One of the reasons that consumers often think that pressure washers aren’t right for their needs is because they assume that they use a lot of water. The truth is that many people are surprised that not only do pressure washers often use less water than would be used via other methods, but there are ma

ny industrial wash water recycle systems that can help reduce wasted water even more. Keep reading for more information and then contact Hydro Tek at 800-274-9376 if you need assistance.

You’ll find a wide range of benefits of using pressure washers compared to garden hoses

Many homeowners will use their garden hose to complete tasks that could be more efficiently performed by a pressure washer. However, there are a number of ways in which using a pressure washer is better. First, you’ll cut down on water. Consider the increasing price of water, and the environmental reasons for cutting back, this can be a huge advantage.

Another advantage is that you save time. Why spend twenty minutes hosing down and scrubbing an area of your driveway that can be cleaned in just seconds with a pressure washer? When it comes to water savings and efficiency, the pressure washer has the garden hose beat.

Pressure cleaning equipment saves water in two ways

There are two ways water is saved when pressure cleaning equipment is used. First, the pressure washers use fewer gallons of water each minute. Consider that the average garden hose faucet gives eight gallons of water a minute. When outfitted with a spray nozzle, it uses an average of five gallons per minute.

Not only is the amount of water being used reduced per minute, but pressure washers take fewer minutes to work. Consider that the average garden hose gives about 10 pounds per square inch of pressure (PSI) and when fitted with a spray nozzle gets 50 PSI. The more pressure that’s there, the faster, more efficient your cleaning will be.

Now consider that the pressure washing systems from Hydro Tek only uses two to three gallons of water a minute. You’re already saving a ton of water with that, but then consider that the pressure gets much more intense. In fact, it can be as high as 2000 PSI. The steam from the washer allows the user to quickly and easily get rid of dirt, debris, grime, etc., which means that the job take less time overall. And this all translates to less water being used. Your water usage could down 75%.

You may be one of the many people who assume that one pressure washer is the same as any other pressure washer. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, at Hydro Tek, all of our products, from pressure washers to steamers to accessories must meet very high standards. We use stainless steel when appropriate to ensure that our products are durable, look great, and can perform.

When you keep reading you’ll discover just a few of the reasons that we offer the best products in the business. Give us a call at 800-274-9376 if you’re ready to learn more.

We follow ISO 9001:2015 Certifications

We use the strictest requirements of the ISO 9001:2015 Quality Standards. We do this so that you can trust that every product we offer is of the highest quality. From our handling of paperwork to the design of our products, from our exhaustive 47-point final inspection of every single pressure washer we sell, from the way our company is focused on quality, you will appreciate how serious we are about offering you the best possible products around.

We offer the best coil on the market

The Spiralast Coil, which offers a lifetime warranty, is manufactured by us directly, which means that we have total control over the quality of the products. It has several advantages over other options:

• It offers excellent performance. When the coil pipe gets bent at a tight radius, it will stretch the pipe. The result is that the wall thickness is less and a weak point is created. The inside diameter of the pipe is shrunk as well, which can further restrict flow. This is not an issue with the Spiralast, as it uses a unique cold-rolled process and has a much higher bend radius. The result is a stronger coil that ends up with less flow restriction.
• Efficiency. This spiral design also means higher efficiency, which translates to less pollution and less fuel consumption.
• It’s safer and stronger. It’s been tested and certified to have burst at 40% higher than the industry standard.
• It offers incredible precision. We use robotic welding which results in super-precise welds and means an end to joints acting as weak points.

We offer lifetime corrosion resistance

One of the main worries of many people when they think of the longevity of a pressure washer is how to keep it from corroding. We use a stainless-steel coil housing and inner wrap that’s unmatched for protection. This double-wall option helps keep the heat where it needs to go, while ensuring that the burner works well for years to come.

As you can see, at Hydro Tek we take our jobs seriously. We create the best possible pressure washers and pressure washing equipment. Are you ready to learn more about your options? Call us at 800-274-9376 with any questions.

A person who buys a high-quality, commercial grade hot water pressure can have their choice of jobs related to their new machinery. One common job you may find yourself bidding on involves cleaning a sports complex, stadium, or arena. At Hydro Tek, we’ve seen people lose money on these jobs all the time, simply because they underbid. This is a simple thing to do if you’re not familiar with everything involved in the job.

Keep reading to learn more about all the things you’ll need to take into consideration to ensure you get an accurate quote. Then reach out to us at 800-274-9376 or check out our website for water pressure washers and accessories.

