Hi folks, I am considering the purchase of a tech-clean pressure washer with flat surface cleaner. Just looking for feedback from anybody who is currently using the same equipment. Is it as good as they say? Cheers!

Tim i bought the equipment your talking about 6 weeks ago and am very happy with it.
it does a great job and very quick! I'm earning about £60 an hour with it.
I'm a carpet cleaner but thought it was a nice extra service to offer my customers.
any specific questions?

Do you think Tech -Cleans rotary washer would work off a Panther 20 Chem Tex Truck Mount . I know the only way to be sure is to take it up and try,but was just wondering in your experience have you ever come across a similar partnership.
Thankyou
David.

David, according to tech-clean you need a minimum pressure of 200bar ( Approx 2800psi) to operate the F/S/C I don't think many truckmounts go that High.
you'll have to splash out and buy a petrol pressure washer ;)

Mike,
Thanks,apparently the p.s.i. on my T.M. can crank up to 2500 though I've never tried (it's a Kohler 20hp),but as you say it still falls short.I wonder though is there any way I could "top up" the difference,the reason I ask that is I notice tech-clean do a 5ft wide rotary tool requiring 30 ltrs per min and it makes me think to reach that they must have to combine 2 washers,and I wouldn't need much more just another 3 or 400 p.s.i. ,I could produce that blowing down a hose!!! --(I'm sounding desperate aren't I ) £60 an hour sounds too good to give up without a fight
Len,
Tech-Clean also do one with a vac port though I think the 18" works out at about £900 and 24" around the £1000 mark, is the westpak cheaper ? Thanks for your help, I really think with a bit of tweeking I might be able to use the kit I have ,and it really does sound a great add-on to any window or carpet cleaner with a ready made customer base,I just keep seeing dirty drives, and patios and thinking- I could clean that.......maybe!
Thanks again
David.

Not sure about price think it’s in the region of £500 if you contact Nick @ Solutions he will be able to help with price and data. I have heard some tm’s run this equipment @ 500psi.
Let me know how you get on as I’m interested.
