage as the unit itself was smoldering heavily and GFCI did not trip. I offered to send it back for them to investigate, but they just left it at we are thankful nothing bad happened. Don't bother sending the old one back, you can toss it or keep it for parts.

I guess good customer service, but I'm left wondering if I'm literally playing with fire.

My Active 2.0 setup!

I need to install a piping system for my CR Spotless eventually but just connecting/disconnecting manually at the moment.
