Well I personnel have used the yamada for a few years but just got the G57 Flo Jet air pump from pressuretek, just started using it. I put a post about it a few days back, so far so good, 10 gpm pump, only needing 2-4.7 cfm for operation and the air psi is 20-100 psi. It pumps like a champ and is only 211.00. I can not speak for durability from experience because i just got it. One guy posted on my thread he has been using his for a month and no problems. Good luck on your choices, I will post reviews and pictures once I get it redone and put in a metal cargo box to protect it better plus I will have a back up just in case inside.
Air pumps will "work" with just about any CFM of air, but that don't mean they will acheive full flow! Better look at the air requirements again on that FloJet, to be sure the rated 10 gpm flow is acheived. I don't think it will be at only 2 to 4 CFM air.
Well here is the chart for it, I ran it and I would have to say it shoots further than the yamada did at 80 psi range, now it is 2-4.7 cfm, the yamada needed 11.7 and I was a little under that since my aircompressor is only 9.0 to 10.0 cfm range. I am impressed with the Flo-Jet but I just got it and still need to see how it performs long term but so far I am impressed with its performance.
I bought a fat boy pump and a 5850 pump. the 5850 pump went out on me in a month, but the fat boy pump wow it is great and still working, this pump has really paid for itself. I plan on getting another if not two. I get about 30 plus ft of spray and thats all I need for the jobs I am doing.
Travis Im using a 5850 w/ 3GPM and 45 psi with out any extra air. Seems to have a lot of pressure. I can reach out 25-30' with no problem. Most of my stuff is sht from the gutter line anyway So far things are fine with it. bought it about a month or so ago at Tractor Supply. It was the tail end of the season for me so I went the econo route just to get my feet wet. I plan to upgrade in the spring. AC has a new line of stuff also, you may want to check in to that as well. Hope this helps!
