Once you’ve made the initial investment of a excellent, 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 place you ahead of your competitors.

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

Pressure washers are essential tools for many tasks. If you are resurfacing ancient weathered wood or brick, or just using one to clean your car or truck, then you know how indispensable these really are for projects around the house. If you use a commercial grade unit in the shop then you also know how capable these machines can be. This article will discuss some of the accessories available today to make the jobs you do simpler and more effective.

Accessories for pressure washers are really what makes them useful at all. Without them all you have is pressurized air and maybe some water. Get the right hose, nozzle or injector and you’ve really got something. Speaking of hoses, don’t make the mistake of shorting yourself on this. A nice long hose can save you lots of frustration. I recommend at least 50 feet of 3/8 inch I.D. non-marking hose that includes a quick connect end with swivel and ben restrictor. Some are even wire braided and chemical resistant.

One item you may not have thought of, but that can save you hours and hours of work if you have a large surface to clean, is either an 18 inch or 28 inch rotary surface cleaner. Mi-T-M makes a few of these that work with any pressure washer and a standard cleaning nozzle. These are set up with a stout bristle brush to allow you to really get after those tough spots. The the 18″ and the 28″ units have a 4000 psi rating and are equipped with a professional-grade high pressure trigger. They also have a 3-10 GPM water rating. As for nozzles, you get what you pay for. Try to get one that has at least a 3000 psi maximum rating and quick connects to the hose. I also reckon one with a 0 degree spray impact with 25 degree coverage is best.

Another accessory for pressure washers that may at first seem like only a specialty item, but that is really quite useful, is a carbide tip sand injector. The one that Mi-T-M makes features a wet sandblasting kit that allows you to work dust free in removing paint and other coatings from many surfaces. You need to pay particular attention not to apply too much pressure for too long in any one place while using this item because it can hurt surfaces if not used properly.

Finally, a low pressure detergent injector that has an adjustable chemical draw is another really handy thing to use with pressure washers. Like most other accessories, this one also comes with quick connects for simple on and off. If you can find one made out of brass with stainless steel openings, then you are insuring that you are getting the most durable materials. That means longer life and greater satisfaction.

Pressure washers are a necessity for some, and a mere luxury for others. Regardless, if you find yourself owning one of these wonderful machines, make sure to pick up the accessories you need to get the job done right. If you do, you’ll find that the jobs you do will be done more efficiently, and more pleasantly than without them. The incorrect tool just causes stress, irritation and frustration. No thanks!

If you’ve already invested in a pressure washer, you realize how much time they can save you. The only next logical step is to accessorize it! With the right accessories, you’ll be able to perform any job!

The most obvious necessary you’ll need is a multi-purpose tip. These multi-purpose tips can spread water over a 45 degree angle to cover a wide area or change to a 0 degree nozzle to project the pressure washer’s power onto a single point. If you’re trying to a car you’ll want a 45 degree angle, which will cover a wide area while still maintaining adequate pressure. But, if you’re trying to attack dirt embedded into a construction tractor, you’ll need as much power as possible so the 0 degree nozzle is what you’re looking for. A single nozzle that can do both will save you time, since you won’t have to switch out nozzle tips every time you need to do a new job.

Another well loved option is the telescoping wand. This will allow you to reach areas that you might not normally be able to; perfect for those roof jobs or to reach those 2nd floor walls. You can get a wand that can extend up to 24′.

If you’re looking for maximum cleaning action, look into rotary turbo nozzles. These nozzles rotate while they work, adding incredible scrubbing action to the cleaning power of pressure. The net effect is a spray pattern that breaks down even the most toughest of dirt and grime, and can deliver up to 200% increased efficiency. It’s perfect for cleaning driveways, patios, garages, and other large flat areas. The cost of the turbo nozzle depends on the application; the cheaper consumer-grade nozzles range from -100, while the professional grade nozzles can cost upwards of 0!

But the most obvious accessory is the pressure washer hose. The most common length of hose is 15 feet. That’s usually long enough to do one wall; then you have to walk back and go the pressure washer. Of course, if your pressure washer is electric, let’s hope that doesn’t mean you’ll need to unplug it too. You can get hoses up to 100 feet long! When buying pressure washer hoses, make sure you get the right PSI hose; the incorrect one could lead to disaster.

Pressure washer accessories can change a pressure washer from something you’ll use every once in a while to something you use everyday. It’ll make your jobs much simpler and the time savings can easily offset the cost of the accessories. Besides, who doesn’t like playing with new accessories?
