What is a Pressure Washer?

Let’s start with the basics, what exactly is a pressure washer? A pressure washer is a powerful tool which has the purpose of cleaning large, robust surfaces like buildings, farm machinery, and roads. It does this by shooting out water at high pressure. Pressure washers contain a motorised pump which forces high-pressure water to flow through a concentrating nozzle, breaking up difficult stains like grease, tar and more. There are a few key terms you should learn when trying to understand how pressure washers operate:

1. GPM: gallon per minute
2. PSI: pound per square inch
3. CU: cleaning units or cleaning speed

They are also the perfect solution to clean most stains from the driveway or back gardens. Now you know a little bit about what a pressure wash exactly is, let’s take a look at some of the different types of pressure washers available on the market.

Different Types of Pressure Washers

There are four distinct types of pressure washers, which can be distinguished based on how they dispense water and how they are operated. Check out each different variation and its main uses.

1. Petrol Pressure Washers: These are the most popular power washers and utilise gas engines that drive pressure pumps. The highest water pressure can be produced by them. They can deliver water pressure of between 2,000 and 3,000 PSI (pounds per square inch).
2. Electric Pressure Washers: Although typically less powerful than petrol-powered washers, electric power washers are excellent for home use. These power washers are mounted often on portable hand carts to provide ease of transportation, and they are occasionally utilised for commercial applications.
3. Cordless Pressure Washers: Cordless Pressure Washers have long since been considered the least powerful in the pressure washer industry; Having said that, they are constantly getting better because there have been major advancements made in battery technology. They are perfect for home use and will make any driveway sparkle.
4. Hot Water Pressure Washers: These washers are perfect for commercial applications. Pressure washers that pump hot water are unquestionably useful for both large and small cleaning operations including tough stains and demanding a bit more effort. However, the cost is an issue with hot water pressure washers because they often run on expensive petrol.

Things to Consider Before You Buy a Pressure Washer

The following are just a few of the considerations you need to keep in mind before purchasing your pressure washer:

1. What are you going to use the pressure washer for?
2. Where are you going to be using the pressure washer?
3. Do you need light or strong pressure?
4. Do you need a pressure washer with flexible options for pressure?
5. Where will you be getting your water source from?
