Sureflo Help.....

[Pure-Pressure]

I have been reading a lot about the use of a Surflo set up. Does any one have any photos of how they have set theres up? I am planning on purchasing a 40 gallon tank and hook up a surflo pump. Is a 12 volt ok, or should I use a 110v. Also what type of hose do you use, simple garden hose with some type of pvc wand? If you could either post some photos or email the to me it would be apprecieated. I am having issues with my website so please use purepressure@windstream.net. Thanks!!!!!!!

I use a air hose from home depot that is 20 bucks for 100 ft it is bright orange. I think a 12v is easier no need for a generator. I use a pvc wand. You might want a bigger tank depending on what you are cleaning.

I am primarily going to use it for washing roofs. What size do you recommend?

75-100 For how expensive the tanks are I would only want to spend the money once.

ShurFlo's are obsolete, by todays standards. The Delevan 12 volt roof cleaning pumps are much better. The bigger the diameter of the hose and the shorter it is, the better.
3/8 hose will even work, but we find it is so small it catches under the shingles when pulled too often. 1/2 inch is better, 5/8 better still.

could I just run a 5/8 garden hose to the roof or am I just cheeping out?
