im on a tight budget, and i need an air compressor and a pressure washer, but... it has to be (btw im using them to make snow!)
Air Compressor - electric or gas: rated for continuous use (not oil free) with a minimum output of 5.4CFM at 90PSI. (Minimum maintained operation pressure of 50psi)
recommended the SAH-5490AC 5.4 CFM Air Compressor.
Pressure Washer - any electric or gas: rated from 1.3GPM to 2.1GPM (more water equals more snow) with a pressure range of 1200psi to 2500psi.
what im meaning to ask is anybody know of these specefic items with those specs

I'm thinking you should be at your neighborhood Menard's, or Lowe's, or Home Depot or some industrial supply house, looking for these items. You'd probably have better luck than looking here.

Help, I have lost water pressure.?
Crazy coll
Today I had to bypass my water softener because its drain hose became disconnected and was draining into my house. When I fixed the problem and put the water softener back in series with the lines, I lost pressure. I have about a 30 gallon Tank Mate reservoir tank and my pump output pressure gage says 60 lbs. I don't know what the problem is, please help.
Right now I have it the water softener in bypass and the pressure has not gone back up.
I have checked the water pressure in every faucet in my house including the bath tubs, that have no aerators. The pressure is definately low. I am not sure how to locate the drain valve.

I feel fairly confident in saying that by turning the water off and then on again you have dislodged enough sediment to clog a screen or filter. The question is which one or maybe all of them.
Start at the various sinks and unscrew the aerater at the end. ...lots of little pieces to clean out. Shower heads can also be cleaned out.
If you have a whole house filter it should be before the water softener and should not be a problem. You might take this time to change it because you have had problems that it should help to avoid.
The water softener itself has filters. Normally these should be serviced once a year and they are cleaned out. Without knowing your particular brand it is difficult to suggest a plan of attack. If you have a service contract you might have them in for service. If you have a parts schematic you might be able to do the service. Paperwork may also describe how it is done. On line you might be able to get the same.
I have worked with a Q-tip and some alcohol for this operation.

OK since you don't seem to be having problems elsewhere:
The other possibility is a jammed gate valve. Gate valves have a habit of breaking. They can break closed, open or partially open. In my neighborhood gate valves were often the main valve that enters the house. I avoid touching them for this reason. A broken one is a real pain in the neck if it is the first valve for the incoming water.
Household valves come in a variety of flavors. The basics are:
1 ball valves which are the most modern with a handle, can have full flow when open usually 90 deg apart.
2 gate valves which have a gate that goes up and down but no washers, they tend to be a little taller than other valves.
3 globe valves have a washer and a seat, are one directional and were once very common valves. There is a very roughly "globe" shape at the bottem and an arrow on the outside.
After this it is mosly the outside that changes...
4. hose valves have washers and a hose connection
5. boiler valves with big washer and a union attached...
and many others.
Connections can be compression, threaded, glued or sweat.
Try to work back to a position in the lines where the pressure is OK. This is hard to suggest without seeing your system. If you are not able to deal with this you will have to get a plumber to help.
