the pump would reach full capacity quicker, that's about it. probably a 1/2
second or so.

My gas pressure washer manual states that I must have a water source that

Is there any advantages in terms of the effectiveness of the pressure
washer
if I use a 3/4" hose to deliver the water to the pressure washer? ( I
read
somewhere that you can move 60% more water through a 3/4" than through a
5/8".)

Thank you,

It's only going to use as much water as it can pump. If that goal is
reached with a 5/8 hose then no there is no advantage of using a 3/4 hose.
