Water Broom Worthless?

[bucket]

Recently bought a water broom for smaller projects, but it causes the pump to surge. It's only rated to about 3.5 gpm. Could pushing too much water volume cause this surge?

I'm running a B&S 16hp w/General ts2021 5 gpm - cold water.

I suggest you try bigger nozzles.

Bucket,

Are you kidding?

Your pump is trying to push 5.0 gpm through holes designed to handle 3.5. gpm.

It is surging because it can't push the water fast enough.

Are you doing this for income or are you just a homeowner?

The water broom is worthless!!

I bought this hunk of junk, I can sweep better and faster with a wand!!

Use a 40-degree nozle
