This isn't mine but I came across it on CL. It looks 30 years old.

Look at the size of that pump! Does anybody here use equipment with this capacity, if so for what?

My guess would be sewer jetting.

I would say its used to go through sewer mains. we used a huge one when we finalized the sewer line we put in. i think it was 8 inch plastic pipe with runs of about 400 feet. they sent it through the entire system ( 12 blocks ) to clean it out before it came on line. of course this unit was newer and was mounted on a 5k gallon tank truck. If i remember correctly they got a grand a day. It was a small truck the guys told me they usually use 9k gallon tanker trucks.

Just think how long that pump would last running it bout 5000 psi pushing a surface cleaner! Doesn't say how much gpm it has but could be pulleyed down to around 10-12 gpm and run for years! Lol. If it has enough flow already, you could have a guy rinsing off it also
