AR RKV4G40 Direct Drive Pressure Washer Pump (Nickel Plated Head)
4000 PSI 4.0 GPM
This pump is also a better replacement for the RSV4G40 and RRV4G40 pumps. It is commercial grade with an excellent warranty. And for the price you cannot beat it. The RSV does have connecting rods in it but in the pump world we would consider it a medium duty pump while the RRV4G40 is a good pump but is not the quality of the RKV4G40. Both pumps side by side going through the same rigorous work, the RKV4G40 will hands down last longer than its RSV and RRV counterpart. Also the RKV pumps has a an unloader that mounts to the side of the pump where the RSV and many other pumps have a built in unloader. With the built in unloader you run the risk of getting internal damage to the pump head and you also are limited to only being able to use one unloader ( and it is usually more expensive).
**All Pumps Are Not The Same**
When buying a pressure washer pump, especially on the internet, there are a few things to consider. There are a lot of new pumps being imported from China and other countries and there is nothing wrong with that -- but all pumps that are imported are not the same. We sell imported pumps and OEM pumps and some of our imported pumps are just as good as the OEM. But we have seen a trend over the last couple of years where every season new pumps are coming out. And every year a lot of them are sold based solely on the price, without taking into consideration a few things:
1) Will I be able to get parts for this pump if one small part breaks- or will I have to replace the whole pump if parts go bad? (this is especially true for the smaller vertical shaft pumps. We sell a lot of AR vertical shaft pumps and have seen over the last three years at least ten different vertical shaft pumps come out. Out of those ten just a few of them, to our knowledge, had parts readily available. So if one of the check valves in the head of the pump was crushed while it was in use and you had one of these pumps you cannot get parts for then you were forced to buy another pump. If you purchased an AR vertical shaft pump or one of the pumps that you could get parts for then you were able to fix your pump. I cannot tell you the number of calls we get from people looking for parts for these pumps and no one has them.
2) Is this item being warrantied from a US based company that will stand behind the pump or replace it if we cannot get parts for it.
3) How long is the warranty on my pump and what does it cover? Most of the OEM pump companies usually have a 1 year on the consumer vertical shaft pumps horizontal shaft pumps and 3-5 years on the commercial horizontal shaft pumps. And please note that it is against defects not against use. So many times on an imported pump it is up to the discretion of the company you purchased it from and not the mfg. We have also noticed that on some of the pumps they only carry a 30 or 90 warranty. Not real good if you pressure wash once a year.
So if you can get parts for your pump easily and it has a good warranty you should be good to go.
Due to a large amount of damages we are having we are no longer sending the pumps out with the unloader attached. If you absolutely need us to put them on please email and we can get you squared away.
