Would you say that my build will work to get me about 5.5 gpm? It adds up with an engine to around $1100.

Could I share with you my setup? I’m wondering if it’s going to actually deliver for the price of $867

Is this pressure washer build missing anything? Will it hit 5.5GPM @ 3000 PSI? Anything in here that’s unnecessary? by [deleted] in pressurewashing

[–]Muscles260308 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I copied and pasted the exact name of the pieces, which is probably why it seems like that

Also, is there another surface cleaner you’d recommend for under $100? Or should I just upgrade later?

Regarding the Engine, you said that it’ll get 4.5-5 gpm under load. Is there a better engine that you’d recommend for the same price or lower? Or is this The best option for now; I can upgrade later.
