Power Washing and Roof Cleaning Forum

Doug,

i use flojet 5 gal a minutes pump that I buy from Dultmier. They are small and cheap, 106 buck. I buy the regular 115/120 volt ones and just put a plug end on them when I get them. I have a back up Nothern Tool 7 gal a min pump, but that cheap flojet one has been on the wall since I changed it out in March. It just started to go this past week. I will post a pic later today.

It's faster than u think. It's he first thing my guys do when they come in while loading the rest of the truck and getting the paperwork out of the office. Only take a few minutes. I also stagger my trucks by 20-30 minutes every day, so they do not bump into each other and have little pow wows in the morning.

 That's a 12v.......why not go with 110?

Funny, I just looked it up. I equate Northern Tool with Harbor Freight.....meaning they sell cheap junk that never lasts. This pump, according to the write up, looks better than the ones most of the industry stores sell.......and has a 2 year warranty (probably not for bleach but still).

Are you shooting roofs with it as well?

Yes and it is a great pump. And we use it on one system and it does have a commercial warranty, that they stand behind.

 Regaurdless of how you equate it. I mentioned I have two. Not because of price. I buy the best I can. I bought one to use as a transfer pump of straight 12.5 % from tank to truck. I was cleaning a large roof and had trouble with an air pump. Hooked up a second air pump and it gave me problems. So I was lucky enough to have parts to use the Northern pump to finish the job. I now no longer carry an air compressor. I went back to electric and keep a back up. On the 7gpm it states using a 1' suction hose. Good Pump!
