As I've posted about before, I have a large reservoir of plastic 55 gallon drums in my shop that I use as a water supply. I also want to have a high pressure/high volume equipment "wash down" type hose that also might do double duty for emergency fire fighting.
Basically, I want the most water and pressure I can push through a 3/4" x 100' hose.
This calculator
Garden Hose Flow Calculator says if the supply pressure is 60 PSI, and the 3/4" hose is 100 feet long, I should be able to push 22 GPM out of it. (1320 GPH) This is what I want.
What I would like to know is if this pump should be able to acomplish this task if attached to a 5hp or so engine?

Their website only lists GPH (1920), but the paper catalog I have also claims 64 PSI and they call it a "high pressure pump". Does that mean one or the other, or both at the same time? Do you think this pump would be able to output at the very least 50 PSI @ 20 GPM AT THE SAME TIME? I've used too many electric pumps that just don't live up to their ratings...
