Tips To Buy Hot Water Pressure Washers for Outdoor Cleaning


Hot water pressure washers can be used to carry out all sorts of hard surface cleaning tasks. These can be used to clean outdoor areas like parks, walkways, and parking lots. Pressure washing machines are excellent machines for doing commercial cleaning jobs, such as auto detailing and cleaning retail stores. Finally, these machines are most suitable for doing industrial cleaning tasks, like heavy-duty industrial degreasing. This post deals only with choosing hot water pressure washers for outdoor cleaning.

Power Source
Pressure washing machines in Daimer®’s Super Max™ series have various kinds of power sources: diesel engine, gasoline engine, propane engine, or electric motor. Each type of power source has its own pros and cons, with no types having any distinct advantage over the other. Still, for outdoor use, it is better to use hot water pressure washers powered by gasoline or propane, like Daimer®’s Super Max™ 12500 GE. The major constraint of using electric machines is the lack of electric outlets in outdoor locations.

Flow Rate
Flow rate is the measure of quantity of water passed through the output of the machine per minute. Normally, the flow rate of hot water pressure washers increases as output pressure level increases. For outdoor cleaning, a high flow rate is not advisable in certain cases. For example, if the place does not have sufficient water runoff facilities, machines with a high flow rate might cause problems.
