Title: Pressure Washer Recommendations
Post by: The Jester of Wibbly on June 07, 2016, 08:20:06 pm

Looking to get a Pressure Washer add on to the business after a couple of enquiries from my customers.

So looking a something decent that can be moved easily. I am guessing a Honda Petrol trolly type maybe.

Any success or horror stories ?

I have the same bit of kit as SB a honda gx390 its fine for small jobs but i used it to clean down some paneling on the side of a warehouse approx 10m x 60m and it started to fail by the end. I had to get it serviced after, but its up and running like new again :) so i wouldnt suggest getting anything smaller.

Best to use loading ramps unless you want to put yer back out.

Use loading ramps - I wouldn't have anything under 21ltrs a minute 3000 psi
Ben at Rutland pumps gives great advice and is compedative on price.

Jamie - sure it's a genuine Honda ?? - mine are nearly 3 and 2 years old respectively - other than the electrical switch going they don't miss a beat ( they work full bore around 25 hrs each per week and serviced er, um...  Occasionally !  :-[ )
