Durability and performance are the prime objectives of the
RRV Series pressure washer replacement pumps from Water Cannon. In fact, Water
Cannon is so confident in this series that CEO Richard Kurtz says they “will
surpass the original.”
“What we want to offer is a replacement pump that will hold
up to the life of the engine,” Kurtz says. “The package comes complete; there’s
virtually no labor involved. It’s been pretested and preset to pressure … they
have a volumetric efficiency rating of 93 percent.”
The RRV Series features a compact body design, sized for
direct drive on gasoline engines ranging from 270 cc to 440 cc, for medium- to
heavy-duty tasks. The replacement pump has a high-strength forged brass
manifold, new triplex ceramic plungers with a thicker wall to help prevent
thermal shock, stainless steel valves, side-mount valve seat O-rings,
high-quality high-pressure seals, two-piece piston guides, large side-cover
sight glass, rear-cover oil drain, and forged precision-ground crankshaft.
“It has oversized bearings; that’s key for long life,” Kurtz
says. “It has an aluminum crankcase, which helps dissipate heat. And that
allows the crankcase life to last as long as the engine.
“The low-pressure seal has a built-in scraper. It helps keep
the pump at high performance and keep it from losing water through the seal
system. … It’s very common at the beginning of a pump failure that it starts
dripping water out of the front seals. This pump really resists that.”
The pump is tested
for service life at a maximum performance of 4 gpm at 4,300 psi.
RRV Series pumps are fully rebuildable,
tested to over 2,000-hour life. This series fits 1-inch-keyway horizontal engines
and includes bolts, oil and vented dipstick.
“Another feature of this particular pump is it can be used
with the Hydro-Pulse valve, which allows you to convert a pressure washer pump
to a jetter pump,” Kurtz says. “And new for 2016, the connecting rod is
designed with 12 percent more load surface.
“It’s a high-quality replacement, so it would be much more
durable than a boxed package or something that would be sold mass-merchandised online,” Kurtz says. “Let’s say you were starting a new
job, and you knew you were going to put a pressure washer to use in hard labor
for four months, replacing the original pump may be a decision that’s looked at
before the job starts … (An RRV Series replacement) may be the last pressure
washer pump they ever buy.”
