just connect an hoseline but make it 1 inch pipe so the flow is adquate, if your running from a tank it may be worthwhile having the unloader valve pump water back to tank whilst not cleaning this helps the pump not overheat.

was worried it may have needed help as pressure would not be as if was running from mains

your cleaner will have a pump built in,definatley need the water to be fed back into your tank as a 1000l ibc wont last  that long espeacialy if your pumping out 18 litres a minute with a strong 13hp engine,you could also do with about 6ft of hose aswell to stop your machine vibrating away on the floor and dont run the machine whilst it is dry or you can knacker your pistons,hope this helps,steve..
