A pressure washer, a device powered by electric or gasoline engines, ejects water at high pressures to clean various surfaces. Originating in Europe in the 1950s, its utility in cleaning without detergents has popularized it across both domestic and industrial settings.
Widely utilized in homes, factories, and outdoor areas, pressure washers are adept at cleaning house exteriors, garden fixtures, vehicles, and more. Industrial applications extend to cleaning workspaces post-operation. However, caution is advised to prevent damage to sensitive surfaces like exterior paint.
Operating on Pascal's principle, pressure washers amplify water pressure through mechanical means, often by forcing water through narrow passages or around rapidly spinning impellers. This process can significantly increase water pressure, enhancing cleaning efficiency.
Selection criteria include discharge pressure, motor type, water supply method, nozzle design, and power supply:
Considerations for noise, mobility, water source, and specific cleaning tasks will guide your optimal choice of pressure washer.
