    on-demand pump?

    Hello everyone , I am looking into making an on-demand pump set up for my mobile unit . I am wondering if the gpm matter or not, also what psi should I look at? I will be using this setup for rinsing wheels and some washing also .

    Both.

    It is 110 volt so I plug it straight into my generator.

    Just FWI it is not enough GPM to provide a gas powered washed wi th enough water. Plenty for an electric though.

    Check the link in my post but I think it is around 2.5 gal. More than enough to wash with. Do it all the time.

    Re: on-demand pump?

    I own same pump (SHURflo Industrial Pump — 198 GPH, 115 Volt, 1/2in., Model# 2088-594-154 | Utility Pumps| Northern Tool + Equipment) bought from Northern Tool had to wire my self If I'm correct it is rated at 3.3 gpm and my gas pressure washer is rated at 2.3 gpm as my KARCHER (Amazon.com : Karcher K2.050 1400 PSI Electric Pressure Washer : Patio, Lawn & Garden) is rated around 1.3. Never used with my gas pressure washer (Black Max 2,800 PSI Gasoline Pressure Washer - Powered by Honda - Sam's Club) as it is self priming and can be feed straight from tank (35 gallon) Leg Style Storage Tank, 35 gal. - Tractor Supply Co.
