Expensive but its self priming, 10 year warranty on the manifold, service center is local, and it doesn't require a return line because its engineered in such a way that it won't overheat. You can leave it running for an hour and do zero damage to the unit. Id suggest getting one
    (NEW POST) = MOBILE SET UPS (pressure washer & water tank)
    I'm considering buying a small KRANZLE electric pressure washer (K-1622 model).
    cannot seem to find any videos of units (electric) hook up to a water tank pulling water.
    if any forum members can upload video(s) how they connect units (pressure washer) gas and/or electric to water tank solely and post a video I believe it would be a big help to other members

    Re: Buying a Water Tank, do I need a water pump along with my gas Pressure Waher?

    I looked it up and it's self-priming. If you're able to keep your holding tank slightly above the pressure washer then you won't need a pump. To purge air from the line, look into putting a splitter at the end of the water feed line as it connects to the pump. Open to let air escape and fill the hose with water.

    Just my .02

    Re: Buying a Water Tank, do I need a water pump along with my gas Pressure Waher?

    Would this be worth using mobile without an ON DEMAND PUMP, and could it be removed from cart and bolted to a platform, NorthStar Gas Cold Water Pressure Washer — 3000 PSI, 2.5 GPM, Honda Engine, Model# 15781720 | Gas-Cold Water Pressure Washers| Northern Tool + Equipment
    and how could you connect for setup for recirculation to not have to keep turning off and on pulling cord

    Re: Buying a Water Tank, do I need a water pump along with my gas Pressure Waher?

    I currently dont use a pump with my 65 gal tank. Works flawlessly, and flows the needed 2.5 gpm needed. However, this tank is in the back of an escalade and the p.w. sits on the ground with a large hose.

    Water return: more info i know nothing about that?
