Hello everyone , I am looking into making an on-demand pump set up for my mobile unit . I am wondering if the gpm matter or not, also what psi should I look at? I will be using this setup for rinsing wheels and some washing also .
 
Are you using it with a garden hose and spray nozzel or to supply water to your pressure washer? What tye of battery is it running off and how are you charging it ?

Both.

It is 110 volt so I plug it straight into my generator.

Just FWI it is not enough GPM to provide a gas powered washed wi th enough water. Plenty for an electric though.

How many gpm is your pump, Will it rinse a car off ?

Check the link in my post but I think it is around 2.5 gal. More than enough to wash with. Do it all the time.

I own same pump (SHURflo Industrial Pump — 198 GPH, 115 Volt, 1/2in., Model# 2088-594-154 | Utility Pumps| Northern Tool + Equipment) bought from Northern Tool had to wire my self If I'm correct it is rated at 3.3 gpm and my gas pressure washer is rated at 2.3 gpm as my KARCHER (Amazon.com : Karcher K2.050 1400 PSI Electric Pressure Washer : Patio, Lawn & Garden) is rated around 1.3. Never used with my gas pressure washer (Black Max 2,800 PSI Gasoline Pressure Washer - Powered by Honda - Sam's Club) as it is self priming and can be feed straight from tank (35 gallon) Leg Style Storage Tank, 35 gal. - Tractor Supply Co.
 
Didn't see any unfo in the link. Are yall using marine batteries to pwer the pumps ?

Would a higher gpm be a better option? Are yall usng garden hose or an air hose on a reel?

Garden hose. As I said I plug it directly into my generator.

How did that setup work for you? I am looking into something similar.
 
The set up is working great , ican use it just as a water hose . Or I can hook up my electric pw if I need it . I do alot of rinsless washing so I really just need tge water to rinse off wheels.

That's great to hear. I like the idea of being able to power it without a Genny. Any pics of the setup? Thanks

That would be cool, I just got my tank delivered from northern tools and now Im researching the best options for plumbing and pumps and PWs and all. I'll be using it similar to you - mostly pre-rinse and wheels before doing rinseless washes. I like the idea of a battery too.

Any links to tools you got would be really cool too!
