without any conversion - SHURFLO 150 PSI INDUCTION PUMP.
with some conversion/modification - 500 PSI or probably even bigger.

Prochem have a 220psi  on-demand pump on their website.
Fitted it myself - easy swap for the original 150psi pump.  Doesn't need to re-circulate when you're not spraying as the pump switches off and on as needed.  So less plumbing as well.

Cheers. I have the 150 which is fine in general but when i run extra hoses it just seems too weak.

If you run extra hoses then if the pump seems weak then I bet you the vacuum recovery will seem weak too...........then you are in a place that you don't want to be.

these things have been designed for a reason. if they sell same type machine but upgrade then you are safe to use whatever is in that model. if not then you will upset the balance of vac and pump.

is your having issues flushing away you might be better looking at your detergents or trying new method.

Good luck
