Hose legth

[Lloyd660]

I Have 3500psi, 5 gpm machine with 150' hose. My question is does this affect the psi at the gun end?

Not enough for it to make a difference. Theoretically yes there is pressure loss over length of hose, I think you would need a whole lot more hose to notice any "seat of your pants" pressure loss. i have a pressure/temp dial guage i hook up right at the swivel before the gun to test pressure, with 200' of hose I think I am at 3300 PSI

Hose length

Thanks. Just talked with hydro-tech and Landa distributor. I wanted to see if hose legth, nozzle size etc. would make difference on speed of surface cleaning. Right now I'm running 28" hydro twister with two 1503 tips. Seems a little slow. Looks like I will drop to 1525 nozzle.

It has more to do with your GPM. I bet your machine is 5.5 GPM, Let me know how those nozzles work out, I have thought my surface cleaner should be faster as well, I hade to bump to 1503's as it came factory with 1502's..with the flow unloader it would spin up then die, the 03 nozlles ket it running but I think it is slow, of coarse it rocked on the first job and wasted the wand all to hell but I think it should be a little faster.
