Can you tell the rated hp for this pump? I need one to easily keep 11 lbs vacuum using a pressure guage. Thanks!

Bonnie - 1/3 hp. It will hold 28 to 30in Hg in smaller sealed systems, such as automotive AC. Note that vacuum in this unit is constant and increases up to about 30in Hg. The equivalent in PSIa (a = absolute) for 30in Hg is roughly 15 PSIa. Note also that you will require a vacuum gauge to monitor vacuum; not a pressure gauge. Hope that helps.

My 8cfm pump says "1 HP" on the side. I assume its different for each CFM though.In HG and due to my elevation I'm only suppose to pull a vac of "28.4HG" and I did with my old pump. But with this new Pump, I can pull "29.3 HG" (I didn't even think It'd pull anything past 28.4hg tbh)So I can assure you this pump has more vacuum power compared to others.But I can't confirm its "11lbs" of pressure.

Bonnie - Vacuum is measured by inches of mercury so I don't know the answer to your question. I think the rated HP for this motor is listed in it's description.

this pump is not advertised as food grade do a google search for " high grade food pump" lots of products come up. I hope this helps.

1.5 HP is the rating of the horsepower of your pump, not the electrical ratings i.e. 120/220 volts and 15/20 amps. This is rated for 15A. however the full ratings for this, state 1HP http://www.intermatic.com/en/Products/Pool_and_Spa/Specialty_Controls/Portable_Outdoor_Timers/P1100_Series/P1131.aspx which im guessing is refering to the pump it will be connected to. It doesnt make sense to rate electrical equipment like this with HP.

I forget it's rating, but I think it was 1/2 hp at 120Vac, or approximately 11 amps resistive @120Vac.Bobby

I have not used mine as frequent as you are asking but it appears to be a well built commercial grade vacuum pump. My guess would be that it will last quite well for a pump in this price range.

We have used this pump all summer and were able to pull down to 25 to 50 microns. Lots of factors that ratings would be of no use when pulling a vacuum on different systems.

Great Question :) As you see when you read the reviews enough power wont be a problem with this vacuum. It has an Amazon 107 CFM (even with the HEPA filter installed). It has more power than even most central vacuums. As a side note when you see a company giving its power rating in "HP" it usually means that they are hiding the power rating. HP ratings mean nothing and all standard ratings on vacuum cleaners should be done in CFM. Hope that helps :) Thanks Dustin GreatVacs (seller)

I replaced my 2 hp pump with this one and it works great. No issues at all. You'll be very happy with it.

I have a 10 HP, 3000 psi, 3.5 gpm washer and it is marginal for performance. I have used my surface cleaner with a 13 HP, 3800 psi, 4.0 gpm washer and the performance was good. You might be happier with the 16 inch BE-1600WAW or 18 inch BE-1800WAW surface cleaner.

Specs say 35gph with MAX pressure of 7 psi... It maintained under 5 psi feeding a edelbrock 650 cfm carb on a 460 motor. Also, Mine lasted less than 50 miles.. I'm assuming it was defective. I have replaced it with a Holley Red + regulator and while it is louder (I even have it rubber mounted) it is able to maintain the 5psi I need.

I use the haywward 3/4 hp booster pump for a polaris 280 vacuum.Works great! The only problem I had was finding the correct plumbing diagram. Once I got that piece of cake to install

1/2 hp pump motor works fine. It may work fine with an even smaller pump. Great combination of toos for the price. Well made. Great value.

I think its 3/4 horsepower or 1 HP....it is a very good setup. the pump is very powerful regardless of the HP. Had an older 3/4 HP and it never pumped like this one. Hope it helphelps

It's 1/2 HP. Yes confusing by what some sellers publish because they are "boiler plating" their product information. So don't go by pictures either. When in doubt go directly to manufacturer website and get model information.This is a fantastic pump. Quiet but moreso...efficient.

As long as your pump runs on 110 volts and does not pull more than 10 amps, (1/2 HP or less).

Not sure what the spec says, but i ran at 110 psi. i ran it with a 3hp 10 gal craftsman compressor and only run the one gun with no problems.

I do not have the pump with me but it was bought for a low pressure application -- guessing 6- 8lbs for carburetor application.
