Can you guys and ladies run gallons per minute bucket test on your  12v or air diaphragm pumps for us?

Use 1 or 2 five gallon buckets, your roof cleaning sraying equipment and a stop watch to find out how many gallons you are actaully pumping per minute.

Run the test a couple of times.  List the type of pump, the diameter of hose and number and size of any restrictions.  I am interested in seeing the acutal results.  Nozzles too? 

Thank you,

Lori

Lori, what exactly are you trying to determine? Seems like there are so many variables that it will be difficult to compare apples to apples?

Very interesting.  It looks like you have set up a rather efficient system.  Thank you very much for participating in the little experiment.  It helps me to see what kind of equipment really works for you guys.

Thank you,

Lori
