Advantages of High Pressure Washers with Low Flow Rates

High pressure washers are excellent cleaning machines designed to maintain a range of different surfaces such as patios, concrete sidewalks, roads, industrial machinery, farm equipment and vehicles. However, did you know that many of these power cleaners can help conserve your water usage? Let us see how this works.

Many high pressure washers from Daimer® feature low flow rates as low as 0.5 GPM. If you are using water from a garden hose to clean your car, remember that the hose will release about 6 – 10 gallons of water a minute. However, a power cleaning system not only offers more powerful cleaning, but often uses much less water. So, if you would like to do your share in conserving water, you can easily do so by using high pressure washers with low flow rates.

The Super Max™ 6120SCW is one of the most powerful cleaning units from Daimer® that is notable for its low flow rates. The pressure levels of 1000 psi have made this power cleaner popular for car detailing applications without damaging the exterior of the car. Low flow rates of 0.5 GPM allow you to take your time in cleaning cars without worrying about water wastage or EPA fines. Low flow rates also make the power cleaning unit safe for use on surfaces such as car engines.

By attaining steam temperatures of up to 250ºF, these high pressure washers easily dissolve tough deposits such as caked on mud, bird discharge, and tree sap and grease deposits. Super-heated steam at the right pressure level helps clean different surfaces of vehicles such as the exteriors, wheels, glass, and engine.

How to Buy High-Pressure Washers

While buying high pressure washers is a good choice for tackling tough cleaning tasks, it can be difficult to know which is the best machine to buy. If you are not familiar with power washers, it can be confusing to know what features to look for and how to decide which machine is the best for you. Daimer® recommends that you ask yourself a few important questions prior to buying high pressure washers. After all, this is an important investment and asking the right questions ahead of time can ensure you buy the best machine possible for your needs.

First, you need to figure out whether you will need a stationary or mobile unit. If your cleaning job involves a lot of moving around, it would be best to look for portable and mobile units. You should also consider fuel options. If most of your cleaning work will be outdoor or away from a ready electrical supply, it is best to look for propane-, diesel-, or gasoline-powered units. For very rugged cleaning jobs, like heavy grease removal, steam pressure washing units may be ideal. For lighter jobs that deal with sticky or hardened debris, hot water high pressure washers are a better option. Cold water units are best suited for light cleaning jobs. Machines such as Daimer®’s Super Max™ 6000 feature tri-mode capabilities, offering cold water, hot water, and steam temperature settings up to 386°F.

When choosing high pressure washers, make sure that you know what kind of pressure levels you will require. If you are concerned about water wastage or incurring fines for water run-off, consider looking at machines that have low water flow rates.
