[QUOTE="bear, post: 829944, member: 5779"] Couple of dairy operations around here have concrete floors. Very coarse finish to keep cattle from slipping. It is so coarse that it takes a power washer to clean it. Most power washers require 3-4 gpm supply to run them. I have a 250 gallon water tank that I set in the back of the truck and use a 12 volt in line transfer pump to pull water from the tank to the power washer. Wire a trailer plug to the transfer pump and plug into trailer plug on the truck. Turn on parking lights to use transfer pump. You could probably strategically locate a couple of trench drains in your working pens to direct the wash towards. This would help to minimize wash time and reduce water usage. Trench drains could be day lighted to area outside barn. The 250 gallon tank will give you an hour plus wash time. Bear [/QUOTE]
