Pressure Washer Tips

Great segment from the Ask the Builder blog regarding pressure washers and how to use them safely. Most likely not much to worry about if you are going to be using a smaller electric pressure washer like a Campbell Hausfeld or Powerwasher, but if you have something a little bigger like a Briggs and Stratton pressure washer, or something really big like a Mi-T-M or Simpson pressure washer, it's always good to have a refresher course.

Build Your Own Snow Machine

This is from the "so easy, why didn't I think of it" files.

Found this great little clip on making your own snow using only an air compressor, some tubing and a pressure washer. Might be a little late for this season, but this idea would probably work equally as well scaled down and applied to your deck or backyard in the summer for the kids to play in.

ULTIMATE POWER!!!

I love this unit, the HSE-2003-0M10 - HSE Series 2000 PSI Hot Water Electric Pressure Washer is a beast at just under 400lbs and pushing 2.8 gallons per minute at 250 degrees, doesn't matter what you are tyring to clean or blast away -nothing can stand up to it. Mi-T-M's units are always a little more expensive, but they are rental grade so they are gonna last. (link)

It’s Pressure Washer Season

Best Choice– Campbell Hausfeld PW1810

Seems like the industry consensus is that the CH is gonna take best in show for the residential market for the 2007 season. The Campbell Hausfeld PW1810 is really getting off the chart reviews in the media and from people in the industry. I haven't used this one myself, but I know people at CH, and I know they were excited with the way this unit turned out. It's a perfect balance of function and value for the home user or a very light industrial application, and the price. People I talked to let me know they are selling really well –I think most places are out of them now for the next two weeks, from what I hear picking one up by Mid-April should be no problem. I know its going to be the big winner this year though, people know the Campbell Hausfeld name and they trust it. The PW1810 should last be able to get the job done for you, provided you take care of it and store it properly –for years to come. (link)
