i have been reading up on this and i am very interested but i have one question will the hobbs pressure switch slowly add water the the amount of boost or is there something else that does that?

 

oh do u just put a T in the boost pressure guage line for the hobbs switch?

Thank's Loch & Wanna. I hope you dont mind but there is going to be a lot of questions befur this job is complete. I did see that pump in the northern master catalog they just sent me, but didnt realize that was not the full preassure.

 

I found the northern tool pump that wannadiesel specified at another source for a cheaper price, just thought i would pass it along,

Loch,
I could not find the pump that you had listed (145psi, 1.8gpm, $110), I was wondering your source for that pump?

I did find this,

Could this be the 220psi upgrade that Snow sells?

And my last question being, do you even need a higher pressure pump than the one that comes in the standard snow kit that wannadiesel specified? do you even have your pump pressure turned all the way up?

 

well the links didnt work and i dont have time to figure it out right now

on ebay, search for shurflo and the 1.8gpm 60psi pump is $48

there is also a 1.8gpm 100psi pump for $65, thats the second one that I was talking about in my previous post.

Call them , they can build a pump to your specs, and ask for Art

ihpower-- the boost switch can be put anywhere, i teed mine into the boost gauge, the switch is instant on, when active the water is wide open,

Wanna and i discussed this in another thread but i'll repeat it, most nozzles need a minimum of 60 psi to atomize the water, but remember the pump has to overcome your boost pressure as well. So if you have 30 psi of boost and need 60 psi for the nozzle you need a minimum of 90 psi pump pressure. And make sure your pump is a bypass not one has a electrical cutoff at a certain pressure, a 100 psi bypass starts bypassing at 100 psi, but may not be in full bypass till 140 or so.

Make sure what ever pump you choose can run dry without damage, hate to fry your pump first time you run out of water.

 

Hobbs switches are on or off. If you want smooth operation get Snow's controller. That was the main reason I plunked down the $$$ for the kit.

Any source of boost is fine for the Hobbs switch.

The pump I linked to is the pump in the Snow Stage II/220 psi upgrade kit. I do not have it turned up all the way. I have it turned up as far as I can without bogging the motor. I have no idea what kind of pressure that translates to.

 

Thanks Dave an Loch-for all the info! Parts are on there way!

 

Did you get the pump from northern?

 

No way-Ebay all the way!

 

was it the same one? or did you get a kit?

 

Ebay for the pump, cant beat $48 plus shipping

 

What about the rest of the stuff?

Hope it works out for you,
Michael

 

Bought most of the other stuff on Ebay from coolingmist! My kind of store!
