With those different pressure washer variants on the market, choosing the right model to suit the type of cleaning work you do can be difficult. Here, we explain the difference between hot and cold water machines, to help you make an informed choice for your business.
Discover the Cleaning Power of Cold Water Pressure Washers
Cold Water Pressure Washers clean effectively thanks to the high impact cleaning power they provide. Machines with high water flow also help to flush away dirt and rinse areas quickly. Cold water machines are great for quick cleaning jobs as they are relatively light, easy to transport, take up little storage space and are quick to set up. They are generally less expensive than hot water versions and can be cheaper to service. However, for cleaning jobs where there is a lot of dirt and grease to shift or deep cleaning work to be done, a hot water cleaner may turn out to be a lower cost option in the long term.
Elevate Your Cleaning Efficiency with Hot Water Pressure Washers
Hot Water Pressure Washers increase the water temperature up to 80°C (or up to 155°C for steam cleaning). Cleaning with hot water rather than cold is quicker when you need to shift oil and grease, and the reduced impact pressure makes hot water pressure washers gentler to sensitive surfaces. Objects cleaned with hot water also dry more quickly, so the finished result is often better, with lower likelihood of streaks. Hot water machines usually need diesel to fuel the burner as well as electricity to power the motor. Overall running costs can often be lower than cold water machines due to increased cleaning efficiency, reduced labour and detergent costs.
