How can some manufactures have a "200 to 300 advertised system" and then in the next post say that a 60W 150 PSI pump can only do upto 180 PSI with a VERY SMALL nozzle (M2) ?


I want to make it clear that the numbers that are posted are not correct for the majority of the 60W 150 PSI pumps on the market based on the testing that I have done. The numbers that are posted, IF they are correct are correct only for that that one manufacturer and not for all the 60W 150 PSI pumps.

For example, all of the ones I have tested, even the 60 PSI pumps from Northern Tool can do well over 300 PSI for a M5 (in by pass mode), while that chart below indicates 135 PSI.

M5 nozzle with 1/8 ID hose 135psi
M14 nozzle with 1/8 ID hose 105psi
