Pressure Washer
What is a pressure washer?
A pressure washer is used to generate High Pressure water that can remove mold, dust, mud, grime, and dirt from many different services. The mechanical device is usually Gas Powered, although there are the smaller electrical powered ones.
A pressure washer can be used on buildings, concrete, as well as vehicles to clean and restore the objects back to their original state. If you are not using the pressure washer for commercial purposes and will only need it for a small or one time project, you can rent the equipment for a small fee.
The pressure washer can produce pressure up to 5000 PSI and in some cases even more.
When you purchase or rent your pressure washer, it should come equipped with:
- A High Pressure Hose (lengths vary)
- A Trigger Gun
- A Motor to Drive the Water Pump
When you are ready to begin using your pressure washer, the first thing to consider is the water source. You have to ensure that the water source is adequate to feed the pressure washer a constant supply of water. The flow of water source must be equal or superior to the flow that the machine demands.
If water is not given in a constant flow to the device, the pressure washer will malfunction and the motor could burn up, causing irreversible damage.
There are several different nozzles available for attachment to the pressure washer. Each nozzle offers a use for a particular job and will allow a different stream of pressurized water to come through. The nozzles vary from a pencil thin line sized stream of water to a triangular sized larger stream. The majority of nozzles available will attach directly to the trigger gun.
Deep Cleaning with your Pressure Washer
If you are working on a project that requires a little more elbow grease, the use of a nozzle allowing detergent to be incorporated in to the water flow may be the best solution. You can choose from two different types of chemical injectors, a low-pressure and a high-pressure injector.
You should be aware that a pressure washer can be a very dangerous tool if not operated carefully. You should read the safety instructions that will be supplied with the machine before attempting to operate it. The powerful jet of pressurized water coming from the nozzle can rip the flesh right off of a bone.
You should also be aware that when using the pressure washer to clean surfaces such as concrete, the foundation can be broken up and small and even large objects be thrown in to the air with great speed. You should understand that using a pressure washer on asphalt can lead to breaks and crumbling if the water is being directly aimed at a crack or void in the surface.
When you are looking to purchase or rent a pressure washer be aware of the job at hand and determine which may be best for your project. You can find electrical and gas powered units and the pressure will vary. There are some gas Powered Pressure washers that will produce hot water, making them ideal for cleaning grease or oil stains. You should never use a gas Powered Pressure Washer indoors, due to the fumes from the exhaust.

Gas Powered Pressure washer dies when pressure is applied?
Gas powered pressure washer dies when pressure is applied?
It runs fine until you turn the pressure on, and then it dies. Run fine when I start it I hook up water still running fine I pull trigger it dies 6 mo old Please help
I do hook up water b 4 start just wanted to explain runs fine till I pull trigger then stops abruptly
on Pressure Washers always have the water hooked up and on before starting engine.turn on the Spray Nozzle to eliminate a hard start.then it could be a bad pump ,a clogged hose or nozzle,or a worn out engine.if it dies quickly i'd bet on the pump trying to lock -up.hope this helps.
