Excellent Tips on Choosing Pressure Washers



There are certain facts you must know before purchasing pressure washers. These include the basic features like pressure levels, flow rates, and temperature options. Here is a look at these important aspects of pressure cleaning machines.

Pressure Levels: The Super Max™ range of pressure washers available from Daimer® feature different pressure levels. Use the following table as a guideline for choosing the right power cleaner based on the pressure levels:

•Light Duty Jobs Like Routine Cleaning – pressure levels between 750 psi to 1000 psi
•Commercial Cleaning – pressure levels between 1500 psi to 3000 psi
•Extremely Tough Cleaning Tasks Like Concrete Maintenance – pressure levels above 3000 psi

 Flow Rates: Pressure washersin the Super Max ™ series comes with flow rates ranging from 0.5 GPM to 8 GPM. As the flow rate increases, so does the cleaning action. The flow rates and pressure levels will offer a good idea of the cleaning capabilities of power cleaners. For instance, pressure cleaners with higher flow rates and pressure levels are often used for more demanding cleaning applications.

 Temperature Options: Pressure washers can be broadly divided into cold water based, hot water based, steam based, and tri-mode. Cold water based power cleaners like the Super Max™ 8900C-322 will do well for light-duty jobs. Heated versions are best for challenging tasks. For added versatility, go for tri-mode versions such as the Super Max™ 6000 that can eject cold water, hot water, and steam.
