WHY USE A HIGH-PRESSURE WASHER?

Powerful enough to tackle the toughest dirt, high-pressure washers deliver water at up to 50 times the pressure of a normal hosepipe whilst using substantially less water. This means they…

  • Save time
  • Save water & money
  • Ensure powerful cleaning performance
  • Require less effort to use
  • Protect the environment

BEFORE YOU START

Using a high-pressure washer is easy. All you need is:

  • A water tap
  • Tap connectors
  • A garden hose
  • An electrical supply

For the best results whatever you’re cleaning, follow these simple steps:

  • Always bleed the air from your machine. To do this...
    • Connect the hose
    • Turn on the water
    • Pull the trigger until the water runs smoothly (this may take a few minutes)
    • Switch on your machine
  • Use specialised brushes and detergents for enhanced performance

SAFETY SENSE

High-pressure washers are simple to use but are extremely powerful and must always be handled with care. Remember…

  • Always wear protective clothing, especially safety goggles
  • Never point the gun at yourself or others
  • Only use in secure environments where you have complete control of the gun. Using one up a ladder, for example, is extremely dangerous
