What kind of unit will I need to start a mobile pressure washing service?
Jason Steele plans to start a pressure washing business. He asks "What would be a suitable pressure washer to use (for a small mobile pressure washing business?)"
Harold: I am sure you are thinking of using a gas powered pressure washing in this situation.
A 5.5 HP Honda unit uses around 3.5 GPM at 2000 PSI. This setup would allow you 1 1/2 to 2 hours of washing. Larger units will use your water supply faster but will wash faster.
Also remember that most car wash units operate at around 1200 PSI so you shouldn´t use anything much stronger than that if you plan on washing cars as well.
I have helped other operators start up mobile pressure washing businesses and if you would like to know about what pressure washing equipment BSM Agri has available contact me.
