Portable Pressure Washer

The effectiveness of pressure washing is well known and has many applications both in domestic and industrial environments. Where fixed regular cleaning is required, then a plumbed in static washer may be the answer, but more often the machine has to be taken to the area requiring cleaning, and this is where the portable pressure washer comes in.

Portable Pressure Washer – Types

The type of portable pressure washer required depends on the job in hand. The basic pressure washer, uses cold water and often this is adequate for most tasks, however more stubborn and adherent grime will be more easily removed by a hot water version. A hot water pressure washer can have the additional option of being used as a steam cleaner for extra cleaning power. The portable pressure washer may be simply plugged into the mains and require a single phase supply or it may need a 3 phase supply for larger machines, or for a fully portable machine it would have its own engine for power and possibly its own water supply.

Portable Pressure Washer – Selection Criteria

• Think about what you want the portable pressure to clean and select the one with the appropriate duty.
