Enhance Your Power Washing Business With Pressure Washer Accessories

Once you’ve made the initial investment of a good, powerful pressure washer it will benefit you to take some time to explore all of the pressure washer accessories available. Pressure washer accessories can optimize the list of services you can offer customers and put you ahead of your competitors.

Pressure washer accessories, such as GFCI cords and plugs, brass couplings, hose restrictors, good pressure gauges, winterizing kits, battery boxes, unloader valves can extend the life of your existing equipment. They can also just simply make your job easier and more professional looking.

To expand the list of services you offer, consider adding a sand blaster (medium to Heavy Duty equipment is available) or sewer jetter (can clean pipes and tubes from 1” –6” in diameter) to your system. Chemical injectors are a necessity when you need the extra cleaning power of chemicals. There are high or low-pressure chemical kits with adjustable chemical injectors. There are metering valves, nozzles for distance or maximum pressure, and systems that save your pump, lance, hose and gun by having the chemicals by-pass them.

Add the service of duct cleaning to your repertoire, and shine above the competition even more. Made to be corrosion-resistant and with self-lubricating bearings, the Swiss made carbide swivel duct cleaner is one great pressure washer accessory. Working with hot or cold water, duct cleaners clean any kind of duct, vent, chimney, or chute. And don’t forget the market for cleaning restaurant hoods and trash chutes and even kegs and barrels.

Some surfaces can be cleaned with pressure and cold water alone, but many cleaning jobs will go faster with (and some downright require), hot water. If you don’t yet have the power of hot water, it should be one of your next pressure washer accessories. There are many types to choose from that can be added to existing cold water pressure units.

If you want to help the environment, there is another good pressure washer accessory to help you do so. The “wash Water Filter system” protects the environment by re-using wash water that has been filtered. When power washing floors, driveways, or any flat surface, this system harbors, collects, and then filters the dirty water. Using portable dams and drain covers, and a closed vacuum, state-of-the-art filter, and holding tank system, this wash water filter set-up makes sense economically and environmentally too.

For ease, comfort, and professionalism, there are pressure washer accessories such as foot valves (lets you operate the pump from a distance), extension wands and brush attachments, carts, skids, hose reels, magnetic starters, and so much more they are hard to list here. It will benefit the pressure washer owner to know of the many accessories available and their applications. For instance, by checking out the accessories available, you would learn that simply adding a rotary nozzle would increase cleaning power and efficiency for large, flat surfaces. A rotary nozzle uses centrifugal force and is 200% more efficient than a 25° flat fan nozzle. Rotary nozzles come in small (2,500 psi), medium (3,000 psi), large (4,350 psi) and extra large (5,000 psi), and there is a stainless steel, super-heavy-duty (7,350 psi) rotary nozzle.

Of course, the pressure washer accessories list includes Replacement Parts—from engines and pumps (and parts for them), through to tires for hose reels and hardware for all mechanisms.

outside drain overflowing after washer drains?

This just started happening today, but when the washer goes on, the toilet will not flush, the shower backs up, and an outside drain outside my basement starts overflowing. it happens after the washer drains and there are suds outside, anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it please?
I do not have a septic tank i run on city sewer line, also, you can hear the drains making a gurgling noise

You definitely have a blockage could be tree roots or something else. You could hire a plumber but it will be crazy expensive and they always try to rip you off. Here's what to do. Go to home Depot and rent a snake 50foot one will do and put it down a basement drain near your washer or and outside drain (whichever you can find or both if you have access to both). It's hard work but could save you thousands of dollars.In Canada it costs $50 for the snake so if your in the us, it will be much less. Get someone who works there to tell you how to work it. It's quite heavy by the way.

I've done this 4 times myself and before the last time we called a plumber and without even coming to our house he said we would need a new pipe on the outside of our house and it would cost up to $6000 - crazy! Each time we did it by the way, we got a tennis ball out. Where they came from? We don't play tennis.
