Can anyone help me please, im pretty novice at pressure washing but get quite a few jobs, i have a petrol 13hp pressure washer, 3500 - 4500psi i think and off top of my head cant remember gpm it gives but can get that tomorrow, 3.5gpm rings a bell.
I did a big pressure washing job today and think its time to invest in a FSC, how do i go about getting one, i know this might sound dumb but are they all the same? Do couplings vary much?
Sorry for being a massive dumbo lol.

If I was in your position I'd snap this up.

It's a fair price but I'd be cheeky and offer him 320. He does say ''I'm open to decent offers''

Thanks for that mate, i did see that. Can i ask you about turbo nozzles to. I think ive seen your vids on youtube? Do you rate them, they look impressive, not covering as much area as the fsc, but seem deeper and very quick...and cheaper by looks of things.

Yeh you need a turbo. One that corresponds to your pump. A flats surface cleaner won't rip out weeds, a turbo will. People assume a FSC does the lot.
You've probably seen the Suttner video clip. They are good but they break faster than the cheaper one's. I've stopped buying Suttner. At 60 quid a pop they were lasting 2 months then the ceramic inside was chipping. The kits were 40 quid. I stick to 30 quid turbos now and they're brilliant. Don't know who makes them, just know they're Italian and not German.

I think you're quite close to me (I'm in Harmer Hill, SY4) if you get over my way, you are welcome to have a look at my set up. I use a honda PW with a 18" whirlaway and turbo lance. Local supplier is Russ at Shropshire Pressure Washers.

Thank outdoor restore, if i get time i will pop over. Its about hour n half from me tho. I hired a whilaway today and like blast away said not for in ground dirt.
This job i did was thick mud that hadnt been cleaned for well i think forever. Ended up going back to the lance which was pretty tiring!
Need to invest in a turbo me thinks.
Guys do you do much pressure washing? Id like to get into this, i do mainly window cleaning but is it something you can do full time? Would like to get one of my guys on it all time if work was out there.

Everything we do is pressure washing besides when the gum steamers come out for gum only jobs and not full surface cleans. Don't do window cleaning although have got a 31 foot Brodex pole which has been used a couple of times for cladding and conservatories.
Plenty of work about.
