Frequently Asked Questions
The abbreviation “PSI” stands for pounds per square inch. It simply refers to the amount of pressure used to clean a surface.
PSI will vary depending on the pressure washer and the task at hand. For example, an electric pressure washer that you can use at home may reach around 1,000PSI; on the other hand, a heavy-duty pressure washer that is more suitable for industrial use can go up to 3,500PSI, or even higher.
If your tasks are focused on chores such as cleaning roofs, walls, patios, sidewalks, and some other activities such as car washes, then the pressure washers with a PSI of 2200 (models G20, G30, G40, G50) are suitable for all of the above cleaning tasks. If you want to clean stubborn graffiti and stains, then you may need a higher PSI. The Grandfalls Pressure Washer PRO with a PSI of 2500 is best for deep cleaning and versatile use.
The Giraffe Tools' Grandfalls Pressure Washer seems to be a good option for home use. Here are the reasons why it could be considered the best pressure washer for home use:
All-in-one unit: The Grandfalls Pressure Washer combines a hose and a pressure washer, making it convenient and easy to use. With its automatic retraction system, the hose can be easily and automatically retracted with a gentle tug.
Ideal pressure: The Grandfalls Pressure Washer has a maximum PSI of up to 2500, which is suitable for most domestic tasks. This level of pressure can effectively clean surfaces without causing damage to your car or house.
Environmentally friendly: The Grandfalls series is designed for environmentally conscious homeowners. It features a Total Stop System (TSS) that automatically shuts off the pump when the trigger is not pulled, saving energy and extending the life of the pump. Additionally, it uses 60% less water than a conventional garden hose, reducing water consumption and making it a more eco-friendly choice.
Considering its convenience, suitable pressure level, and eco-friendly features, the Giraffe Tools' Grandfalls Pressure Washer could be considered one of the best pressure washers for home use. However, it's always important to research and compare different models to find the one that best suits your specific needs and preferences.
If you only need it for occasional use or lighter tasks, a cheap option may be sufficient. We highly recommend the Grandfalls Pressure Washer G20 which is best for light duty and compact storage.
However, if you require more power, durability, or plan to use it frequently or for heavy-duty tasks, investing in a higher-quality model such as Grandfalls Pressure Washer Pro may be worth it in the long run.
How To?
To prevent leakage, it is crucial to follow these steps diligently. Firstly, ensure the water inlet adapter is correctly installed. Double-check that the connections are tight and secure to create a proper seal. Secondly, it is important to control the water inlet pressure and keep it below 0.8 MPa (116 psi). Excessive pressure can cause stress on the connections and potentially lead to leaks. By adhering to these guidelines, you can minimize the risk of leakage and enjoy a hassle-free experience with our product.

Therefore, to ensure the proper functioning and longevity of your pressure washer, please only connect it to a cold water supply.
