pressure washer 8 gpm image

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.

I'm looking to get a pressure washer and I'm not sure what psi to get. The hose cleans some of the dirt but I need more pressure so I'm curious .... what is the water pressure coming through a standard 5/8" garden hose?
Answer
The pressure of the water hose is not the answer its how much water volume you can get out of it for the pressure washer that's what you should be concerned about. There is only about say 25 or 30 lbs on your house maybe 35psi but what you want to be worried about is the gallons per minute that you can get out of it. The pressure washer will not care if it gets 5psi feed to it as long as it can get all or more of the gpm that it is designed to pump. Where I hook up mine I have an irragation hose bib that opens a little wider than the regular ones to be sure my pressure washer gets the gpm that it needs.
