Description
The General Pump FWS2-4040S is a premier industrial triplex pump designed for high-demand pressure washing systems. Combining a robust 4.0 GPM flow with a powerful 4000 PSI rating, this pump is engineered for heavy-duty commercial applications where reliability and “stripping power” are the top priorities.

Key Features
-
Low-Speed Performance: Operating at 1750 RPM allows the pump to run significantly cooler and quieter than high-speed pumps. This lower rotational speed dramatically reduces wear on the seals, bearings, and plungers.
-
Triplex Design: The three-plunger configuration provides a smooth, consistent water flow, minimizing the “pulsing” effect and reducing vibration throughout the entire pressure washing system.
-
24mm Solid Shaft: Optimized for belt-drive or gear-reduction setups, providing the flexibility needed for custom-built industrial skids or stationary pressure washing units.
-
Forged Brass Manifold: The heavy-duty head is built to handle constant 4000 PSI cycles without fatigue, ensuring long-term resistance to corrosion and high-pressure stress.
-
Solid Ceramic Plungers: Highly polished ceramic pistons offer extreme resistance to thermal shock and abrasion, protecting the high-pressure seals from premature failure.
Ideal Applications
This pump is specifically built for contractors and industrial users who require maximum cleaning efficiency:
-
Commercial Surface Cleaning: Ideal for powering large-diameter flat surface cleaners for parking garages and warehouses.
-
Industrial Degreasing: High pressure and flow make it perfect for cleaning heavy machinery, oil rigs, and construction equipment.
-
Masonry & Concrete Restoration: Easily removes paint, graffiti, and years of environmental buildup from hard surfaces.
