Is there such thing as a 12 volt high pressure water pump ?
The only 12v pumps i know are the builge pumps for boats but they work on volume and not pressure.
Any ideas ???

Farming suppliers, pumps such as shurflo from 5.3L/min @ max 400kPa - 13.6L/min @max 300kPa, costs $257 & $503 respectively.

try the shurflow pumps from whitworths on hartley st
I use one for a shower pump - has a pressure switch too.

as above, what do you mean by high pressure ? supercheap sell air compressor activated water blasters. If that's too high go to any irrigation specialist
shop, there's actually quite a lot out there.

KEv.
I use a 12volt weed sprayer, avialable from most
farm supplies, Eric.

Kev,
You could also try a pressure vessel such as an air tank or similar filled with water and pressureised.
Even a pump up water/air fire extinguisher would do the trick.
Ive seen an old beer keg used as
well.
Drink the beer first!
