It would have been a huge hassle to even get his to my house.

Enter OG and Matt's set up. As he said in an interview - he sells solutions as opposed to products. I certainly never would have come up with this set up. I had a friend and his plumber nephew come over and help me and we (they really) ran water from my basement through the garage wall and to the PW. We (they, lol) ran PEX-B from the basement around the edge of the garage. Also added a bucket filler hose off the side. I'd never done any of this before so the friends and family help was wonderful and I LOVE the set up! I can finally wash my cars at home and take my time doing it. I also added some garage speakers and a power cable reel. I was going to use Cox power reel, but it had a 20A plug and was $400 more than the $95 one I got that will be more than plenty for my needs. And the power cable is even blue to match all of the PW stuff as well as my car to boot.

Also the cheap accessory I didn't know I needed - the little thing that goes under the wheels to keep the hose from getting stuck. Also still working on my stock of microfiber towels.

This is awesome! How did you secure the Active 2.0 to the shelf? I just bought the shelf from Obsessed Garage with the mounting hardware, but it looks like that the hardware is for the Kranzler, not the Active 2.0.

Correct. The hardware they give you only works for the Kranzle. Check out my video. Somewhere in the middle that I show the brackets that I used on the shelf that are doing a good job holding it in place..

I've got a very basic Activ 2.0 setup in my garage. Still need a much longer hose (the 20ft hose that comes with the unit is way too short). I recently tried a 100ft hose but it was behaving weirdly - pressure buildup in the back hose after releasing the trigger... going to try a 50ft hose instead.

Maybe 50 is the sweet spot.
