3000 psi Pressure Washer
Medium to heavy duty 3000 psi electric pressure washer or gas powered versions are able to tackle
the toughest jobs. Depending on the model it can be equipped with an on-board detergent storage tank which will
make using detergents for those tough cleaning jobs easier. For lighter loads you can consider a less
powerful 2000 psi pressure washer, or if more power is needed, the next step up in class is a 4000 psi pressure
washer.
Gas powered engines are favored for durability and power. Generally, higher horsepower rating will
provide a stronger stream. Nozzle selection will also have an impact on pressure. Increasing the size of a
nozzle orifice effectively lowers the pressure produced while maintaining the flow output of the pump.
Decreasing the size orifice can increase pressure but it does reduce flow.
Karcher 3000 psi
Karcher models are praised for durability and reliability. In the consumer-grade class they are
sturdy machines backed by a solid warranty. The Karcher Axial Pump protects against hot water damage by venting
recirculated water. It is equipped with a 30-foot, non-marring high pressure rated hose. The ergonomic handle on
the gun is covered in a durable yet comfortable soft touch overmold grip. Stainless steel spray tube wand also has
a auto lock quick-connect coupler. You can attach a dual power soap nozzle for use with detergent.
An available Honda engine With two year factory warranty is tops in consumer reviews and is quiet
and easy to start. The precision welded chassis is finished with an all-weather, epoxy powder coat to protect your
investment for years. Tubed pneumatic tires give the unit superb mobility and can easily handle the roughest
terrain. For added convenience the wand and nozzle attachments are stored on the frame.
Ridgid 3000 psi
If you are looking for a quality 3000 psi pressure washer with a solid warranty you can't go wrong
with Ridgid. The powerful Ridgid RD80701 is equipped with a top quality
pump and an available Subaru OHV engine which meets California's strict emissions requirements. Rated at 3,000
pounds per square inch (psi) is powerful enough for restoring weather-beaten wood decks, removing tough stains
and even stripping paint. The flow rate of 2.6 gallons per minute (gpm) is more than adequate for consumer
applications.
Stainless steel spray wand with Quick-Connect coupler allows fast nozzle change capability for a
variety of different tasks. Three high pressure nozzle tips are included. A quick release fold down handle with
on-board accessory holder makes setting up and storing your unit fast and easy. A detergent control dial provides
convenient change-over between on-board tank to external container. A worthy alternative to both the Karcher and
Ridgid brands is a Honda pressure washer which should also be considered.
