i bought a cheap 4500 psi petrol one 2 years ago for 400 off ebay. i have looked after it and it has done me well. mhy next purchase will be a honda one but it got me started into pressure washing and does a great job.

Sorry to cut you short yesterday. I was next to a busy road, although I'd just finished a property I was up against it timewise, as I knew it was going to rain yesterday afternoon and I am going down to Haverhill next week and am not getting much of a weekend, this weekend and was trying to give myself a day off today. Still got to go out this morning now and I blame you for that, keeping me talking - I will never forgive you!!!

I don't know how far Ruthin in Cornwall is away from you but I have just gone on Ebay and there is a Karcher hot washer 270448766916 up for £895.00. That would be an excellent first machine, particularly with the heat as well.

I will give you a ring in a couple of weeks when it goes a bit quieter.

Thanks for the call

Rob

Hi M Clean,

I have been following this thread. On your website I notice you say "We can include a re sanding price to finish the area after it has been pressure washed and have a full coating service for areas that you want sealing or keeping weed free."

For newbies like me (mainly window cleaning but with a 5.5hp, 2200psi washer) can you give some advice on sealing surfaces post clean? I'd be interested to know which surfaces can (should!) be sealed and products you'd recommend).

Cheers

pressure washer

[JSMC]

much was that washer?

[trevor perry]

This is the easy bit. Go out and start spending about 80 - 100 pounds per 20 metre coil of pressure washer hose.

I have 15 @ 20 metres and 3 @ 30 metres and on one or two jobs I have used 200 metres worth - with no loss of quality or pressure!!

Rob

i have done the same if needs must but it is not recomended to use over about 50m for a long time as this causes back pressure and isnt very good for your pump.

only repeating what i have been told by the engineer who services mine, he says it is ok if using half inch pressure hose but the 3/8 which is generaly used for pressure washers does create a lot of back pressure if used in long lentghs

Everyone who speaks to me ends up richer, I think you know that lol

Also In return I think you have helped to make me richer, so that was probably the best half hour we had both spent for a while.
