More and more consumers are beginning to purchase their very own pressure washers. Instead of hiring professional pressure washing companies, they choose to clean their patios, walkways, vinyl siding, and gutters themselves. Acquiring the proper equipment and supplies is part of the first step in making this happen. All consumers should do a though research of the different brands, frames, and grade before making a final decision.
Electric and gas-powered machines pressurize the water differently. The biggest difference is the strength and speed of the two pressure washers. Your ultimate decision really depends on the size of your projects at location (home or building).
Gas-powered washers are known to be a better investment than electric power washers. Unbelievably, the smallest gas washer is more forceful than the biggest electric power washer. Gas-powered washers are great for cleaning large surfaces, such as decks, driveways, and homes. You can clean with less time, effort and water.
Pressure Washer Language
GPM Gallons per Minute
The flow of water is measured in GPM. The larger the GPM, the more surface area your pressure washer can clean.
PSI Pounds per Square Inch
The pressure of the water is measured in PSI. The PSI is needed to break the chemical bond linking the surface and the dirt, mud, or mildew. The stronger the chemical bond, the more pressure you will need to remove it from the surface.
CU Cleaning Units
To truly test a pressure washer, you will need to measure it in Cleaning Units. You can calculate the CU by multiplying the PSI times the GPM. (PSI x GPM = CU)
