Pressure washer setup

[doobin]

If buying new, this firm build them to all budgets and specs. I’ve two of their units. 
 

A petrol pressure washer is nothing more than an engine, pump, hose and nozzles. If you use a firm who build them (at very reasonable prices too) then you will get a good setup that works well together from the get go. 
 

Avoid any brands who use ‘max pressure’ as their main/only selling point.

Honda Pressure washers and much more

I've had this monster diesel washer for the last 4 or 5 years. Its a beast and the company have very good parts and service. Its electric and pull start and many options such as longer hoses and it can easily work from a tank. Heavy but good. We've used it for hundreds of hours without any trouble. They do smaller machines if that's what you are after.

Ideal for the professional user with an operating pressure of 3400 PSI / 225 BAR at 15 Litres per minute. The Kiam KM3600DX gives MASSIVE PRESSURE and BIG FLOWRATES for the best...

Every time this comes up Eggs and I give the same advice. 
 

Minimum 13hp engine. Honda or Chonda. Either Interpump (best) or Antonio Reverbi (close second) for the pump. 

Using a generator to run an electric pressure washer is utterly pointless- you’d need double the engine power than if you just used a petrol pressure washer. 

 

If you are going to be storing water in an IBC (buffer tank) then go for a pump that does 21l/min (at around 200bar). This is much better for cleaning kit than 15l/min at 300bar. 

Although I always advocate Honda I’ve had a 20hp V twin B&S in my now standby machine since 2010 and it’s never let me down, oil and filters every 50 hours, roughly, and a full service once a year, its earned me hundreds of times what I paid for it.
