How Many GPM's & How Much PSI?

  What is PSI: Pounds Per Square Inch of pressure (Agitation / Scrubbing Action)
     Think of PSI as the scrubbing power of your pressure washer. This action is what breaks the dirt loose from the surface.

  What is GPM: Gallons Per Minute of water (Dirt Removal / Rinse Action)
     Think of GPM is the ability of the power washer to remove the loosened dirt. The faster you rinse the dirt away the faster you
     complete the job. GPM is very important.  Not Enough Water Flow At Your Site? LEAN HOW TO GET MORE WATER - GPM!

  What is CU: CU stands for Cleaning Units.
     The CU formula is PSI multiplied by GPM. Many home owner pressure washers are sold this way. Though it is a simple formula,
     we shy away from it since it makes PSI and GPM equal in the equation. In most cases GPM is a little, if not a lot more important.
     Therefore, they are not equal. CU Example: 3,000-PSI x 4-GPM = 12,000 CU's

  What is more important GPM or PSI?
They are both very important. Different jobs require different types of force. The following topics highlighted below in bold & blue should help you decide. To clean a pressure washer must both agitate or  scrub (PSI) the surface to loosen the dirt and then rinse (GPM) away the dirt. Simply put the PSI is the scrubbing action and the GPM is the rinsing action. The purpose of the PSI is to break the chemical bond the dirt has to the surface, consider it like unto a scrubbing action. The GPM is what rinses or flushes away that dirt. Both are important but in many cases GPM can be more important. To judge your PSI needs consider the following two points. 1) Is the surface soft and easily damageable like wood or is it very hard and tough like steel? A 3000 PSI unit has to potential to quickly damage wood. 2) Consider the type of dirt/material to be removed, is the material very well stuck to the surface? If the material is very hard to remove by manual scrubbing, that is it takes a lot of agitation to break its bond with the surface then you want more PSI. Do your best to balance these two factors: The ability of the surface to withstand PSI and the ease or difficulty level of breaking the dirt's chemical bond to the surface.  Also factor in weather or not you are getting a hot, cold, steam or combination pressure washer system. Heat as well as soap can do a lot to break free grease and grime while reducing the requirement for higher PSI.

  GPM, More Important?
GPM is not always the most important factor. Sometimes all you need is some pressure and relatively low GPM. It depends upon your application. Ultimately, more power means faster work, BUT more power also means more potential to damage the surface. Lets look at cleaning a wooden deck. Pressures as low as 300 to 1000 PSI should work well. A 3000 PSI washer will rip the wood to shreds if you get close to the surface. In this case, low PSI, chemicals and high GPM would be better. On the other side of this, if you are working indoors, say in a commercial kitchen and have minimal floor drainage then you will clearly want a lower GPM unit.

  Personal Example GPM:
I have a New Holland tractor that I like very much. This year it got pretty mudded up with a mud/clay mix from my property. Using a small, cheap Wal-Mart type 1,700 PSI power washer running at what I believe was a water flow of a little over 2 GPM I went to work cleaning it. This tractor is not that big, its a 45hp and about 6' wide. As I was cleaning I could see that the PSI was fine for cutting through the dirt but I had to get close and it took a long time for the dirt to come off or rinse away. De-mucking this tractor probably took me well over 40 minutes! That might be fine for a home owner, but not for a business where time is money. I also had to be careful how close I got to some of the surfaces that had fittings or decals. You see, the low GPM caused me to get in tight to focus the rinsing effect. If I had a 4GPM unit with the same PSI I probably could have cleaned that whole tractor in less then 10 minutes and comfortably stood back while I was doing it. This is an example where higher GPM would have made all the difference in the world.

