the_GUNN_man 14 Report post Posted October 5, 2005 I am currently using a Shur Flo pump mounted on a dolly with a 15 gallon tank. I use about 30' of hose. It is a 1.8 gpm 100 psi pump. How much hose can I put on that before I notice a big drop off in pressure and gpm? I was thinking about leaving it on the trailer but then I could need up to 150 to 200' of hose on some jobs to reach the back of homes. I would just think that would be too much. Am just curious what is the max hose people have used. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Don Phelps 85 Report post Posted October 5, 2005 We use 200 ft on roofs all the time. There is a small difference but nothing that really slows us down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mathew Johnson 123 Report post Posted October 5, 2005 I have a set-up on my trailer with 250 feet of X-jet hose on a reel that feeds my chems via Shur-flo to my nozzle... Works well.. Can soap a house in minutes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CCPC 26 Report post Posted October 5, 2005 I'm running 200' as well when cleaning roofs, and I see very little difference between that, and when I connect my shorter hose (75') for spraying driveways and what not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MMI Enterprises 289 Report post Posted October 29, 2005 For what its worth... I harvested a sureflow out of a carpet cleaning machine and mounted it directly on top of a 5 gal. bucket and only use about 20' of the clear hose hooked to a quik connect so I can use my main wand which has a dual tip on end of a single lance. I then use whatever length extension cord runnin off my generator or customers wall outlet.The dual tip on my single lance lets me pick how much chemical will go down. The high pressure tip helps put down less for carpet cleaning via the chemdry bonnet method inside a building but a big soap nozzle will soak concrete fast for pressure washing. I do not want a ton of chemical in the hose before I spray it. Just doesn't work for me with some chemicals and leads to waste. A bucket or two per storefront or section to be cleaned if I am doing bleach, degreaser, or acid. If I am doing something bigger and it needs more dilution I just downstream it. ~Kevin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
