You should never use a reservoir tank as a water source. This pressure washer is designed for a pressurized water source such as a city water faucet.

answer 2
The book that comes with it does say that you can not hook it directly up to a tank. You would need a pump to supply I think it was a minimum of 6GPM.

answer 2
It will keep up just fine as long as there is fuel in it. Be sure to shut off the heat and run cold water through when done. This will help the heating coil last.

answer 2
You could theoretically change nozzle size, or if you need less pressure with less GPM, you could throttle back a bit on the engine. However, don't go down much on nozzle size or you will wreck the relief valve. Best to just cut back on engine throttle a bit. You have a large surplus of power and pressure here. I run mine less than max all the time.

While it is possible to use the surface cleaner (Item # 157627) with this pressure washer, it is critical to the integrity of the surface cleaner and the safety of the operator that the water temperature does not exceed 150 degrees F. This pressure washer has adjustable temp settings, however, it is capable of producing water temperatures of 250 degrees F. Northern Tool and Equipment does not recommend or condone the used of any of of our products beyond the manufactures recommended parameters.

This unit is a great choice for removing ice dams. The pressure that this machine puts out could be reduced to as little as 60 psi by using a low pressure nozzle, or no nozzle at all in the spray wand.
