I am looking at buying a pressure washer. The headline on the advert sells it as "130BAR" pressure. When you read further down the description/spec it says it has an "Operating Pressure of 65 BAR" Wheres all that pressure gone!? I assume the lower pressure is what you ACTUALLY get (which is crap for a power washer), so where does the 130 BAR figure come from? Heres a link to the item in question:: http://cpc.farnell.com/duratool/d00020/pressure-washer-130bar-1400w/dp/TL10021?Ntt=tl10021
Answer
1 Bar = 14.5037738 Psi (Pound Per Square Inch)
So if you do the math 65 X 14.50377738 = 942.74 PSI
That a tad weak for a pressure washer of you ask me. Will it get the job done yeah, but Id look for something a bot stronger personally. It works out at 130BAR is claim to be rated at about 1900 PSI.
That sure seems like a huge loss from 1900 to 942. But im no pressure washer expert. Worst case buy it use it not happy sent the thing back. Look for Karcher brand pressure washers. Ive had the best luck with that brand myself. Good solid units.

Leaking faucet problem?
K
First let me say that I'm a renter so I'm not willing to spend alot of my own personal money to fix it, and also if it becomes a major problem then I'll definetly contact my management and have them come out to repair... I'm just wanting to know if there's anything simple or inexpensive I can do myself for now.
The faucet that is for the laundry where you hook up your washer's hose is leaking. It is the left (if you're facing it) one, so probably the hot water. The hose is on there tightly and the O-ring is fine but it drips quite a bit... it also even drips when I turn the handle of that faucet off all the way. It seems strange too because those faucets come vertically straight up the wall so I'd think with no water pressure because I turned the valve off it shouldn't be leaking. Any ideas or ways I might be able to fix this? It's overflowed the little basin around the faucets a few times and gotten the floor very wet, and I think the water bill is a little higher then it should be probably because of the constant water drip. Any recommendations on quick fixes are appreciated.
Again, I'll contact management if there's nothing I can do myself.
I actually don't want the water shut off because I need to use it for laundry... I just shut it off for now until I can find a solution.
Answer
You might be able to do something yourself.Just from your description its hard to say,a picture might help.
But i would advise you to have the landlord (supervisor,manager,whatever your particular arrangement is) take care of it.If you should break something the liability is going to be on you.And you can bet if you do fix it the landlord is not gonna say "hey nice job,why dont you forget about paying rent next month,its on me".
Plumbing repairs can be unforgiving,I tend towards advising homeowners to let professionals handle all but the simplest of these repairs.But on somebody else's property (ie your landlords) I really cant think of any instance where there's anything to gain by a layman messing with the plumbing.
