Yep!

Ed,

Im not talking about the air pump. This pump is just like the Fatboy, 12v and 7gpm. Its just supposed to be a much more durable pump, which would be amazing.

FloJets are known for durability Scott, way before there were 12 volt Delavans, FloJets ruled the 12 volt pump market. Does it have 1/2 inch intakes ?

Yea, I actually have 2 flojets that I use for transferring chems. The one I mainly use has fallen off the truck numerous times, even broken the fan blades, but still pump almost 100%.

Yes 1/2" intake/outake thank god.

Do you have a model number Scott ? I would like to look at it's specs.

 

Is yours the self priming up to 8 feet? The info I saw online has 3/4" intake! Is that for real? or a mistake?

here is some info, it does appear to have 3/4 inlets/outlets, and Glass Filled NYLON Heads, not good from a theoretical point of view The Chlorine and it's fumes will attack the fiberglass, and Nylon is a  BIG No No for Sodium Hypochlorite use, having a D Rating. However, this is only theory. The Nylon may be thick enough that the other parts of the pump will fail long before IT does. The proof will be in the using, as more reports come in about it's reliability, or lack of it. How much does it cost ? This info was emailed to me by Al Gigliotti, thank you AL !

I like the sound of that! Cant wait to hear more info

Good info Chris. Can you post the same info for the fatboy?

As for the nylon, I agree not the best choice. Howevrrvi loom at it like I do stainless steel or brass, you buy Chinese brand quality and they wont hold up near as well. Same with nylon.

As soon as I get this pump I'm gonna beat the crap out of it, and I don't rinse, ever. We'll see how it holds up compared to the fatboy.

Hey, the new Flojet Roof Cleaning Pump weighs TWICE as much as the Delavan
