Types of Power Washer Parts

The major parts of power or pressure washers are as follows:

Pump: The pump or the most important washer part. With its engine, it is what creates the necessary power or pressure. It draws water from an inlet pipe and then pushes the water out with force. The degree of power is measured in PSI and GPM. PSI means pounds per square inch and it indicates water pressure and GPM means gallons per minute or the flow of water. The higher the PSI and the GPM, the higher the power.

Pressure Hoses: The hoses are the pipes that let out the pressured water. Therefore, they must be strong enough to handle the pressure and the temperature in case of hot washers according to the pump.

Heating components : This includes boilers, coils and burners.

Electrical Components: This includes various switches, cables, lights, timers, thermostats, temperature controls and other such necessary operating helpers.

Nozzle or the trigger: This is an important power washer part. This not only controls the flow but also adjusts water pressure. The nozzle at different angle produces different pressures. The smallest angle gives highest pressure. This part is one that you will become very familiar with as you use the power washer.

Other power washer parts are components such as detergent injectors and different types of frames.

Special Power Washer Parts

Some special power parts are not necessarily found in all types of washers available in the market, but are very useful if the washers have them.

While a GFCI in your washer protects you from accidental electrocution, a storage rack, a safety relief valve and water tank will no doubt are of great use.

Now that you know all about power washer parts, all you need to do is to intelligently find a good manufacturer and start your war against dirt, grime and grease and make your life cleaner and happier!
