I have a briggs 6.5 hp pressure washer that I was wondering if I could convert it into a water pump to shiphon water from a river. I got the go ahead from the mayor to use river water to water grass and garden but now I need a pump to get it a few hundred feet from the river to my garden. Is there a way to convert my pressure washer into a pump the can siphon the water out for me and pump it to where I need. I'm not worried about it being high or low pressure, just want to know if i can do this.
I tried to do what shiggity said but the pressure washer requires pressurized water going into the inlet it does not siphon from the inlet on its own, i also tried to "prime" it by filling the hose with water before sumerging it into the river but still no luck.
Answer
Attach a pipe to the outlet of your pressure washer.
Add a hose to the end of the pipe.
The pipe is so that your hose won't get damaged by the pressure as it exits the nozzle.
Run a hose from the river to the water supply of your washer. Don't forget a filter.

If I connect 2 pressure washer pumps to a motor, will I get double the output????? help?

ok here is the situation, I have two 3000PSI pressure washer pumps, and a gas engine, If I took both and connected them to the motor, supplied enough water flow and used a coupler to join the output on both, will I get 6000psi of water pressure or will I end up creating back pressure and possibly damaging the pums, or will I get killed in the process.
I hope someone with an engeniering degree reads this, maybe I can get a valid answer. oh and forgive me for my spelling disaster here....he he he
Answer
Pressure does not add up like that. If both pumps put out 3000 psi then the pressure would be 3000 psi.
If there was a large difference in pressures between the two pumps, you could create some back pressure for the smaller pump, this pump would back up on its pump curve and its output gpm would go down. If it is to great a pressure difference for the pump, the pump could spin or even cavitate which then could cause problems.
But, you have one motor connecting to 2 washers, you might not even get 3000 psi since the horsepower from that motor is being shared since the motor is now seeing twice the load. Check what the motor HP is and what HP is required by each washer.
I think you are safe so far ;)
