Kranzle K1622TS Custom Install Solution

Custom Install Solution

The Kranzle K1622TS Custom Install Solution shares the same framework as my Custom Install Kranzle Pressure Washing Solution. The only difference between the two is that this package comes with the Kranzle K1622TS while the other has the K1322TS. There’s only one real reason why you'd want to purchase this kit and that’s if you’re running a 15 amp circuit. 

The K1622TS unit has undergone a makeover. At one time it didn’t have the total stop feature but now it does. This machine is a great option but it is not on par with the better K1322. If you want something with more pressure, a stock OE gun and wand, but less flow, this machine is a winner. 

However, the K1322TS is definitely the superior unit. It is extremely popular for permanent wall mounted solutions as well as for mobile detailers. Even if you keep it on the floor in your garage the footprint is smaller than most pressure washers and is easily tucked away. The biggest selling point of the K1322 is it’s higher flow.

When I started the search for a wall-mountable pressure washing solution back in 2017 for my car wash bay, I ultimately wanted a small, compact pump that I could put on a shelf that looked and worked like the Kranzle K1122. 

I headed down a rabbit hole that kept leading me down dead ends. Too much noise, not enough flow, fit/finish/quality concerns, are all issues I encountered. That is the reason I ended up deciding to take a gamble on the Kranzle K165STS (now the Kranzle KWS700TS) that was in my wash bay. It certainly is great at 2800 PSI and 2.8 GPM and looks absolutely fantastic. The cons: it's loud, cycles for 30 seconds before turning off, and weighs 180lbs. Oh...another small issue...it was $4500 and they no longer make it!

I've been thinking about doing this for as long as I can remember. I've wanted a dedicated wash bay for over 20 years. I thought that would be the most amazing thing in the world to be able to wash cars whenever I want, and not have to drag out a hose every time I wanted to get the job done. Two years ago, I started searching everywhere to find a solution that would not only be suitable but also be amazing.

There are a couple of obscure on-wall semi-complete systems out there, but I wanted something better. I knew I'd have to piece it together and build it myself if it was going to check all my boxes. 

After beating my head against the wall trying to do this, I ended up choosing the massive (in size & expensive) Kranzle K165STS that was on my wall in my dedicated wash bay. Add in tearing the walls apart for bracing and 30A wiring to support 200 lb, boom pole, dozens of tried and failed parts like hoses, wall plates, and quick disconnects, a bunch of Mosmatic parts like buying the wrong boom pole and having to buy a second one; and we are in the $10,000 neighborhood! In other words, very very few people are going to do that all in the pursuit of the amazing result I've been able to obtain. I get that.

Installation Tips

“Custom” is the keyword. It really depends on your needs, the utilities that you’re working with, and how you’re going to have your end solution setup. You really want to get with a plumber if you need to because everything is going to be completely custom for your specific setup in regards to cut lengths and where everything is going to go. This package gets you about 90% of the way there, but that other 10% takes a bit of work to figure out. To give you a head start here are some dimensions for what we have on our wall here: 

• Our water outlet is 22.5" off the ground and 13.5” to the left of the center line. I would recommend this as the absolute minimum distance from the center line. 
• The CR Spotless is mounted with the top of the bracket at 43”. 
• The top of the hose reel mounting bracket is at 61”. 
• The top of the back of the metal shelf is at 68.5”.
• The power outlet should be about the same height as the shelf but to the right. Ours is lower than that because we didn’t move it. Its not ideal. 
• Total width is roughly 30”.
