pressure washer cat pump image
I'm looking for a pressure washer that I can use for cement driveways, decks, etc. I also am looking to get a flat surface cleaner. I have tried looking on the Costco since I heard they sold some website but I couldn't find them. I also don't want a junk piece of plastic. Thanks for the help.

You won't find a commercial grade pressure washer for less then $900. Anything with a pump that mounts underneath the motor is considered a home owner use pressure washer and won't hold up to consistent use. Plus when they do breakdown, they are more expensive to fix than what you paid for them.
Grainger sells Mi-T-M, which is a quality pressure washer. Home Depot's sells a high end Dewalt pressure washer with a Cat Pump.
Do research and talk to your local pressure washer distributor to make sure you get a quality machine.

I've got a Husky 1750 psi power washer. Want it for my carpet cleaning wand. Too much psi? hot water okay ?

Alright, I know many of you might be saying 'why in the heck do you want all of that pressure for a carpet wand which usually only needs about 300-500 psi even from a truck?! Well, I do have a nice Cat brand truck pump and yes, I run it at about 300 psi. Anything higher wastes water, and when switching to a hand tool for steps and upholstery you really need even less pressure.
So after all of this why use a 1750 psi? Well, it's all I have and I need to clean a high rise building so I have to use portable equipment. I DO have plenty of suction power so I'm sure that the extra pressure I'm putting down will get extracted fine. So this is not an issue.
Soooo my questions are these:
1. Can the seals in this pump ( typical cupped rubber seals X 4) handle the hot water supply from a typical hot water tank?
I do have a post inline hot water heater that I will heat the water further AFTER it leaves the pump.
2. Is there an inexpensive ( cheap DIY way) means to reduce the pressure from the pump? Also, since I have 4 jets on my wand will this pressure of 1,750 psi be reduced by 4, thus about 425 psi per jet?
Thanks for any help. No answers will be too far fetched considering I am on a budget here, and there is a short time frame in which I have to get this put together.

If I were you i would look at your insurance policy very carefully. You are using equipment outside its designed parameters, and if anything goes wrong you will be completely on your own.
