Will this pump work for a pressure washer that needs 4 gallons a minute?
1 answer-
NorthstarExpert7· 2 years ago
The water supply coming into the pressure washer should be steady and 20% over the rated flow of your pump. 20% more of 4.0 GPM, is 4.8 GPM. Please view item #2685561. This pump is rated at 5.5 GPM.

Okay to keep powered and the output at 60psi all the time? (always in an "on-demand" setup) Or will the diaphragm/valve fail prematurely?
I want to leave this in an on demand setup where it is always receiving power and only the pressure switch turns the pump on and off. This means the output will rest at 60psi for very long periods of time.
Will the pump diaphragm or valve fail prematurely in this type of setup?
1 answer-
NorthstarExpert13· 11 years ago
This pump should never be used unattended where it could run dry for an extended period of time. The pump can run dry for short periods, but for extended periods will cause damage to the pump.

Is the 60 PSI cutout fixed or adjustable?
1 answer-
productexpert6· 11 years ago
On the head of the pump there where the pressure switch is there is a fitting that can adjust the pressure down to a lower pressure. You would not be able to adjust it any higher.
