50psi on the tank when empty w 50 psi on the water hose. you fill it at the house until it goes static. the t handle is a threaded plug where i add squirt of soap. also, when i get home and back it in the shed, i just hook up a hose and let it spray for about 10 minutes, then close both valves and it is loaded for the next trip.
i don't have brakes, but for you guys that do, you could plumb this into flush ports. the beauty of this is you get a pressurized water source to wash off your trailer with no pumps , wires, batteries, etc. and there is not anything to steal at the ramp.

Love the design of your self-contained rinse system. Not to mention the concrete filled PVC to keep the trailer from floating and the gussets on the bunk brackets. You sir are crafty.

So instead of soap, you could add salt away as well...

Damn.. I threw away a waterlogged expansion tank just like that about 2 months ago... got a brandy new one on my boiler now... <sigh> Great idea though. Nicely thought out. I usually launch in semi-fresh water and run downriver to the ocean, but there's always a trip or two to a salt water launch ramp. Might not be a bad idea. Gotta think about how to rig it up.. are those 180* irrigation nozzles?...and maybe a bigger tank. I reely like the part about washing out the brakes.

those are Xeri spray nozzels made for drip irrigation. they are 180*. a waterlogged tank would not work, you need the bladder to give added pressure as the water is being sprayed. i was thinking about changing the 1" line down the frame to the valve to 2". should give me about 5 minutes of spray vs the 2 minutes i have now. if you have a tank the rest of the materials are bout $20. the tanks run around $50
