ALL-FLO 1/4" AIR DIAPHRAGM SOFTWASH FLEETWASH PUMP 5.7 GPM
Pressure Washer Products is proud to offer the All-Flo 1/4" Kynar air diaphragm pump assembled in the United States of America for PWP for use specifically with soft wash chemicals. This is a great pump for those who need to pre-treat and post-treat. This is the only pump on the market that will allow the operator to fully control the flow by using any nozzle size suitable for the job. The fleet washer, soft washer, chemical applicator, or roof washer can choose to use any nozzle orifice of 1.0 to wide open at 90 in. We recommend orifices from 5-12 in spray patterns ranging from 0 to 25 or sometimes 40 for best results.
Viton diaphragms are not the best choice because of the following reasons according to all-flow: Santoprene and other thermal plastic elastomers (TPE) will have a very long flex life due to the nature of the material. This is especially apparent when comparing them to form and PTFE diaphragms, which tend to have a low flex life. When selecting a diaphragm, chemical compatibility and the natural flex life should be considered. In most cases, a “B” rating Santoprene or another type will outlast an “A” rated km (Viton) or PTFE diaphragm. This is because both the “A” and “B” rated diaphragms will normally fail due to their natural flex life before they experience chemical issues. PTFE should predominantly be used when a type is not chemically compatible with the process fluid, and FKM (Viton) is traditionally used for high-temperature applications that go above the other materials' maximum temperature limits. In short, Santoprene has a high flex life, and (Viton) has a very low flex life with flex life being its weakness.
Most users pair this 5.7 GPM 'Cadillac of AODD pumps' with 200' of 3/8" or 1/2" ID chemical hose, a 1/2" PVC ball valve or chlorine gun, a 4312s full frame Titan hose reel, a tribanger, and three nozzles.
PWP recommends adding SLO-MO 'Original' soft wash surfactant to your recipe to save time and money. When SLO-MO is added to your recipe, it 'grabs on' to the chemical and helps to work it into the vertical or horizontal surface. Some say that their mix is stronger. However, nothing can increase the strength of sodium hypochlorite. Sodium hypochlorite can only be made more effective by the addition of an excellent, biodegradable surfactant. Every SLO-MO user reports using fewer chemicals by making fewer passes and losing fewer chemicals to run off.

The main advantages of using an All-Flo air diaphragm pump for soft washing, roof washing, chemical application, and transferring chemicals to your trailer or truck rig are listed as follows:
The All-Flo 1/4" Kynar air diaphragm pump is designed to handle the needs of soft washer chemicals.
The 1/4" All-Flopump is a perfect choice for residential and heavy-use commercial cleaning chemical applications as it allows the operator to control the flow to prevent run-off, over or under-saturation, prevent plant kills or damage to delicate surfaces as well as saving money on the wasted chemical.
The All-Flo air-operated dual diaphragm pump is offered with a 5-year warranty.
The operator can use a pump to clean and transfer chemicals to the truck or trailer rig instead of hand pumping or purchasing another pump to do the job.
The operator can use any applicator such as a 1/2" PVC ball valve, garden hose spray nozzle, or pressure washer gun connected to a minimum 200' of 3/8" or 1/2" ID chemical hose to apply the chemical.
All-Flopump owners must use the correct regulator/filter (afrs) to protect the pump. Install the regulator per the directions included with the packaging. The arrow on the regulator must point to the pump or the regulator will release air. Drain and clean the filter daily. Using the filter/regulator and gauge will prevent over-pressurization of the pump when set to 80-85 psi. The filter should be cleaned daily. It can be installed anywhere on the air hose leading to the pump but better if installed closer to the compressor.
Install a water separator between the regulator and the pump using a hex nipple or another length of air hose. Purchase the water separator (motor guard m-26 or m-45 online anywhere)
We recommend installing one of our custom lengths of air hose (ha04-12) on your compressor and threading the other end into one of the open ports of the filter/regulator.
***Must drain the bottom ports on the compressor tanks daily***
We recommend using 3/8" or 1/2" ID chemical hose available in custom lengths of yellow Spiralite ag hose (agy08-200.8s) and our blue, red, or yellow flex tech rt or blue or red kuri tec lightweight chemical hose. The spiralite, flex tech rt and kuri tec are *a* rated* for use will all soft wash chemicals. The most common length is a continuous 200' piece with crimped-on hose barbs in brass or 316 stainless steel using one of our hydraulic crimpers in-house.
Chemical hoses assembled by pressure washer products do not need or use hose clamps.
