Ridgid air pressure
(Preview)
I see that the all flo pump has a max psi @ 120. On my ridgid compressor there is a regulator............should I have it set for 120 or less? Thank you in advance for your time. I also have a mini filter regulator attached. Same thing for that?

If you run a regulator to keep your delavan from starting and stopping all of the time…or even if you don’t……I would think that heat is your enemy …..right, Can you throw a bag of ice on top of you delavan to keep it cool……..maybe even install your pump in a cooler……..

Hey guys im on a budget, My question is. Should I get the 12v Delavan system and a trailer? OR. Should I get the All Flow with an air compressor set up and mount in the truck? Correct me if I am wrong ,but seem the 12v pumps do not last as long.

Hey guys last week I saw a lawn spraying company with a gas powered pump mounted on his tank and I got to thinking why we should use an All-Flo air powered pump. What are the advantages/disadvantages to using a particular style pump. Thanks. Eric

pumps
(Preview)
okay I just read for like two hrs on pumps. I have narrowed it down to the fatboy or the 5850. I have a budget to start out with so my question is should I go with the fat boy and no back up or go with two 5850. one as my main pump and one as a backup.

How long do Fatboys last?

I am curious about expected lifespan. I have had it stop suction on many occassions. It is fairly new (bought it in Oct 09) used it on about 12 roofs. I have a spare, just in case (just bought it today). I am tired of using a backpack sprayer to finish jobs!

This is a 3.5 GPM / 45 psi Max Shurflo. I currently have a 3/4" hose for the inlet and 5/8" of 200 feet for the outlet. I'm thinking if I went down to 150 feet of hose from 200 feet of hose that maybe I'd get an extra 10 feet....that would be terrific. Does anyone know if 50 ft really makes a differe...
