Frequently Asked Questions

What is a pressure washer and how does it work?

A pressure washer is a tool that uses high-pressure water spray to remove dirt, grime, and other materials from surfaces. The machine works by using an electric motor or gas engine to power a pump, which forces water through a narrow nozzle at high pressure.

How do I maintain my pressure washer?

To maintain your pressure washer, you should always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning and maintenance. This may include changing the oil and air filter, inspecting and cleaning the spray nozzle, and flushing the system after each use. You should also store the machine in a dry, protected area when not in use.

What should I consider when buying a pressure washer?

When buying a pressure washer, you should consider the pressure output (measured in PSI), the water flow rate (measured in GPM), the type of pump (axial or triplex), and the type of nozzle (adjustable or interchangeable). You should also consider the size and weight of the machine, as well as its portability and ease of use.

Can I use a pressure washer to clean my car?

Yes, you can use a pressure washer to clean your car, but you should be careful not to use too much pressure or too narrow a spray nozzle, as this can damage the paint and other delicate parts of the car. Use a wide-angle nozzle and keep the pressure below 2000 PSI.

What are the different types of pressure washers?

There are three main types of pressure washers: electric, gas, and diesel. Electric pressure washers are best for light-duty jobs around the home, while gas and diesel pressure washers are more powerful and are better suited for heavy-duty jobs.
