Using a pressure washer when clearing gutters

Looking to purchase the vac and pressure washer set up soon, and got a question for those that are using the set up already.
If you have to use a pressure washer to clear a blockage, or to clean the undersides of the guttering.....do have your own water onboard or use the custies?
If you use the custies, can you turn the pressure down on the p/washer to allow for the feed from the tap?

Have used both options - you will require a pressure washer with an uploader valve to regulate pressure on your machine.
I find gutters are easier to clean when sloppy.

With a pressure washer you are more likely to damage something, so check to make sure your insurance covers this first, especially with a greater chance of water ingress issues.
Mine doesn't and i found pressure washing insurance expensive so decided to stop doing it.
Its wfp cleaning the gutters for me now (exterior), use a vacuum for interiors.

I tried to clean the insides of my gutters with it and made a terrible mess. Apparently there is a knack but i couldn't master it. Works pretty well on the outsides but you really need tfr. Works best under soffits and on brackets.
