Petrol volume washer

[JJT]

Hi all, am wanting a volume washer to mount on our water bowser. Will be used for washing down cattle race/pens and sheep pens, also be handy for when washing out sheds in spring. What sort of pressure and flow would be needed? Would this or this be man enough? Have a couple if good pressure washers for a good deep clean, but wanted some thing to just quickly hose down the pens after each use.

Thanks for any advice,

Joe.

I’d have thought any water pump 1.5” to 2” with high lpm but I doubt you’d want to drag a 2” water filled hose about. Can pick up a cheap one of eBay as proof of concept first maybe?

I have got a Honda 2 inch pump for washing the yard and sheds down , I have stepped the outlet down to 1 inch pipe with a 3/4 nozzle on the end , does a good job and has good pressure

I just use slurry tanker and a local water source

Do you know what flow and pressure it is? Or what model? Thanks.

I’ve an Efco 2” water pump and that’s rated to 800L/ min can soon fill the 600L compact tractor sprayer

I Have a cheap Clarke petrol water pump, and I have attached a volume washer hose and nozzle on before, it works well, but does use a hell of a lot of water.

I put a 25mm hose on and that was perfectly adequate, but don't drop the hose! I have a 2" lay flat and you might struggle to get rid that amount of water quickly if you are washing out anything.

As per your second link, I have a little WX15 Honda with the 100cc OHV engine and 1.5” pump. It’s great and will easily give you enough pressure for a volume washer. I paid £395+VAT from Lings in Norfolk.

Mine took ages to arrive though, as Honda had a problem with engines coming from Thailand at the time, so it took nearly 3 months to get stock in the country. That was summer - so should have thought they would have plenty of them kicking about now.
