*PRESSURE WASHERS*

I have been reading many forums and i have noticed the
increasing interests in these useful pieces of equipment.
It was from an earlier posting today from matthew which
spawned this posting. http://www.nfh.org.uk/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dry.gif

As you may/not know.The pressure washer operates at
a higher pressure than the water you get out of your
cold tap,aprox 8 times more,which means, the jet of
water coming out of the nozzle has a pressure of anything
between 150 and 180 psi (pounds per square inch). http://www.nfh.org.uk/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif

This makes it a wonderful tool for removing weeds from
your patio,moss from stonework,the orrible grey/black
stuff which ruins your patio stones. http://www.nfh.org.uk/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif

Now Matthew,you mentioned something about jet washers
in garages having the ability to damage tyres/wheels.
This is not true because they run at lower pressures than
the ones you can buy from Halfords or other good car
accessory shops.
Just imagine all the claims for damages to cars from owners
who have used the local garage jetwash http://www.nfh.org.uk/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif

I have used a pressure washer to clean my car and it does do
a good job but you have to be carefull where you point it on the
car.
My suggestion is keep it away from the window seals and all gaps
around car doors.Dont even think about using it on the engine.
If your car is rusty, dont use a pressure washer on it,it will take
the paint around the rust clean off,which will cause more rust.
