Mail service below about soap got me thinking.

I really can't afford or justify a heated pressurewasher. Simply I exercise have a hot h2o outlet on the side of business firm-I use warm water to wash cars and equipment through regular Karcher 3000psi gas powered powerwasher.

How hot can you go without dissentious a pump on something like that?

It will say in the manual.

Most are less than the 120+ of a hotwater heater. They mostly say specifically to not apply hot water, the seals on the cheapies tin can't take it.

My dealer told me it is fine with a decent washer to run hot water through at about 120 degrees or then. This should be safe to run water from the house as, depending on what you lot have in your house, your h2o is probably set somewhere effectually 115 degrees in the firm.

The merely other affair he did tell me was that its when the pump is running and not moving any water that is difficult on them. The 1 I got from them has a relief valve on the side of the pump that will start to accident water out on the basis if information technology gets to hot while its dead heading the pump.

Haven't run hot water through it however just I desire to become it set up with a LP tankless water heater to aid get some of the grime and grease off my equipment.

What temp does it start to get hard on the paint? I was thinking that the wax protectant started to melt at like 140-150 degrees... so if y'all use a real hot water pressure level washer you take to be careful not to harm the pigment.

My two cents

I take run hot water through my karcher washer for years with no trouble. The reason is because it is soft and the cold is not in my shop.
good luck

I'chiliad not wild nigh the idea of putting hot water alee of the pump. The pump is getting a lot of its cooling from the water going through it. The hot water washers I've seen ever put the rut on after the pump. ekeller2

I have put hot water through my cat 310 pump for several years with no problems. Run is from the water heater or boiler. The boiler has h2o that is very very hot too.
