SoftWash Systems is including this pump on all of our equipment. Instead of equipping our systems with a lesser quality and lesser power pump to keep costs down we are just putting the best on from the start. This pump will shoot a stream up to 60 feet with # 30 and #40 0 degree tips easily. We shot one in Dallas at the round table and took out a measuring tape to confirm that. I have several guys out there using them and giving me feedback. All positive so far.
Thanks Sully for bringing it up!

I received my Pentaflex, hooked it up, tried all my nozzles and seemed to work great. Then it started acting up. When I would turn off the ball valve and go to turn it back on again I got nothing. After a minute or so it started working again, turned the ball valve off and went to turn it back on again and nothing. Any suggestions? It came pre-wired by Bob at PT so I tried bypassing his wiring and still got the same results. When the pump turns on it works great (maybe shoots a little past the Fat Boy, I measured 50' with 40 zero tip.
Got it working good now! I had to disconnect the pre-wiring completely, there must be a loose connection or short somewhere. I hooked it up to my existing wiring and works awesome. I tried adjusting the pressure switch but still can only get 50' (that's plenty for what I need).
Mike Sullivan- Do you have the accumulator tank hooked to yours. I had someone tell me Bob recommends using it on these pumps. It doesn't seem to need it like my Fat Boy does when I drop down in nozzle size.
Mine worked for a couple jobs and now nothing. Didn't have time yet to troubleshoot it, but it started with not being able to prime itself then it shut down completely.
