Hey all,
New here but not new to detailing. I've been heavily into detailing as a side hobby/ addiction for the past decade or so and have lurked here for quite some time, but have an interesting setup I'd like to configure for my house that it doesn't seem 100% clear what to go with for my needs.
Basically I am looking to setup a 30 gallon or so sized water tank in my side yard that I can fill with distilled water to use as a water source for my sun joe SPX3001 electric pressure washer. I am fully aware that the pressure washer is not self priming and I would to have a transfer pump connected in-line between the tank and pressure washer hose inlet in order to make all this work, but am having trouble determining exactly what pump I need to make this work as a seamless setup that can be used whenever I want without bothering the neighbors.
My goals for the setup are as follows:
-Tank will be stored year-round outside with quick connects and a valve so I can quickly connect and disconnect the pump to the pressure washer as needed within 30 seconds or so
-Looking for a pump that is quiet and can be used for hours at a time that only cycles when needed (pressure washer has TSS system) so it isn't continuously cycling for hours on end
-I need a pump that is powerful enough to flow at 2 gpm, but more importantly can flow water to the pressure washer which is about 50ft away since I'll be using it in the garage late at night.
-Would prefer a wall outlet style pump so that all I need is to run an extension cord to power it when needed.
-Would like to keep the total cost to around $2-300 or so which I feel should be relatively doable
Other than that, I feel this is a pretty basic setup, I'm just stuck trying to figure out what to buy! Lol.
Can some of you more experienced guys recommend a pump and tank that I should purchase given the needs? Anything else I should know would be appreciated! Thanks!
