How to choose a sink of high pressure

High pressure washing (it is a mini-washing, high pressure apparatus AVD) has long and firmly entered our life. She found its use in home and communal services, in the garage and at a construction site, at the household plot and the filling station. High pressure washers differ from each other compactness, productivity, scope (domestic and professional) and a number of other features.

It should be paid attention to the performance of the washing (water consumption per unit of time). If you plan to use a mini-sink from the case of a case for a car wash or agricultural tool on the site, you will be quite suitable for a small consumption unit - 7-8 liters per minute. For the washing of large volumes, an aggregate is required with a flow rate of up to 12 liters per minute or more.

Choose a sink for suitable pressure. For high-quality car wash, it is enough to 100 - 120 bar. There are models with a pressure of up to 150 bar, but they can already damage the car's paintwork. Sink with such feed pressure should be chosen for use in construction sites and in repair complexes.

Mini sinks differ from each other with high pressure water pump material. Pump can be both plastic and metal. For periodic use it is quite suitable for the unit with a cheaper, plastic pump. If the car wash is used regularly, you should pay attention to the device with a pump in a metal case.

Many manufacturers are silent about such an important parameter as a service resource. Here you need to focus on the price of mini-washing. Cheap devices are designed to wash one car per day for 5 years. More expensive - for service 6-7 cars at the same period.

It is advisable to choose a mini-sink with a system of automatic stopping unit when the key is released on the gun knob. This gives additional comfort when used and significantly prolongs the life of high pressure pump. This system is called TotalStop.

Pay attention to the possibility of applying additional accessories and their availability. At different manufacturers, they are not interchangeable. Therefore, if you plan to further increase the basic package of your mini-sink, and the seller's additional accessories are missing - it is worth refrangic from such a purchase.

Some sinks also have the ability to automatically feed the detergent into the jet. Before buying, it is also worth paying attention. Very convenient, especially when washing the car.

Be sure to check the presence of a specialized service center for servicing your mini-sink. Like any mechanical device, sooner or later it will require qualified intervention. And to send a few hundred kilometers to repair a fairly dimensional device is uncomfortable and expensive.

Well, finally, choose the device from the proven manufacturer. The choice is now large enough - it is Karcher, Makita, Black & Dekker, Bosch. Cheap Chinese aggregates, as a rule, do not correspond to the stated characteristics and do not live up to the end of the first season of use. Good luck to you in choosing!
