Built Around the Trusted TT2035EBF Pump

At the heart of this unit is the General Pump TT2035EBF, a triplex plunger pump known for its reliability and compact design:

• Triplex Design: Three ceramic plungers provide smoother operation, longer life, and reduced vibration compared to axial cam pumps.

• Durable Construction: Built with hardened components for resistance against wear and high-pressure water flow.

• Compact Form Factor: Lightweight at 18 lbs, making it suitable for portable pressure washers and space-limited systems.

• Consistent Output: Delivers 3.5 GPM at 2,000 PSI, the ideal performance for residential and light commercial cleaning applications.

General Pump’s TT Series is a staple in the industry, trusted worldwide for pressure washer applications where performance and durability matter.

VRT3-160 Unloader – Safety and System Protection

This Pump Made Ready configuration includes a VRT3-160 unloader valve pre-installed. The unloader is one of the most critical components in any pressure washer pump system, and General Pump ensures it’s factory-mounted and ready to go.

• Pressure Regulation: The VRT3-160 automatically regulates pressure up to 2,000 PSI, protecting the pump and system.

• Bypass Function: Redirects water flow safely when the trigger gun is released, preventing pump damage.

• Factory-Matched Setup: Installed and calibrated for optimal performance with the TT2035EBF pump.

• Durability: Built for long life under continuous use, minimizing maintenance needs.

By including the unloader in this assembly, General Pump eliminates setup guesswork, ensuring safe and reliable operation right out of the box.

Integrated Thermal Relief

The thermal relief system is another vital protection feature of the TT2035EBF-VRT3-160 assembly.

• Protects Against Overheating: Prevents damage if water recirculates in bypass mode for too long.

• Automatic Function: Activates to release overheated water and allow cool water to flow in.

• Extends Pump Life: Reduces wear and damage caused by overheating during idle cycles.

• Peace of Mind: Ensures long-term system reliability, especially in demanding environments.

This safeguard is particularly important for contractors or operators who may leave systems in bypass mode during jobsite pauses.

Compact but Capable – 3.5 GPM at 2,000 PSI

Despite its compact size and light weight, the TT2035EBF-VRT3-160 pump delivers impressive performance:

• Flow: 3.5 GPM, an excellent balance for both rinsing large surfaces and applying cleaning detergents.

• Pressure: 2,000 PSI, enough to cut through tough dirt, grime, and grease without damaging delicate surfaces.

• Versatility: Suitable for residential, commercial, and light industrial pressure washer systems.

This balance of flow and pressure makes the unit ideal for car washes, siding cleaning, equipment washing, and general-purpose cleaning applications.
