Rutland pumps built me gx390 with inter pump 21 lpm 220 bar, mine on a plate that's around the £1500 mark prob a bit more with elec start but defo worth it. Hoses are priced by the length but he's very competitive with the price
Just google Rutland pumps and his web with his number on, tell him what you want and he will give you a price, I will even send him your number and he can call you. If you want to that is,
Or there's his email address,
sales@rutlandpumps.co.ukI speak to him regular, he's been very helpful, bare in mind the only jet wash I had ever used before buying mine was a karcher from b&q so I didn't know anything about them.
So for me, it's great that I can call or email him, and he's right there back to me with answers.
Heres an email off him, when I first got in touch.
Hope it helps.
We can certainly put together a good package deal for you we do a package in competition with Slipstream (basically a better machine at a better price).
My first question to you would be to ask whether you would like a machine with a gearbox or direct drive. Whilst many claim that the gearbox is the only way to go, there are an equal number who set their store with direct drive. To be honest 10 years ago I would have said that a gearbox was absolutely necessary for the longevity of your machine. With the modern E3 series pumps I would not be quite so sure. There is an advantage to the gearbox but the price increase is usually around £150 to £200 depending on whether an RS99 or RS500 gearbox is used.
My second question would be based to an extent on the answer to the first. What sort of pressure would you be looking at for your machine. If you go direct drive you get a higher pressure and higher flow than with a gearbox unit as you loose 1.3HP to the gearbox.
If you are looking at 21Lpm you would get roughly 220Bar direct or 190Bar via a gearbox.
The next question is would you like a return to tank system or internal bypass / control set. the return to tank system is the best as it prevents water re-circulation within the head of the pump whilst the trigger is closed, this reduces the chance of the water being heated within the head which can cause seal damage if left for an extended period. The alternative does recirculate the water within the head of the machine but again this is becoming less of an issue with the newer pumps, this also negates the need for a return line.
Would you like quick release fittings on your hoses and lance or screw type couplings (M22).
What Hose length would you like? 10 / 15 / 20 / 30 metres.
Would you like a turbo (rotating nozzle)
Would you like your lance ends on quick release on a single lance / as different lances & triggers, so one for washing down / one with a turbo nozzle on. Or would you like a split lance - Single trigger with 350mm lance then a coupling to allow you to attach a 700mm lance extension with turbo nozzle or wash down jet. ( This is cheaper than having two complete lances and leaves you less likely to misplace a quick release jet if you had one lance with Q/R jet / nozzle)
Either way I would supply an Industrial MV2012 Trigger made in Italy.
What size whirl away would you like? 18 - 22 - 24 inch? All come on castors some sizes are available in stainless steel rather than polycarbonate.
There is also an IGX type engine in the 390 range which auto governs depending on load these save up to 30% on fuel costs. (Drops revs when trigger closed revs up when opened again, only revving to the demand of the pump whilst in use)
I hope that this isn’t too boring for you to read through I will give you a call tomorrow to see what you have come up with.
Many thanks
