www.landypressurewashers.com is the place to go. Good machines, good service, good folk, good value. I have a static 3ph machine, and a pto washer for sheds and drain jetting, both good.

Don't need a dump gun but have to use a gun called a RL 84 (£150) to cope with the flow and pressure. A dump gun is used with drain jetters as there is usually no bypass valve/unloader on a drain jetter so if you stop the flow there is nowhere for the water to go, it will dead head and blow something. A decent bypass/unloader for a drain jetter is about £260 plus pipework and it is a wearing part. Big draw back with a dump gun is the water peeing out of it all the time.

No, put chem injector on water supply hose and run mix through pump at full pressure.

Being only 15 miles away from Brian Nixon we would of been daft to go anywhere else when our old steam cleaner gave up the will to live , 1 year on and very pleased with it
Anybody tried/uses a Sealey pressure washer? I've got other Sealey tools and a compressor and they're pretty good for what I need. I like the look of this- 10L/minute, self priming, 220 bar.
For £600 odd it doesn't look to bad, just wondered if anyone had any experiences with it or similar?
Only be used maybe couple of times a week for cleaning machinery-nothing extreame

10litres per min is pretty feeble! Would expect alot more than that from a petrol washer.

How about a nixon
Depends what you are used to. We have a Honda gx390 with 15l per minute. I used one of the smaller ones and it’s ok, just a Little slower.
i would be dubious of the sealey as to what sort of engine it had, and if you can buy spares. you can get a Honda for not much more money.

if in doubt, hire a similar one for a day and see how you get on

When buying a pressure washer it's the flow rate that makes a good one, high pressure on the cheap ones but rubbish flow so not very good at washing anything. I make my own from components, motor/pump separate and bolted inside a building and hose through the wall, I know it's static but is ok for me,. I just replace whatever goes wrong,. Motors last about 15 yrs and pumps 10 ish, last pump was £230.

How so?
sounds interesting making one. What would I need??
I just get a 3 hp motor, slow running. High flow Pump to fit about 12 lts min. Flexible coupling to join pump to motor. Unloader valve. Low pressure Chemical injector. And starter switch. Plus pipes as needed. Most bits are online . Put it all together and you've got a cheap pressure washer. Mine is bolted permanent in a shed so does not need to be moved. Last time I priced the bits up everything was about £500 ish for a High flow machine that you just replace anything that breaks. To buy a machine with the same sort output was over £1800 when I checked last. Or find a old used machine and just replace the broken bits as required and you will end up with a tidy working machine. I don't repair components I just change to new bits. Pump/motor etc as need. Works out a lot cheaper.

Where is the best place to buy hoses, fittings etc online
Some bits I get from Malcolm Smith cleaning. And some from eBay. Prices do vary a lot. Or check your local hydraulic hose company, or cleaning chemicals firm they can be good. The last part I needed was a new Lance not the trigger or jet holder just the basic Lance. Chemical firm had them in stainless steel for £14.[emoji2] . Just shop around, worth the effort. Last pump I got was £200 new,just bolt it on.

That’s what appealed to me about the Nixon I have. All the parts are simple, readily available, and easily accessible. If/when something goes, I can replace it myself relatively cheaply & easily, not that I’ve needed to yet.
