Best Wall Mounted Electric Pressure Washer Buying Guide
Do you find yourself pressure washing in the same spot over and over?
Then a wall mount pressure washer is for you.
When I designed the two-bay truck wash for a rendering plant I put a wall mounted electric pressure washer in each. It made no sense to have portable pressure washers because the 50′ hose length was more than enough to reach around and on top the trucks. Those wall mount units were hooked up to a heated (160 F / 71 C) water supply, which most wall mount units can deal with.
I’ve also seen many warehouses, factories and manufacturing plants fitted with wall mount electric pressure washers at strategic points to make cleaning quick and easy.
How were the best chosen?
- Reliable and durable.Wall mounted electric pressure cleaners are always industrial grade because they are used by many people everyday. For this reason they need to be equipped with the best pumps, motors and valves to be durable and reliable.
- Cleaning power. When it comes to pressure cleaning: flow rate is king, soap/detergent is queen and the pressure is prince. You can easily change the pressure by changing nozzles and the distance you are from the surface. That is why when you buy a wall mount machine for everyday use it should have above 2 GPM flow rate minimum and the ability to siphon soap/detergent.
- Design and features. Does the unit come with a good hose reel? Can the power washer pump handle heated water? Is the enclosure sturdy for industrial environment?
That criteria is how the best 2 wall mount electric power washers were chosen. Here they are:
