Attachments for your Pressure Washer

 Pressure Washers have several great uses from cleanup in the shop, properties, homes, cars and more. Achieving most of these tasks are easily done with the tips that come along with your machine. However, there are other attachments that can help get these jobs done by attaching to your wand directly. Attachment types are: Scrub Brush, Gutter Cleaner, Foamer, Water Broom and the Rotary to name a few.

Scrub Brushes 

Scrub Brushes provide a great advantage for cleaning with detergent. They can attach directly to the end of the wand that has detergent being fed through it. They help provide good scrubbing power while applying detergent with the nozzle tips in the brush itself. 

Gutter Cleaner

The gutter cleaner attaches to the end of either your standard wand, or an extendable wand, and provides cleaning power for hard to reach areas. This attachment cleans with high pressure and is curved to clear out existing debris in your gutters. 

Foamers

Foamers are a great attachment for cleaning large areas. Small bottles, with your choice of detergent, attaches to the end of a standard lance.  With low pressure foamers provide a wide spray pattern to help saturate a large area with detergent quickly. 

Rotary

The rotary is a common attachment that is used for quick and powerful cleaning. The rotary has a circular high pressure pattern that can move debris quickly and effectively. They have the digging power of a 0 degree tip and a wide spread of a fan style tip.

All of these attachments, are available through Express Pressure Washers in Blooming Prairie, along with several other types of attachments. Videos on how to use and explaining more about these attachments are also available on Express Pressure Washer’s website. 

 

IPC Eagle Sweepers and Scrubbers to help with the Mess

Vacuum Sweeper

There are great benefits from using a vacuum sweeper. The key benefit is not having the dust cloud from cleaning up the dirt that was present. Vacuum sweepers are able to suck up the entire dust mess and keep dust clouds away. The larger models of sweepers offer a walking feature, that makes guiding the machines easy, while cleaning up mess and continuing work around the shop. Another benefit of the vacuum sweeper is the filter shaker. The shaker is available while working, providing more cleaning room in the filter and sweeper. Lastly, with the multiple batteries that come in the bigger sweepers, longevity is a strong quality these sweepers provide, lasting 3-5 hours per charge. They are easy to charge with a 110v plug in. 

Automatic Scrubbers

Automatic Scrubbers are ideal for commercial properties. IPC Eagle Scrubbers are great for their uses on cleaning up existing wet messes. A great feature is the vacuum suction which leaves minimal moisture behind the cleaning path. Efforts in pushing the scrubbers are very easy with their automatic walking feature. Going up to a rider scrubber makes getting your job done even more easily and quickly. Lastly, with the multiple batteries that come in the bigger scrubbers, longevity is a strong quality these scrubbers provide, lasting 3-5 hours per charge. They are also easy to charge with a 110v plug in.

 Winter is on its way and what a different winter we are going to be facing. Radiant Heaters are a great option to keep you, your job or farm operation running smooth. There are several different uses for the heaters during the winter time, that range from personal use in the shop or garage, to on-site and livestock use. 

Radiant Heat Benefits

Using radiant heat for keeping you or your project warm is beneficial because where your heater is positioned is where you will be heating. The heat does not rise like other heaters, it will heat in a straight line. With the heat being a directional heat it prevents dust being blown around as well, keeping your area clean and warm. 

No ammonia while Operating

VaL6 radiant heaters burn 99.9% clean. The complete combustion system produces no odor or smoke while it is heating you or your job. Other style heaters can produce ammonia that can make it difficult to have in a smaller space or enclosed area. VaL6 radiant heaters achieve heating those areas completely clean, so there will not be any effects from running the heater. 

Heating Uses 

The uses for Radiant heaters have continued to grow. A few of the main uses for these heaters are: finishing up end of season projects, heating winter projects, keeping newborn livestock born in the cold warm and adding additional heat to your shop, garage or outdoor setting. Some of the new ways that have come for outdoor heaters is the use for outdoor dining to create a larger space for dining at local restaurants. 

VaL6 Radiant heaters are available at Express Pressure Washers. They are continuously being sold and used for different uses but one main reason, the power of the sun for heat and being able to burn 99.9% clean producing little to no ammonia. These heaters can be used on location with a inverter for your vehicle battery, or with 110V power in your shop, garage or powered outdoor setting. Let us at Express Pressure Washers find the perfect size heater for you. Check out Express Pressure Washers website today. 

Your Guide to Using Commercial Pressure Washers During Winter

 Commercial pressure washers help to keep a variety of surfaces clean, from your shop floors and heavy machinery to a residential homestead and its property. As such, they play a crucial role in daily business operations. During winter, though, certain precautions are necessary to ensure your cleaning goes smoothly. For the best results, follow the tips listed below.

Your Guide to Using Commercial Pressure Washers During Winter

1. Be sure your Pressure Washer is properly winterized

Winterizing is crucial for winter washing. Being sure your machine is winterized properly is even more important, what we mean by that is to make sure anti-freeze is run through your pump AND through your entire coil. In many cases we see the pump alone was winterized and the coil has split because not enough anti-freeze was run through it. Winterizing how-to-videos are available on our website.

2. Adequate water source available

Getting ready for winter is something all of us in the Midwest have mastered. One of the many tasks on that checklist is to be sure your hoses and water sources are drained to prevent freezing. So if you are pressure washing outside, make sure you have an adequate source of water for your pressure washer.

3. Leaving your machine in a heated shed

After finishing up with a pressure washing job it is best to make sure your machine continues to be stored in a warm shed (above 32 degrees) if it is not winterized.  The pressure washer pump and coil are the most vulnerable to damage when exposed to the harsh winter temps.

 You also want to be sure to drain your hose, disconnect it and keep that in a warm shed as well. When water freezes it will expand inside the hose causing the wire braid to split or build up ice that can form a pocket creating back pressure that can damage the pump the next time you start to wash.
