Dos and Don'ts of High Pressure Washers



High pressure washers, as their name suggests, are machines that provide high-powered output. The major source of power is their high output pressure, which can range up to 8000 psi, depending up on the model. Any pressure washing machine with an output pressure exceeding 300 psi can be labeled a high pressure machine. This post deals with some of the dos and don'ts of high pressure washers.

Industrial Degreasing
Pressure washers are the best machines for industrial degreasing. The high pressure output of these machines, such as Daimer®’s 12860 pressure washer can blast away dirt and grease from almost any kind of industrial equipment. When choosing machines for degreasing, opt for heated machines. Non-heated machines will cause the grease to clump.

Graffiti Removal
Another top use of high pressure washers is graffiti removal. Pressure washing machines are ideally made for cleaning building walls and compound walls. These machines pump their output onto walls to wash away graffiti. Cleaning workers must ensure the output of the machine is not directed toward soft surfaces in the vicinity.

Auto Detailing
High pressure washers are often not ideal for auto detailing, as high pressure levels can cause dents and scratches on vehicle. Pressure washers can be used for auto detailing, but the output pressure level should not exceed 1500 psi.
