FAQs

Common questions answered.

Five of the questions we hear most often on carpark and street linemarking gear. Full knowledge base on our FAQ page.

  • Home vs commercial: what's different?

    Home units are axial-pump (direct-driven), rated for 1-2 hours continuous then cool-down. Commercial units are triplex-pump (belt or gear-driven), rated for 6-8 hours daily continuous. Home units suit weekly to monthly use; commercial units suit daily use. PSI numbers can look similar but the duty cycle is the deciding spec.

  • What can I clean with a home pressure washer?

    Residential driveway, fence, exterior brick, garden furniture, vehicle wash, paint prep on softer surfaces. 1500-3000 PSI x 6-9 L/min is enough for these jobs at the weekend-use frequency. Not enough flow for fast commercial-area cleaning; not enough duty cycle for daily use.

  • When should I step up to commercial?

    If you're cleaning more than 1-2 hours at a time, multiple times per week, or running a small home cleaning business. The commercial triplex pump pays back over 2-3 years of duty-cycle work that would burn out a home-tier axial pump. Step up to the Petrol Pressure Washers or Commercial Pressure Washers collection.

  • Can I store my pressure washer outside?

    While it might be tempting, it's generally not a great idea to store your home pressure washer outside long-term without proper protection. Exposure to the elements can cause significant damage. Moisture can lead to rust and corrosion on metal parts, while UV rays can degrade plastic components and hoses, making them brittle. In colder climates, any water left inside the pump can freeze and expand, which is a sure-fire way to crack and destroy it.

    If you must store it outdoors, proper pressure washer storage is key. At a minimum, keep it under a covered area like a porch or carport and use a heavy-duty, waterproof cover. For comprehensive protection, follow these outdoor storage tips: drain all water from the pump and hoses completely, and consider running a pump saver solution through the system. This helps prevent freezing and corrosion, extending the life of your machine.

  • How do I maintain diy / home use pressure washers for long service life?

    After each use, flush clean water through the system and wipe down external surfaces. Inspect hoses, fittings and o-rings for wear or cracking before each use. Change pump oil per the OEM schedule (typically every 50-100 hours for petrol units). Store indoors or under cover to prevent UV degradation of hoses and seals. For seasonal storage, run a pump-saver solution through the system to prevent mineral buildup and corrosion. Replace worn nozzles before they affect spray pattern — a worn nozzle increases water consumption and reduces cleaning efficiency.

DIY / Home Pressure Washers

Home-tier pressure washers for DIY and weekend use. The collection currently carries 1 product. This is the entry tier below commercial - axial-pump, intermittent-use rated, suited to home wash-down, fence cleaning, exterior brick, vehicle wash, light deck and patio work.

Home vs commercial - what's different. Home units are axial-pump (direct-driven), rated for 1-2 hours continuous use then cool-down. Commercial units are triplex-pump (belt or gear-driven), rated for 6-8 hours daily continuous duty. Home units are sized for occasional use (weekly to monthly); commercial units are sized for daily use. The PSI numbers can look similar but the duty cycle is the deciding spec.

Typical home spec. Home pressure washers run 1500-3000 PSI x 6-9 L/min - enough to clean a residential driveway, fence, exterior brick, garden furniture, vehicle. Sufficient pressure for paint prep on softer surfaces (timber). Not enough flow for fast cleaning of larger commercial areas; not enough duty cycle for daily use.

When to step up to commercial. If you're cleaning more than 1-2 hours at a time, multiple times per week, or running a small home cleaning business - step up to a commercial-tier petrol or electric unit. The triplex pump pays back over 2-3 years of duty-cycle work that would burn out a home-tier axial pump.
