A pressure washer is a mechanical device that uses high-pressure water to remove mold, grime, dust, mud and dirt from surfaces and objects such as buildings, vehicles and concrete road surfaces. Equipment can be rented or bought that produces pressures of up to 5000 PSI (around 345 bar) or more.

The most basic pressure washer consists of:

a motor which directly drives a water pump
high pressure hose
trigger gun
Just like a garden hose nozzle is used to increase the outflowing pressure of the liquid, this machine adds its own power to force high pressure, when a regular nozzle would slow the flow, due to its restricting nature. Note that the pump does not draw more water from the pipe to which the washer is connected than that source can provide; therefore, the water supply must be adequate for a given machine to be connected to it: its flow must be equal or superior to that of the washer, so that the pump is never starved (which can damage it, see Cavitation).

Several different types of nozzles are available, each useful for a particular application. Some nozzles cause the water jet to be ejected in a triangular plane, while others emit a pencil-thin jet of water, which spirals around rapidly. Most nozzles attach directly to the trigger gun.

Some pressure washers, in combination with a particular nozzle, allow detergent to be introduced into the water stream, assisting in the cleaning process. Two types of chemical injectors are available: a low-pressure injector and a high pressure injector.

Pressure washers are dangerous tools and should be operated with due regard to safety instructions. The water pressure near the nozzle is powerful enough to strip flesh from bone. Objects in the water supply can be ejected from the nozzle at great velocities. The cleaning process can propel objects from the surface being cleaned, also at great velocities. Pressure washers have a tendency to break up asphalt if aimed directly at it, due to high pressure water entering cracks and voids in the surface.

Most readily available consumer units (commonly found online or at hardware stores) are electric or gas powered. The electric ones plug into a normal outlet and use/produce cold water, and typically deliver pressure up to about 2000psi. Gas powered units can often deliver twice that pressure, though due to the hazardous nature of the gasoline exhaust they are unsuitable for enclosed and/or indoor areas. Some models can generate hot water, which can be ideal for loosening and removing oil and grease

Pressure Washers-Maintaining the machine

2008-11-15 – 8:26 am

If possible, store the washer indoors in the off-season to avoid damage to the pump, hoses and spray wand. Otherwise, winterize them using only antifreeze designed for recreational vehicles (RVs); see Photo 6. When a gas-powered washer won’t be used for a month or more, prevent damage to the engine by draining the system of gas or adding a gas preservative to the fuel tank.

Pressure Washers

1 . TO START a gas-powered washer: (1) Clean any debris from the inlet filter. (2) Connect any accessories (like this chemical injector). (3) Run water through the washer for one minute to prime the system and remove any air. (4) Squeeze the spray wand trigger to bleed water pressure, and (5) pull the starter cord to start the engine.

2. WASH siding to prepare it for painting. Begin with the wand’s nozzle 4 ft. from the house and slowly move it closer until you achieve the desired cleaning effect. Grip the spray wand with two hands, direct the water stream at a 45-degree angle to the siding and move the water stream constantly.

3. CLEAN cars and other items with an accessory brush and detergent. First rinse the area with water, then switch to a detergent wash and finish with a rinse.

4. SCOUR oil and dirt off a garage floor with a deter-gent: (1) Rinse surface dirt off the floor at high pressure. (2) Change the nozzle setting to low pressure to dispense detergent. (3) Finish by changing the nozzle back to high pressure and rinsing with water.

5. RENEW deck boards by holding the spray wand at a 45-degree angle 1 to 2 ft. from the decking. Keep the water stream constantly moving. Use a higher-pressure (2,000 psi or greater) gas-powered washer and a concentrated spray nozzle setting (15-degree).

Pressure Washers

6. WINTERIZE a pressure washer by filling the pump and internal system with undiluted RV-type antifreeze. Insert a funnel into a 3-ft. section of garden hose (one with a male faucet coupling), attach the coupling to the water intake on the washer and slide a 1-ft. section of hose over the water outlet. Start the gas engine and pour antifreeze into the funnel until a steady stream of antifreeze flows from the discharge hose. Stop the engine, pull off the hoses, and seal the intake and outlet with duct tape.

Better cleaning with detergents

2008-11-15 – 8:10 am

Detergents (about $6 to $14 a gallon) and accessory brushes increase cleaning effectiveness while reducing cleaning time. When renting or buying a pressure washer, inquire what accessories and detergents are available for it. To prevent damage to the internal parts, never run bleach in the machine or use detergents not designated for use in pressure washers.

