you need about 15 litres a minute or more and also 3000psi  as for pressure hose that depends on the jobs you have, if you go over about 100ft you can loose a bit of pressure due to back pressure so try to keep shorter than that but having said that i have run mine with 200ft of hose on odd occasions when necassary.
better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove any doubt

Hi,
You cant beat a Kranzle. They're German & go on & on & on.....Based in Sarfend. ( sorry Southend )
I like to save me gutterwashes for wet days & do 3 or 4. As its the time setting up thats costing the money, I run everything from the vehicle, ie jenny & water. I reckon it pays to buy at least 50m of hose so all you have to do run the hose around the house. I charge £70 for inside & outside gutters, fascias, soffits & windows. ( more for bungalows cos theyve got gutters all round )
Kranzle have 10m of hose for around £20 or did have. You cant beat that!
cheers Kevin
p.s. a 100 bar unit will be fine for gutters unless you want to do patios aswell.
