Graham,
It's all about water volume/lpm. Good Pressure is needed but lpm is more important.
I read somewhere on here when I started out and still think its the best to explain.

Imagine at a mini hitting a wall at 30mph (30mph being your 3000psi and the size of the mini Being you volume of water, say 12lpm)
Now image an artic lorry hitting the same wall at 20mph (20mph being you 2000psi and the lorry being your volume of water, 30lpm)
You know which is going to do by far the most damage.

Hope this help

the kiam was 14 hp... for around 600 quid.

Thanks
There is a reason for that.

Well then how about an 11hp honda with an interpump 961? 600? new exhaust, new pistons, runs spot on. 2500 psi and 15 lpm, will out do that kiam all day

Total

The Rapier is a great machine. I work with a crew who have two but the 200 bar ones. An excellent bit of kit.

I think they run slightly better than the Hilta Yanmar, not too greedy on juice but that extra bit of flow over the Yanmar, plus 6 litres per minute.

170 bar is just a little bit low for me but may be more than adequate for your requirements, Is there a massive difference between the price of the 170 & 200 bar?
