I've only been cleaning roofs and pressure washing for about 8 months. I started with the all flo because Chris uses air. I got my entire set up from Lori at PWP. I've seen Chris post this link before also ://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/c-1282-versa-matic-pumps.aspx . Since you have everything else, all you need is the pump and the air compressor. I run my set up weekly either on a roof or a house wash, no problems yet. Sometimes the all flo stalls, like it looses prime. but you can get it going again pretty quick. I got my air compressor from a pawn shop. Paid $500. but it was a mitm and it was like new. You can also use the one from harbour freight. I don't usually post to much because of lack of experience compared to the other guys here, but my system has been working fine and I do understand how pumps and friction loss and pressures work.

Or would you suggest a different 1/2 pump? This one is about $300.00 and 1/2" he already has 1/2" Kuritec hose.

Thanks KSROOFS and BLUESTREAM.

I have the 3/8 all flo with the 1/2 Kuritec. My 3/8 was about $300.00, so a 1/2 for that price sounds like a great deal. Never used a different pump myself. But with the air pump you can flow as much or as little as you want. so size only matters if you want more flow. I get plenty with my 3/8. But, Chris should be posting here soon, Im sure he will lead you the right way.

Thanks for the reply! Do you know how many gallons per minute and what psi your 3/8 pump is putting out?

Also, what do you have for an air compressor? My son has a gas, 6.5 HP Air Delivery SCFM @ 40PSI 11.1 Maximum Pressure (psi) 115
Air Delivery SCFM @ 90PSI 9.1 Portable 
Application Use: Brad Nailing/Stapling,Finish Nailing,Framing Nailing,Grinding,HVLP Painting,Inflation,Roof Nailing.
Got any advice on what air pump to buy to use with this compressor?

I am really out of my game with these air units! Always used 12 volt pumps from day 1.

Dave,

 

I couldn't find a picture of a Tampa truck flowing water, but here is one of ours doing nothing. LOL  http://firepix21.smugmug.com/Florida/Hillsborough/Tampa-Fire-Rescue/i-PMZNwV6/3/L/Tampa%20T1%20%5B1280x768%5D-L.jpg