Detergents can only be run through pressure washers using a wide spray pattern. In addition, electric pressure washers require a low-pressure setting on the spray wand. Follow your machine’s instructions for using detergents, diluting the detergent and (if necessary) hooking up a chemical injector (Photo 1).

For the best cleaning results, first loosen the dirt with plain water under high pressure using a medium spray pattern. Next, apply the detergent using a wide nozzle setting and let the detergent sit a few minutes to penetrate the dirt. Keep the surface wet to avoid possible discoloration or damage by the detergent. Finish by resetting the nozzle to a medium pattern (or changing the nozzle) and rinsing with plain water. Switch detergents by draining the first detergent from the pressure washer, rinsing the system with plain water and introducing the next detergent.

Power cleaning techniques

2008-11-15 – 8:07 am

Pressure washing removes dirt and grime, but it isn’t designed to strip paint or kill mildew on siding or decks. For the best cleaning results without damaging any surfaces, first test the pressure setting and spray pattern on an inconspicuous place.

When washing house siding, follow these rules:

Lay tarps around the house perimeter to protect plants and collect paint chips blown off during washing. Houses built before 1977 may have lead paint chips that will have to be collected and properly disposed of at a hazardous waste facility.
Don’t hold the spray wand “head on” to the siding. This drives dirt into the surface rather than washing it away. Hold the wand at a 45-degree angle to the siding and at a distance that yields the best cleaning results without gouging wood or denting metal or vinyl.
Work small areas at a time. To prevent streaks, start washing from the bottom and work up. For even cleaning, use long, overlapping strokes. Rinse the siding by working from the top down.
Avoid driving water up behind the siding by keeping the spray stream level. Use an extension spray wand for reaching higher places. Be careful when using a lance extension. The “kickback” can throw it into contact with power lines.
Don’t spray windows. The high pressure can break them.

Pressure Washer nozzles

Pressure Washer nozzles

INSERT individual nozzle tips into the spray wand by retracting the quick-coupling collar, pushing the tip in as far as it will go and releasing the collar. Pull on the tip to confirm that it’s firmly locked in position. Point the spray wand away from people and property when starting the pressure washer.

Pressure Washers Direct also carries a complete selection of Honda pressure washers and power washer accessories, including Karcher Accessories, pressure washer hoses, pressure washer nozzles, pressure washer wands and more.

Pressure washers that deliver less than 2,400 psi generally come with a single adjustable spray nozzle that delivers zero to 60-degree fan patterns. Some brands offer accessory “rotating” or “turbo” nozzles that clean more effectively than standard adjustable nozzles because they spin the water stream.

Heavier-duty units generally come with four or five color-coded, individual nozzle tips (three are shown here). They create specific fan patterns: wider (for using detergents), medium (for general cleaning) and narrower (for blasting deep stains).

Most pressure washers that you’ll find for rent or sale are gas-powered. This type can deliver higher water pressure than the electric kind, some more than 3,000 psi. But gas-powered washers also require more water: 2 to 3 gpm. These washers are the best choice for bigger jobs like preparing siding for painting (Photo 2), removing “aging” stains from wood decks (Photo 5) and deep-cleaning concrete. You can rent one for about $60 a day, plus the cost of accessories like chemical injectors (Photo 1) or longer spray wands for reaching high places. Gas-powered washers (non-commercial units) cost $300 to $800 depending on the pressure they deliver, their features and the engine and pump quality.

Pressure Washers

2008-11-15 – 7:42 am

Wash siding, concrete floors, decks and even your car faster and easier with pressure washers.

Pressure washers are so much fun to use—and show such dramatic and quick results—that you’ll be begging to clean your neighbors’ siding, driveways and cars once you’ve finished your own.

You can rent or buy a pressure washer to clean nearly any outdoor item. By following the tips in this article, you’ll learn how to use pressure washers safely and efficiently.

Two types of pressure washers and how they work

Pressure washers, whether they’re powered by electric motors or gas engines, run a pump that pressurizes the water from your garden hose to 1,000 lbs. or more, then forces it out through a spray wand. The higher the pressure (measured in pounds per square inch—psi), the tougher the cleaning jobs they can tackle. Both types require a steady, uninterrupted supply of water (in gallons per minute—gpm). For occasional use, most homeowners will find that a washer with a pressure range of 1,300 to 2,400 psi works best.

