Please don’t misinform/confuse people here, don’t know where you got that but, size 3 nozzle gives you 1750 psi @ 1.98 gpm closest to 2gpm, that, x 2 for 2 nozzles gives you 3.96 gpm again closest to 4gpm.
Size 2.5 will give you that 2500psi @ exactly the same 1.98gpm per nozzle, even more now that, all that, you could have read in Newbie Questions category alone, which only has 184 topics.
Plus,:slight_smile: now, minus the pressure drop from the hose length which is:
@ 4 GPM you are going to get roughly 90psi drop per 100 feet of hose with 3/8 hose that is.

Shazam… that’s good.

Coulda been a typo, but that paragraph is enough to teach folks about nozzle size.

I read on here the recommended surface cleaner size is 4 inches per gpm. So, I would assume you would need a 16" surface cleaner. However, I have a 4500psi/4gpm machine and use an 18" surface cleaner that works just beautifully. I haven’t tried anything larger but if a 24" works for you with the correct nozzle sizing that’s awesome! I’d love to cut a swath that large. But do you sacrifice speed with a surface cleaner that’s too large for your machine?

Bingo. You’ll actually clean faster with a 16".
