Do You Have Questions about Pressure Washers? Get Simple Answers Today

If you are working on buying a pressure washer, you likely have many questions. The good news is that you can simply contact Hydro Tek at 800-274-9376 to get the answers you need. In the meantime, you can also check out these answers to see if they provide the help you need.

How Much Pressure is Necessary When I Use a Pressure Washer?

That depends on how you will be using it. If you are using it at home to wash your car, the siding on your house, or your deck, you would likely need about 1,500 to 2,000 PSI. However, if you’re cleaning concrete or getting rid of barnacles from boat hulls, 3,000 PSI is more likely. On the other hand, industrial pressure washers should start at 3,000 PSI and go up based on what they will be doing.

What’s the Right Size Tip to Buy?

Choosing the right pressure washer tip is one of the most important decisions to make while choosing a pressure washer. Tips range from 2.0 to 15.0. IF you choose a tip that is too large you will have to deal with pressure loss. Think of what happens when you put your thumb over the opening of a hose – the larger the opening is, the less pressure you have.

If the tip is too small then you will have higher pressure than you want, belt slippage, higher amp draw, less discharge flow, premature wear to motors, pumps, and unloaders, and hot water discharge. We can help you determine the right-sized tip for your specific needs.

Would a Hot or Cold Water Pressure Work Best for My Needs?

Cold water is great for many different objects and services. It can be used on its own or with soap. Generally speaking, you will likely want cold water if the surfaces you will be cleaning do not have oil or grease. Cold water washers are more affordable to buy and to run.

On the other hand, hot water pressure washers are going to be the best option if you will be cleaning gum, grease, oil, and other sticky substances. Hot water uses can actually partially melt these substances to make them easier to get rid of – often without the need for detergents or soaps.

How Do I Find the Best Pressure Washer?

Contact Hydro Tek at 800-274-9376 . We can discuss your needs, your options, and the advantages of each option. We will ensure you have all the necessary information to make the right decision for your needs. Call us now and let us get started.

His goal was to provide both the fastest and the most durable pressure washers in the world.

As if that were not enough, he also wanted to create pressure washers that looked great and that had a unique style. He knew that it was not enough to create a pressure washer that was the longest lasting or one that worked the hardest – he wanted customers to not have to choose between the two.

We Have Continued to Grow Throughout the Years

You will find that each member of the Hydro Tek takes pride in what they do. We continue to research and develop to ensure that we are using the most efficient manufacturing process, that our products are the best in the business, and that we offer the best possible value in the competitive global market.

The more time you save, the more productive your company will be and the better your overall sanitation is likely to be. Consider that an employee tasked with sanitation who can get the job done in half the time is more likely to take the time to do it right.

  3. The Right Pressure Washer Can Prolong the Lifetime of Your Equipment
  4. Keeping agricultural equipment clean can help significantly prolong its lifetime. Clean equipment is likely to rust and it is easier to find minor defects before they become major issues. Our line of pressure washers and pressure washers accessories can keep your equipment clean and prolong its useful lifespan.

  5. The Right Pressure Washer is Easy to Use
  6. The easier a pressure washer is to use, the more likely it will be that it is used as often and as well as it should be. At Hydro Tek we provide not just powerful pressure washers but robust products that are easy to move around and use when and where you need them.

  7. The Right Pressure Washer Can Actually Save on Labor Costs

Learn How to Choose Between a Residential and Commercial Pressure Washer

Learn How to Choose Between a Residential and Commercial Pressure Washer

If you are in need of a pressure washer, there are a number of decisions you will have to make. The first one is likely to be whether you would be better served with a hot water pressure washer or a cold water pressure washer. Another essential question will be whether you would be better suited for a residential or a commercial pressure washer. Read on to learn the real differences between the two and then contact Hydro Tek at 800-274-9376 if you are looking for a pressure washer.

Residential Options Do Not Offer the Features and Durability That Professional-Grade Pressure Washers Do

If you buy a residential pressure washer for a commercial-strength need, you will soon realize that it has neither the features nor the durability to handle these extensive applications. This is not because residential units are of poor quality – it is just that a residential unit is made with different variables in mind. The commercial pressure washer is made to last and to offer extensive cleaning power.

Residential Pressure Washers Have Their Advantages

You may read the above paragraph and wonder: Why would I ever buy a residential pressure washer? The truth is that it has its advantages too. Mainly, it is more affordable. In fact, a commercial-grade pressure washer can be two or three times the cost of a residential pressure washer. That cost is well spent if a company uses their washer regularly for tough jobs.

However, if you are planning to use it once a month to power wash a deck, then it would likely not be worth it to pay for the commercial-grade option. Will it get the job done faster? Possibly. Will it last longer? It might – but the residential option can also get the job done quickly and can provide years of use.

Comparing the Power in a Residential and a Commercial-Grade Pressure Washer

It may seem that when you’re trying to get things clean, the more pressure the better. This is not always the case. One of the key decisions to make each time you use a pressure washer is how much pressure to use. If you use the top setting on a wood deck, for example, you will likely strip the deck clean. Likewise, cleaning a car with the highest possible pressure is a good idea only if you want to completely redo the paint job.

For this reason, choosing a pressure washer with the highest pressure is not always the best option. Instead, you can choose an option that has enough power for what you need. If you need more power than a residential machine can offer, then you may want to upgrade to an industrial option. If you have questions and want advice from the professionals, contact Hydro Tek at 800-274-9376 .

  • Hot Water Pressure Washer Applications

    A hot water pressure washer is essential for any cleanup job involving a sticky, greasy, or oily mess, as well as for applications where a surface must be sanitized. With a variety of models available, including self-contained mobile units with gas, diesel, or electric power, Hydro Tek hot water pressure washers can go anywhere and clean anything. Some common applications include heavy equipment cleaning, vehicle cleaning, graffiti removal, restaurant hood vent cleaning, and livestock facility cleaning.

Quality & Innovation Since 1985

Hydro Tek

From simple beginnings in 1985, Hydro Tek has grown to become the most trusted name in the pressure washer manufacturing industry.

How did we do it? By continually focusing on quality and reliability as the key to customer satisfaction, and by incorporating the latest technologies into our design and manufacturing processes.

By 1991, we were using computer-aided drafting systems to refine our product designs and improve efficiency. In 1997, we brought the power of computers to the shop floor by incorporating laser-cutting and other CNC manufacturing machinery, and in 2001 we began focusing on improving efficiency through the latest manufacturing techniques. The end result has been superior products delivered at a superior value to our customers. Through the next decade, we look forward to fulfilling our vision of making our products the "obvious choice" for all your industrial and commercial cleaning needs.
