Hi Mark - in my case the 3 jets have seemingly increased the flow or pressure of the flow - possibly by using smaller orifices than the stock 2 jets? I think my stock jets were just plain worn out and quite weak and the pump is the original as far as I know. The new setup is as good as what I have on my Audi in terms of pressure...you can actually hear the windshield fluid hitting the windshield. Not sure if they are from the same vendor - but they do all look the same so it is quite possible they are.