The accessibility of the spaces you need to clean

Companies bidding on these types of jobs often consider only the size of the venue, but what’s actually just as important – if not more so – is how accessible it is. You need the right equipment to get into every nook and cranny, and you need to ensure you have the scaffolding you need to get under the seats, or the ladders you need to get all the way up in the rafters. Consider how you’ll access everything and include any equipment rentals or purchases with your bid.

Prep work required

Don’t just think about the time you’ll spend once you get started in earnest, think about the time and inconvenience of pre-work. For example, is there going to be debris or other things that could keep you or your equipment from getting into the structure? Make sure you understand the complex well enough that you know what your points of entry are and how to keep them clear.

Consider the workflow

If it’s a large venue you’re bidding on, and there will be numerous areas to clean within it, then you’re going to want to divide it into sections. This is simply the easiest way to clean, but it can create logistical obstacles that take up time and resources. For example, you likely account for the time to setup, but remember that if you have several work zones, you’ll be breaking down and setting up several times.

Taking chemical limitations into account

Many sports venues have certain limitations on what type of chemicals can be used. In other cases, they may have some types of equipment they don’t allow, or they may require you to choose options that are quiet. Whatever type of limitations they include, consider them carefully and then come up with your alternative solutions. Take any extra cost or time into consideration.

The factors above are only some of the things you’ll be thinking about when you place your bid. Of course, the obvious things still apply but the above are special considerations that must be taken into consideration. If you’re ready to learn more about how a pressure washer can provide new employment and earning opportunities, reach out to Hydro Tek at 800-274-9376 right away.

Without a pressure washer, getting a deck truly clean takes back-bending scrubbing and hours out in the hot sun. The good news is that if you have the right tools, it can be done much faster and much better. However, it’s also important to remember that wood is sensitive. You must follow the right steps to ensure you keep it safe while getting it clean.

At Hydro Tek we offer not only the pressure washers you need but the various accessories you need as well, along with water recycle systems and much more. Read on for a simple guide on how to wash a deck with a pressure washer and then reach out to us if you have additional questions on what equipment would work best for your needs.

Begin by getting yourself and the deck ready

First things first, give the deck a good sweep. Then rinse and wet it down with your garden hose, making sure that it’s thoroughly wet and that all dirt and debris is a thing of the past. To get yourself ready, grab some waterproof clothes, some gloves, and a pair of goggles.

Find the right pressure setting

You’ll use the unloader valve to find the correct pressure setting. If you want a lower pressure, turn the unloader counterclockwise, and turn it clockwise if you want higher pressure. Which is right will depend on the type of wood you have. If your deck is made of a soft wood such as pine, then you’ll need lower water pressure. Start by picking a test spot on your deck and start at around 600 PSI. Go higher if necessary but be careful because you can cause damage if the pressure is too high.

Use the right nozzle

We recommend using a quick connect tip nozzle that has either a 25-degree or 40-degree output. Using a quick-connect option means that you can cover a much larger surface area, which means the job’s going to get done faster. Start out using a back and forth spray motion and stay about two feet above the ground. Don’t let the nozzle get any closer than that to your wood or you may damage it.

Stay safe at all times

As you’re cleaning your deck, there’s nothing so important as keeping your safety in mind. Don’t point the nozzle at another person, at an animal, or at glass. It may seem obvious, but many people have no idea just how powerful a pressure washer is. It can do real damage and cause injuries if sprayed directly at a person.

If you’re interested in cleaning your deck, or using a pressure washer for any other purpose, then it’s a good time to contact Hydro Tek at 800-274-9376 . We offer a wide range of options, any one of which may work perfectly for your needs. We’re happy to go over what you plan to use it for and what your goals are in order to find the right package for you. Call today!

Compared to other sludge pumps, it can perform 45% better.

These stats are sure to impress you

Just how far up can you extract with this? Up to two stories vertically. The extraction rate is as high as 15 times your pressure washer’s flow rate. There’s often debris left in sump pits and / or troughs, like slurry or small pieces of gravel.

The standard discharge hose included is 15 feet but there are additional hose lengths available from Hydro Tek.

Then reach out to Hydro Tek to talk to a distributor.

Hot water gives you a better result when cleaning

You may know that hot water seems to clean better but you may not know why. The truth is that hot water helps to soften oil and grease that’s congealed. It also helps to significant boost emulsification, which makes things easier to remove. This is especially important in the food industry, where there are lots of greases and proteins used. However, it can be important in just about any situation you need to clean.

