In this article, we’re going to find out how a high pressure cleaner works and why it’s the solution you’ve been looking for for eco-friendly, recurring cleaning of your outdoor space!

What is a high pressure cleaner and how it works

A high pressure cleaner is a simple but highly effective device that uses the cleaning power of pressurized water to remove deep-seated dirt from all kinds of surfaces while avoiding damage to them.

Unlike the simple garden hose, which dispenses large amounts of water but at a very low pressure, the high pressure cleaner uses a high pressure pump that pushes water through a very small nozzle: thus the flow becomes a powerful, focused stream that can remove scale, sludge, mold, moss and debris that are difficult to remove manually.

Two main categories of this product are available:

• cold-water high pressure cleaners, which are more compact and ideal for recurrent cleaning of encrusted surface dirt, such as sludge, crushed stone, mold or for washing cars and vehicles in general;

• hot-water high pressure cleaners (can also be used with cold water), equipped with an internal coil that heats water. These models are especially ideal for removing the toughest and greasy dirt and acting deeply without using detergents or chemicals.

1. Connect the high-pressure hose, gun and selected accessory;
2. Connect the high pressure cleaner to the water supply with your garden hose equipped with quick couplings;
3. Connect the plug to the power outlet;
4. Operate the high pressure cleaner with the handy ON/OFF power button;
5. Press the gun lever to release the pressurized water and direct the spray where you need to operate.

• cleaning outdoor pavements, such as tile, concrete, stone, using the convenient patio cleaner;
• maintaining driveways and yards, removing mud, mold and leaves;
• cleaning facades and walls, with the removal of peeled plaster, graffiti and smog stains, through the use of the sandblasting lance;
• washing garden furniture or outdoor toys made of plastic or metal;
• washing cars, motorcycles and bicycles;
• cleaning swimming pools and surrounding areas;
  
• unclogging downspouts, gutters and manholes, using the pipe cleaning hose.

• concentrated jet nozzle, for removing tough dirt;
• fan nozzle, for washing large surfaces such as cars, boats and RVs;
• fixed and rotating brushes, ideal for acting effectively on hardened scale and mud;
• patio cleaner, for quick and uniform cleaning of large floors or for cleaning the bottom of the pool (when empty);
• telescopic lance, for roofs, walls and hard-to-reach areas;
• foaming kit, to use the chosen detergent when needed;
• pipe cleaning hose, to clear pipes, gutters and manholes from the inside.
• sandblasting lance, for metal gates, walls or plaster.

With these included or optional accessories, you can use your high pressure cleaner on many different occasions, making routine and extraordinary cleaning operations easy, fast and inexpensive, saving water, time and money.

• flow rate (l/h), the volume of water delivered, based on the type of surface you will need to clean;
