i am looking to buy a pressure washer for spraying tfr onto guttering via a telescopic lance and blast off, also to do drives ways so nothing to heavy. i was looking at a honda gx 160 5.5bhp on ebay.... if i bought this machine would i be able to use one of those flat floor scrubbers also. thanks

That would do your gutters alright but would be unsuitable for drive cleaning. For this you need a minimum spec of 3000psi 15lpm. These are usually 13hp models.

didn think i would need a one that powerful, where is the best place to buy them?

I got one from Northern tools. You will also need above 10ltr per min to drive a whirlygig.

I got a Titan a few weeks ago (a few TM’ers really believed) ;D OK not a branded name, ;D but it came with a spare set of gaskets and rubber seals. ??? Oh it’s heavy! >:(

We have a telescopic lance and believe me, using it is hard work. It will certainly take some getting used to.
The thing with pressure washing guttering is that the mess will literally go everywhere, so be prepared for plenty of after job cleaning up.
Finally, I'd recommend spraying chemicals via a low pressure sprayer. Using the suction feed on the PW will use way too much and cost you a small fortune (unnecessarily).

i contacted malcleanse on the advice of ian and i can confirm that the owner is very helpfull and very knowledgable, he spent about thirty minutes on the phone with me and i will be buying my equipment from him (next week i hope). he will do you a deal on a startup package for about 2.5k but you can buy less for cheaper if you dont have the funds to start with.

ave just bought the titan, with vat and delivery its nearly 200 pounds cheaper than the kiam and is the exact machine. have a look at www.equip2clean.co.uk . the specifications r exactly the same. its has a 3/4 fitting and i need a 3/8s for the tele lance i have bought, can i get a fitting?

I will stick with the Titan name as when using it I’m dreaming of carpet cleaning wanabe. ;) ;D
List prices £1975 buy now £608.68 plus vat I saved about £70quid. So you got a blinding deal, where DFS when you need them. ;D
Pop down to a good plumbers shop, not the run of the mill type for adaptors, don’t think their QF connectors fit any of ours (took mine to a pressure cleaning shop, you’ve got the wrong hose hydraulic stamp on it ???)
I’ve got a telescopic lance been sitting in one of my garages for 4-5 years total waist of money (I got it free) now a drain cleaner worth it weight in gold :-X

We use IK sprayers all purchased from Solo Sprayers. They offer great back-up and I would highly recommend.