Pressure Washers Direct is your online pressure washer superstore. We carry the leading pressure washers from the leading power washer manufacturers, including Karcher, Briggs & Stratton and Campbell Hausfeld. Pressure Washers Direct also carries a complete selection of Honda pressure washers and power washer accessories, including Karcher Accessories, pressure washer hoses, pressure washer nozzles, pressure washer wands and more.

Electric pressure washers deliver 1,300 to 1,400 psi, require about 1-1/2 gpm and are the best choice for light-duty cleaning like washing cars (Photo 3), outdoor grills and garage floors (Photo 4). They generally cost less than $200 and are quieter, lighter in weight and more portable than gas-powered washers. Many have built-in tanks for optional detergent use. Always connect electric washers to power outlets that are protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) and use only 12- or 14-gauge extension cords.

Top 5 Best-Selling Pressure Washers

2008-10-31 – 9:07 pm

List of the Hottest Pressure Washers in 2004

CHICAGO, IL (March 30, 2005) - Finding a selection of pressure washers is easy. But with so many types of pressure washers on the market, it can be difficult selecting the best value.

kwpressurewasher.com , an online pressure washer superstore which carries more than 60 different models, is helping homeowners pick the perfect pressure washer by publishing its annual list of top-selling pressure washers.

“Once we loaded all of the models into our extensive database, homeowners could easily determine which models were the best value based on price and features,” said Jon Hoch, founder of Pressure Washers Direct.com.

The list of best-selling pressure washers encompasses a wide variety of sizes, ranging from 1500 to 3400 pounds-per-square-inch (PSI).

5. Karcher K5.20M
Some electric power washers have the reputation of being cheap, high pressure water picks. Not Karcher’s K5.20M. This model made the best sellers list simply because of its quality.

According to Hoch, homeowners like the features of an electric power washer, but get extremely frustrated when it burns out or breaks prematurely.

With a durable induction motor and professional style aluminum pump, the K5.20M may cost a little more than something you’ll find at your local discount store, says Hoch, but the quality justifies the expense.

4. Reconditioned Campbell Hausfeld PW2200
Some of the best bargains aren’t found in stores. In fact, they are often returned to stores.

Take the case of Campbell Hausfeld’s reconditioned 2300 PSI pressure washer. This pressure washer is often purchased by the weekend warrior, who also happens to be the champion of cheap. He uses it for the weekend, then returns it for a full refund.

This barely used pressure washer is sent back to the manufacturer, who inspects, cleans and, if necessary, fixes any problems. Since it is no longer “technically” new, the price is significantly reduced and resold as reconditioned.

3. Briggs & Stratton 1808
Wow. Briggs & Stratton’s 3400 PSI pressure washer seems too good to be true. Most pressure washers above 3000 PSI cost at least a grand. Not this one. This extremely powerful pressure washer retails for only $799.99 at Pressure Washers Direct.com.

It must be junk, you say. Not so. According to Hoch, Briggs & Stratton’s 3400 PSI pressure washer has consistently received rave reviews from customers, and the company has yet to log a single complaint on this model — a remarkable feat considering the number of units sold.

Campbell Hausfeld 1500 PSI Electric Pressure Washer 2. Campbell Hausfeld PW1380
This electric power washer made the best selling list two years in a row for two main reasons:

First, it has everything, including a built-in detergent tank to store your soap and a turbo nozzle to boost your pressure and cleaning speed.

Secondly, it’s affordable. Pressure Washers Direct.com is currently selling the new PW1380 for just $169.99, including free shipping and no taxes. If that’s still too much for your budget, you can also purchase a reconditioned model for a mere $129.99

Karcher 2400 PSI Pressure Washer with Honda Engine 1. Karcher G2400HH
The best selling pressure washer in 2004 was … drum roll, please … Karcher’s G2400HH. This marks the second consecutive year Karcher’s 2400 PSI pressure washer topped the charts.

“This is the Goldilocks of Pressure Washers,” said Hoch. “It’s not too powerful or too weak.”

According to Hoch, who personally uses this model at his home, the Karcher 2400 PSI pressure washer is perfect for light-duty and heavy-duty residential use. Its 5-Horsepower Honda engine has plenty of power to tackle the toughest household chores. Plus, it comes with a DirtBlaster® rotating nozzle, which significantly speeds up cleaning time.

Pressure Washers Direct is your online pressure washer superstore. We carry the leading pressure washers from the leading power washer manufacturers, including Karcher, Briggs & Stratton and Campbell Hausfeld. Pressure Washers Direct also carries a complete selection of Honda pressure washers and power washer accessories, including Karcher Accessories, pressure washer hoses, pressure washer nozzles, pressure washer wands and more.
