sean post4's List: Powered Pressure Washers

Pressure washers arehighly beneficial cleaning systems for virtually any residential, commercial,or industrial user. The more powerful pressure washers can accomplish tasksthat most cleaning equipment can’t even touch, like stripping paint, degreasingheavy-duty equipment, and removing the most stubborn oil, dirt, grime, and soilresidues from concrete, walkways, driveways, sidewalks, brick, buildingexteriors, and much more. Some pressure washers can even detail cars! But, whenit comes to the various applications these machines can be used, pressurewasher operators are often limited by the lack of power connection in workingin external environments.

Facing this problem shouldnot be a deterrent to purchasing pressure washer equipment, as a solution ishere: gas powered pressure washers. Pressure washing machines powered bygasoline afford users a great deal more mobility than standard electricpressure washing equipment. By using gasoline to generate power, these machinesallow users to work in areas where an electrical supply is not necessarilypresent or available. Just think of all the applications that will benefit fromthis ability: agricultural, marine, construction, and virtually any commercialor industrial pressure washing application in remote exterior locations.

Noise can be a concern whenusing gas pressure washers, as they tend to be louder than models powered byelectricity. Yet, in light of the increased noise, gas-powered models produce agreat deal more power.  Many pressurewashers powered by gasoline motors feature anywhere from 3 HP to 50 HP of sheerpower. Even though the power options have been narrowed down, when purchasinggas pressure washers consumers must understand the different types of modelsavailable. Pressure levels, flow rates, and temperature options are the primarymodes of differentiation. Pressure levels range from 1500 psi for lighter tasksto 8000 psi and beyond for the most powerful pressure washing available. Flowrates offered can range from 2 GPM to 8 GPM. Choosing the proper flow rate andpressure level depends upon the application at hand. Generally the morepowerful the feature, the more quickly the user can accomplish the task athand.

The greatest degree ofdelineation among the various gas pressure washers available lies within thetemperature options. Gasoline-powered cold water pressure washing machines canbe used for a range of lighter, residential pressure washing applications, butdo not afford users the advanced cleaning power associated with heatedmachines. Models with heat come in two variations: hot water and steam. Hotwater pressure washing equipment is much more powerful than cold water pressurewashers, as it can dissolve substances much more quickly.

As cleaning powerincreases with temperature, hot water pressure washing equipment, withtemperatures up to 210 ºF, cannot reach the advanced power of steam. Steampressure cleaners reach astoundingly high temperatures up to 330 ºF, which allowsoperators to sanitize and disinfect surfaces while cleaning, degreasing, and quicklyremoving even the most challenging substances.

Despite the wide array offeatures and power options available on gas-powered pressure washer equipment,one thing is for sure: all gas pressure washers afford users maximum mobilityand power for tackling any commercial or industrial pressure washing application.
