Astro Van Mobile Set up

FYI. I didn't see one but you will need a transfer pump for that pressure washer to run off a water tank. You would need a commercial grade PW to use a water tank without a transfer pump.
Good Luck :-)

Well, I think if your pressure washer has a pump...then you shouldn't need a pump. If it's telling you to hook up a hose that has pressure, then I can't imagine it would have a pump on it.

Shurflo makes some great water pumps. I currently have one, and it's worked great for me.

ok it say i need 2.9gpm so which shurflo is good the one i see only pumps 1.5gpm
 
a home center type PW must have water that is under pressure coming to it. If you try running the PW off the tank with out a pump on the tank u will burn the PW pump up.
 
Go to your local pressure washing equipment supply store, they should be able to help you.
 
Mujahdi,
I did get your PM but I answered you here, In case this info could help somebody else :-)

The PW will not work by gravity feed. For gravity feed you need a commercial PW.

Google - how to hook up a pressure washer to a water tank

for more info :buffing:

To use your PW with a tank you need a pump to pump the water from the tank to the PW

I think that pump is overkill. You don't want to exceed your gpm by that much. I would get something closer to what you need.

Plus, that may not be a demand pump. If it's not...it's just gonna keep pumping water your way even when you don't need it.
