Power, effectiveness and versatility are the characteristic traits of the pressure washer.
This tool is used in both domestic and professional environments to remove dirt, through the power of a high-pressure water jet delivered by the gun of the pressure washer.
To choose the best pressure washer, you must consider the cleaning efficiency, which is the combination of flow rate and pressure.
The flow rate is the amount of water the pressure washer can deliver in a period.
On the other hand, the pressure is determined by the power of the jet. The higher the pressure, the greater the dirt removal and the shorter the usage time.
When choosing the best hydro cleaner, the structure of it is also taken into consideration. In fact, some models also require the use of a specific detergent, which is distributed from the integrated tank.

Motor power supply |
Powered by an electric motor, the domestic-type pressure washer has the advantage of being easily transportable. In fact, if combined with a special trolley, it can become a portable pressure washer. |
It can be powered by an internal combustion engine or an electric motor. The advantage in the first case is the possibility to work even without an electrical network. |
Water temperature |
A cold-water pressure washer is used in this type of setting, as household dirt is unlikely to consist of oil and grease. |
The working environment is more prone to oily type dirt. This is exactly why a hot water pressure washer is perfect for degreasing operations. |
