When you work in the garden and need to irrigate, do you use a garden hose to do it? A garden washer is much more practical. How do you choose the best one?
Summer is the time of year for all garden chores, especially those related to cleaning and washing. Usually you would manage with a garden hose, after all this is the most practical source of water in the garden. But there is a way to clean even faster, cheaper and with less water. We can reduce cleaning time with high-pressure devices, and one of them is a washer.
Pressure washer – how does this device actually work? It is nothing but a kind of compressor whose task is to increase the pressure of water supplied to it. Of course, pressure washers are not constructed identically. The construction of the device depends on its type and application. However, what are the universal parts that should be included in a pressure washer? First of all, it is a hose connected directly to the water source
The base component of a pressure washer is also a pressure pump, which, as the name suggests, is responsible for generating optimal water pressure. But how to choose the best pressure washer for our garden? After all, it is known that these devices have different power, efficiency and the so-called working pressure. There are several criteria that should guide us when choosing a washer. First of all, its parameters are important. So we have to take into account what kind of garden works we intend to perform with the device and adjust its power to them. After all, there is no point in buying a high-pressure cleaner if we are only going to use it to clean easy external surfaces – high power of the device will be unnecessary. The higher the pressure in the washer, the more difficult works can be done with its help.
Certainly, most people who are considering whether to invest in a pressure washer want to know how this device actually works. Well, the water for the pressure washer spray gun is supplied by a high-pressure hose. Any type of pressure washer obviously needs a power source to work efficiently and effectively.
There are several types of these devices available on the market, and they are mainly divided into those equipped with a combustion engine, electric or battery-powered. They differ not only in parameters, but also in equipment. However, we can classify them into two groups, namely hobby and professional washers (such devices are mainly equipped with combustion engines). For domestic works in the garden, we should of course reach for a washer belonging to the group of hobbyist devices. Professional ones are used mainly in industrial plants, where working conditions are difficult.
When deciding to buy a pressure washer for your garden, you have to take into account your personal goals and needs. We can choose additional accessories for our washing device, such as a rotary brush, thanks to which you can easily clean the facade or the terrace. Some models of washers are already equipped with helpful components.
