FAQS

General

• What size pressure washer do I need?

  Electric pressure washers are suited to clean small to medium-sized projects like car washing
  and outdoor furniture very well.

  Petrol powered pressure washers, which are generally more powerful than electric models,
  and are very well suited to cleaning larger projects like decks, large driveways, patios, exterior walls, etc.

• How far away should I stand from the dirty surface I’m trying to clean?

  I always recommend standing at least 1 metre away when you begin pressure washing. Remember, you’re using highly pressurised water which can gouge or fray surfaces. So it’s always best to start further away from the surface, using the widest spray nozzle. You can always move closer, if you absolutely have to.

• Instead of using a garden hose, can I draw water from my pond or my holding tank?

  It is not recommended as contaminants in the water can clog
  and ruin your entire pressure washer.
  
  However, pressure washers can to be hooked up to a garden hose
  or draw water from a bucket as long as the water is clear from impurities.
  

• I have lost my manual. Where can I get another one?

  An archive of discontinued model instruction manuals will be available shortly.
  Otherwise, all current models have an instruction manual available to download
  as a Acrobat PDF on their web page.
