The More Things Change, The More They Stay The Same

These days, modern pressure washers come packaged with all sorts of bells and whistles. As new manufacturers enter the market, more and more products become easily accessible to national consumers. Whether you're searching for an electric washer, a portable model, or a heavy-duty commercial unit, the variety can prove to be dizzying!

All that being said, contemporary pressure washers continue to operate on the same principles as the industry's earliest models. Essentially, these machines are composed of a water pump that's powered by an electric motor. The washer makes use of its pump to accelerate ordinary water to high pressure. From there, it squirts the liquid from a hose at high speeds through a trigger gun or nozzle. There's really nothing to it!
