Would like to know the maximum "Cleaning Pressure and GPM" using the standard sm12802 2-jet wand with both the 1001dx-200 and the 1003dx models. I understand the NO-FLOW condition at 250psig and 500psig respectively. Why the do the "spec's" rate the pumps at no flow conditions? makes no sense... if there is no data for this request, then what does the pressure gauge read for both models? Thanks Don.

the average drop in pressure is 40 to 50% with dual 02 jets. You can also opt for dual 1.5 or 01 jets. Dual 01 jet only have a 15% drop in pressure.

Thanks Don, Do the orifice numbers have any relationship to GPM at a certain pressure?
Again, Thanks

As you make the holes in the jets smaller, the GPM goes down and the cleaning pressure goes up. an 015 tip is 25% smaller than the 02 and the 01 tips are 50% smaller than the 02 tips.

So are the 03 jets are twice the size of an 02 jet?

50% larger, not 100% larger
