Using a Pressure Washer Correctly

Pressure washers can reduce water use 4 times, 8 times and even 10 times the normal rate by pressurizing it, then discharging it through specifically designed wants and tips that produce different types of spray that fit in line with whatever the job may be.

Things to focus on in 2022:

Reducing water usage, increasing washing efficiency, reducing liability.

A standard garden hose discharges water at an average rate of 10 gallons per minute. If a business uses the hose water for 5 mins per application, five times a day, that comes out to 250 gallons per day of water use. Using a simple calculation, one can determine that a business can easily use over 65,000 gallons of water per year. Lets now compare it to a pressure washer. A standard pressure washer uses about 3.5 gallons per minute. The pressure washer cuts the work time from 5 mins to 3 mins but still washing the same amount, times five. That’s 52.5 gallons of water per day. Using the same calculation, we come to a total water usage of 13,650 gallons per year.

Using a pressure washer on every day chores will dramatically reduce the water consumption and increase efficiency. For more information on pressure washers, visit www.ushydrotech.com
