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.
