Hello,
I am looking into purchasing a pressure washer for various uses, they are pretty affordable from what I can tell, however for a few applications I need a level of pressure around 1200, no higher. If I use any higher there may be damage done by the water. Is it possible a pressure wand can have an adjustable max pressure? Or perhaps just being careful enough to keep the nozzle far away enough?
Many pressure washers seem to be in the 1500-2000 PSI range.
Thank you.

My parents craftsmen pressure washer has a 2400psi max pressure. However the wand is adjustable so the spray can be more or less concentrated depending on what you need. Also the engine has a throttle control. "Turtle" speed makes a good bit less pressure than "rabbit" speed. Also the water loses pressure very fast once it exits the wand so just holding it back a bit will be enough. Hope this helped.

What psi pressure washer for exterior paint prep?
Brian
Im going to be repainting the exterior of my house soon and i need to get a pressure washer to clean and remove loose paint. I know i need to get a gas one because electric wont cut it. What psi will be enough to get the job done? I found a decent deal on craigslist for a 2600 psi pressure washer but is that enough for what i want to do or should i be looking into buying or renting a 3000 plus psi?
Answer
Any pressure washer will do the job...even the electric ones. The higher pressure will remove the paint quicker but will increase the possibility of damage to the surface. There is a definite technique to using pressure washers for removing paint. You need to be aware of the damage you could do before you start. Make sure you read and understand ALL instructions before you start and practice on a piece of old scrap before you start on the house. Kick back from the nozzle could be a real surprise when you are on the top of a ladder.
