What is the output volume? Does the pump provide pressure, will the back pressure stop the pump? I am looking to make this spray a fluid.

I'm not sure of volume but pump motor maxed out at around 6~8 volts. It is a gear pump so it will build pressure, how much I don't know. Depends on what diameter orifice you using and distance you're trying to achieve. I used it as a water jet pump, similar to a toy water pistol. Hope this helps.

Hi: I bought the pump to use with an HO scale river lock on my layout. It seemed to work fine at first when I was testing things. I was able to pump about 1 quart every minute which was fine. When I put it all together the pump would work fine for a minute or so then stop or slow to just a trickle. New batteries did not help. I did not think of the back pressure and that could be my problem. I replaced it with a small pond pump. Good luck.Steve

Sorry, I don't have anything that I pump to that pressure. I go to 65 psi on the tires on my Jeep Wrangler sometimes and I don't notice a problem with it doing that job. Guess I could try pumping into my portable air tank, I always called them pig tanks, it is rated to 125 psi. Hadn't thought of trying that so thanks for triggering the idea. Will give it a whirl.

It does shut off when you stop spraying. Disregard the other comment that indicates that it stays on. It pretty much maintains a fairly consistent PSI that you can set. When you stop spraying, and start, there is a mildly larger burst of PSI than the usual steady flow. Nothing that I would consider a problem though. This thing is worth every penny. I highly recommend it!

No. But you can buy a simple adapter cheap. This is designed for high volume output. A hose will work but it will reduce the output significantly.

This is an air pump that aerates ponds like an aquarium pump on a large scale! It does not pump liquid! Well... actually, I don't know that; it just might, but it's not designed or intended to. Now that I'm sure you know that, it pumps 1700 cubic inches, or just about a cubic foot, per minute.

No, it only puts out 0.51 SCFM at 40 psi, so not enough volume for almost all spray guns (it would be ok for an airbrush). Look for a compressor that is specifically stated to work for painting (this one is for filling bike tires, running staple guns and low duty cycle nailers and such that have moderate to high pressure requirements, but have low CFM requirements).

30 to 50 PSI-max according to the material you are spraying . and a flow of 8.3 SCFM continuous or 4.3 average .Gun works well . I also purchased that seal maintenance kit

I don't know what volume of air you require, this doesn't put out very much but it will build to a pressure of about 130lbs. The compressor is designed to operate small finishing nailers and would also work great for airbrushing. The best thing about this compressor is it's quiet operation. It's an excellent small compressor. Thank you. Jerry

It is the permeate pump causing the noise, the motor makes noise and then you hear the pressurized flow run through the lines. I bought this unit because I thought I needed a permeate pump being on a well, and my water pressure is perfectly fine. It actually caused too much pressure and made my faucet leak which was the main reason for my return. I now have the exact unit without a permeate pump and I couldn't be happier. If your water pressure is around 60PSI I would return this and get the non permeate unit.

No. Your problem is that you have too much back-pressure, which in other words mean that the hose you are using is too small. There are two options here- 1. You can make a hole in the hose right where the hose connects to the power head. That would alleviate the back- pressure on the pump. (keep in mind that you will have water coming out of two different places on the hose, the tip of the hose and from the hole you made). 2. You can eliminate the hose- you don't have to use a hose, you can use the power head by itself.

In response to M. Hursh, it may be possible that it was not pumped enough to build up the pressure needed before the spray. It does require a few pumps before the top becomes stiff and it does not last long if it sits a while from my short time experience with this product.

The pressure is pretty good but it also has a lot to do with the pressure that is provided by the water utility company. The spray width isn't bad at all but you need to think about the size of the sprayer head.

I haven't used my pump, I doubt that it would put out enough pressure to go very far, I am just going to use it to fill a tank on a truck to water my garden during dry weather. Tony McQueen

All this does is pump a little water back into the pipe when needed. the pressure of the water going into the pipe is only slightly higher than the normal pipe pressure. Don't see how this could damage anything. I have had one for a little over a year and am happy with the results. The only recommendation I would have is to shock mount the little motor so it does not resonate on the wood or whatever it is mounted to in order to make it as quiet a possible. For the very short intervals that it is pumping, you may hear the pump but it is much quieter than the waste water was while it was going down my drain.

Yes. It pumps up to its pressure (i believe it is 50psi) then shuts off until the demand is created again.

There's a stop valve ;it a bit awkward too operate! You don't have to use it but ;then u loose 15-20psi,just add fews psi that's why mist people do anyways!

Not sure if you are looking for maximum input pressure or maximum output pressure, but I have 125 PSI going in and I can barely get 100 PSI going out. It still allows me to run all of my air tools and paint sprayers. Hope this helps.
