| Water Motivator Principle | Water discharged from engine converted into a high velocity jet stream due to a restriction in the eductor. Pressure is brought below atmospheric pressure and water flows through discharge of eductor to 2 1/2" hose to intake of engine. |
| Water Motivator Hydraulics | Pump 150-160 psi to motivator for 100 GPM. |
| Water Motivator Specs | 80-120 GPM Suction Lift up to 20' Discharge head pressure 20-70' Inlet pressure 50-125 PSI Loses 30% efficiency at 300' hose. |
| How to pump Water Motivator | 100 Gallons to start in tank. 150' 1 3/4" to discharge (non-foam), 150' 2 1/2" to auxiliary intake. Pump 150-160 psi to eductor, keep tank to pump and tank fill open. |
