Bigger pump rather than shurflo 100psi

[Jake]

Any one tempted to go for a higher flow rate for when needed? Sometimes I wish I had more flow on big jobs...

ME !. You can always turn it down. Don't know why, but sometimes its slower when tank level low.

 

[Smurf]

some on another forum mentioned that they switch over to using 10-12 lpm pumps

 

[Jake]

Wanting something around 7lpm...

10 to 12 is surely too much!!???

 

[Jake]

Actually got myself thinking here, the '100psi' part - is that just what psi the pump cuts out at on back pressure? Or is that the max psi it will push out?

 

[peter rogers]

also think when level of water low means not as much weight in the tank ie not pushing the water out as fast to the pump

also i dont do bigggg jobs ie over 50ft

if u have 100m of hose then the water to go up 50ft does it come out as strong ?? also what about commercial brushes with mre than 2 jets

does 1 brush with 4 jets not give out the same as 2 jets does

If it was a good powerful pump, water level wouldn't do anything....but it does. Don't think they are high quality pumps.

4 jets give more flow (more water) but less pressure(less force)

You dint rely on pressure with window cleaning thogh, I've used my superlite wide brush with 4 jets a few times but don't like it, not because of the 4 jets, but because it's so bloomin heavy.

 

[dredge3]

how is 4 jets more heavy. 2 extra jets weigh nothing

 

[Jake]

@dredge3 its not the jets it the 'wide brush' that's heavy
