Title: advice for start up pressure washing
Post by: derek west on March 15, 2010, 02:04:42 pm
i'm definately setting up a driveway, patio cleaning division to compliment my carpet cleaning, but i'm dithering as what to buy.

so far i'm going for the techclean 13hp with 12" mosmatic with suction port and a turbo lance, total cost around £2000.

will this give me quality results? is it all i need? or could i get something drastically better for an extra grand?

Should be fine i personally only use turbo lance as i find rotary cleaners dont always remove lichen, also before you buy google malcleanse they got a good range of pressure washers on there, i havent used them yet but they seem like a good company

I've been running tech clean kit for 6 seasons now without any grief, I have also dealt with malcleanse for bits and bobs. I doubt if spending another £k would get any better results unless you went for diesel which would save you in the long run

spoke to malcolm today, really nice guy, he's telling me that the 13hp honda's are running flat out cos of no gears. and that i should look for one with gears on it so its not being thrashed, have i explained it right and if i have would you agree with that,

He is correct,a gearbox will extend the life of your engine and pump

Another vote for Malcolm from me.

He is a top bloke and will always be at the other end of the phone as and when you need him.

Malcolm will sort out everything you need, just be sure to be comprehensive as to what you want to do.

Say hi to him from me  :)
