Is a 3000 PSI pressure washer dangerous?




Joseph C


Can a 3000 PSI pressure washer do any serious damage or hurt someone? Obviously anything can if misused, but is this very powerful?


Answer
Most residential pressure washers are 1200 - 2000 psi.
3000 psi is pretty strong.
Volume is important also. 1 or 2 gpm (gallon per minute) is fairly easy to handle at higher pressures. 6 to 8 gpm would require safety equipment.

what are specs on a simpson pressure washer pump?




Virgil J


the pump is red with AAA on front label the tag says #6 tip 2200 trying to find out how many gpm.


Answer
You have a 2200 PSI "pounds per square inch" pressure washer. It all depends on the pump manufacturer as to how many GPM your pump can push. It could be as low as 2.0 or as high as 4.5 GPM. One example of a CAT pump is this setup,Cat Pump, 2200 psi, 4.2 GPM, 900 PSI operating pressure. This may or may not be your pump. A Simpson name brand is just that, a name brand. Although Simpson used to make the best washers in the USA, the industry has moved to cheaper and cheaper garbage from China.
My Simpson has a plate on the left side. Mine also has a CAT pump on it and you can get the Model numbers off the pump and look it up on the CAT/Caterpillar web site.
