Are You Considering a Pressure Washer?
Power washers are a very effective tool for cleaning dirt and grime quickly off surfaces.
They operate by forcing water or steam through a small diameter nozzle connected to a wand or hose.
The typical garden forces water at approximately 40 pounds per square inch psi, a power pressure washer depending on size and can stream water at 800-8000 pounds per square inch.
The water flow rate is another important factor in gauging the effectiveness of the power washer this is generally met measured in gallons per minute, or GPM.
Altogether there are four important factors need to be evaluated when looking for an appropriate machine:
A power washer is our ideal for very difficult job such as removing graffiti paint from surfaces, or simply cleaning dirt and grime off driveways, walk ways, parking lots and buildings.
Hot water pressure washers generally clean more thoroughly and quickly than cold water pressure washers.
The downside is they involve more cost, and are more difficult to operate.
A cold water power washer is generally less complicated and more portable.
Among the different types of power washers available are electric power washers, gas powered pressure washers, or for some industrial units propane gas can be used as a fuel.
