After some advice please. Could this ShurFlo pump be used for softwashing, applying blackwash, biocides, hypo etc using a pole and DA Applicator? It says it has Viton seals and is made for heavy chemical usage. So would it last and would it give me enough pressure to spray from the nozzle?

Thanks.

I got one from Ben Marriott a couple of weeks ago. around £190 but 20lpm at 100psi. It might be worth talking to him.

Mine has paid for itself 10 times over already.

 
You will need a bigger pump for doing roofs I would say 15 lpm min. The pump you posted would be ok for small render jobs etc but would take for ever doing roofs with it! Remember to match the flow rate to the proper spray nozzle! Good luck in your new venture :thumbsup:

That's great, thank you for the great advice. I think I'm going to look into a training course to make sure I know what I'm doing before just spraying chemicals around. But I wanted to get an idea of how much the equipment will set me back first. Thank you.
