Top pressure washers for 2022

Universal high-pressure cleaners help to quickly and effectively deal with contamination of any surfaces. The scope of their application is very extensive - from car washes to country houses, where they become indispensable helpers when washing facades, siding, paths, garden tools and furniture, and, in some cases, pets.

The presented review discusses the principles of operation, classification, as well as the characteristics of products, the study of which will help you figure out how to choose the right model, how much the right device costs and which company is better to buy.

Purpose and principle of operation

A high pressure washer is a powerful jet device for cleaning the surface of dirt, mold, old coatings or corrosion.

Applications

The product belongs to the multi-purpose cleaning equipment, it is used in various areas of human activity for washing or cleaning:

• automotive or other equipment;

• production sites and premises;

• pools;

• garden furniture;

• sidewalks and terraces;

• facades and sidings;

• carpets;

• food products during industrial processing.

Now this unit can be found in the economy of many owners of country houses, as well as in production and construction sites. It turned out to be a popular product, which contributes to the growth of the range of affordable and compact models available to everyone.

General scheme of work

1. Water enters the device from a separate tank or water supply through a non-return valve or a coarse filter.
2. The motor starts the pump, which creates pressure in the system and supplies water to the hose with a gun.
3. The spray nozzle, controlled by the operator, sends a stream of water towards the surface and cleaning is performed.

Advantages

This versatile product has a number of advantages:

• contactless cleaning;
• good pressure and large jet;
• speed of work;
• low water consumption;
• good mobility;
• compactness;
• the ability to clean hard-to-reach places;
• ease of operation;
• pressure regulation.

Components and device

The prototype of a modern mini-sink is a bulky stationary pumping station, developed by the German engineer Alfred Karcher in the middle of the last century.

The main difference from a simple pump was the use of a special nozzle, where air is mixed into the pressure, enhancing the destructive effect. The jet is separated by air into separate droplets that have surface tension, which increase the "impact force" at the point of contact with the surface.

Motor

One of the main components of the washing unit drives and ensures the operation of the pump - the more power, the faster the pump rotor rotates and heats up less. It can be of two types depending on the power:

• electric motor:
  • from AC mains 220V or 380V;
  • from the battery;

• internal combustion engine:
  • on gasoline;
  • on diesel fuel.

To prevent overheating due to increased loads, it is necessarily equipped with a cooling system.

In addition, it is planned to install a protection circuit, which, when the set value is reached, can turn off the engine or switch the pressure to the inlet hose. Additionally, to protect against moisture, the motor housing is closed with a special waterproof casing.

Pump

The central component of the sink, on which the performance and stability of the entire device depends. It is designed to suck water from the source, to supply it to the outlet chamber to create high pressure there up to 200 bar.

Piston pumps with an inclined disk that regulates pressure are usually used.

The body is made of plastic (unreliable for long-term loads) or metal. Aluminum pumps are limited to connection to hot water up to 40 degrees. With a brass pump, there are fewer problems, the resource is the largest, and it can also be connected to a line with temperatures up to 60 degrees. However, the cost is much higher and it is installed on products with a pressure of more than 120 bar.

Supply hose

Suctions water from a source, which can be:

• open barrel;
• cistern or tank;
• central plumbing.

When connected to the main line, it is equipped with a valve to prevent breakage at maximum pressure.

pressure hose

Due to the need to withstand high pressure, it is made rigid. Mandatory certification requires an excess of strength by 10%.

The required length is calculated from the intended use of the product. For example, for cleaning garden droshky or facades, it is better to select hoses up to 7-8 meters long, professional hoses up to 20 meters long.

Nozzles with gun

The washing gun can be considered as part of the pressure hose, because it opens or closes the pressure outlet. The most important task is to provide the operator with free access to the washing surface. It must have a rotating head to direct the jet where required.

The standard equipment contains several nozzles that differ in the shape of the brushes and the water flow created:

• fan - flat jet and cleaning of areal surfaces;
• mud - quick cleaning of dried-on contaminants;
• rotating - cleaning tracks;
• with a nozzle - applying foam;
• sponge - rubbing detergents;
• mop - cleaning with hard bristles;
• cone - cleaning hard-to-reach places;
• hydrosandblasting - cleaning of hard-to-remove contaminants with sand particles.

Frame

It is made of durable materials that can withstand mechanical stress during intensive use. High-quality steel does not lend itself to deformation, but it rusts from moisture and requires an anti-corrosion coating.

The design of the housing provides protection against ingress of dust, as well as moisture to prevent short circuits.

Automatic shutdown

An automatic control sensor is installed at the outlet of the pump. The functionality provides that in the event of excessive pressure, the engine is automatically turned off.

