Default Power washers.


"Evelyn wrote in message
Two years ago I bought a Kracker(sP) washer. I gave my friend a use of it.

However she
has since had a neighbours one and she said it was much more powerful and

did the job
in quarter the time. Any comments would be appreciated as I am now

thinking of
replacing mine. Mine cost about £100 from BQ

Two things affect the speed of power washing, the pressure of the spray
normally quoted in "Bar" and the type of nozzle used.
Find out what "Bar" the other person's one has, the higher the better. Most
are around 1 bar.

For cleaning paving I use a "Turbo" nozzle (Kew machine) , it's very
abrasive and my friends wooden garden bench can prove it, it ripped into the
wood. For goodness sake don't forget and use it on the car!!
