What kind of battery is needed for this pump? Would it run connected to a lawn mower battery? Or a car battery charger?
I wanna have this hooked up to tank in the corner of a greenhouse connected to a 50' hose with your turbo spray gun. I'm not exactly sure what power source I need. Could I use an ATv, lawn mower, car battery , or car battery charger?

This is a replacement pump and it does not come with corded switch control. You can buy the corded switch controller at parts stores that will pair up to the pump. I just buy the opposing plug mate then I just fuse my hot side and go through a toggle switch I mount on 4 wheeler dash to start/stop pump.

Want to add a hose reel from this site, 1/2 by 50'. Would this work with this pump, or would that cause to much friction loss?

The pump could be used with a hose reel. This pump has 3/8" fittings and would need to be converted to 1/2". There will be a loss of pressure using the larger hose and the longer distance hose.

Can I power the Northstar Model 2270 using a 120volt to 12volt power inverter instead of a battery?

DanTheRiverMan· 10 years ago
Yes, you can use any 12V source that can handle a large amount of current on startup. A battery charger would work fine, or any other 12V source that can provide up to 5Amps or so.

The Northstar pump could be used with a 120 volt to 12 volt power inverter. You would want to be sure not to exceed 8 amp draw for the pump.

Is the exterior of the motor waterproof?
As in, can equipment to which this pump is mounted be washed down without protecting the motor, or left out in the rain?

This pump is not waterproof. Care and common sense should be used when cleaning it and it should not be left out in the rain.

I do not believe its rated as waterproof but all parts are equipped with o rings so I wash mine down and have not ever had a problem, having said that I will not use a power sprayer directly as you could introduce water thru electrical end.

how does flowrate vary with pressure?
The spec says 2.2 gpm at 70 psi. What is the flowrate at other pressures? For example, what is the flowrate with no head pressure? Also, how does the current vary with delivery pressure? Do you have performance curves for this pump that reveal this information?
Thanks

Pumpdude2015· 11 years ago
I have found that if you keep the nozzles and pump paired that came on sprayer you will be just fine. I widened my 10 ft boom on one sprayer to 16 ft and I ordered four additional identical nozzles that Northstar origionally spec out and kicked up the pump to a Northstar 5.5 gpm and I held my 70 psi and flow rate. I measured the spray width to verify my 16 ft width I was after. You have to match gpm to nozzle uses and do math for flow rates and pattern then match this info to the right pump gpm and ground speed to hit rates on chemical being applied.

NorthstarExpert13· 11 years ago
The pump is intended for use in spraying agricultural pesticides and other non-flammable liquids. The factory settings should not be adjusted. There is not a performance curve for this pump. Contact NorthStar Product Support at 1-800-270-0810 for any questions about the appropriate use of the pump and/or optional accessories.
