Hey Wiz,
I have another question that is the exact opposite of the last question I posted concerning Hp. I have a Landa PGHW 16hp Vangaurd hot water PW thats rated at 3000psi at 4.8 gal/min. with a 2500watt generator that is one year old and I just purchased a 10 year old Landa SGHW hot water PW that is rated at 3000psi at 5.2 gal a minute with a 2000watt generator. On this machine is a new heater coil with a new wrap to it. Also the pump looks fairly new. This PW has a blown 24hp onen engine and I would like to replace it with an 18hp Honda engine which I have. The question I'm aiming at here is my one Landa has a 16hp engine and it produces similiar #'s with the difference being a slight decrease in gal/min(4.8 compared to 5.2)Why do you suppose the older Landa had such a big engine and can this conversion to 18hp be done with no damaging effects?
I spoke to 2 guys in my area about this and they had slightly different answers. One guy said this can be done but just lower the psi slightly where the other guy said that this machine basically needs 18.2hp so an 18 hp should be enough to do the conversion with no side effects.
Your input along with anyone else here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks-John-
