I think 'on demand' and 'bypass' are 2 different things. "On demand' means the pump shuts off once the shutoff pressure is reached, like 80-90psi on the model listed (I have this pump). Once the pressure drops, by like opening a valve or a handheld wand, the pump turns on and begins to flow liquid at a reduced pressure, which is set by the flow area (flowing thru a series of nozzles or open flow) and the pressure setting of the pump. Mine flows at about 40psi with 4 blue or red nozzles (1.2-1.6gpm). "Bypass" refers to a internal circuit inside the pump that will allow the pump to not cycle rapidly on and off at low flow rates. The pump I have (same one you are questioning) will cycle rapidly if I have the flow rate below 1.2gpm (like using 4 green nozzles or 4 yellow nozzles). The bypass recirculates some flow from the discharge of the pump back to the inlet of the pump to keep the flow rate high enough to avoid cycling. I don't believe this pump is a bypass model.

On demand means that the pump has a pressure switch on it. If your sprayer is off (not spraying) the pump will continue to run until a set pressure is achieved. On this pump it is 60 lbs. At that pressure, the pump will turn off. There will be 60 lbs of pressure in the output hose to your sprayer handle. When you open the spray valve, the pump will turn on. This saves wear and tear on the pump.

This pump features an on demand switch that automatically turns the pump on and off as flow is required (pulling the spray trigger). The bypass feature circulates the water in the pump until demand is required.

Yes, but flush out after use. That heavy of salt content, will affect the rubber diaphragm much faster than normal.

Will this unit pump used motor oil?
-
Tigers11· 12 years ago
This pump is not designed to pump oil or any other hydrocarbon, Shureflo makes that clear in the literature that comes with the unit, the internals of the pump are plastic and rubber so I doubt they would stand up to oil for very long.
