'terrabytetango',

Your method of spraying water is also good for out side body, but I do not know the mud inside under carriage will wash off like a pressure washer because the water pressure is much more higher than the air pressure water gun.

Uncle, you're correct. I only use the equipment for cleaning the car's body, the undercarriage I leave up to the professionals.

Members,

Today Daily news 1st page has the Abans Pressure washers full range they have Nilfisk Danish manufactured machine.

I have had bought one in Singapore twenty five years ago used it for 15 years without any motor pump trouble.

only changed few hoses at that time we did not have a agent in Srilanka hoses were bought in length and ends were crimped.

I discarded that machine due to pump pistons got wasted and there was not enough pressure.Used as a home H/P washer

Well.. then the Abans one is actually good ? If it worked for 15 years that says a lot..

Dude he bought it 25 years ago in S'pore... i highly doubt its the same thing Abans is selling NOW.

This machine need a small pressure feed to give high pressure on the final pressure gun.

Water bucket will not give a water flow and machine will not suck water in unless you have the water bucket at a higher level so that water will flow to gravity feed, so it will serve as the inlet pressure.

You can join two pressure hoses to gather and extend the length of the pressure hose or get a high pressure hose buy to your required length and get the ends crimped to correct outlet and pressure gun end male sockets.

Guys I got a chinese made one for just 6500 bucks and it's working pretty fine. Also it has a higer pressure than the Karcher model that goes for 12K. Karcher is a good brand but expensive and the higher pressure ones are very very expensive...

whooow, and the place is ? please :)

water pressure in my area is pretty crap... but my machine works pretty fine even with that low pressure.

you can't really expect the pressure hose to be that long to go around the car... in my case...i've jerry-rigged a waterproof extension cord. just a regular extension cord with plenty silicon glue around it to keep it dry and this setup works for me.

also you should be able to get the gun hose extended. can't e that hard.

As for the garden hose coming loose...maybe your garden hose has become brittle. If not a hose clip should be able to sort that out.

Well if you extend the pressure hose length (the length of the hose attached to the spray wand) the spray pressure is going to drop further....

'Kavvz',

I have done this several times to pressure washers extending the length of pressure hoses the drop is negligible.

Never tested pressure before and after extending the pressure hose.You have a point on your post.
