In need of some serious help people. So I my pressure washer is this one http://www.pressure-pro.com/spec-sheet/B5550HGEA511.pdf I have a few extras on it but this is the model it's built on. 5.5 gpm 5000 psi pump with GX690. I knew buying it the horsepower wasn't there but I was cool with...

Sorry if not posted in the right place. I'm a plumber so this will be used for sewer cleaning. 5.5 gpm 4300 psi GX690 with a kevlar cog belt driven 5000 psi rated General pump Parker stainless steel fittings(cost a grip!!!) Extendo bed slide rated at 1000 lbs. Challenger door 150' jumper...

Do you guys use stainless steel fittings or stick with the steel fittings? For those that use the steel fittings....has the rust ever been an issue?

Are these hose reels any good? Is there something better that will fit in the same space? Looking specifically at the M-10-5 model. http://hosetract.com/m-series-3/

Looking to hook up my new pressure washer and it will be hose fed. It's 5.5 gpm. 10-15 gpm is normal out here out the tap. When I check water out the tap without the inline filter (that came with the pw) I get 10 gpm. With the filter I'm getting 8.2 gpm. So here's the question. Since the...

So looking at 3 different engines. Vanguard 21 hp Honda GX630 Kohler CH621 The kohler is rated at 19 hp but is darn close on displacement. The kohler has hydraulic lifters...not sure about the other two. The vanguard is by far the lightest and smallest which worries me. I was always...

So my current setup is 4.5 gpm 3000 psi and currently use 3/8 hose to reduce pressure loss at the nozzle. I want to go to 1/4 hose (this is for sewer jetting) and am seriously contemplating changing my setup. I'll be offloading this off the van and onto the ground close to my work area. So...

So the formula......gpm x pressure divided by 1100 to get engine size. Do gear reducers and belt drives change that formula?

About a month ago, I installed a ball valve on my other inlet to help during starting. I use a cat 4sf pump. The valve is open and dumps on the ground while I start the engine(water is on). Once the engine is running for about 30 seconds at full rpm, I slowly close the valve and go to work...

What's the difference between the black one and the red/white one?

Do they exist? Something to turn it on/off, up/lower rpm? If so, who makes and sells it?

Needed/not needed? Opinions? Thanks.

Description to follow upload of pics

Looking at a 25hp kohler command pro engine with a General TSF1819 that pushes out 6.3 gpm 4350 psi. I'm within spec for the formula but really close. Gonna use a belt drive. Will this work or should I increase engine size or decrease pump specs?

Are there any pressure washer trade shows or conventions in the LA area?
