Chris, my 1.5GPM Shurflo 150 psi pump is messing up again. Switch problems I think. Have you tried this pump from Pumptec? Looks good, very strong, but expensive. Is it worth it? Thanks for the post.

It is much, much faster. Very strong too. Draws a maximum of 14 amps. I have a 3/4 inch intake hose attached and the output is a 5/8 garden hose. I use an industrial garden hose gun and have a second gun rigged up with a quick connect on the end for attaching different size nozzles. I will take Chris Tucker's advice and buy another and either work them separately with help or run them together in tandem. Great PUMP, recommend highly!
Hey Mike, this is an OLD Thread, LOL
But, since I know you and the rest of the world has switched to the Delavan 5850 Pump at 5.3 GPM and 60 PSI, how IS it compared to Flojet ?

Much stronger, shoots farther and less flow loss.
