Water maker high pressure pump oil - Rainman
Our Rainman
watermaker
high pressure
pump
is supposed to have 30 weight non detergent “general purpose 100
pump
oil”.
Is there a substitute
oil
that is safe to use in the high pressure pump?

Re: Water maker high pressure pump oil - Rainman
Sorry for bumping an old thread. I use oils from these two brands: Mi-T-M and CAT Pumps. I do not know about the
safety
of such oils but they
work
excellent with my Karcher pressure washer.
