Water pressure washers can be divided into three categories: cold water pressure washers, hot water pressure washers and steam pressure washers. Each type of output has its own advantages and limitations. For heavy duty cleaning purposes, cleaning professionals opt for hot water pressure washers or steam units.
Generally, the higher the output temperature, the higher a machine's cleaning power. This means that pressure washer devices with very little or no heat are not ideally suited for heavy duty industrial cleaning applications. However, cold water pressure washers do have some advantages.
Cold water is necessary for cleaning certain types of surfaces, particularly heat sensitive materials. Additionally, commercial users with lighter pressure washing applications do not need the additional power of heated units. A cold water model will suffice for lighter commercial applications. Best of all, this saves money, as cold water pressure washing equipment, which lacks a heating element, is often cheaper than its heated counterparts.
When shopping for a pressure washing machine, consider the nature of your cleaning applications. If you continually face stubborn industrial applications, steam or hot water pressure washers are right for you. Yet, if your applications are characterized by heat sensitive surfaces and lighter cleaning, non-heated water pressure washers are the ultimate solution.
For users with a wide variety of applications, triple-function machines are available from top suppliers. These units can act independently as steam, hot water, and cold water pressure washers.
