Jet wash question

Posted by Daniel Lampard on January 15, 2016 at 6:45pm in Machinery
Hi all,Last year I purchased a jetwash, whirlaway pathway cleaner and it's going well. I used to hire a 3000 psi one, mine is 2250 psi and is perfect. It suction fed, usually use a hose pipe into a bin. However I have a couple of jobs where I need to take water with me.I have a 1000 litre ibc which will sit in the van. I need to increase the length of the suction and the length of the jetwash hose. It currently is 10ft I believe.If I increase both, will it start to struggle, either the pump or pressure. It's 2250 psi, 150bar 12 litres per minute.Thanks

    The suction pipe needs to go 3 times as long to get up the ibcs and down again (unless I adapt it to fit in the outlet hole) and the jetwash hose another 10ft ideally

      It will probably be OK.&lt;br /&gt;<br />
      I suppose you will just have to try it!&lt;br /&gt;<br />
      Does the manufacturers website not have any maximum hose length numbers on it?&lt;br /&gt;<br />
      Maybe give them a ring and see what they say.&lt;br /&gt;<br />
      I run my pressure washer off 100m of hose sometimes it works fine but then i runoff mains water
