When it comes to purchasing commercial pressure washers for your cleaning applications, you must consider several aspects, such as flow rate, temperature options, power source, the configuration, and more.
Flow rates, expressed in gallons per minute (GPM), determine how much water will be expelled by the pressure cleaner in a minute. Higher flow rates imply more cleaning power. For job applications such as auto detailing, low flow rates are adequate and often preferred, as water and drainage facilities may be limited. However, for larger, more demanding cleaning jobs larger flow rates up to 5 GPM are recommended.
Pressure washing tips also include choosing the right temperature option based on the cleaning task. That means cold water based commercial pressure washers are suitable for light cleaning jobs. However, heavy-duty degreasing tasks in industrial settings call for a hot water based or steam based pressure cleaners. Heated pressure cleaners eject hot water at temperatures of up to 210ºF and steam at temperatures up to 330ºF. Quality distributers also offer tri-mode pressure cleaners that can work as cold water based, steam-based or hot water based power cleaners independently. These can be trailer mounted pressure washers as well.
For hassle-free cleaning of vast industrial or outdoor areas, opt for gasoline-powered or propane pressure washers for more mobility than an electric pressure washer, as they do not require use near an electrical supply. However, it is important to note that proper ventilation is required. Gas, propane, and diesel powered systems generate exhaust, often unsafe for poorly ventilated indoor areas.
To solve this problem, operators can select an electric system, producing no exhaust but requiring use near a source of electricity, or use the latest gas, diesel, and propane pressure washers with long hose technology. Top suppliers now enable operators to work up to 300 feet from the machine without losing pressure, allowing users to place their pressure washer in an exhaust-friendly location.
Mobility can also be enhanced by the machine's configuration. Stationary, wheel mounted, and trailer mounted pressure washers are available. While the mobility of stationary systems is limited by the length of the pressure hose, wheel mounted and trailer mounted pressure washers can reach a variety of applications.
The most important factor to consider when purchasing a pressure cleaner is finding a trusted supplier of high quality equipment.
