Jul 6, 2007 #3 Dolly Llama Number 5 Joined Oct 7, 2006 Messages 31,225 Location North East Ohio Name Larry Capitoni depends on the pump and and what PSI it's running at. At 450psi, my Cat 5CP doesn't use a heck of a lot of HP. I'd "guess" less than 2HP When ran at 1500 psi, it needs more ponies ..L.T.A.
