    I got a job coming up with 287 sqm with low mains pressure so i'm supplying 6x60L buckets spaced around the house for the customer to fill day before,that way i'll use the suction hose in buckets with hose mains pressure to keep me moving on the job bucket to bucket
    Constant pump pressure is 3500psi

    If i run low if water in my 3litre tank the engine stops so i don't burn the pump out

    When you finished drain all water from the pump manually then run some brand of lubricant to stop the pump developing problems while sitting.It happened to my brother in law. Stored as it was and a few months later the pump was seized.
