What pump would you recommend?

[Lonny]

Looking for an ELECTRIC pump recommendation. I am trying to find something that will give me good flow and pressure- over 500 psi- to keep up with a 5 jet wand. Reliability of course is an important issue.

 

[Shawn Forsythe]

How many amps do you have at your disposal to power said application? And what is the jet equivalent opening of the subject wand? (to determine flow-GPH at 500 psi)

 

[Lonny]

Amps- 10-15,
If necessary it can be on its very own circuit.

Wand flow-????
I have no idea anymore, I just want the thing to hold a good pressure and adequately flush the soils.
The pump I have now is a pumptec, which has lasted a year and a half, running 140-180 degree water through it. 500psi, but drops to 200-250 with a 2 jet wand running 03's.

General Pump T9051 with a 1.5HP Motor.

Worn jets or a bad regulator could be making the drop.

It drop less than 100 lbs.

Mine cleans at well over 400lbs

The jets are new, how can I check the regulator?

Here is our General Pump system in a Ninja:

2.2 GPM Flow

It fits better now in a Breeze extractor.
