The “(6)” indicates this is a bulk/case pack of six individual pumps.

Technical Specifications

Key Features

• Automatic Demand Switch: The pump is equipped with a pressure switch factory-set to 60 PSI. It automatically shuts off when the discharge is closed and restarts when the trigger is pulled, making it ideal for handheld sprayers.

• Chemical Versatility: With EPDM valves and a Santoprene diaphragm, this pump is “Roundup Ready” and highly resistant to many water-based herbicides, fertilizers, and detergents.

• Self-Priming Capability: It can prime itself up to a vertical lift of 8 feet (2.4m), allowing you to mount the pump on top of a tank or vehicle frame without losing suction.

• Reliability: The 8000 series features a unique conical valve design that allows for higher flow rates at increased discharge pressures compared to standard flat-valve pumps.

Ideal Applications

• Agricultural Spot Spraying: Perfect for ATV, UTV, or tractor-mounted sprayers used for fence lines and invasive weed control.

• RV & Marine Washdown: Strong enough to act as a reliable water delivery pump for rinsing decks or supplying water to fixtures.

• Soft Washing: A popular choice for light-duty “soft wash” applications where a lower pressure (60 PSI) is desired to avoid damaging delicate surfaces while applying cleaning solutions.

• Dust Suppression: Often used on small construction equipment or sweepers for localized water misting.
