If this has been asked and answered a thousand times, please forgive me.

Occasionally I would like to be able to spray something with more pressure than I can get out of a "hand-pump sprayer" or a 12v shower gadget.   

I would like to get the kind of pressure I can get out of a garden hose .  I've thought about something like the following well pump that I found on Amazon:

  • Voltage:12V Power:120W Capacity:26.4US.GPM Max Head:26ft Caliber:25mm(1")

I do realize that this could be a waste of a lot of water, and I probably  would rarely use it.  Mostly for cleaning / rinsing things that are hard to clean, and a place with a self-service car wash is just a long way away.  


Any feedback on this as possible, impractical, great idea, really stupid?

Thanks,

Pat

You might want to also check West Marine or Ebay for a boat deck wash-down pump. More pressure and volume than a standard faucet/bath water pump.

Just my opinion . . .

Opinions are what I'm asking for, Speed.   :D

Those look very interesting!  Thanks!
 
Pat, I keep telling you that soap is the answer, lol

I have a 12v pump from Harbor Freight that is 300 gph. Cost $40 or so.

read this too quickly as "paint off your Hide" ouch!
 
HDR, I might not mind taking the paint off.  I've realized over the last few months having a GREEN trailer is not the best idea I've come up with.  So far, I've got the only green trailer out there.  If I want to be anonymous and go incognito, I can't.  Forest Service Rangers , for example, notice it.  Since I like to camp by myself, there are places I can go where, for some reason, there are folks who think they might want to hang with me.  
:D I really don't understand why.  I'm a mean-spirited curmudgeon, with few positive personal qualities.  As Jim ( I really mean Max) pointed out, I don't use enough soap!  

I might have to accept your challenge and see if it WILL take the paint off. 


hahahahahah

no need to take the paint off just rough it up and repaint it. highdesertranger

Mine is a earlier model and so far I have not needed it yet.
