I have never used the accumulator as I feel it slows the distance output. A buddy of mine decided to take his accumulator off from his 7 gpm fat boy pump and has had better results ever since taking it off.

This is good to know. If they have more PSI will it shoot further? I am currently in the market but want a little more distance. The 5.5gpm ever flow is still 60 psi. If so do you have a recommendation to a higher psi 12v bleach pump.

Hey Coty quick question so I’m batch mixing with my 12v I have 200’ of 5/8” flexzilla I just purchased your 12v shooter tip I wasn’t getting the distance I thought. I have 3/4” suction hose with a drop stick to 3/4” inlet to the hose reel, is that 3/4” to big to then drop down to the 5/8” flexzilla maybe try 1/2” suction? I’m getting 30’ thought I would have gotten a little more.
@wazim65605 жыл бұрын
Hi Cody, I’m using the 2.2gpm pump which has 3/8 inlet and outlet. Do you think the pump would work efficiently if there was three 1/4 hoses going to one 3/8 hose then into the inlet?

Cool video man. I got a question that you might know the answer to. So basically, If I made a wand like you have there, but instead of like a 1ft of Schedule 80 tubing, Do you think if I made it 10ft long it would still work? I'm thinking (and I have no idea if it'll work) if I made the extended tubing it would help me reach area's in which I couldn't reach with just the stream and it would help me not get a ladder out. What are your thoughts on that. Thanks

@@ezlimo9454 Mine has been going strong for more than 2 years. Only thing I've had to do is replace the solenoid on the pump after 2 years. After replacing the solenoid the pump runs like a new one. The solenoid is the one part that's prone to failure. You'll know it's going bad if the pump runs for few seconds and quits, or sometimes runs when you squeeze the nozzle and sometimes doesn't as if there's a short in the connection.
