0 acegot 14 Report post Posted January 11, 2009 It does state it has a General pump. Below is from link given. The potential for problems is always there. Have had friends with Landa, Hydro tech, Mi-t-M, Hotsy, Delco, That have all had name brand components fail at the most in-opertune times & have called me to borrow/rent one of mine or have me finish the job for them. Ive had an A/R pump die with only 60hrs on it. Had a Landa machine with the old school 16 hp IC twin & ts 2021 pump go for 4200 hrs before the engine gave out & the pump had the head kit done once when it would only produce 2500 psi instead of 3000. The pump dripped water externally for the last 3 yrs but performed great. You JUST never know.

0 FLEETWASHDUDE 14 Report post Posted January 11, 2009 Dang, that stinks. Still not a bad deal. Did it come with a battery? I was wondering how it would keep the amps up since the motor isnt elec. start. I have always doubted 12 volt units anyway. I've never had one but I've heard some horror stories. A lot harder to work on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Scott Stone 604 Report post Posted January 11, 2009 Thanks for admitting your mistake. I prefer to know that I have quality equipment, and the security of spending more for a machine, and knowing that it is going to start in two weeks, two months, and two years is worth the premium. I don't live in Georgia, so my customers expect me to present a professional image. I do my best to do that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Christopher 102 Report post Posted January 11, 2009 I have a Hotsy unit and Pressure Pro and they have been great. I would buy them again. I think it all comes down to personal preference and budget. _________________ Superior Power Washing Chris Chappell 361-853-2513 Exterior House Cleaning in Corpus Christi Texas Cleaning Concrete Driveways Sidewalks and Walkways in Corpus Christi Texas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I dont live in Arizona, so my customers expect me to have half a brain and not think just because something cost more means its better.
