i do not know your level of businness capacity...however that pressure cleaner is less effective than a garden hose.....it would take a while to rinse off a car

It's not a foam attachment, it's a detergent attachment, it sprays out soapy water with VERY little foam. I have the 1600 psi one with a little better gpm rating - it sprays out plenty of water, definitely more than a hose and definitely enough to wash your car.



If you want to use it with an actual foam cannon you'd need to buy new hose and a new gun (at least 50 bucks depending on gun and hose length, you can pick it up at your local HD or Lowes)

Idk about that ptirmal. My troy built has 2.3gpm with 2550psi and I know it doesnt put out as much water as the garden hose would. However, since youre putting out ALOT more pressure you're able to get more work done.



Since its hooked up to the garden hose, can it actually put out more than a garden hose would? That pump has little to no 'sucking' ability.

Yea I guess it's not much more than a garden hose but it's much more effective IMO. I just don't think the comparison of spraying your car with a spray bottle is accurate.

haha, I agree. With that much pressure it really helps when spraying the vehicle off. I use mine alot in the winter to get all the salt off and to spray the fender wells+underbody off really well. Works out great if I get her covered in a little mud too.
