Jabsco PAR-Max 5 Washdown Pump

[windknotnc]

Has anyone ever used this pump? It is for a bait tank and wash down. Reviews or thoughts?

I run one as a washdown pump.5 years so far so good. Saltwater use. Use a 1/2" min. hose on it for best performance.

It's a constant velocity pump meant for sustained use, not like a bilge pump meant to move high volume for a short time. You will have moderate volume with decent pressure as long as there aren't too many fittings in line or a long run from the pump to the nozzle. Friction loss accumulates quickly in small pumps.
