Vital Specifications of High Pressure Washers


Super Max™ 15800

When selecting high pressure washers, one must consider various factors before making a decision. Selecting the wrong machine can do more harm than good. Knowing what you will use the machine for will help you understand what technologies and features you need for a safe and effective cleaning operation.

Output Pressure

Daimer®, a reputable supplier of cleaning machines, supplies pressure washers that can reach up to 8000 psi. Although higher pressure levels often mean increased power, the force of the water may damage certain surfaces. For instance, auto detailing applications require a pressure level no higher than 1500 psi. However, high pressure washers are often used for applications such as industrial degreasing.

Output Temperature

Output temperature is an important consideration for high pressure washers. Pressure washing machines offer three types of output: cold water, hot water, and steam. Many of Daimer®’s machines in their Super Max™ series, such as the Super Max™ 15800, feature tri-mode capabilities with non-heated output at room temperature, hot water up to 210°F, and steam temperatures of 330°F. Ultimately, machines with high steam temperatures up to 330°F have maximum pressure levels of 3500 psi. Since steam greatly increases cleaning power, high pressure levels up to 8000 psi are not required.
