How to choose the right water pressure cleaner?

The answer is both the factors are equally important when choosing this product. There has to be the perfect combination of both to have the ideal cleaner for your needs.
- Pressure alone with low volume will only result in tearing and damaging things with no coverage whatsoever. So a high GPM (gallons per minute) with a low PSI ( Pounds per square inch) will lead you nowhere as you need the volume to back things up or you’ll only get the surface cleaned in half the places.
- The correct amount of pressure will give you ability to penetrate enough through the surface dirt and the correct amount of volume will give you speed and move the dirt over a fairly large area. So, for large areas, make sure you have a pressure cleaner with a high GPM.
- There are different kinds of pressure cleaners having different GPM and PSI combinations catering to your different cleaning needs. For example:
- 2GPM and 1500 PSI- Suitable for auto detailing.
- 3-4 GPM and 2000 PSI- Light to medium duty washers suitable for cleaning of small equipment.
