Ryko uses the Cat pump for the spinners on a Softgloss Max (I will have to look up the number). I somehow missed the second page of this thread. The ocillating sideblasters do work with the OHD or Radius high volume/low pressure High impact pump. http://youtu.be/bW5qMfjmx80
 
Both valves are on the same line but one doesn't have the same impact how is that possible? if two pumps we're shown side by side such as a cat pump vs a hi-impact pump at the same time that would look better in the video.

Rykopro, Do you happen to know the rating on the prewash pump on a Softgloss? I would guess it at 200 lbs or so. The spinners would be impressive at 350 lbs. Maybe I'll keep my eyes open for one that will get me 300-350 lbs of pressure. Like I said, it's adequate now but could be better.
 
Jim,

These pumps are for high volume and the GPM are determined by how tall the pump is (# of vanes) and the motor size. I thought the pressure was always around 350 and it is the GPM that increases with pump size but I would have to research the pump itself to figure it out. I will try tonight if I have time.
 
Just want to be sure that we are talking about the same pump. I'm talking about the pump that powers my prewash on the softgloss. To be honest I have never laid eyes on the pump. It's in that ss box in my equipment room. I don't think it's the same as on the ohd but then I don't know anything about the ohd.
 
We are washing a few cars today after 3 days of rain. Everything seems to be going pretty well. Timed my top wash at 5:30 today so I'm thinking I probably shaved off a minute. If we have a great winter I may keep my eyes open for a reasonable price on a pump that will crank 300-350 psi.
