John T 744 Report post Posted March 28, 2008 The surface machine will work fine with that Powerwasher just put larger GPM tips on the surface machine. For that 5gpm machine you would need two 2.5 tips at around 15 degrees on the surface machine for it to be operating at 5000psi which is to high for it. Maybe around 4.0 tips would work good with the surface machine so the PSI coming out of it will be around 3000psi(Just a guess- there is a chart that can give you a more accurate number). With those larger tips you obviously cant increase the GPM of the machine but since the orafice on those tips is bigger it will bring down the PSI... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
