The sister of that pump has a bypass feature. No pressure switch. It runs until you shut it off at the switch.

 IF the pump is rated for continous duty, that actually is a better way to do it, and bypass back into the tank. Not only does it provide agitation for your mix, it also eliminates the pressure switch failures!

All you need is a pressure requlator/bypass, and you are good to go.

Its a 2.1 gpm i believe. With a # 20 tip you can get roughly 20'. We've cleaned fairly large roofs with these pumps. I'll tell you what, they far outlast the 5850's. A reputable nj company only uses these little pumps.

states "Pump can run indefinitely without damage"

has a fan which is what makes it possible?

also comes with remote control on/off biggrin

 

Im in the market for a low flow pump to compliment my pentaflex, this might do it

this is the bypass one I believe Chris spoke of...

http://www.pwmall.com/p-139844-5275651-fimco-diaphragm-pump-12-v-60-psi-21-gpm-bypass.aspx

"Run continuously unless electric current is turned off"

Good find Adam. The 3.8 pump is $25 cheaper than the Tractor Supply price.

I have the 2.1 mounted in the box truck. With a #20 tip you can clean roofs all day long. Obviously with less volume, but its great for lesser experienced crewman.

With the right tips you can get fair distance. It'll be pencil thin though. Measuring? Im not that guy. The tape measure is all the way over there.

Sounds good Ed. I'll have to cash in on that next road trip up to Rhode Island to see family up there.

The Fimco has a 2.1 gpm/60 psi with continuous run and the 3.8 gpm is only 45 psi with a pressure switch. The Delavan 5850 shoots 5.3 gpm at 60 psi. I like the Delavan but wish it would withstand punishment like the Fimco. Seems like it would take all day to shoot a roof and house wash with 2.1 gpm. Ray, are you running the 45 psi or the 60 psi? I'd ask what kind of distance your getting but I know that you are using a booster pump in-line with the other.
