Power washer??

[Money2536]

Well...I've become a bit of an expert on this topic. The unfortunate thing here is you have 2 options, cheap and uber-expensive.

What power washer do you use?

 

[rohardi]

I'm still looking to figure out a good system to clean my truck in my Garage. I have an underground parking garage in my building with access to electric but no hose... On my previous cars I have used the 2 bucket method with options no-rinse, But I eellike that will take too long with the Raptor. Is there a power washer that can hook up to a large container of water and use a foam canon?

Well if I don't want to spend a 1000 dollars for a power washer what would you recommend just to use to wash my truck and cars with a foam cannon?

MTM foam cannons are made for gas high pressure washers FYI. Won't work right with electric.

Not true. It works with any pressure washer between
1100-5000 psi and 1.8-5.3 gpm.

I have used mine with a Karcher K3 and a K5. Works great.

Just to clarify, I had told Azholly that of the two that we sell, the Adam's Red Foam Cannon is better suited to budget-level electric pressure washers, and the MTM Foam Cannon works a little better with the more powerful gas pressure washers.

That's not to say the MTM won't work with an electric PW, just that you might find that you get a little thicker foam with the Adam's model on a electric PW. Note that this does vary a little between different brands of pressure washers, and on the ratings on the electric PW (budget-level vs pro-level), and also varies with how much shampoo is used in the cannon.

It is important to note that MTM actually makes two different versions of that particular cannon. The one geared towards the budget-level electrics has a smaller orifice (1.1mm, model #14.0349), and then the version that crash457 linked, which has a larger orifice (1.25mm, model #14.0263), works better with gas pressure washers.

My pressure washer is the AR Blue Clean AR630-TSS-HOT, which is a pro-level electric, and I do get thicker foam with the Adam's Red Foam Cannon than the MTM Foam Cannon model that has the larger orifice (#14.0263).

While we are on the subject of Pressure Washers, Has anyone built their own w/ electric motor? Any pro grade electric pressure washers are expensive over 1-2k at the minimum..

Been looking at Cat Pumps, can pick one up from 250-500 bucks depending on GPM and PSI. The only problem im having is figuring out what kind of motor i would need, already know its going to be 240volt, toss a inline GFCI and a Flow Switch maybe a timer for the switch and should be good..

Thanks for clarifying

 

[jeremyespinoza]

What are those going for?

 

[jeremyespinoza]

I'm sure they have some at Home Depot or lowes

I have one with the same engine. It has been a workhorse for at least 15 years.

I have the same one also for about 4 years. Forgot to drain the gas one winter, and the carb clogged up. Instead of cleaning it, I found the Honda carb on the internet for only $19.

This thing has been bulletproof.