  Many Experienced Pressure Washing Contractors Find That GPM is more important then PSI. Since contractors use cleaning chemicals that do most of the work breaking the chemical bond the dirt has to the surface, they need less PSI (scrubbing action) to break the dirt free. Most of what is needed is to break the remaining dirt free and take it away is the rinsing / flushing action. Also, keep in mind that slamming 3 to 5 gallons of water/solution (some of our units go up to 10GPM!) at a surface has force in it self. Think of it this way, imagine a small pile of dirt somewhat dried onto your porch. If you take a glass of water and throw it into the dirt it will move the dirt a bit. If you throw a full bucket of water on that same pile of dirt it will likely be gone. The weight of the water has a scrubbing action in itself. This powerful flushing action is measured in a pressure washer by GPM. You will also find that a HOT WATER pressure washer or WET STEAM CLEANER with or without chemical will require less PSI to break the surface bond of dirt and oils. The GPM flow of HOT or SOAPY water does much of the work. Once the chemical bond between the surface and the dirt is broken free, its all about GPM. Decide how much pressure you may need to break that bond then decide how much GPM you can handle at your location. Example: A 1500-PSI unit with a 2-GPM flow might clean between 4-6 square feet per minute. A similar unit with the SAME 1500-PSI with a 3-GPM flow might clean 6 to 10 square feet in that same minutes work. The bottom line is faster cleaning equals a shorter job time. So lets say you are getting paid $200 for a job. If that job takes you 4 hrs to clean, you're making $50 per hour. If you have a more powerful pressure washer and cut the time in half, you would be making $100 per hour. Time is money. GPM and PSI are very important.

  DE-MUCKING Things Like Trucks, Bulldozers, Tractors, Backhoes, Roads, Military Equipment: GPM or PSI?
There is no question that de-mucking or the removal of caked on mud, clay and dirt is by far best achieved by using HIGH GPM. The pressure (PSI) is most often less important. The GPM is KEY to removing and flushing away heavy dirt fast. In fact, for equipment like tractors, tanks, jeeps and bulldozers it is often best to use non heated water at lower PSI. Why? Well, using high GPM rates of at least 4GPM (higher is better) and cold water you avoid removing greases from fittings, avoid injecting water into bearings and other places it should not be thus extending the life of your equipment. High pressure penetrates, High GPM flushes clean. De-mucking requires flushing or high GPM. Personal Example GPM: Granted this is a small scale example but the principle remains the same. I have a New Holland tractor that I like very much. This year it got pretty mudded up with a mud/clay mix from my property. Using a small common 1,700 PSI with what I believe is a flow of under 2 GPM. This tractor is not that big, its a 45hp and about 6' wide. It took me close to an hour to clean. As I was cleaning I could see that the PSI was fine for cutting through the dirt but it took a long time for the dirt to rinse away. De-mucking this tractor probably took me well over 40 minutes! I also had to be careful how close I got to some of the surfaces with fittings or decals. You see, the low GPM caused me to get in tight to focus the rinsing effect. If I had a 4GPM unit with the same PSI I probably could have cleaned that whole tractor in well under 10 min.

  DE-GREASING Factories, Restaurants, Heavy Equipment, Floors, Pavement, and more:
If its the removal of grease, (de-greasing) oils, animal fats, or sticky gummy materials you are looking for then you want HEAT! There is no question that hot water or wet steam melts greasy substances much faster then cold water. Think about it, if a grease becomes more solid at colder temperatures and more liquid at warmer temperatures then it stands to reason that hot water will clean faster then cold. In fact, if you are dealing with substances like animal fatss or chemical that harden in cooler temperatures then spraying it with cold water on it is counter productive. If you use the right detergents most surfaces will clean without heat but heat will work better and faster with less use of chemicals. As for the PSI or GPM, well that will depend upon your situation. If you are inside a commercial kitchen likely can not have 5 GPM flooding the place. However, if you are cleaning dumpsters, loading docks or maybe gas stations high GPM would be very helpful. Consider one of our 325 degree steam cleaning units or FULL COMBINATION units that incorporate cold water, hot water and steam cleaning in one unit. Wet steam is the best option for degreasing in most cases. Second best is hot water.

