Home Made Pressure Washer
After detailing my mates wife's car, we decided that suitable payment was a custom made Pressure Washer, seeing as he works for a large company that supplies to petrol stations, this wouldn't be a problem.
With quick-release connections for the lance and foam bottle its perfect for a quick swap, and I'm told that the pump is worth £170 on its own, I'm very grateful for the custom job, couldn't face forking out for an off the shelf washer. Cant lift the begger but thats why I stuck wheels on it.
Its got its own little dump valve too.....bless!!

absolutely no idea. How do you work that out??This any good for the mathematicians out there, guess you'll need to know the motor output too?
We had a larger second hand motor on to start with but the oil seals went so we replaced it with a brand spanker all-be-it-smaller. Didnt look as good then, before I got OCD on its ***!!!

Always wanted to build me own, domestic pressure washers cant get anywhere near the pressure of the commercial stuff (the washer at the last company I worked for was used (amongst other things) for carving me name in the (wooden) trailer floor!
howz'a'bout a shoppin list of stuff so I can make me own
p.s I only got sacked coz sum **** grassed me up fer writing me name in trailer floors,of course, the guy denied it!

Just been out in the dark foaming my mates car, it mega addictive. Had curtains twitching!!!
Took the specs off the motor, they are:
240v
50Hz
1380 r/min
2.2kw
13A
0.99 Cos
So can somebody work out what the flow and pressure is. Not that it matters not that it really matters its pretty difficult to hold with one hand!!!
