Post by: Cliff perkins on June 23, 2012, 06:10:21 pm

Anybody point me in the direction of a good hose to supply water to my pressure washer.

i was using tap water connected straight into machine. many times i was getting lack of pressure. so I got buffer tank, and reinforced 3/4 hose between tank and machine. no troubles anymore. lack of water on input kills pump as well (cavitation). if your hose isn't thick enough and flow is too small, you get lack of pressure straight away. In taps around my place, i can get 7-10 lpm.
