I have a 24inch stainless steel surface cleaner. I recently bought a high pressure T with three couplers and a short high pressure hose to join both of my machines together into one hose. I changed out my nozzles on the cleaner to three 3.5gpm nozzles. Totalling 10.5gpm @ 4000psi. The difference is huge!
10.5 @ 4000, that's good flow and pressure!
It is sick. Without the concrete cleaner, with a single wand and a 10gpm nozzle it damn near knocks you down!
The pressure I haven't measured exactly, my gauge busted on me. The machines I have are 20hp 5.5gpm @ 4000psi and 13hp 5.0gpm @ 4000psi. The 13hp doesn't quite push it at maximum. The pump requires a 13.7hp engine, so I'm bogging it down slightly. Probably runs around 3200psi. With both machines going into 200ft of 3/8 hose there is more pressure loss probably with 10.5 gallons going through it. I bet 1/2 hose would make a big difference.
My guess is I'm actually pushing 10.5 @ 3200psi.
Jeff, do you have a high pressure T ? You can join your machines together to make 11gpm or 8 + 5.6 = 13.6gpm.

A local plumbing store, or ask Paul or Bob if these are rated for high pressure.

Russ, what kind of machines are you running?
I was thinking of buying another concrete cleaner, now I don't need to.
Just join your machines together. Now I can clean twice as fast, eliminates the cost of more equipment and labor.
i thought about it but have not gotten one yet....you seem to really like yours

AL 607 on both.
What kind of engine are you pushing your 8gpm @3000?
You have any other machines?
