What is a High Pressure Water Cleaner?

A high pressure water cleaner (or high pressure cleaner) is a device you can attach to a water hose to clean a number of surfaces with pressurised water.

The key part of the cleaner is the pump, which may be run by electricity or petrol. Petrol cleaners can reach pressures of up to 4000 psi (pounds per square inch) or 280 bar, while electric cleaners generally produce less pressure.

Electric High Pressure Water Cleaners are widely available at DIY stores such as Bunnings or Hardware Warehouse. These models tend to be perfect for small jobs, such as cleaning your car, window or a lightly soiled driveway. Once these machines are used to try and remove more stubborn dirt we find they are no so effective as they simply don’t have the required pressure.

Our high pressure machines feature a hose that feeds water to the wand or handle, which has an easy-to-use trigger switch. All our machines enable us to adjust the pressure to suit the task at hand, which is important as too much pressure and you’ll damage the underlying surface, and too little, and the dirt will not be removed.
