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. wink

Probably better to go with 2 - 5850 pumps. Having a back-up is really important and some people say better to learn on. I use a 5850 and love it. Feeling comfortable with it and will probably upgrade to a Fatboy in the future.

I am using the 5850 with 5/8 hose.... It will shoot at least 35 feet. I will test it today to see how far and post the results. I am happy with the performance of it, at 5 Gallons per minute and the average amount needed to clean a roof at 40 gallons it won't take you long to empty your mix confuse 

I like your dog, I fixed the bottom of the collar then added some color biggrin 

<<TEST RESULTS >>
<<I was able to shoot 35 foot on a slight angle and 30 foot at a 45 + degree angle>>

Thanks.... If there is something I can do to help for free PM me.

I did my first spot treatment yesterday. The homeowner told me to write Bob was here on her roof when she called me on the phone but she was home watching so I just shot the corner of the garage wink

Hey Bob.
You gotta get out of the low rent districts you've been working in. No money there. Haha

If you are tight with money go with the 5850 and a backup.  I liked the pitch on that roof Bob Jr.
