Demand Operation – How It Works
The built-in pressure switch automatically stops the pump when outlets are closed and restarts it when flow is needed. This reduces noise during idle and extends pump life. Best suited to multi spray gun spot spraying, soft wash, and single or multi-outlet systems where flow demand varies.
Note: If using low flow applications, consider using a pressure control valve to ensure long pressure switch life.
