Where do you come from, I have a similar set up with a better quality Whurlaway
I also look after a fleet of them for a national company, I am a time served plant engineer.
From memory the tech clean has not got a grease point like whurlawys have, but nozzles need changing on all high pressure water equipment as the hole in the nozzle becomes worn bigger giving a reduction in pressure. I'ts also for this reason that nozzles are matched to the pressure washer litres per min (flow) and pressure usually in bars
replacement nozzles should cost about £4/£5 each

How old is your tech clean as the early ones where no more than wheel wash swivel and in my opinion wern't up to the job

its two years old. please dont tell me its no good.  its like new condition?  i hope you mean older models than mine when you say there not up to the job?

Sorry don't want to alarm you, It's just my opinion I don't have a lot to do with Tech clean FSC as the firm whose equipment I look after have none in the field now, although tech clean where the only ones in the early days say 4 years ago. But the desighn has changed to a more robust looking main hub assy, from the initial swivel made ones

If yours looks like this

with the large diameter brass coulored hub then it's one of the later ones

I got the tech clean set up and have had no problems with good results

OK There power washer will be ok as all the same realy, Engine + Pump maybe gearbox inbetween, doesn't realy matter who makes it (they just basically assemble the parts )
