A Guide to Cold Water Commercial Pressure Washers



Most commercial pressure washers are hot water pressure cleaners or steam pressure washers. Cold water machines generally lack the power of heat to handle certain commercial applications. Still, cold water pressure washers are widely used for commercial cleaning applications. The main advantage is their cost effectiveness.

In addition, these machines can be used on any surface that can be cleaned by a pressure washer. That is because some surfaces cannot withstand the high temperature outputs of heated machines, and therefore hot water and steam machines cannot be used on them. Cold water commercial pressure washers have no such constraints.

Prospective buyers of cold water machines need to check many factors before making the purchase decision. The following tips would be of help.

Flow Rate, Pressure Levels, and Technology

The output pressure of pressure washers ranges up to 8000 psi, depending upon the model. For commercial cleaning purposes, machines having a pressure level of around 1750 psi electric pressure washer to 3000 psi are suitable.

Flow rate is a specification that many people often overlook when considering pressure washers. Flow rate indicates the quantity of water passing through the machine per minute. It can vary from 0.5 GPM to 7 GPM. Normally, flow rate increases with output pressure. However, commercial pressure washers with low flow rates are required in places with low drainage facilities. Because they lack heat, cold water pressure washers often have higher flow rates to make up for the lack of heat.

Daimer® retails a number of machines with AST® technology. This Automatic Shut-off Technology® helps reduce the wear and tear of the machine by automatically shutting it off after 30 seconds of non-use. It can then be easily turned back on again by using the trigger gun. This technology is available on all of Daimer®'s electric-powered cold water pressure cleaners.
