A Guide to Buy Hot Water Pressure Washers



Hot water pressure washers are called so because they provide an output temperature of 210°F. Hot water machines can provide two kinds of output: non-heated output and heated output. The following are some useful tips to buy good quality hot water pressure washers from Daimer®.

Output Pressure
The output temperature has the secondary influence on the performance of a pressure washing machine. The primary influence is always output pressure. That is, one cannot make any compromise with the output pressure, just because the machine is capable of providing a decent output temperature.

The output pressure level of hot water pressure washers ranges up to 3500 psi. Machines with a pressure level between 2000 psi and 3000 psi suffice for carrying out the most of the common hard surface cleaning tasks.

Heat Source
How is output temperature generated in pressure washing machines? A heating coil or a burner coil system raises the temperature of the output. The quality of the coil is a prime factor that determines the longevity of the machine.

It is better to choose hot water pressure washers with stainless steel heating coils. Heated machines are more costly than those without a heating element, but they are worth it for effective cleaning. Low cost machines use aluminum coils, which are more fragile and generally do not last long.

The heating coils are powered either by electricity or by kerosene, diesel, or propane.

Understand Pressure Washers before Purchasing One



With high flow rates and high pressure levels, pressure washers are empowered to tackle the most challenging maintenance jobs in commercial and industrial areas. Today, you get to choose from a staggering array of pressure washing machines with different temperature options, flow rates, and pressure levels, each designed to manage a specific task.

The Super Max™ series is a reputable line of pressure cleaning equipment available from Daimer® - one of the most trusted names in cleaning machines. The Super Max™ series includes basic versions of cold water pressure washers and more advanced hot water pressure cleaners and steam pressure cleaners as well as ones with tri-mode options. It is important to understand the limitations and benefits of each before making a purchase.

Cold water pressure washers such as the Super Max™ 8900C-322 will be a good choice if you simply need to manage routine, light-duty cleaning tasks that do not demand the extreme cleaning action of steam or hot water. Since these power cleaners are not heated, they are more compact and portable than heated versions that use fuels.

For more cleaning action, go for hot water pressure washers that eject water at extremely high temperatures and pressure levels. When you need the most aggressive cleaning action available to manage tough jobs like degreasing floors in industrial areas, there is nothing more powerful than steam power washers. By ejecting pressurized steam at temperatures as high as 330°F, steam pressure cleaners help clean, and maintain surfaces.
