Delavan Fatboy

[Russ Spence]

Anybody use the electric units?
Seems like you'd have less problems?

I have not but I try to eliminate the amount of electricity I am around when it is wet

Nice thread, looks like a nice pump.

What do you folks feel the difference is in performance between the older model and this new one?

Looks like it will pump/perform exactly like the 5800 when you try to calibrate it for optimum gpm.

How does it hold up as far as batt usage against the 5800?

Looks like it can out work the Bobcat?

Scott, are you saying you like this better then the banditt?

 

[Russ Spence]

It is better because you get a true 5 to 6 gallons at 60 psi, not the inflated rating like the 5800 and you dont have to crank it up too high so that it over heats as well, we used it the other day to spray chems on a drivit buildinf and I guess we sent over 100 gallons of love thru it w/o problems

so far so good

So what does the Delevan put out?

 

[Russ Spence]

the 5800 will give you 3.5 @ 60 psi

the fatboy will give you around 5.5 @ 60

[Thad]

the 5800 will give you 3.5 @ 60 psi

the fatboy will give you around 5.5 @ 60

I want the 3.5 at 100-150.

 

[Chris Francis]

Thanks Russ I think I am with thad I will go with 5800 I donnot do many roof cleaning jobs

All I use is the delevan 110v setup. It works great.

Do you have it hooked up to an on board generator or power inverter? Or do you run extension cords? Is it as complex as needing switches/fuses and what not?