 YOUR LOCATION: Does Your Location Have Enough Water Flow = GPM?
GPM This tells you how much water the unit uses every minute. Be sure to check your water flow rate (GPM) at your location. Here is a simple test. Get a common 5 gallon bucket. Next, get your garden hose and a watch or clock. Turn your water on full pressure, check your watch and start filling the bucket. Stop filling at exactly 1 minute. If your hose fills the bucket, you have a flow rate of at least 5 GPM. If it doesn't, estimate how many gallons were filled in that minute. Not sure? do this, measure the inside of the bucket from top to bottom. Take that measurement in inches and divide it by five. 5 for the five gallons. Take your measurement (lets say it is 4") and put 5 marks inside the bucket from bottom to top using that measurement. Each line will now represent one gallon. Now do the test again.

 GETTING MORE WATER At Your Location Is Easy:
You can simply order a storage tank for your truck, shop or work site. Just Renew-It! Industrial Supplies has a great selection of Loomis tanks ranging from as little as 55-gallons to 15,000-gallons! This approach allows you to order ANY GPM size pressure washer!  Will You Need A Large Tank?. Not likely! Why? Let me give you an example. Lets say you want a Steam Jenny Pressure Washing system that consumes 5 GPM but your work site only has a hose that only puts out 4GPM. You are 1 gallon per minute short. Lets say you get a very small tank, say the 55 gallon one mentioned above. First fill the tank with water in advance. Have it filled and ready to go. Next, connect your pressure washer inlet to the bottom of that tank. Put your 4-GPM garden hose in the top and turn it on. Your 5-GPM jenny will work fine for about 55 minutes. Why? The hose is replacing 4-GPM as the Jenny is taking 5-GPM, This means the tank is only losing 1 gallon of water per minute. Of course, you can order any size tank. Example, 250 gallon tank, in the example above would give you a 250 min run time. That's over 4 hours of NON STOP Cleaning. Naturally, if you stop power washing between that time the tank will be filling back up. We sell a complete line of water storage tanks here. Have a look.

QUESTION: What does PSI and GPM stand for?
ANSWER: PSI Stands for "Pounds per Square Inch" of water pressure the unit puts out. GPM stand for "Gallons of water Per Minute". This tells you how much water the unit uses and puts out every minute. Both are important when considering what unit to buy. Be sure to check your water flow rate at your location. Here is a simple test. Get common a 5 gallon bucket. Next, get your garden hose and a watch or clock. Turn your water on full pressure, check your watch and start filling the bucket. Stop filling at exactly 1 minute. If it fills the bucket, you have a flow rate of at least 5 GPM. If it doesn't, estimate how many gallons were filled in that minute. Not sure? do this, measure the inside of the bucket from top to bottom. Take that measurement in inches and divide it by 5. 5 for the five gallons. Take your measurement (lets say it is 4") and put 5 marks inside the bucket from bottom to top using that measurement. Each line will now represent one gallon. Now do the test again.

QUESTION: Why would I want a super heated pressure washer rather then just cold?
ANSWER: Cold water at high pressures can be a powerful cleaning tool. Hot water can also be a powerful cleaning tool. When you combine high pressures and super heated water/steam you get superior cleaning results. You can clean AND sanitize surfaces in one pass. This saves you time and money. The high pressure HOT water mode will allow you to cut through grease, oil, dirt and grime faster then cold water. This super heated cleaning power allows you to clean items that once took hours to clean in minutes. This super heated steam means you can not only clean faster but you can actually sanitize while you clean. All this WITHOUT chemicals!

QUESTION: What do you mean by OIL FIRED or OIL HEATED?
ANSWER: The Oil Is What Fires Or Heats The Water. Oil can be simple Diesel, #2 Home Heating Oil, JP-4 Jet Fuel or Kerosene.

QUESTION: What powers or pumps the water pressure?
ANSWER: It depends upon the unit. Some are powered by a 120 volt, 220 volt or 460 volt electric motor and some are powered by a gasoline engine. See individual individual classes for specifications.

QUESTION: What is the advantages of a gasoline powered unit vs. electric?
ANSWER: The gasoline version eliminates the need for electrical extension cords. This makes the unit much more portable. It can be transported to remote job sites where there is no electrical hook-up. Just add your fuel, connect a water supply and push start! 100% portable.
