Pressure Washer Equipment Guide
Choosing the Right Pressure Washer
Selecting the appropriate pressure washer for your project depends on several factors including the cleaning task, surface material, water availability, and power source access.
Key Considerations:
- Pressure Rating (Bar) - Higher pressure provides more cleaning power but may damage delicate surfaces
- Flow Rate (L/min) - Higher flow rates clean larger areas faster
- Hot vs Cold Water - Hot water cleaners are more effective for grease and oil removal
- Power Source - Electric models are quieter and suitable for indoor use; petrol/diesel units offer greater mobility
- Hose Length - Longer hoses provide greater reach without moving the unit
Application Guide:
Application | Recommended Type | Pressure Range |
---|---|---|
Vehicle Cleaning | Cold Water, Electric | 100-150 Bar |
Driveway/Patio | Cold Water, Surface Cleaner | 150-200 Bar |
Industrial Equipment | Hot Water, Diesel | 200-350 Bar |
Graffiti Removal | Hot Water, Steam | 150-200 Bar |
Drain Cleaning | Cold Water, Jetter | 150-200 Bar |
Safety Guidelines
Pressure washers can cause serious injury if used incorrectly. Always follow these safety guidelines:
- Always wear appropriate PPE including eye protection, gloves, and closed-toe footwear
- Never point the spray at people, animals, or electrical equipment
- Start with the widest spray pattern and lowest pressure setting, adjusting as needed
- Maintain proper footing and balance at all times
- For petrol/diesel units, ensure adequate ventilation to prevent carbon monoxide buildup
- Allow hot water units to cool down before refueling or storage
- Follow manufacturer's instructions for specific equipment operation
Maintenance Tips
Proper maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends equipment life:
- Flush the system with clean water after each use
- Check and clean filters regularly
- Inspect hoses for damage or leaks before operation
- Use the correct fuel and oil as specified by the manufacturer
- Store in a frost-free location when not in use
- For long-term storage, add antifreeze to prevent internal damage

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between hot and cold water pressure washers?
Cold water pressure washers are generally more affordable and suitable for removing dirt, mud, and light grime. Hot water pressure washers are more effective at removing grease, oil, and stubborn contaminants as the heated water helps break down these substances more efficiently.
How do I choose the right pressure for my cleaning task?
As a general rule, use lower pressure (100-150 bar) for delicate surfaces like vehicles, medium pressure (150-200 bar) for driveways and patios, and higher pressure (200+ bar) for industrial applications. Always start with a lower pressure setting and increase gradually as needed.
Do I need any special training to operate a pressure washer?
While basic electric pressure washers are relatively simple to operate, we recommend a brief orientation for all equipment. For industrial-grade equipment, especially ultra-high pressure units, we provide comprehensive training as part of the hire process to ensure safe and effective operation.
What power source options are available?
We offer electric pressure washers (requiring 110V or 240V power supply), petrol-powered units (for areas without electricity), and diesel-powered models (typically for larger industrial applications). Each has advantages depending on your specific requirements and working environment.
What accessories are included with the pressure washer hire?
Standard accessories include spray lances, nozzles, and hoses. Specialized attachments like surface cleaners, drain jetters, and extension lances are available for an additional fee. Please specify your requirements when booking to ensure you have all necessary equipment.