You don’t need as much cleaning detergent

One of the biggest advantages of using a hot water pressure washer is that you don’t need to use as much detergent. In fact, you may not need any at all. This is because many substances, such as oil, grease, and resin, can be taken care of with just hot water. Using less detergent is great for the environment and to keep your costs down.

It takes less time to dry and it’s cleaner

If you clean a surface with hot water versus cold water, it will try faster due to the heat. This means that the space is ready to use faster. It also means that there are fewer germs. Why? First, because the hot water kills them. Second, because wet surfaces are a breeding ground for germs. If an area dries faster then there’s a shorter span in which those germs can grow.

You can save a significant amount of time

Depending on the application, your time savings could be as much as 35%. In a world in which time equals money, this isn’t just a convenience but it serves a financial purpose too. If you invest in certain attachments and accessories, the time savings can be even more. Some choose to simply save this time and move on to other projects while others can do a more thorough job than they would have if they were using another method.

1. Roof and concrete cleaner

Any building is going to look old and disgusting if it’s covered in moss, mildew, and / or dirt. A company could lose business due to the way their building looks. Even a little bit of mold is enough to make employees and clients sick. That’s why pressure washers are a great choice to clean up the concrete in driveways, parking lots, and sidewalks, as well as the walls of a building and its roof.

2. Cleaning up logging equipment

If you know of a way to log without drumming up a whole lot of mud then you’re a more experienced logger than most. The rest of us need a high quality pressure washer to get logging equipment cleaned of that mud, not to mention the oil, grease, and engine fluid that can stick around. With a hot water pressure washer, all of that can be blown away in no time.

3. Washing off oil field equipment

At Hydro Tek, we offer portable SS series pressure washers that are ready to take on the dirt, grime, and oil in an oil field. It can be mounted to a trailer or on a truck, but either way it’s simple and easy to drive it to even the most remote oil wells. If you can drip or pump there, you can bring a portable pressure washer there.

4. Removing coating

If you’re dealing with a surface that’s been covered any type of coating, then you’re looking at two options. One, you could spend hours – or even days – getting the coating off. Two, you could spend just minutes getting rid of the coating entirely without putting in any manual labor. From getting rid of graffiti to metal prep cleaning, a pressure washer can handle it all.

5. Cleaning up an oil rig

If you’re working on an oil rig and you spill oil or you’re trying to get mud off the hose drilling, what do you do? You turn to a heavy duty hot water pressure washer. Once again, our mobile systems are perfect for moving this equipment to get to any and all parts of an offshore rig.

6. Cleaning up after an oil spill

For any company that revolves around the oil industry, it’s no secret that an oil spill is the worst possible outcome to deal with. There are several reasons this is true, including the fact that it can be very difficult to clean up after an oil spill. Luckily, a pressure washer makes it easier. The equipment available from Hydro Tek offers you a great solution that’s environmentally friendly, especially when you use a vacuum system to get rid of the spillage. Our products not only let you clean the area, but they allow you to capture and get rid of the contaminants.

Pressure washers make quick work of cleanup

Everyone wishes they had a sparkling clean home but it can seem impossible to keep up to that standard of cleanliness. The right pressure washer can change that. Not only is it easier to clean the exterior of the home, the basement, the garage, and other parts of the house with a pressure washer, but it’s much faster too. No matter how tough the job, a pressure washer can make quick work of getting rid of dirt, grease, grime, and much more.

Pressure washers can handle a wide range of applications

We often find that people aren’t sure how useful a pressure washer would really be. Sure, it can be good for cleaning a home’s siding but how often does that really need to be done? The truth is that there are many other areas and surfaces that can be cleaned by a water pressure washer.

For example, never sweep the sidewalks again when you have a pressure washer. Get rid of grease, dirt, and grime from the garage floor. Make the driveway look brand new, clean up a deck, sanitize the kid’s playhouse – the list of pressure washer applications is nearly endless.

There are many water pressure washer options

If you don’t have a pressure washer yourself then you may not realize that there are a lot of decisions to make. First, do you want a hot water pressure washer or a cold water pressure washer? Are you looking for an electric-powered or gas-powered unit? Will it primarily be used indoors? If so, then you’re going to want one that’s free from exhaust. On the other hand, if the pressure washer is likely to be used in several places, then you may want a handheld and portable unit.

In short, there are lots of options and there isn’t one answer to everyone’s needs. That’s why Hydro Tek not only offers you so many choices, but we employ folks who can answer all your questions. No matter who you’re buying it for, no matter what their mechanical savvy or what they’ll likely use it for, we can answer your questions about which model is best.
