Are You Trigger Happy? If you are, nothing gives you greater satisfaction than to blast away dirt and debris with pressure washers off your dirty driveways, your patios, decks, dirt bikes, moss-ridden walls and the list goes on. What you need is the Power Pressure Washer, of course, which includes a high pressure pump, water hose, spray hose and nozzle which forms the gun, and the electrical cord where you tap power to drive your machine. Turn on the water tap connected to your hose, switch on the AC, turn on the electric power button on the machine, and you are good to go.
Power Washing Physical Hazards
On key note you must be aware is to take caution when handling the spray nozzle. The least pressure you could get in the market depending on the brand is about 1,200 PSI to 1,400PSI which is a powerful force to contend with, especially when this is the first time you are using your power pressure washer. How to use the spray - adjust the distance of the spray nozzle to the surface to be cleaned, confine spraying to inanimate objects and surfaces only, do not aim at human. (NOTE - this is NOT a water gun, regardless of how fun and trigger happy you have become with the machine) In fact, when mishandled, the force of the water spray could actually badly sear skin surfaces and cause severe lesions.
Handle with Care Lest You Will Need to Get New Fixtures
There are also commercial pressure washers which are much more powerful than one would deem fun when it comes to washing hazards. The power of your pressure washing mean stripping paint off your fence, peeling the wood off your deck, denting sand walls and cars if you apply the wrong pressure or the wrong distance. There are incidents when amateur users gorge their wooden flooring at the porch and up heave the sidings well manicured garden.
When you are cleaning the exterior of the building, especially the sidings of your office building or home, do not forget your interior. To prevent water seepage, ensure that side windows are tightly shut and all louvers are securely blocked up before you start your power pressure washers.
Power Pressure Washer Art Anyone?
My personal experience and target time to beat is 40 minutes for cleaning up my driveway, a rather difficult time to beat if you take into account my perfectionist nature to clean every nook and crevasse. Not to mention that I do indulge in some sort of new art form that I personally deem as Power Pressure Washer Art which literally makes you feel like a master artist, what with endorsing your “art piece” with your signature at the end.
So, Power Pressure Washing can be a lot of fun and even takes on as a new art form at power pressure washer art, if safety rules are abided by.
