Water Blaster

This is a professional pressure washer and I would not recommend it for casual home use. But for professional jobs where it’s running all day long it is amazing. East start up and the Honda engine just purrs and never seems to struggle one bit. I did add an hour meter to keep track of my oil change intervals and changing the oil is a breeze. Extremely happy with my purchase.

Honda GX 390 motor Cat pump Belt drive This unit is the trifecta. It will not disappoint. Spend the money as this will last you for quite a long time.

I started my own little pressure washing business two and a half years ago. This is the model I wanted but decided to go with the direct drive version because it was $600 less. I wish now that I would have just ponied up the money for the belt driven version. The number one reason is that this model eliminates the variable of the customer’s water pressure from the equation. I attached it to a 26 gallon tank from Northern Tool that can be purchased here on Amazon and it works famously. The belt drive pump sucks the water right out of the tank. I connected the 3/4” outlet on the bottom of the tank to the inlet of the machine using suction resistant poly hose and a Hudson float valve in the top of the tank to control water flow. I haven’t performed any experiments yet but I know I’m putting out more water. Recently, I was doing a driveway with my older, direct drive, unit and the customer told me that, according to his digital water meter, I was only drawing 3.3 gallons per minute. A bucket fill test showed he was putting out close to 6 gallons a minutes from his hose. I was using a 20” surface machine and the job took forever. With this unit, I’m getting the whole 4.0 gallons. If those numbers are similar to other customers, I’m putting out roughly 21% more water.

Very nice.

Unit arrived in a large box with no pallet. As it came off the truck parts were falling out of the box that was torn. . The unit is very heavy and was in a plain carboard box. Free shipping, you get what you pay for.

Everything was good except the machine was damaged .

This Water Blaster replaces our Water Shotgun that lasted since 1991 in an unforgiving contractor use environment. Simpson is the standard by which all others should be judged.
