I have only found linmited threads discussing this topic. If you were doing residential work and trying to break into the commercial market, do you think the HOME DEPOT 4gpm 4000 psi unit is fast enough? I am concerned about two things 1) Since this unit is direct drive and I pull water from a tank, will I burn out the unit in a short period of time? 2) If I am trying to get more commerical work ( once I have a hot box) is 4 gpm competitive enough? What do pw contratcors who do commericla work use? Thanks in advance
