I need to get another pressure washer this week for some up coming resort work. I'm looking at a 4gpm/3500psi. Looking for feedback on what pumps you guys use. Please list what you like and dislike about them. If anyone has a machine and they are looking to get rid of it let me know.

Hank

I have been running 2, 4 GMP Genrals for about 5 years. I have never had a problem with either of them. I bought one on Caigs for $400 and the other from Russ. I'm looking into getting a 5.5 soon to help out with all the flat work I have been doing. I have been real busy this year. Its going to be a good year!

I bought a 6gpm 3500 Landa hot water unit two years ago that had not been taken care of with only 600 hours and a 20 hp Onan motor. I had to replace the pump and a few other items to finally get it working well. It has work nicely for us and made it easy to tackle any job. I'm told by my local Landa shop that it is worth between 4 - 5 K and to replace it with a current model with the same specs would be about 8K. I have 2K in it.

Eric,

Before the Udor what pumps did you have on your cold water units?

I have a 5.5 gpm that has been in use since 2009. Still runs strong. Just change the oil every 100 hours.

   Changing the oil makes the pump last a lot longer.

Well I shot the lock off of my wallet today and bought a 5.5 gpm/3500psi today. In addition I bought 200'(total) of 2 wire pw hose and another hose reel. Thanks for the feedback.

Hank

Just as a follow up to my the posts we mounted the pressure washer up high and still have plenty of room to spare.

As soon as I finish this 96 unit/32 bldg resort I'm starting on a hot water rig. I have not decided on a trailer or another truck yet.
