I’ve learned a lot since then, and the most common question I get asked is “when choosing a jetter what is more important; GPM(flow) or PSI(pressure)?” Consider this…    When choosing a jetter’s output in GPM & PSI, remember this hydro jetting rule:  PRESSURE (PSI) is “CUTTING” power, while GPM (Gallons Per Minute) is “FLUSHING” power   Pressure Cuts into blockages: “Thinner” high-pressure waterjet...