Detergent tank

Manufacturers offer solutions:

• built-in tank;

• connecting the tank with the nozzle to the gun.

Power cable

Designed to connect the product to the mains. It must be with reliable moisture resistance and a protection class that ensures operation in case of exposure to direct water flow. The socket must be equipped with grounding.

Classification and characteristics

Washers are divided according to various parameters.

Purpose:

• Household mini-sink - the possibility of continuous daily operation for no more than two hours with a working pressure of 20 - 225 bar, as well as a flow rate of up to 1200 l / h. Usually used in utility rooms, garages or for summer cottages.
• Professional car wash - for continuous operation during the working day with a maximum pressure of up to 500 bar, and a flow rate of up to 2500 l / h.

Power supply type:

• electric:
  • DC voltage 12V (battery operation);
  • single-phase mains voltage 220-230V;
  • three-phase industrial mains voltage 380V;
• from the internal combustion engine:
  • petrol;
  • diesel.

Placement method:

• stationary - units installed at car washes or construction sites, connected to the main water supply and power grid, designed for a long period of operation;
• mobile - products on wheels with long hoses that allow you to clean hard-to-reach surfaces.

Water heating:

• with heating - cleaning heavily soiled surfaces, as well as in cold conditions or in the absence of hot water. Heating is carried out using a diesel burner, which increases the dimensions and weight of the product;
• without heating - small compact sinks with adjustable pressure of the water jet.

Functional characteristics

1. Working pressure - the power of the pressure coming out of the gun. A jet that is too strong can damage the coating of the surface to be cleaned. For domestic use, the maximum pressure usually does not exceed 160 bar.
2. Productivity - the flow rate of water passed by the pump per unit of time, and the ability to work continuously. Depends on the level of water intake, on average it is up to 400 l / h.At lower values, cleaning results may not be very good. For professional equipment, this figure reaches 1000 l / h and more.
3. Motor power consumption - determines the speed of rotation of the rotor and the power of the pump.
4. Intake method - the ability to connect to a water supply system, draw water from a tank, or both options at the same time. The depth of the fence must be indicated.
5. The presence of a tank for detergent - the convenience of working when it is necessary to use detergents.
6. Hose length - the need to move the device and the ability to withstand high pressure without deformation. Selection is carried out depending on the required conditions, but preferably at least five to seven meters.
7. The weight of the product can be very different - from three to 230 kg. Depends on the installed motor and pump, as well as the material of manufacture.

Step by step instructions and selection criteria

1. Before proceeding with the selection of a specific model, it is necessary to consider the planned purpose and frequency of use.

Usually at home there is no need for a professional model. The price of such a product is influenced by its resource. A mini-wash with a resource of 50 hours is suitable when used for a car in the summer for 10-15 minutes two to three times a week. It is used only for industrial or domestic use - do not wash people and animals!

2. Examine pump body materials:

• composite - fragile to water hammer;
• silumin - an inexpensive but brittle alloy of aluminum and silicon;
• plastic - inexpensive and lightweight, but with low wear resistance, subject to low temperatures;
• brass is strong and resistant to oxidation, but expensive.

The best options for making pistons are cermet or steel. If there is no indication in the product description of the material of this part, it is better to refrain from buying and not risk your money.

3. Select the appropriate pressure.

When used only for a car, a mini-wash with a pressure of 130-140 bar is suitable.

4. Consider a suitable power source and the need for autonomous operation without connection to the mains.

5. Select the engine power corresponding to the pressure value in order to avoid interruptions in work.

6. Check the availability of the function with water intake from the tank without access to the water main.

7. Find out the need for heating to disinfect or quickly defrost the surface, as well as the use of detergent.

8. Pay attention to the purification of water from impurities.

Commonly used filters are:

• fine cleaning - included in the product package;
• coarse cleaning - purchased separately, installed independently.

9. Familiarize yourself with the completeness of conventional or special nozzles.

If it is necessary to frequently wash a large SUV that regularly goes fishing, hunting or "Invasion", there must be a mud cutter.

In addition, it is necessary to consider buying an additional pressure hose connected to the standard hose with a detachable fitting so as not to move the device during a full wash.

10. Inquire about the possibility of repairing individual pump components.

If a non-separable pump fails, the replacement cost can cost 70% of the original price of the entire product.

11. The most important step is to determine the budget.

Products from well-known manufacturers will cost more than products from Chinese or Russian companies. However, when deciding which model is better to buy, it makes sense to look not at the price, but at the manufacturer.

A branded device from a time-tested company embodies the quality of materials used, parts, production and control, as well as a mandatory guarantee.
