aph111 14 Report post Posted January 31, 2005 I just purchased a Sprak 3500psi. --4.8gpm pressure washer.A little old but very nice machine for $300.00. The pump says it is a Sprak.I can't find any info online and was wondering if anyone knew of this brand and if replacement parts if ever needed was available?

Scott Stone 604 Report post Posted January 31, 2005 Do you have a picture? In all likelihood it is probably a rebadged General. There are a ton of other brands it could be. Sprak is a pretty old name. Scott Stone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tropical wave 22 Report post Posted January 31, 2005 www.airlessspraycenter.comThis company is out of california and they list sprak as a brand that they service and repair. You could probably start there. hope it helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newlook 265 Report post Posted January 31, 2005 Interesting link Mike as the location is right in our backyard. Unfortunately I did not see anything on the site that spoke in great detail about the pressure washer. I even did a search on the internet for sprak and did not get that very far.

Scott Stone 604 Report post Posted February 1, 2005 It looks like a Giant pump. The give away is the valve cap bolts. Generals are typically indented on the top. The trick would be finding the giant that has the same specifications as your machine, and I bet that you would have a ready source for your parts.

aph111 14 Report post Posted February 1, 2005 Well I found out Sprak was bought out by BE Pressure Supply Co. in Delray Beach FL.The parts manager there said all info on Sprak has been deleted and that there is no replacement parts.Oh well hopefully I will get alot of use out of it.

Scott Stone 604 Report post Posted February 2, 2005 There are still parts out there for giant pumps. As long as it is seals and valves, you will probably be able to use stuff from other manufacturers. Many of these parts are interchangeable.

aph111 14 Report post Posted February 2, 2005 Yea it would be nice if some basic parts interchange Scott.We do KEC and I have been buying under 3gpm machines.I run this the other day and was practicly running down the hood after applying chemical to wash down with 4.8 gpm.I can see filling up a recovery bin real fast...The 2 hot boxes I have heat to 200 deg no problem.Will changes need to be made on one for more gpm?

Scott Stone 604 Report post Posted February 2, 2005 If you are able to push water through it, and get the temp you need, there is no reason to make a change. Typically, they have 1/2" pipe so that there should not be any flow problems. Scott Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
