The Myth of Wasted Water: Learn How Much Water a Pressure Washer Actually Uses

One of the reasons that consumers often think that pressure washers aren’t right for their needs is because they assume that they use a lot of water. The truth is that many people are surprised that not only do pressure washers often use less water than would be used via other methods, but there are ma

You’ll find a wide range of benefits of using pressure washers compared to garden hoses

Many homeowners will use their garden hose to complete tasks that could be more efficiently performed by a pressure washer. However, there are a number of ways in which using a pressure washer is better. First, you’ll cut down on water. Consider the increasing price of water, and the environmental reasons for cutting back, this can be a huge advantage.

Another advantage is that you save time. Why spend twenty minutes hosing down and scrubbing an area of your driveway that can be cleaned in just seconds with a pressure washer? When it comes to water savings and efficiency, the pressure washer has the garden hose beat.

Pressure cleaning equipment saves water in two ways

There are two ways water is saved when pressure cleaning equipment is used. First, the pressure washers use fewer gallons of water each minute. Consider that the average garden hose faucet gives eight gallons of water a minute. When outfitted with a spray nozzle, it uses an average of five gallons per minute.

Not only is the amount of water being used reduced per minute, but pressure washers take fewer minutes to work. Consider that the average garden hose gives about 10 pounds per square inch of pressure (PSI) and when fitted with a spray nozzle gets 50 PSI. The more pressure that’s there, the faster, more efficient your cleaning will be.

Now consider that the pressure washing systems from Hydro Tek only uses two to three gallons of water a minute. You’re already saving a ton of water with that, but then consider that the pressure gets much more intense. In fact, it can be as high as 2000 PSI. The steam from the washer allows the user to quickly and easily get rid of dirt, debris, grime, etc., which means that the job take less time overall. And this all translates to less water being used. Your water usage could down 75%.
