Anyone know of a good wall mounted electric power washer? I am thinking about mounting one next to my water heater and using water from it's tank as that water is 'softened' from my softener and would give me hot water with less water spots. Arizona water from the hose bibs is worthless for washes!
You might consider getting a warm-water electric like the
AR Blue Clean Professional AR630-TSS-HOT, and then make a DIY wall mount using heavy-duty shelf brackets. This unit is usually $769, but they have it on sale for $654.
I have this one, and it is a quality unit...triplex pump with brass head, ceramic plungers, more robust seals to handle the warm water. It is nothing like a budget-level electric that typically have lots of plastic parts.
And the best feature is that it has the auto start-stop, which means the pump only runs when you pull the wand trigger. This is nice, for not having all the noise (even though it is much quieter than a gas model), it is also much less wear on the unit since pump is only running when water is being used, and you don't have to keep running back to it to turn in off and on.
Also, some caution is needed when using hot water to wash your truck. Higher water temps (120-140 F) can strip waxes, and degrade sealants. When washing during the winter, I typically use 100-105 F water, which makes it possible to wash at temps just below freezing, and does not produce too much steam.
