Hot Water Pressure Washers for Powerful Cleaning

Hot water pressure washers are a better alternative to hours of hands-on scrubbing, bleach, acid, and other harmful and unproductive cleaning techniques. Daimer®’s pressure washing machines are available in two categories: heated and non-heated. Non-heated pressure washer machines do not have a heating device and therefore are limited to cold water cleaning.

Pressure washers should ideally have a heating device if you plan to use them for degreasing operations. Grease congeals under cold temperatures, which is why cleaning gas stations, car parks, factories, food-processing plants, commercial kitchens, boats, and airplane hangars using cold water is difficult. Heat melts grease, which is rinsed away with the high-pressure spray.

Daimer® offers pressure washers that run on electricity, gasoline, diesel, or propane. The Vapor-Flo® series is electricity-heated, while others are heated by fuel. The Vapor-Flo® 8025 heats cold water in as little as 30 seconds. This machine has a pressure level of 1450 psi, recommended for most commercial operations such as cleaning restaurant exteriors, factory floors, and retail areas. This machine is ideal for car washing and boat cleaning; the pressure levels will not damage the vehicle or boat and heated temperature levels up to 140°F help remove tough dirt and grime. It can be used for cleaning engines, car exteriors, boat decks, and many more areas.

Daimer®’s pressure washers can attain even higher temperatures. Many models in their Super Max™ series reach temperatures up to 330°F for degreasing operations. This machine is also useful for removing coated sugars and proteins, particularly in food-processing plants, commercial kitchens, and restaurants. 

A Guide to Buying Cold Water Pressure Washers

Many people have the wrong impression that cold water pressure washers are not powerful enough for many cleaning applications. However, wise and experienced buyers know that these machines can be very effective and powerful. These machines have their limitations, particularly when it heavy industrial cleaning and degreasing. However, for those who do not need the heated output, cold-water pressure washers offer an opportunity to also see a quick return on their initial investment.

What Are Cold Water Machines?
In terms of output temperature level, three categories describe the difference between pressure washers: cold water, hot water, and steam pressure cleaners. Cold water machines, as their name suggests, provide high-pressure output at room temperature. Hot water machines provide an output temperature of 210°F, and steam machines offer 330°F.

Pressure washing machines rely mainly on their cleaning efficiency. Heated output is mostly required for industrial cleaning, such as degreasing and eliminating difficult debris. This is the main difference between the cleaning efficiency of cold water pressure washers and their heated counterparts.

How to Choose Machines
To decide which pressure washer model you need, determine the purpose the machine will fill. Different output pressure levels are suitable for different cleaning tasks. The output pressure level of commercially available pressure washing machines ranges from 750 to 8000 psi. For example, the Super Max™ 8750 features pressure levels of 3000 psi and flow rates of 5 GPM.
