Pressure Washers for Surfaces That Can’t Take High Pressure

Pressure Washers for Surfaces
Pressure washers can be used to clean a wide variety of different surfaces. However, some surfaces may be more delicate than others are and require lower pressure levels. Cleaning surfaces like glass or metal that has a paint coating requires pressure washers that have lower water flow rates and pressure levels. Daimer® recognizes the need for pressure washing machines with lower pressure and flow rates. They have a number of different machines specially designed to clean sensitive surfaces.

For certain jobs, such as auto detailing, some people make the mistake of using conventional pressure washers for the job. To fully understand why this is not a good idea, we need to understand how these pressure washers work. A machine with a conventional or high pressure rate will expel a large amount of water onto a small area under great pressure. This is perfect for removing stubborn sediments that may have hardened onto the surface, but if this same pressure is applied on a sensitive surface, it can cause damage and even dents on the surface.

Pressure washers like the Super Max™ 6120SCW are better suited for cleaning delicate surfaces. These use less water with a lower flow rate of only about 0.5 GPM. Coupled with a pressure rate of around 1000 psi, it provides the right amount of cleaning power without damaging the surface. It is also versatile in removing different kinds of dirt deposits and stains. Using pressure washing machines with low water flow rates ensures a thorough cleaning job that will not damage surfaces.
