  Pressure washer question

Pressure washers need a pressurized inlet water supply. Damage to the pump will occur if the pump is operated without a pressurized water supply. Call some of the supply houses and obtain the price of a pump to replace the pump currently on the unit. I would recommend you be setting down when you get the price. I am sure your friend would/will be real surprised at having to replace the pump when you return the unit. That said, the bottom line will be beteen you and your friend when you return the unit.

  Pressure washer question

Yes, well, that is why I contacted Cat Pumps directly, and they gave me the go-ahead.

That is also why I made up a water tank using a plastic 55-gallon barrel and 1-1/2 inch suction line. I JB Welded a 1-1/2 inch fitting on to the drum, got the required fittings to reduce it to garden hose size for the pump inlet, and tried it out today. Works like a charm. Set the barrel up in the back of the truck with the pressure washer on the ground so I had about 3-1/2 or 4 feet of head. I didn't need high pressure for this job, just about like a car wash, so I turned the regulator down toward the lower end of adjustment. No pump cavitation that I could tell. Only used about 2/3 of my water supply in the 20 minutes or so I worked on the tractor.

Your results may vary.

Thanks,

Bill
