Title: jetwasher
Post by: jinky230 on April 30, 2006, 07:09:08 pm

guys bought a petrol 2000psi jetwasher from b&q as a backup machine

cost £199.00 has 3.5 hp 125 bar and a 3 year warranty from bq which is second to none
seems it is a mac allister but made by briggs and stratton based on the classic model, they are massive in jetwashers

is it ok to attach the lance for gutters. is this enough power and would the surface tool for monoblock cleaning from dual pumps be ok with it

as it is a backup machine I did not want to spend a lot of cash, but has anyone got this machine and how good is it

any replys would be appreciated

to do blockpaving using dual pump flat surface cleaner the 2000psi pressure is enough providing it has a water flow of at least 15 litres per minute which i doubt it will have. as for connecting to other lances this is ok providing you use the appropriate nozzle size

trevor the water flow is 8 litres per min is this too low for the surface cleaner

by the way thanks for getting back to me
