$7k to spend on a NEW HW washer. What wod you buy?

The 7.7 115v liquiforce is $7600.

Quick question ive always wondered, why do alot of you guys recommend 8gpm machines? Do they realy have that big of advantage over 4.5 GPM machines? Im running (2) Pressure Pro 4.5 GPM and have never had any issue with water output or anything and from my prospective usually finish a job fairly quick!

Well think about it, it’s pushing twice the water so obviously twice as quick. If you think you’re quick with that machine, try a 8gpm machine and see what quick really is.

Fairly quickly is a relative term. Fairly quickly for a 2500 sq ft housewash with 2 eight gpm machines is 25 minutes. Typical three story apartment building with 2 breezeways is 2 hours.

A home like that with our single 8gpm machine would take us 45 mins to an hour. 25 would be great!

two machines, one guy only has to wash two sides.

Now see, if I was running two machines at the same time, I’d still be washing three sides to my wife’s one side. She can’t seem to not be texting either the kids or one of her sisters. Lol

Have yu ever tried any type of head on vinyl siding? Considered trying low heat (maybe 75 degrees) on one of the homes this season and see how that works for us. Or are you strictly wet down, SH, rinse with cold?

Only cold. Hot water freezes faster in the winter, dries out the grass wherever the hose is laying, 75 degrees is about ambient temp most of the year, vinyl, sealants, caulk, windows were not designed to be exposed to heated water and heated chemicals. Those that expouse the benefits for house washing are the ones who got conned into buying hot water initially.
