If you have the coin,go Landa with an Udor pump. Also Hotsy is great as well. Hotsy 1290@5.6gpm or 1291@ 8 gpm. You can’t beat either. It also depends alot on what your PW @Okie5418 .

If you get a chance search some of the older threads. There’s lots of gold here! :slightly_smiling_face:

going to target concrete and building/home washing possibly if everything falls in place oilfield equipment washing as well

You definitely want 8gpm. Look into the Magnum by Nilfisk. I traded my hydrotek for it and I really like it. definitely check with Russ at Southside Equipment. if I could have a do over I would have bought from him as far as online buying goes.

Then your gonna want 8gpm @ 3500 psi hot water with a GX690 to cover all those tasks.

Lotta good machines out there…just look at a bunch and find one that has the features you want.

I will suggest that you get the 8gpm/3500 12V burner hotwater machine…I know that I love mine…it is a cleaning beast.
