PSI of shop hired machines
« on: June 03, 2006, 06:33:44 pm »
I know I've asked this before but can someone please help me and let me know if I am on the right lines for some text in my next leaflet.

I want to compare my machine to the shop hired machines via PSI. I cannot find any information on the Haggerty but the Karcher Puzzi's look very similar and have a low enough PSI for comparison ( I think ).

The Karcher has a claimed spray pressure of 2.5 m/bars. Looking at a conversion chart for m/bars - PSI gives me a reading  of 0.03626 psi, which surely cannot be right. If I use just bars ( and not the m/bars quoted by Karcher ) then this figure changes to 36.26psi, which seems more likely.

If I am correct in the assumption that Karchers run at 36psi and my machine runs at 500 psi then can I safely say my machine is 1200% more powerful than a shop hired machine or even more than 12X more powerful than a shop hired machine ??

Thanks everyone.

Id claim its 25 times more powerful,uses grade 1 carbonated water and leaves carpets completely dry 10 minutes before you get it set up, that should put your claims in with the more realistic advertising that I've seen, don't forget to put in the 3 for 2, pay for 2 rooms to be cleaned and they receive 3 special free gifts, a new car, a new house and a holiday, hope this helps, Andy

The hagerty is about 40 psi. Used one for years as a spotter.

1 bar = 14.5 psi
