The best 12v for UK soft washing equipment

Seklecting the right pump for your softwashing system can be challanging with all the different models that are available so hopefully this guide will help you choose the best 12V pump for your UK softwashing equipment. Before going into 12v softwashing systems, there are other ways to deliver softwash solutions such as a dosatron and petrol powered roller pumps which can be fantastic but not as versatile compared with a 12v set ups.


Advantages of a 12V pump

Can be easily powered by a battery.

Pumps can be quickly changed.

Low start up cost starting from £125 for a low flow upto £300 for high flow models.

Use frieldly and require low maintenance compared to engine powered systems.

Parts readibly available online with fast shipping.


12v pump options

On the market in the UK there are many 12v pumps but not all of them are suitable for softwashing. A window cleaning pump is not suitable for softwashing chemicals. Our favourite pump manufacturer for softwash pumps is Everflo who have been manufacturing chemical and bleach safe pump for over 7 years catering for the garden and agricultural industry in Amerca. Although the Brand Everflo is only very young, it is a brand of Valley industries that have been operating in the industry for over 20 years based out of Paynesville – Minnesota, USA.

It is an easy choice when it comes to choosing a 12v softwash pumps now thanks to the new release from Everflo. They have re-eningeered the existing 12V pump models specifically for the softwashing industry.


The NEW Everflo EFSW5500 12V Softwash (Bleach) Pump range comes with a few new innovate features:


  • 12V SAE quick connection so you can swap the plug over with a rapid swap over time, no more wiring to deal with just plug and play.
  • Motor sheild protection - this will detect any leaks and shut the pump off. (FANTASTIC for safety and will save you money from damages)
  • Quick connection pump head changes, allow easy maintenance of the perishable pump head so now you dont have to swap out the complete pump
  • THE best feature (IMO) quick connect hose ports, no longer do you need to uncouple any of your hose lines, the quick ports now allow for fast pump changes saving you time and money when your out in the field working and making FAT cash!


Below I have included a video comparing the difference between the two pumps for you to check out.
