You want around 16 litres per minute minimum I'd say & that will give you 4000PSI

Very true.lots of missguided/untrue info in this thread fairplay
Amen to that sir [emoji16]This post has been an eye opener to me, as the unit I have is indeed very entry level and perhaps not the best unit...and so thank you for some if the above information that is very helpful.
That is what the forum should be, supportive not just critical without input.
Thanks mate. This one comes with a suction hose with filter for drawing from a butt[emoji1360]Brandon i own a simular clarkes petrol machie had it second hand as a backup machine- bought it to take from a tap the clarkes washer you posted can be easily adapted to take from water butt if you buy i can help you adapt to take from a tap i/e wheelie bin and for £250 seems ok money you can easily make your money square again-
hi chris i have the same machine as you i have owned it about 2 months and bought it with my eyes wide open as an entry level machine , it has earnt me around £2000 in that time and on saturday cut through around 20 years of dirt, moss and lichen upto a quarter of an inch thick with ease . i also bought that clarkes pw big brother last week and intend to bring that out on the bigger jobsThis post has been an eye opener to me, as the unit I have is indeed very entry level and perhaps not the best unit...and so thank you for some if the above information that is very helpful.

Could it be cutting out due to not enough water going through? Just a thought.@bloxwich pressure clean glad To hear it's working for you. Mines is but then I have nothing to compare to and am brand new to this you see.
It's cut out a couple times off tap but I think I need to actual read the instructions 're where to have the dials set at. Not very technical am i!
to be fair i started last october with a karcher and as with the window cleaning did lots of research on here , youtube and all the usual haunts and it seamed to tick all the boxes relating to output and more importantly limited budget .and was fully aware that i it only lasted 6 months it would be a stepping stone to a bigger machine . i echo your sentiments from yesterday that we all have to start somewhere and that we are not all millionaires who have the ability to make large withdrawals from the bank of bull dust :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:@bloxwich pressure clean glad To hear it's working for you.

Tap water is between 8 & 12 litres I think depending on area. Like you it's all new to me, & ive learnt a lot through this forum & another. Kept seeing these wheelie bins & thinking WTF is that for lol. I get it now, it's so that to get the pressure washer working to maximum output. It's certainly not for me as seems a lot of bother, so I softwash everything..Where is the commission! Well @Alec thanks for the positive input and you may well be right, It can draw water so maybe I'll use a 200 odd litre bin for short term but to be honest it's only 12 lpm and tap pressure here does not seem awesome so it's more likely to be my error with the settings
Yeah, would defo prob do that if not enough water is going through it.@Alec think it's also to avoid damaging the pump or at least that was indicated on a Honda gx390 I seen for sale.
