8 gpm with 22" surface cleaner good idea?

I am seriously considering purchasing a sirocco sgv316 and OWS to run with our hydrotek 8 gpm 3500 psi unit. We only run one guy on the unit. Have any of you used this configuration with success? Jerry mentioned the surface cleaner being able to handle up to 6.5 gpm if I change tips out. How do I run a reclamation surface cleaner at 8 gpm?
Need to solve this quickly if possible.
Thanks!

Ask Jerry at Sirocco what you would need, he is the guy that makes the reclaimation things..... I am sure you will find your answer there.

The SGV 3-16 will handle 8GPM without an issue. Are you wondering if the surface cleaner will?
You should be fine, there may be some flow restrictions but the surface cleaner and recovery system will work at that gpm.

looking at the specs on the sirocco 22" it says up to 6 gpm. Jerry said it could handle 8 gpm but why not have it listed as being able to handle 8 gpm? I am looking at the mosmatic 30" with the SGV316. I would think the larger surface cleaner would be a better choice but is there any reason to go with the smaller surface cleaner? Might be a dumb question but just want to check.

The larger vacuum surface cleaners will require more cfm's to pull the water, not sure if that model will work with the 30" vacuum surface cleaner.

The Sirocco vacuum surface cleaners are proven to do a good job.

I just ordered modification kits for my Steel Eagle 12" and 24" vacuum surface cleaners to make them work better from Jerry at Sirocco.

I would call Paul or Jerry and he will talk to you about the differences.
