<HTML>Well thanks for the bad news,
my pump took a dump yesterday...
new replacement pump $189.00...(devilbiss).
new pressure washer 530.00.
Needless to say I bought a new pressure washer today
2.7 gpm@3000psi
not great but when your on a budget like mine it will pass
hopefully for a year or two
thanks again,

<HTML>GENERAL PUMPS ARE YOUR BEST PUMPS TO DEAL WITH. CAT PUMPS ARE GREAT TO. HOWEVER WHEN A CAT PUMP GOES YOU ARE GOING TO NEED TO REFINANCE YOUR HOUSE. GENERAL PUMPS I WOULD STAY WITH, THEY ARE PRETTY EXPENSIVE TO BUY UP FRONT BUT THE WOULD LAST YOU ALONG TIME. WHEN THEY GO IT IS ABOUT 25-50% OF THE PRICE TO REBUILD IT FROM BOTTOM - UP AGAIN. CAT PUMPS ARE CLOSE TO 40 - 75%. PLUS THE GENERAL PUMPS ARE GREAT SUCKING THE WATER OUT OF A TANK, IT GIVES DEBBIE FROM DALLAS A RUN FOR HER MONEY</HTML>

<HTML>Thanks for the great tips guy's.
I have found (the hard way) that the devilbiss pumps
are not as good as I would have liked .
I have recently learned that Troy-Bilt (briggs & stratton 7.25 &sealed generac pump) pressure washers are also less than par for a mobile detailer (without some sort of pump).
An expensive lesson at $ 530.00.
Yesterday I went to find the pressure washers recomended
to me in another thread (I NEED MOBILE ADVICE ON WATER).
I looked at Home Depot for a pressure washer w/ either a cat or general pump,they had one w/ a cat pump so I called the manufacture they said none of the pumps now available at home depot were able to take water from a static source,including the cat pump.
Home depot also said they just changed all the models, possibily the reason.
Anyhow,to make a short story long I have an appointment w/Hotsy in the morning they are going to check my system out since
they are the pro's at it.
Well trying to do this within my budget is long gone, looks like another maxed out credit card.
Thanks for all the help, let you know how it all turns out
