Outdoor pressure washing

[Old Coastie]

I've washed lots of houses and fanned acres of driveways, sidewalks and retaining walls. Now I am thinking of a flat surface cleaner.

I wore out the little plastic one from Home Depot, but it sure beats fanning. Any of you guru's know whether a skirted cleaner or one with castors is better, more versatile or whatever?

I'm looking at Whirlaway since they are reasonable and look stout.

with or with out recovery?

Without. Driveways and pavers and such.

Looks impressive. They don't make you recover your water there?

There's s power washing community group on FB. Bunch of assholes that won't answer questions properly.

But you're used to that here.

 

[Old Coastie]

Sums my life up, Marty...

Most of the companies here use the whirlaway. Even on roofs

Gene, I am dithering between the skirted model and the one with castors.

I PC the first 20 yrs of my business and the more you spend the more you get. Also the flow rate and pressure will change the type of unit. The one with wheels will move more dirt and water, but very important to know the local laws. Some jobs require all water to extracted and not allowed to run off , so the type of tile units we use would work well. jz.

At 3300psi and 3.2 gpm, I probably should stick to the whirl a way 16" model, not the 18" with castors. I decided to go rent each one and see how they do.

Smart man, rent before you buy.

Smart man, rent before you buy.

I like test runs too... But why buy the cow when you get the milk for free?!?

 

[Desk Jockey]

Eventually the cow gets wise and either buy it or look for an udder cow.

Pun intended.

 

[Old Coastie]

So.... Nobody in this small town rents them. Just big 28" models.

Called one company that sells them and the lady opined that I could buy a 24" model. Nonsense.

So, on we go...

never seen anyone here use the one with wheels. the skirted model floats and they use them on the roofs here. I'm sure they do, I've just never noticed.
