Which would be best for cleaning parlour? Neither installed here but need something. 24/12 parlour. Volume washer..fast wash down,cheap to install but uses lots of water.
Power washer..more expensive,uses less water but cleaner finish.
What do others use ?
 
Volume washer to me would be the job for a parlour, you are getting everything washed when it is fresh on so should be easier washed? Power washer used twice daily would be too sore on plaster/concrete?

Volume washer would be my bet a jet wash flinging stuff up the walls and ceiling would drive me mad and would add considerable time every cleaning

Volume washer every time. A pressure washer blow s@%t everywhere but where you want it to go.

If the mucks less than 2-3 hours old, volume washer , anything more when it’s had time to dry, use a pressure washer.
I was wrongly recommended a volume washer for washing down our robots, total waste of time when the mucks had half a day to dry onto steelwork etc.

Used to have a grundfos was down pump, can’t remember the details but it once it stopped working and needing replacing we were quoted 2k for a similar spec pump so guess power doesn’t come cheap.

Is that a foamer lance on a pressure washer? Progene dairy foamer for the volume washer is £500 plus £70 for a drum of chemical. Doesnt look alot to it if i'm honest.
