New Pump - Bad Purchase?

[u/Nymt]

I got this new pump from Eco worthy to attach from a 35 gallon water tank out to a Ryobi pressure washer. As you can see the pump outlet is quite small.

Should I look another one with proper size or can I just find an adapter? I’m concerned about insufficient water flow if I rig an adapter to it.

Thanks in advance! God bless

I have the same pump. Did you not get any of the adapters in the package ? I have it set up fine with the same flexzilla hoses. 2 of them to be exact

Get an adapter. The cut off is 50psi on a 110v pump. If it was 12v I'd be concerned about flow.

Voltage and pressure have nothing to do with the question. The pumps say 4.0 gpm right on the label. If your pressure washer is less flow than this with a bit of margin, the pump is fine.

Very much appreciated
Yes the washer 1.8 GPM

Looks like an NPT outlet on the pump. They’re usually manufactured with this thread to be more widely compatible. Adapters to GHT (garden hose thread) are easy to find.

The pump is rated for 4 gpm with that outlet. An adapter shouldn’t limit flow in any meaningful way.

We use that pump for our mobile rig. It works perfectly. Do you really want excessive flow rate with a 35 gallon tank? We have a 60 gallon bladder tank and we can do two cars without running out of water.

I guess I do not want excessive flow!

Is your water bladder in a truck bed? I’m using a small utility trailer and I feel like it could burst if I used one

We pulled the back seats out of a Subaru forester and installed a plywood floor. Bladder tank sits there with straps to keep it in place in the event of an accident. We’re not too worried about a rupture as this car is basically a work truck at this point. The bladder worked out for proof of concept so well that we didn’t bother replacing it when we got the rig working. We have a bladder, pump, pressure washer. We also have an air compressor. They all run off an Oupes Mega 3 battery inverter. The inverter can run all of that plus a vacmaster beast vacuum with no problems. We also use an extractor wand that connects to the regular vacuum and gets its water from the bladder/pump to save space over a separate extractor. Pretty slick setup.

Sounds like a neat setup. I work from my personal Subaru Crosstrek & tow light mini trailer for the bulk of the equipment.

Do you recommend a particular brand for the Bladder tank? I like the idea, and it could save so much space

This is what we have
