Pressure Washers: How to Choose (Bar and Flow Rate)

Pressure Washers: How to Choose (Bar and Flow Rate) - Product Guide

Pressure washers are the fastest way to clean — from auto service to construction. But "how many bar?" alone is misleading; the right machine is defined by the balance of pressure and flow.

Bar or Flow Rate?

  • Pressure (bar): The force that breaks dirt loose.
  • Flow (l/h): The water that sweeps it away — the real determinant of speed on large areas.

Cold or Hot Water?

  • Cold: Sufficient and economical for dust and mud.
  • Hot: Essential where oil and grease are involved — hot water dissolves oil, cold only pushes it.

Domestic vs Industrial

The difference is duty cycle and pump material: plastic/aluminium heads for short use, brass heads with ceramic pistons for continuous industrial duty.

Nozzles

  • 0°: Very powerful but can cut surfaces.
  • 15°–25°: General purpose standard.
  • 40°: Delicate surfaces and rinsing.
  • Turbo: Best for encrusted dirt.
