    Cost of Operation

    With rising fuel costs I thought this little table may be of value.. The cost comparison is based on an incremental increase of existing fuel. Pressure washers compared use the same pump/ motor and have similar heat rise values. Electrical rate is per kWh from Chicago, IL area electric...

    This is NOT intended to promote one product over another but merely as the subject says above and hopefully to educate the consumer... Recently I came across a reputable on-line retailer making certain claims that I would like to address. First, from a pure safety standpoint I have this...

    Just some thoughts

    There are no hard and fast rules about pressure washers. There are however some guidelines that people often overlook. Simply put in almost every case: flow is of much more value than pressure. Pressure is the easy part of the equation. There is no legitimate value to be derived from using...

    How about electrically heated???

    Epps manufactures a series of pressure washers, steam cleaners and combination units that heat water electrically. At 440 V 3 phase power they draw from 50-110 amps. Are they any good for your applications??? I don't know, but I have been asked to share what is up from a manufacturer's point...
