Pressure Washer

The turbo nozzle goes a long way to balance low flow/pressure and the ability to clean stuff.
For those that don't know what this means - basically the turbo nozzle delivers a very thin jet of pressurized water, this would normally allow you to only clean a small area but the turbo nozzle wobbles the jet all over the place so you get a powerful clean but don't need top pressure. All you need to do is find the right size jet and the correct fan movement for your application.
This all falls flat if you use a block paving head with a weedy cleaner but that's life!
32l per minute...bloody hell, that would take barnacles off a hull, the paint and sacrificial anodes!!!!  
 
 

I spent a few weeks cleaning hulls with a mega washer about 15 years ago.
You’d have to brace yourself before firing or you’d get knocked over.
It would strip everything back to shiny metal in one quick pass.
It would also cut tarmac too.
Was warned to keep it away from me feet.
And it was 90 degrees centigrade water.
Scary ass bit of kit.
Probably overkill for a log bullet.

Although my machine isn't a hot wash it's got a similar kick to it when you pull the trigger. Forcing 32L/min @ 3000psi through a nozzle does send you backwards if you aren't expecting it. When I worked on the roads we used to cut concrete out of bridge piers using high pressure water.

If I hadn’t seen it, I’d be skeptical,
But wow! what high pressure water will do is scary!
