I doubt if you will have a problem. First the numbers listed are
usually .... shall we say optimistic. Second the power washer will
be able to "pull" some additional water than the water flow you
measured. In theory it can pull a 32 foot column of water before it
quits, in practice it is less, but still significant.


I understand your point, but most of the ones with high GPM are fairly
expensive with quality pumps, so I'd tend to accept their numbers
more. Did not know about "pulling" water though. What does a 32 foot
column of water mean exactly?
